lean smiled to his stan out of the rnidse of the soldiers. Tn 10 days we shall be in the Tuileries."
 With the cheering battalion leading tbe march the Emperor entered Laffrey village where he received another re- oruit. This was rich glove fnanufac- turer of Grenoble, Jean Demoulin, who brought in his arms a gift of $2000O in gold. The snowball was now growing very fast. At the next village another re egiment, which was marching out from Grenoble under Colonel Labedoyere, came only to fall in with the Battalion behind the Emperor Thenceforth the perplex- ing question. before the Bourbons was whether it tire better to hurry the sol- diers away 0kan his magic and abandon the road to hhn or risk the loss of both the army and the country.
 The people of Grenoble were watch- ing for the Emepror from their walls when he appeared before that city. and they welcomed him with ringing cheers The Bourbon officials before taking flight had locked the gate. But the citizens within and the soldiers without quickly battered it down. The Emperor rode in over the debris and went to the Inn of the Three Dauphns where he settled himself in the room which is preserved in the present Hotel Moderne ct des Trois Dauphins. The people soon came and called him out upon the baloney, and their spokesman explained that since they were unable to present the keys of his good city of Grenoble, they had brought him the gate itself
 The campaign was already won. ''Untu Grenoble was an adventursr," Napoleon said But after Grenoble was . prinee''
 Without the Law
 As -he moved upon Lyons, the Comte d Artois made ready to resist his prog ress. but when he found that the sol- diers refused to cry 'Vive ie Roi" he prudently left the command to Marshal Macdonald, who strove loyalty to erect batteries for the defense of the city. But when at a cry of ''vive fEmpereur' the soldiers began pulling down the works they had only just raised. the marshal put spurs to his horse and raced away as if fearing to catch the infection.
 While Napoleon was sitting down in Lyons, issuing his imperial decrees and recasting the government of France tho allies in the Vienna Congress were de- nouncing him as outside the pale of civiIi- zation and delivering him up Ito public vengeance as the enemy md disturber of the worlds repose." But only one nIore barrier now lay between the Elm peror and his throne. Marshal Ney had been dispatched by the Bourbon govern ment to assemble its scattered army and capture him. The marshal not only prom 1seu to take him, but to bring him back in an iron cage. When some enc sue- gested it would be safer to Kill him out right, Ney insisted that it would be more exemplary to exhibit him to the people of Paris.
 But once among his soldiers, the mar sl'al heard again the old cheer for the Emperor and he received the Emperor's command to join him, with the promise that he would greet him "as on the morn of the battle of the Moskova"-where he had invested him with his princely title. After painful and tumultuous conflict III his bosom, the simple soldier plunged into the tide and announced to his army,
 I am now about to take you to the if,. mortal phalahx, which the Emperor iu leading to Paris.
 After that 1t was idle for the Bourbon. to attempt any further resistance and the truth of the situation was expressed in a testing placard fastened to the Ven. dome column: Napoleon to Louis xVIfI. My good brother, 1t Is useless to send me more troops; already have enouehi" At last, even the Paris troops mutinied. as the swelling forces of Napoleon w.ss. marching and floating down the seine>
 On the Throne Again
 The King saw his throne, for which ha had waited in exile 20 years, sinking be- meath him as If in quicksand. The Emperor was near Fontafnebleau when torch beafer lighted Louis out of ths Tuileries at midnight of Palm BunoAy. For hours afterward the great palace remained deserted while Paris, unmoved silently looked on at the suddenly shift. ing scene.
 Again Napoleon drove Into Cour dS France, but this time to review . triutl- phant army there. where only .a few months before he had sat amid the wreck. agc of his empire. At o'clock . oar. rlage, with regiment of cavalry as its escort. dashed through the cain ana fos into the courtyard of the Tuileries. The door was pulled open. the Emperor was snatched from his seat, and with q smP1e on his lips and with tears on his cheejxr. he was carried up the grand stairway of tho palace.
