the Prince had not spoken so conf
dentially to his companion as he did
on this occasion. His nervousness and
irritation, which he no longer took the
trouble to conceal increased as they
passed through the court yard. at the
end of which arose the beautiful ia
cade of which he had spoken--a mas
sive gray structure. with high win
dows and a long mansard roof. Alfred
Boyer, though deeply affected by the
domestic tragedy the tokens of which
were plainly revealed in the Princes
attitude, could not help admiring this
noble building. in which the heroic
Marshal had hoped to ind rest after
his tumultuous career. Still though
the exterior of the oil dhotel was in
harmony with the memorable life of
the Marshal. the interior OF this state
iy dwelling presented, on the other
hand. a contrast which was equally
striking.
There were too many ornaments and
pieces of furniture covered with plush
and other material. and, on the other
hand, there were no genuine works of
art. Moreover, the very daintiness of
the curtains and a certain frivolous
afr which pervaded the entire house
gave one the impression 'of gaudy lux
uries and were certainly an offence to
good taste. The salon into which the
| two men were shown had a corrugated
ceiling. and its walls were covered
| with blue satin. The curtains were of
various eolors and were held up by
bands of silver fringes; the windows
were yelled by double blinds OF silk
| and embroidery; the other furniture
| and decorations were luxurious but
| tawdry. and the result was that this
sumptuous room presented a bizarre
| r.
deed. as though It had been furnished
regardless Of cost by some fashiona-
| BILE furniture dealer so wholly lack
ing was it in useful and appropriate
articles.

his motto was: Honest and clean han

he had these words engraved as sort

bought the hotel" he added after
awhile. Il don't, know how his people
have furnished 1t. but I am sure that
they have not altered the front OF the
building itself. 1t was built In the sew
enteenth century and has the majestic
appearance of all the large structures
OF that epoch. You will be able to
judge for yourself tomorrow. for I
have no intention of spending much
time here. My present plan is to en-
gage some rooms In the Rue de Bour-
gogne and then to drive in this car
rage to the Hotel d'Ivrea. You must
accompany me. for am not paying a

motionless, as though this final effort
was more than he could bear.

Alfred Boyer was delighted with the
proofs, which had come to him by mail
during the afternoon, and he could not
remove his eyes from the title page,
which read as follows: Memoirs of
Marshal Fredet, Prince of Augsburg
end Duke of Ivrea, with an introduce
ton and notes by Alfred Boyer. grad
uGte of the School of History" The
work. to which he had devoted his at
tention for the last two years. was,
therefore, almost completed and his
name would be inseparably connected
with that of this hero of the Grand
Army, who had Joined the ranks as
volunteer in 1892 and who had died
OF grief after the battle of Waterloo.
OF Predicts heroic deeds all the world
has heard. How he fought valiantly
during the campaign in the North. and
subsequently during the italian cam
paign. especially in the hot fight that
took place around the walls of Urea
His brilliant services in Egypt and
Germany also attracted much attention;
in the latter country, for example. af-
ter the battle of Ulm he surrounded
and captured 10000 Germans at the
gates of Augsburg with mere hand
full OF Hussars. At Austerlitz, Jena,
Eylau. Wagram and In Spain this in
Gefatigable soldier managed his troops
with rare skill. as the records of that
ero. plainly show. The Emperor him
self says: Il sent Fredet to Catalonia
with 10000 men, and as Fredet is a
host in himself. knew that they would
do the work of $4,000" Prevented by

in Russia, the Marshal, though he had
hardly recovered his usual vigor per-
formed notable exploits at Dresden and
also at Leipzig. where he held the en-

hours ana tnus enabled the French

After this interview was over and
while he was preparing for the jour
ney Alfred Boyer. though. he had very
little ground for thinking go. became
convinced that the visit which the
Prince intended to pay his sister-in-
law was causing him a good deal of
worry, and that the lack Of harmony
between him and her was the result
OF some mystery. and very sad one.
He wondered how the quarrel between
them originated. and he was satisfied
that 1t sprang from some very serious
cause, since not even the faintest al
fusion had ever been made to the

taken place between the two brothers7
Did the quarrel occur before or after
the younger sons marriage7 Was the
marriage the cause OF the quarrel9
All these questions the young man
asked himself in vain. for he could not
discover the smallest clew toward their
solution. During the long months OF
his sojourn at the castle he had not be-
come intimate with any Of the few
landowners who were his only neigh
bors. In any case he would not have
questioned any OF them in regard to
the family affairs OF the Predicts. for IL
he had he would have considered him
self unworthy of the confidence which
his employer had placed in him from

family papers and admitting him to
