NAPoLEoN'S EVIL EYE.
A Feature of the Emperor That Re-
venIed His Intense Love
of Warfare.

Lord Russell, when the present
writer questioned him about Napoleon,
said, and emphatically repeated, that
there was something very evil in his
eye, says Goodwin Smith. i'm Atlantic.
He added that the eye flashed at an
allusion TO the excitement of war as
contrasted with the dullness of Elba.
A feature in the character which. per-
haps, has hardly been enough noticed,
was a sheer lust of war; and especial
ly of battles, the emotions of which.
Napoleon seems to have owned. were
agreeable to him. 1t appears not i'm
probable that this had a share, to-
gether with his Unsuitable ambition
and his political need of glory, in
launching him on his mad invasion of
Russia, for which ii is difficult to as
sign any political purpose. as he re-
fused to restore the kingdom of Po-
land.
Another feature not much noticed in
Napoleon's character is his classicism.
In his early days he had employed his
garrison leisure partly in reading Ro-
man history; and instead of being re-
PEELED he had been fascinated by the
presentation of the Roman empire in
Taeitus. We see the result in his Ea-
giles, his Legion of Honor, his political
nomenclature, and the general cast of
his political institutions. Perhaps the
image of the Roman empire as a model
for reproduction hoated vaguely be-
fore his mind as it does before those OF
our imperialists at the present day.
A grosser anachronism, IL Is needless
to say, there could not be than an at
tempt 10 impose on the European FAM
lily Of living nations anything like the
yoke imposed by Rome on . set Of con-
quered provinces IN which national
spirit was extinct

over the side of the boat, watching an

1t was Jacks last day. He had been
mereiless in his wooing, but he was
desperately in earnest, and fighting
against time.
To Jocelyn, who knew nothing be-
yond a trip to Oakland or around the
bay, under the guidance of Sister Celes-
tine, the days had seemed like a fairy
tale. There had been the long, long
tramps while the fog hung over the
Pacific, and later, the magical days
when the ship foated among the piney
islands of the Canadian coast. And
now there was queer little ache in
her heart which she could not under

Jocelyn was quite absorbed in the

Jack. Old Fellow: Did you know that
I have a sister? had half forgotten the
fact myself until there came a letter
coolly announcing that she was tired of
boarding schools and was coming up
to keep house for me. She sails on the
Queen. Deming tells me you take the
same boat. Look after the kid a bit,
won't you? Keep her from flirting or
falling overheard. Yours.
tom BRIEFLY"
TACK HAMILTON swore softly
I'll to himself. The idea of being
"chaperone, and probably father
confessor to Observation-Disclosures
schoolgirl" filled him with horror.
What on earth could he talk TO her
about, he asked himself and why
hadn't he enough common sense to
open his letters before coming on
board? Then he could have missed
the boat.
The truth of the matter was that
genial. whole-souled Jack was in love
had been for three days--and, worst
of all, he did not know her name. He
only knew that ''her face. it was the
fairest that e'er the sun shone on"
and that mornings she rode in
Golden Gate park.
He had haunted the park and exer-
cised all his ingenuity, but had not
managed an acquaintance. And now
he was off for six months of bridge
building in the White pass. He real
lied he had not even a fighting chance
with Fate, and felt correspondingly
disagreeabe, as he stood looking back
over the fast widening waters.
Already the distance was blotting
out the Golden Gate; the Cliff house
was blur against Sutro Heights, and
only the faint, green sweep of trees
above the sand dunes marked the Gold
en- Gate park.
In fancy he could see a certain dain-
ty little figure riding there in and
out among the winding paths.
Jack drew himself up with a start.
his incoming" would never do. He
resolved to hunt up the little school
girl and amuse her. He turned, only
to stand transfXed, for there. almost
at his elbow. was his Lady of the
Park" Her habit was replaced by the
iauntiest of yachting costumes, and
her face was radiant with health and
happiness.
Jack felt the spirit of the Conqueror
upon him. The Queen was very
different matter from San Francisco.
As the day wore on, however, he felt
his courage wane. He bribed the mate
to introduce him, but she said gently
to him that she did not care to make
any acquaintance. And. indeed, con-
versation would have seemed sacri-
lepious TO her. There was the glorious
ocean and the wonderful wind out Of
the west. and she had eyes and soul
for nothing else. She thought of life
in far-away lands, Of the little brown
people in their island of flowers, of
the fighting line in the Philippines,
until. at last. the sea grew grim under
a leaden sky, and the fog came down
and shut out the world.
Everyone fled TO stateroom or cabin.
The great fog horns were shrieking,
the sea was running high, but its
voices called her. and she struggled
back TO the railing, only TO discover
that the boat was rocking so that
she dared not leave. She laughed
little to herself, and wondered II she
must stay there all night. No, some
one was coming.
"Will you help me, please?" she
called.
Would he help horl Jack managed

ADMIRAL SCHLEY

The only occupant was David Webber
and he was in bed sound asleep. He
was gotten out with some difficulty as
the house had filed rapidly with
smoke ana the flames spread very fast.
An effort was made to save some of
the household effects but practically
everything was lost. Mr. Webber is a
pensioner having served in the navy
during the Civil War. He had just re-
ceived his pension allowance and this
money was burned although those on
the Harpswell steamer were unable to
say what the amount was.
The house was probably worth about
$500 and is known to have been insur-
ed for 500. The fire started around the

A QUEER COMPLICATION.
Knox County Without Officials Who Can Legally
Open Court.

Rockland. Me. Dec. lS.-The death Of
Sheriff Timer, today. brings about a
somewhat inconvenient condition OF ar
fairs Under the law. ali the deputy
sher.ffs go ont of office with the demise
of the high sheriff. and this fact IS key
to cause Il pOstponement Of the December
term of court tor knox county. The sole
officials now clothed Gith authority in
the county who can legally perform du
ties devolving upon the sheriff are coro-
ners, and some of the best lawyers claim
that the opening of court is not within
their province. This being the case, no
session of court can be held until the
Governor fills the vacancy. and as seven
days must then elapse before the nomi-
nee can be confirmed by the Council and
assume office. it is expected that the next
term will not be held until some time in
January The matter has been submitted
to the law court at Augusta with the
object OF ascertaining If there i any
other WAY out of the dilemma
