I poleon" in after years. This was a boy
named PhelipeauX. Picot de Peccadeuc-
| We shall also meet him again-sat be-
tween the two boys for a time, but when
/ his shins were black and blue from their
wild kicks at each other he asked to be
moved from the firing line.
The most important thing that hap
pened to Napoleon while at the Ecole
was a new course Of reading he took UP
at once after entering the place. Paris
| was then sitting on the volcano Of the
revolution, reading Adam Smith, d'Alam-
bert, Montesque, Voltaire, and Rousseau,
and the boys mind passed under the in
fuence OF the revolutionary philosophy
which was swaying the thought of the
capital.
The Death of His Father
In the first months Of his stay at tbs
Ecole his father was in France once
more, but this time for his health. He
came to see Paris physician regarding
a severe stomach trouble which had been
affecting him for some time. and 1t was
found that he had cancer. Leaving
Paris, he was at Montpelier. in South
ern France, when his disease overcame
him, and there he was taken into the
home Of NJ Permon, lately returned from
service in the American Revolution and
whose wife was COrsican- After a long
illness he died at the Permons and was
buried in Montpelier, in the thirty-nlnth
year Of his life.
Carlos days, though few, were yet
crowned with a success which he COW
eted above any gains for himself; an OPP
portunity for his children to take the
position in the world to which he thought
their birth entitled them
Like most men Of great force, Napoleon
was the son of a weak father and a
strong mother. Yet there was something
truly Napoleonic in Carlo Bonaparte's
bold assurance and restless ambition, and
this may have been his legacy to Ma
poleon. As a whole his character was q
vain and futile one, but his very weak
ness fitted him to play a certain useful
part in the drama of his sons life.
Graduated without Honors
In the ten months that Napoleon was
at the Ecole he read much and studied
hard, but won no special mark. He
never was an officer OF the corps or head
of the mess. He got along well with his
teachers, and some of them he never
ceased to remember with gratitude. In
after years there were those who boasted
that they had recognized his genius
when at the Ecole, but poor Baur, the
a remark he made one day in Septem-
ber 17S5.
Where Is NJ de Bonaparte?" he asked,
as he looked over the class.
In for the artillery examination" some
one replied.
What Does he know anything?'
why, he is one Of the best mathema-
ticians in the school"

idiots were fit to study Mathematics
Napoleon was examined by La Place.
the celebrated mathematician and as
tronomer. And among the fifty-six young
men who passed. he stood forty-two from
the top!
His long and hard apprenticeship in
the trade of the sword was finished at
last and he was now at the threshold OF
another six years apprenticeship, which
held privations more bitter still. an ap-
premiership in the great school Of life.

L. of Napoleon is the first
biography Of the man to be
written chapter by chapter at
the scenes of his amazing ex-
PLOTS. To equip himself to
write this distinctively news
paper story Of the most SEN
sational career in history, Mr..
Morgan visited all the princi-
pal backgrounds in Napol-
cons life, going into three
Continents and crossing inter-
national frontiers more than
20 times. In this way he is
enabled to make news Of his
tory, and while he has writ
ten a complete, fair, and ac-
curate life Of Napoleon, he
has done it as freshly and WV
idly as if he were reporting a
current event.

His independence, however, was piqulng

served to bring him more into their favor.
His Only Friend
At any rate, he found himself after
awhile on better terms with his surround

In NanoIeon's last winter at Brienne,
there was a heavy snow, which brought
him an opportunity, the only recorded
one, to be a leader among his school-fei-

tending forces had delved so deep that
gravel was mixed with the snowballs and
the casualties grew serious.
The school as a school seems to have
been rather poor. It utterly failed to dis
cover Napoleon, and there Is no record
of this world-beater having won single
prize at Brienne. He received dancing
lessons, but did not learn to dance. He

read Latin authors with a real hunger
for knowledge, but never got beyond the
fourth class In his Latin studies. He re-
ceived writing lessons, but his penman-
ship is perhaps the worst in history.
The library was his favorite haunt. In
the recreation periods he was more likely
to be there with a volume OF Plutarch
in his hand than on the playground. He
had found for himself the combination of
the lock on the storehouse Of knowledge
a desire TO read books. the habit of read
ing them, and a capacity to understand
them.
Mr.. Morgan in Brienne
He had been at Brienne more than I'VE
years and was a few months past his If
teenth birthday when he was promoted
to the Ecol Militarie at Paris. Probably
the only person in town who marked his
departure, the only soul who cared
whether he stayed or went, was Bour-
rienne, who rode with his friend as far as
the stage line for Paris. But Napoleon
came to Brienne again after twenty
years, and once again after ten more.

