blow, his old school friend gave the
secretary a fat official appointment
there. Bourrienne had acquired the
taste for graft. Now that he was
away from Napoleon's watchful eye he
gratified his dishonest cravings with
out stint
He wrongfully vrung huge sums
from the Hamburg senate and from
German noblemen. At last his thefts
became so outrageous that complaint
was made to Napoleon. The latter.
who was now emperor of France, re-
called Bourrienne in disgrace. degrad-
ed him from his office and compelled
him to refund 100000 OF the stolen
money. Napoleon was never noted for
gratitude or for kindness. The fact
that he had done anything at all for
the ex-school chum was unusual. Now
he washed his hands OF the man.
Bourrienne, turned adrift and forced
to give up part of his ill-gotten cash,
became Napoleon's bitterest enemy
He did all in his power to injure his
former benefactor and toiled cunning
ly for the emperor's downfall.
In 1914 Napoleon was overthrow
by the allied powers of Europe and
was packed off to Elbe an exile. Bour-
rienne was among the first to hail
Louis XVIII. (the Bourbon king Of the
allies set on Frances throne in Napo-
Icons place., and to clamor for office
under him.
Then back from Elba came Ma
poleon. All France rose to greet him,
and Louis XVIII. fed for his life Ma
poleon offered pardon to nearly all his
political foes, but he pointedly re-
fused to forgive Bourrienne Tremb-
ling at his own danger, Bourrienne
rushed for safety to the still fleeing
Louis XVIII. This act Of devotion"
touched the heart of the fugitive king.
He made Bourrienne minister of state
after Napoleon's second and final
| downfall. The turncoat Jared well for
some years. But, like most grafters,
Bourrienne at last lost every penny OF
his tainted wealth. He was forced to
fee from France to escape his cred
! itoTs.
His mind gave way and, in 1884, he
| died in an insane asylum.
