SEE strange. eventful historv OF "a

TINE strange. eventful history of Ma
poleon. the strangest and most
i. eventful in human story, must for
ever start at Ajaccio. I crossed two seas,
therefore, to this quaint. out-of-the- world
capital of Corsica, and it shall be the real
starting point of my 20OOO-mile journey
In the Path of Napoleon
AS l sailed out of the Mediterranean
into the Bay of Ajaccio, between Capo di
Muro and the blood-red Oes Sanguinaire
my eye was enchanted by scene Of
beauty probably unsurpassed in all these
waters except by the larger and grander
Bay of Naples, the twon behind its hoary
gray citadel glistening like white city
where the green slopes of snow-capped
Monte d'Oro come down from the blue
sky to meet the blue sea. The fast little
steamer, the French call it "rapide, 4"
which makes the 21O-mile voyage from
Marseilles in about II hours and the
150-mile journey from Nice in nine, tied
up side-on to the stone dock, where
stepped ashore as from a. train at a rail-
way station and was at once in ia cite
Napoleonienne," with the mementoes of
the immortal Ajaccian crowding about me
on every side.
Not there at the waters edge, however,
does 1.-THE Path of Napoleon begin and
I readily accepted the invitation of the
tall palms at the end of the quay to come
out of the sun into the wide, shady square
which opens the way up town. At the
top of this short Place des Painters I
came to street leading into the older
town back of the citadel. 1t is the Rue
Napoleon.

which is derivselyscalled ''the ink-stand.'
More interesting is the big, wide square
itself, for it was the playground of Napo-
leon and his first battlefield. Whether
II was all Austerltz and no Waterloo
for him In those youthful engagemenyS
we are left to wonder. Ajaecio then was
little walled town, with a gate and
bastion. Between the wall and the citadel
at the point of the peninsula the $500 In
habitants were packed in IS or 20 streets.
The mobiles and merchants, with their
retainers, lived in the old houses within
the wall, while the sailors, mechanics
and 1aborers dwelt in the hardscrabble
village outside.
His First Battlefield
Between the boys of those two COM
munities there was vendetta bequeathedl
from generation to generation of boyhood
and Napoleon first got into action as the
champion of his side in this inherited
quarrel, marshaling his troops, armed
with sticks and stones, to drive the in
vaders out of the town gate and to meet
hostile reinforcements under the wall.
The boy sprang from a fighting race and
was bred to war in an age of strife. His
earliest lesson in history was of the Forty
Years War, which ended at his birth

he adopted Paoli as his model and his lt-I

Friends of the family, seeing him eat-I

Where Napoleon Played
Again / stood on the smooth. clean
paving blocks of the Rue st. Charles,
in that little ruelle. that hardly more
than alley, where an Emperor. three
Kings, Queen, a grand duchess, a
prince and a princess once walked the
echoes with their childish clamor.
Whichever way 1 turn in this older
section of Ajaccio-pronounce the name
as If it Were English and softly as you
can-I shall be "in the path of Napo-
leon" The very dock on which | land
ed is the Quay Napoleon, and bending
down to the shore from a terraced
height runs the Boulevard du Roi Je-
rome, recalling the youngest brother of
Napoleon. Looking up the leafy Place
of Palms to where l heard the ripple
of flowing water. l saw rising out of
a fountain with its four liohs, white
marble statue of the first consul,
sheeted like Roman and with rud-
der in his right hand. Although he fol-
lowed his star by land and not by
water the Ajaccian naturally thinks of
his immortal fellow islander as at the
helm. -
Behind the back of the marble effigy
the shady square comes to an end, and
yet not really to an end. 1t merely nar-
rows into the still spacious Avenue du
Premier Consul, lined by more palms,
and continues straight on for two
blocks, where it is intersected by the
Rue Bonaparte and by the most i'm
portant street in town. the Cours Ma
poleon, along which. the throngs saun-
ter slowly beneath the widespreading
orange trees.
I turned from this Rue Bonaparte into
the Rue du Roi de Rome and wound my
way TO the cathedral. 1t was Sunday,
but the last mass was over and a parcel

of little Ajaccians. with as clear-cut fea-
lures as the chisel of canova carved for
the great Ajaceian, were playing tag bois-
terousy on the church steps and portico.
In this old edifice built before 1900, Ma
poleon's parents were married with all
possible pomp.
At the right of the door stands the
baptisma1 font, surmounted now by an
elaborately crved bronze canopy with
crown at the top, and under the crown
..The glory of God and the glory of the
world is engraved with the names OF
the Bonaparte Princes and Princesses
who were baptized by the priests of the
cathedral. But really the first thing l
saw was a red marble tablet on a
pillar, and there in letters of gold / read
the words in Napoleon's will which fol-
lowed the memorable expression of his
desire to be buried on the banks of the
Seine among the French people whom he
loved:
IF my corpse should be prescribed in
Paris as I have been, wish to be buried
among my ancestors in the cathedral of
Ajaccio in Corsica
This modest, plain old village church
may well boast. therefore, that it stood
only second to the magnificent Hotel des
Invalides in the choice of the imperial
exile. How nearly it came to being both
the burial place and the birthplace of
Napuoleonu
If Ajaccio, however, is not the sepul-
chre of the Maker of Kings, it guards
the dust of the Mother of Kings. | re-
turned to the Place of Palms and entered
the Rue Fesch named for the young
uncle who taught Napoleon his a, b, c's
and who was rewarded with the red hat
of a cardinal. There stands his statue
in the courtyard of the College Fesch,
the sculptured robes of a prince of the
church about him, and here is the chapel
imperial, which, although erected only
in 1860. looks as venerable as the ancient
mausoleum of the Bourbons at st. Denis.
AS I came out of the glare of the street
into the dusk of the chapel 1 saw at first
no other eptaph than that of Mater
Regum" but drawing nearer I read the
engraved roll of Letizia's pNncely off
spring. Her silent companions in the
chapel are her half-brotheI, Cardinal
Fesch, and two, princes and a princess
among the lesser known of the Bona
parties.
The Idol Worshippersl
When Letiza's remains were enthroned
here, having first been brought from
Rome and placed in a chapel of the
cathedral the star of the Bonapartes was
risen again and was shining gloriously
on the second empire. Today Ajaccio,
alone in faithless world, remains faith
full to the memory of the vanished em-
pire and its dynasty.
Some lightning impresslonst has de-
scribed the town as ''the shade of Napo-
leon, with houses built around it," Tt
is a community of idol worshippers; it
is all a big Napoeonic museum, where
every trinket of the Bonapartes is sa-
credly cherished.
There is only one Napoleonic object
in town which the Ajaccians do not take
seriously. This is the group of statuary
in the Place du Diamant at the edge of
the sea. where Napoleon in Roman tog-
gerry sits in bronze on horse poised
atop a block of granite, with his four
brothers afoot at the corners. Even

Gang of Sharpers.

London, April 16.-While it is
known that j. Wilberforce Martin. the
Tennessee milioslaire, who has been
Tissing since April 8, is still alive, his
whereabouts is still matter of mys.
terry both to the London police and
the private detectives who are work.
ing on the case.
The statement that Martin was still
alive. is borne out by the opinion ex.
pressed by Scotland Yard and by De
tective William J. Burns. Martin was
located Tuesday on the fourth floor
of rooming house in the Kensington
district. He was lying there i'll, but
when detectives went there they found
that the gang of sharpers, who are
holding the American prisoner. had
moved him to an unknown address.
