CHAPTER XVIII.
Summoned.

On the morning of May 8, 1910, the
sun shone gaily in London 1t filtered
in intricate patterns through the cur
tains which shaded the upper windows
of a house in Carlton gardens, and the
breeze lifted the lace, and sunlight
and breeze together touched the bent
head of a young man who sat at a
writing-tab1e. A lock of hair had es-
capped on his forehead and the air
touched it, lifted it, as if to say: "Be-
hold the Napoleonic curl! See how he
is like his uncle!''
But the pen ran busily, regardless of
the garrulous breeze; there was much
to do for a Woodworking prince who
found time to be the hero of ball
rooms, the center of a London season,
and yet could manipulate his agents
throughout the garrisons of France,
and plan and execute revolution 1t
was the year when the body of Napole-
on the First was brought from ST.
Helena to Paris, and Louis Bonaparte
had resolved, in that steady mind
which never lost it's grip on the reason
| of being of his existence. that with
| the ashes of the emperor his family
should come back to France. For
months the network had been spread,
was tightening, and now the memory
| which held its friendships securely al
ways, took thought of a Frenchman
| living in Virginia AS soon as his let
ter was finished to his father-the pen
flew across the lines:
"The sword of Austerlitz must not
be in an enemy's hands, he wrote to
his father. ct must stay where ii
may again be lifted in the day of dan
ger for the glory of France" His let
| tiers were apt to be slightly oratorical l;
it was moreover the fashion of the day
| to write So
He raised his head and stared into
the street 1t was enough to decide
his expedition for this summer that
| General Bertrand, well-meaning, and
ill-judging, had given to Louis Phil
lipe the arms of the emperor, to be
| placed in the Invalides. Every mem
Der of the Bonaparte family was
aroused, and to the heir it was a trum
pct call. He could hardly wait to go tc
France, to reclaim that insulted sword
He wrote on, finished the letter to the
exiled king, his father, gloomy and
lonely old man whom the son did not
forget through years spent away from
him
| Then he drew out a fresh sheet OF
naper, and his faint smile cleaned
for the thought of this adherent IL

with as worldly-wise an expression as
if one of Guido Reni's dark angels
should talk politics. He went on again,

other men appeared suddenly and dis
appeared at the chateau. and held con-
ferences with the general and Fran
co.'s in that large dim library where
the little peasant boy had sat with his
thin ankles twisted about the legs of
his high chair. and copied the history
of Napoleon These men paid great
attention nowadays to the words of
that peasant boy.

come in at that point with a growl like
distant thunder.

order. He is to rest till he is well.
He has done enough; let the boy alone,

= But the time came, six months aft
er his return, when Francois must be
sent to visit the officers of certain
regiments thought to be secretly
Bonapartist; when he, it was believed
could get into touch with them and
| tell them enough and not too much OF
the plans of the party, and find out
whsre they stood and how much one
might count on them. So, against the
generals wish, Francois went off on a
political mission. 1t proved more com
plicated than had seemed probable; he
was gone a long time; he had to travel
and endure exhausting experiences fol
which he was not yet fit. So that
when he came home to Vicques, two
months later he was white and trans

Francois, listening to these sane
sentiments, was hurt, and not at all
inspired with cheerfulness- Alike.

say it-"there is something 1 have
wanted all my life-all my life"
'Is there?" inquired Alike in COM

and stood again defensive.

to meet him, delighted, pitiless. De
lighted with the work he had done,
with his daring and finesse and sue
cess, without pity for his weakness,
begging him to go at once on another
mission The general was firm as to
that; his boy should not be bounded;
he should stay at home in the quiet old
chateau and get well. But the boy
was restless; a fever of enthusiasm
was on him and he wanted to do more
and yet more for the princes work.
At this point two things happened:
Pietro came from London, and Fran
co.'s, on the point of leaving for anoth-
er secret errand, broke down and was
i'll. He lay in his bed in his room at
the farmhouse, the low upper chamber
looking out-through wide-open case
ment windows, their old loaded little
panes of glass glittering from every
uneven angle-looking out at broad
fields and bouquets of chestnut trees,
and far off, five miles away, at the
high red roofs of the chateau of Vic
ques- And gazing SO, he saw Pietro on
| old Capitaine, turn from the shady ave
nue. of the chestnuts and ride slowly
to the house. With that he heard his
mother greeting Pietro below in the

Pietro went out. 81 have a letter

| Pietro went on again. Moreover, boy
Francois-you are not doing well here
You are too useful; they want to use
you constantly and you are ready; but
you are not fit. You must get away
| for another year or two. Then you
will be well and perhaps by then the
prince will have real work for you
And you must have strength for that
time Your mother says 1 am right.
With that his mother stood in the
eyes, and nodded to Pietro's words Sc
it came about that Francois went bach
shortly to Virginia.
On the day before he went he sat in
the garden of the chateau with Alike

they had sat years before when the

j. S.-JAPAN GET
TOGETHER ON ANTI
ALIEN MATTER

ashington, June 25.-By mutual
an and Ambassador Chind, the cor
respondence between the United
States and Japan over the California
anti-alien land law is to be pub
lished in both countries simultan
eously tomorrow morning.
The correspondence begins with
the japanese protest of May, 1913, IN
advance of the enactment of the
Webb law. and winds up with the
last American note of yesterdays
date, making answer to communi-
cation from the japanese government
received ten months ago.
The correspondence is necessarily
voluminous for the reason that it Is
largely argumentative; the Japanese
government endeavorins to show
that the California law is violation
of the existing treaties. while the
American side of the case lays great
stress on certain language of the
treaty. which apparently almost in
terms excludes Japanese from the
right to hold agricultural lands.
Taken in connection with the declar-
alton of the Webb amendment, that
it is not intended to validate exist
ing treaties, the American conten-
tion seeks to justify the President for
declining to attack the clistitution-
|ality of the California law.