less, unsociai stranger became a target
for all manner Of taunts which some.
| times threw him into fits of ungovernablc
rage. He found, moreover, that the lit.
tie aristocrats of sophisticated France
had by no means the innocent minds and
wholesome thoughts of the youth Of his
more primitive race, and he was shocked
and repealed by the moral tone OF many
of his schoolmates-
All circumstances united to drive the
moody boy in upon his moods, and for
awhile at least he led a gloomy, solitary
existence up here on the prairie of North
eastern France, far from his kindred and
with his sunny island bleak and wintry
land.
Rebe1lious Subject
He did not get along with the friars
much better than with the boys when he
first came to Brienne. He was not un-
ruly, but his air Of sullen defiance and
his aloofness troubled the priests. While
by the government, te seems to have re-
ceived at least one fiogging. Again, for
some infraction Of rule, he was ordered
to do penance by eating a meal on his
knees at the door OF the refectory, be-
fore all the boys. He protested vehe-
mently that his mother had told him to
kneel only to God, and that he would
kneel to no man. His indignation finally
running into a wild tantrum he had to
be carried OF to bed.
Fiainly the <hlns OF FRANCE was nur-
turing a very rebellious subject. One of
the friars reminded him Of the debt of
gratitude he owed the King, but the boy
was steadily forming the purpose to en-
ploy the education the nation was giving
him as means Of promoting the liberty
Of Corsica rather than the glory of
France. IT will do these French all the
mischief I cam" he muttered. according
to the report of one of his classmates. A
priest reproving him at confession for his
denunciation Of France. he ran out into
the church, shouting: 81 do not come
to this place to talk about Corsica, ana a
priest has no mission to lecture me on
that subject"
Probably with the idea of bringing him
into line, the friars gave him a post of
honor in the corps. but the boys court

sent to girls school to receive lessons
from nuns, and next he passed to a
brothers school, able Recco's, where
he gave the first sign of his aptitude for
mathematics
| The boy was only nine when he bade
good-by to his home to enter upon a six
years school course among strangers in
strange land, never again. to know
throughout the tender years of youth the
loving care of a mother or the affections
and comforts of family circle. Sailing
away from Ajaccio on a winters day,
with his father and Joseph and his uncle
Fesch, he first set foot on the soil of
France at MarseiIles.
In q Strange Land.
For three months he stayed with Joseph
at Autun, in order that he might be in
structed little in the French language,
as he still spoke only the Italian dialect
Of Corsica. When the time came for him
to leave for Brienne the elder brother
wept loudly at the parting, but only one
tear escaped Napoleon's self-repression,
and that evidence OF weakness was
quickly brushed away. Joseph might
cry; he was going to be a priest but a
soldier must have a stout heart
The boy would need at Brienne all the
stoicism in his nature. The discipline
here was prescribed by the war depart
ment as suited to the breeding of SOL
been equally suitable for prison, and it
would be looked upon in our day as a
cruelty severe regime to impose upon a
boy as young as Napoleon.
Once he was in Brienne, he was there
to stay until his course WAS finished. He
had no vacations or hardly an oppor-
tunity to see the inside of a home. He
saw his mother only once, when, yearn-
ing to look upon her boys, she persuaded
herself to leave her family cares and
join her husband on journey to France,
where she was shocked to find Napoleon
so thin and worn.
He wore a blue uniform with red fac
ings and white metal buttons on his coat
and he had to do his own mendIng. His
hair was cut short until he had reached
the age Of twelve, after which he was
privileged to sport a pigtail, but it must
not be powdered except on Sundays and
saints days. He slept by himself in a
six-foot cell, but ate with the other boys
in the mess hall and knelt with them in
the chapel at morning mass and evening
prayer.
The Little Corsican.
The little Corsican had found himself
mark for the boys Of Autun at the out
set of his life in France and never was
permitted to forget that he was an alien.
He was greeted with the same nischiev-
Gus hostility here in Brienne and had to
contend with bitter disadvantages.

BRIENNE LIE NAPOLEON.

The ickleness Of fame! Brienne had
been proud one day to link her name
with that OF the little Corsican she once
despised, after which there came an
other day when she painted out his name
as II II never had been. But there 1t still
is, shining through the unavailing effort
to eclipse It
The Immortal Schoolboy.
Turning into the other main street. I
soon found that was I'm the Path Of
Napoleon" and passing along block Of
idle village shops, came to the slightly
Hotel de Vile. There stood in bronze the
immortal schoolboy Of Brienne, with
golden eagles and a crown at his feet.
but yet only, a long-haired, lean, and
hungry boy. Behind the. statue Is the
door of the Hotel de Vile, and over 1t in
marble the head of Napoleon the man,
with fame and victory browning him.
A little farther on in this street rises
an old wall, and here behind this wall
stood the school Of the Minim friars. the
first perch of the eagiet in his hight from
the mother nest at Ajaccio. The school
is no more; Il was closed by the revolu-
