GREAT LOVE STORIES
- OF HISTORY - Z :
BY ALBERT PAYSON TERFIUNE
NAPOLEON III AND EUGENE
Copyright by the Author.l

Napoleon Bonaparte, young, stern
cyn1cal-commander of Frances army
In Egypt-sat silent in his tent at
Cairo. His favorite officer, LIE Febvre,
stood near, not wishing to break in
upon his chiefs thoughts. Those
thoughts, LIE Febvre knew, were doubt
less OF Josephine, the adored wife
whom the commander had been forced
10 leave behind him in France soon
after their wedding. Suddenly Bona
parte raised his head and asked in his
lmperious, rasping voice:
lie Febvre, what do you suppose
Josephine is doing at this moment?"
The officer; more tactful than truth
full, answered.:
General, she is weeping and count
ing the days that must crawl by until
your return"
lie Febvre, you're fool!" snarled
Bonaparte. AT this moment Joseph.
inc is riding in the Bois de Boulogne
on a white horse and in bad CON-
pany!"
Which goes to show that the future
emperor's eyes were already opened
concerning the character of his wife
and that his early worship of her was
dying out. Josephine was a creole,
ignorant but pretty, and with no depth
of character. At Is she had come
to France and married the Vicomte
,u:, de Beauharnais.
Their welded life
was not pleasant.
Josephine was not model wife. Beau
harnais tried to divorce her, failed to
secure the decree, and for time sep
arated from her. Later he fell victim
to the reig of terror and was behead-
ed. Josephine herself was sent to
prison, but managed to win her free
dom. The reign of terror was ending
and France was governed by a COM
mittee known as the "directory." Jo-
sephine became a leader in the de-
cidedly fast social set made up of the
directors relatives and friends. She
attracted the notice of Barras, dis
solute politician, who just then was
high in power. Soon Barras tired of
her. She was past her first youth, her
teeth were bad and she could no
longer help him politically. Also she
had two children to support. 1t was
at this time that she met Napoleon
Bonaparte.
Napoleon, poor Corsican, had had
many changes of fortune and at last
had risen to local military power un-
der Barras. He was just 27. He was
poor, unpopular and lacked the quality
of making friends. He had lived the
life of a hermit. One day loser
visited him to thank the young
eral for the return Of her late.

tree and lit on it's head It bawled
about that for an hour, and then it
got up and turned around and put its
fore feet on the tree trunk and bawled
to be up in the tree again. So Mr..
Spillgath gave it another boost, and it
scrambled up into the crotch and
bleated once joyfully, and fell out of
the tree on the other side.
For week the Reverend Spillgath
spent all his time boosting the calf
into the tree and seeing it fall out
again, but at the end of that time the
calf was able to lie in the crotch of
the tree with it's hind legs hanging
down one side of the tree and it's fore
legs hanging down the other, and it
should have been happy, but it wasn't.
AS soon as it was able to remain in
the crotch it began looking toward
the upper branches and bawling to
be up in them. But as soon as the
Reverend Spillgath gave it boost it
fell through the crotch onto its head.
1t was a sad case of misapplied devo-
tion to an ideal, and Reverend Spill.
gath went over to Aunt Rhinocolura's s
and got another contribution out of
her for the Improvement of the condi-
ton of tree-climbing calves.
Oddly enough the cash contribu-
tions of Aunt Rhinocolura did not
seem to improve the calf in the way
of climbing It remained mighty
poor tree climber, and no explanations
of the art made by Mr. Spillgath
helped the calf much. Mr.. Spillgath
would explain to the calf how to climb
the tree, and then he would follow pre-
cept with example, and would climb
the tree himself, and the calf would
look on eagerly, and fairly pant to do
it herself, and then Mr.. Spillgath
would give the calf a boost and it
would paw at the tree with it's legs
and go plunk! through the crotch on.
to its head. It was a melancholy calf.
When it was not bawling to be boost
ed into the tree it was bawling be-
cause it had alighted on its head. In
a few weeks it wore out that tree, and
Mr.. Spillgath had to do his best to
boost it into the big elm, and that was
pretty hard work, for the crotch of the
elm was about IL feet up. He was
obliged to run to Aunt Rhinocolura
every day for contributions.
What made it worse was that the
calf was growing all the while. and
while it is not SO bad to boost a calf

Who Are the El.ct?


