Rand made his last change Of cars
and boarded the single passenger
coach on the absurd little train. 1t
was branch road running out into
the country, road managed by
few rustic officials who ran their
trains with a fine disregard of sched-
ule, and would gladly slow down to
exchange items of local gossip with
a farmer at a crossing.
1t was, nevertheless, the home road
and Rand had not come home since
he had gone away to the city ten
years before, a lad OF seventeen. He
recognized the old brakeman and the
conductor. but they eyed him as
stranger. 1t was small wonder Ten
years had dealt kindly with the big
clumsy boy whose green crocheted
tie and ill-made coat one scarcely saw
because his face was so sincere ana
strong. The conductor of the little
train beheld now a successful bust
ness man, "a city fellow yet one,
II he had looked more closely, whose
eyes were still frank and true.
Rand did not make himself known
to them. He caught himself wishing
that they had known him, but was
aware at the same time that he was
unreasonable to expect it. To them
the years had no doubt seemed long
err than to him. He had worked hard
not pausing to observe the flight of
time. And since he had met Helen,
how short the months had been,-
sweet little Helen who was soon to
be his WIFE
There were only a few other pas
sengers In the car Rand scrutinized
each one imagining that he might
find in them some old friends of his
youth. A few seats ahead of him sat
a young woman to whom his eyes re-
verted questioningly several times.
There was something about the wave
Of her black hair or the low coil of
It against her neck that haunted him
with a vague familiarity. Once she
turned little and he caught a
glimpse of her cheek Ruth Hayesi
The name unthought of for so many
years flashed into his mind. Ruth. the
pretty little tom-boy playmate of
those early days! But was this sure
ly Ruth? Suddenly she rose tosput
some package into the rack overhead
and in so doing faced him squarely.
Her eyes met his for a second unc r
tainly and then smile of happy rec
ognition lighted her face. :. She ex-
tended her hand. Rand fastened to
grasp 1t with many assurances of de-
light at his good fortune. The girl
was silent at first, but her glad eyes
welcomed him.
They sat down together and soon
fell to recalling old times. One recol-
lection led to another In swift sue
cession. Did he remember the Sun
day school picnic when they ate so
much ice cream, or would they ever
forget the time it poured so on the
straw ride to Weaver's Valley? Ruth,
he soon noticed, could supply many
little details that he had forgotten,
things even that he had said or what
he had worn on some particular occa-
sion. She recounted joyously many
of their old escapades. He became
silent listening and studying her Her
face had lost some of its old mirthful-
ness; it was very sweet, but just a
little sad. Her. voice was low and

But not until he has leaned on the
circular rail of marble directly under
the dome, and gazed on the central
mass of deep red granite in the shad-

feel the true solemnity of the tomb
house. Beneath that massive stone
lies the body of a man who sent thou
sands of his fellow creatures to their
deaths; who shattered and built up
kingdoms at will; who brought to
their knees the haughtiest monarchs
in Europe, suing for his favor; who
lifted his own obscure family from
poverty and the commonplace to
world power and thrones; who found
in the battlefield, in the movements
of great bodies of men, in the roar of
cannon and flash of fire, his chief
stimulus to ambition and a source of
power; and who. at last, broken and
spent, summed up the total of his
hopes in the one last request that his
body might be buried in Paris, by the

the memory of the great man who
for twenty years so swayed her des-
TIMES, France made amends by Civ
ing Napoleon one of the most impress
sive tombs in the world. Unlike most
historic tombs, it is elaborate in plan
decoration and coloring, presenting an
almost theatrical aspect; yet it is pro
foundly impressive
On entering the portal to the tomb
house, under the dome of the Inval-
-ides, the pilgrim is at once struck by
what appears to be an unnatural, al
most uncanny quality in the light
within. For a time he cannot account
for this, but at last he observes that
the place is flooded with blue light,
from a clever arrangement in the
lunettes Of the dome. Truly sepul-
chral is this light, and it's effect is
heightened by the view, across the cir
cular depression in which rests the
tomb, of splendid altar on which is
cast, from concealed windows at either
side, strong yellow light, like golden
sunshine The twisted pillars of the
altar are laid heavily with gold. and
the effect of the yellow light upon it
and upon the silver ornaments, is
remarkably striking.
