NapoIeon's PeephoIes.

A curious Napoleonic relic still pre-
served in st. Helena is a pair Of shut
tiers, each with Il peephole. st. Helena
was strongly garrisoned in Napoleon's
time for divers reasons. and the Brit
ish soldiers exercised on Deadwood
plain, close to Longwood.
Napoleon liked to look at them, but
did not like them to look ut him
hence those two shutters, one witt
a hole on a level with his eye while
standing and the other with a hole
adapted to his vision while seated.

BY Jules LeMaitre.

HE curtain fell in the midst Of
the third act Of "Tredegonde."
The tragedienne, Cornelia Tosti
had refused to go on. simply because
she was tired, so terribly tired that her
feet could not carry her, and her voice
had become harsh and hoarse-in one
word because she had grown so years
bid, and years on the stage count
double. And as she now stood in her
dressing room. so tired that she even
refused to take OF her stage cos
tune, and saw the pale. WORKOUT
image of herself in the large mirror,
she was in despair and cried until
morning, when her chanbermaid found
her lying across the bed in a death
like stupor, still wearing the meroving-
ian cloak and blonde wig.
When the doctor arrived he told Cor
nelia, as he had told here a hundred
times before, hat she must give up
the stage, and the only concession he
made was to permit her to create one
more new part, the heroine in the
drama 'Melissandra," which her coun-
tryman, the famous Eusebio Nasone,
had written for her. And this time
the actress believed what the doctor
said.

human hearts-the young enthusi-
astic admirers in foreign capitals. who
had drawn her carriage from the thea

perhaps in a few months, the famous
Tosti would be forgotten. No, it
was impossible. She would rather die.
Yes, die as the heroine in q great
drama, as wonderful as her own life.
The rehearsaIs began. The heroine
of the drama. a mysterious creature.
dangerous to the hearts of all men
who came within her reach, poisons
herself on the stage after a series of
the most extraordinary crimes. This
death, the reporters said, was TO be
