Napoleon Bonaparte, as IL well known,
was in the habit Of walking with his
arms crossed upon his chest and his
head slightly bent forward. Isabey,
the painter, was at Malmaison. and he

camp were having a game Of leapfrog
on the lawn. Isabey had already
them. when ut the turning Of path he
espied the last player. who, In the req

the ordeal. lsabey pursued his course
without looking, but took his flight so
badly as only TO reach the others shout

the sand.

Bonaparte, who got up, foaming at the
mouth with anger, and, drawing his
sword, pounced upon the unfortunate
artist. Isabey, luckily for himself. bet.

got over the wall and never stopped
until, breathless, he reached the gates
Of the Tuileries.
Isabey, IL was added, went immedi-
ately to Nine. Bonaparte's apartments,
and she, after having laughed at the
mlshap, advised him to lie low for a
little while.

and women shrieked with fear. One
or two other carriages were broken
and twisted, and "A third horse was
completely stripped of its harness.