Two modern statements of the doc
trine of Election" neither of which
would quite satisfy John Calvin or
Jonathan Edwards, are given in the
Congregationalist
One was Henry Ward Beecher's cpl
grammatic and convincing phrase:
"The elect are whosoever will; the
non-elect are whosoever won't"
Good as this is, there is another ex.
planation that is star of equal Nag.
nitude. It was made by colored d.
vine, who said:
"Brethren, it is this way: The Lord,
he is always voting for man; and the
devil, he is always voting against him.
Then the man himself votes, and that
. breaks the tie!"

my love, Sarah! l hOped TO

might have clung and which
never have been shaken. But
blast has snapped it and they
fallen over grave"
Thus, in 1903, wrote Robert Emmet,
from his prison cell. The letter was
cut short by the arrival of the guard
that was to conduct him to the scat
fold. His last words and thoughts
were for Sarah Curran, the lovely girl
of his great heart. A biographer tells
in the following lines how utterly the
young patriots affection was recipro-
Gated by Miss Curran:
"She loved him with the disinter-
ested fervor of woman's first and
early love-, When every worldly max
i'm arrayed itself against him, when
blasted in fortune and disgrace and
danger darkened around his name, she
loved him the more ardently for his
very sufferings."
Robert Emmett was an Irishman of
excellent family. From boyhood he
showed every promise Of brilliant
future. At Trinity college, Dublin,
,...;.. where he was a
~ u;a fellow-student and
al" no chum of the poet,
Tom Moore, he distinguished himself
by verjtable genius for oratory. He
also became enthusiastic over the
United 1rishmen" movement and an
earnest worker for his oppressed coun-
try's freedom. On account of his ar
dent patriotism he was expelled from
college in 1898. Thence the 2O-year-
old lad went to the continent of Eu-
rope, where he remained for two
years. Returning then secretly to Ire
land, he threw himself heart and soul
into the plan for general Irish revo-
luton. On July %, 1903, he and his
colleagues attempted to seize the ar
senal and castle of Dublin. The SOL
diers of the garrison beat back their
assailants and the uprising failed.
Emmet escaped to the Wicklow
mountains, where he bided his time
until he could cross safely to France.
Finally his arrangements for flight
were completed. But before turning
his back forever on his native land
he resolved to run the terrible risk of
capture by seeking a last interview
with Miss Curran. His friends ad-
vised against such rash act. But
love was stronger than prudence. The
chance for safe escape passed and
Emmett was arrested. He was tried
for high treason and condemned to
DEATH At his trial he spoke so elo-
quently in protest against 1reland's s
wrongs that the English judge himself
was moved to tears.
Emmet wrote to Miss Curran, and,
according to the story, offered jailer
his watch and all his money to deliver
the letter. Through secret family in
fuence the unhappy girl is said to
have secured leave to visit Emmett in
his cell the day before his execution.
She is also said to have sat in car
riage outside the prison when Emmet
came forth to be hanged, and to have
kissed her hand in farewell to the gal
liant youth.

years his senior. Josephine, was not
carried away by the same fervor.
When Napoleon proposed to her she
asked Barras' advice. Barras (he says
in his memoirs) told her Napoleon had
promising future and advised her to
accept him. The couple were married.
Napoleon received from Barras the
command of the army of Italy and left
for the campaign almost at once after
his wedding. He was desperate at
parting from Josephine and wrote
wildly ardent. love letters to her all
the time he was gone. He conquered
Italy in whirlwind campaign and
was sent to Egypt. By this time he
had heard that Josephine was consol-
of daring flirtations.
Such rumors, as we'll as news of
political crisis in Paris, sent Bona
parte hurrying back to France before
his work in Egypt was finished. Jo-
sephine failed to come to meet him on
his return. A stormy scene ensued,
after which. Napoleon seems to have

Napoleon forced himself to the high

But he and Josephine had no chill
