CHAPTER W.
Coming to Hts Own.

Six years ago, before Waterloo. Na- poleon had given tho new chateau ot Vicques and Its lands 10 general the Baron Gaspard Gourgaud whom he had before then fashioned into very good pattern of q soldier out of mate rial left over from the old artstocracy i Sicques lay in the Valley pelesmontes of the mountains league from the littIe city Beiesmoutes. whose SIX thousand inhabitants constituted Il the chief city of this valley of the Jura. i Over VicQues hung the mountain 1 called I.e Rose. behind Le Rose loomed that greater mountain called Le Rai. mcu, back of Le Ralmeu rolled the Jura range.
 The Baron General GourGaud, taking possession of the chateau in this month of July. thought it lucky he had not seen this domain of his before. else the vision would have turDed his heart from his duty After a full career almost in boyheed for the Cross of the Legion of Honor had come To him al twenty four after service iu the Spanish and Austrian cam mpaiEns and diplomatic missions, after saving the emp perors life at Moscow after Water ! loo. Napoleon had chosen him as one of three officers to Eo with him to St Helena The chateau and estate ot Vicques had been given To him ny the emperor after that brave and lucky moment at Moscow when, the first man to enter the kremlin. he had suatched the match trom mass ot eHnpowder which would a moment latrr have blown up both officers and emperor

 "I thank you" said the general with seriousness. '1 am not sure if your mother will thank you equally. It is a good present"
 Francois was gratifed Le Clafre had this morning sent him to the gar dens with a wide margin of time, and the inspiration had come as he looked down the gleaming row of white let tuce that he would take a tribute and make the visit which the seigneur had asked him to make.

Francois smiled; then laughed with assurance of the others friendiiness up into the strange mans face. He got to his feet and stood

CHAPTER II.
The Stranger.

The Stranger.
 On an afternoon in July in the year of 1920, Francois, being ten years old and a dreamer. came alone through the gate and sat down with his short legs dangling over an ancient wall. fifteen feet sheer down. He sat there quite comfortable and secure. and kicked his heels, and thought of his brilliant future. and also of the story of the great dog and the treasure. The tradition ran that ages back. in the time of Caesar. fifty years after Christ, a Roman governor in this Gallic prov ince had built formidable castle on this hill outside the village. The castle had great KranaItes to hold the grain which the governor tortured from the peasants and sent to Rome to sell. So he grow rich by oppression. and the gold wrung from the people he piled in collars deep In hts castle When 1t came to be a great amount he sent far to the north and got huge dog, and this dog he trained to terrible fierce ness so that anyone coming near in the long underground corridors where he guarded the treasure was sure to oe torn in pieces, except always the governor
 For years things went on in this way. the governor grinding the peas ants, and the giant dog guarding him and his treasure. till at Last there came a thunderbolt-tl governor was sent for to come to Rome to give an ac- count of the riches which he had kept from the emperor. He had to go. but he left the dog tn charge. and the night after he was gene .he reasantry gath cred and set drc 10 the chateau and burned Il to the ground. and the dog and tho treasure were buried in it, and there they are to tais day The people of Nieques believe tha. If a man will 20 to dix that treasure and will stay til midnight, that at twelve exactly a colossal dog will rise from the ruined stones and come, breathing flames. in his mouth will be the key of the treasure-vauit, and back of him will stand the ghost of the Roman gov ernor wrapped in white. his face GOV 'ftsl- sIu IT Lut man VIII Dt bbIu enough to take the key from the fam ing mouth. then dog and governor will vanish in a clap Of thunder. and in front of the daring one will rise the door of the treasure vault. and he may turn the key and go In and help him self
 Francois considered. and. feeling no fear in his eoul. decided that he was the man destined to take the key out of the dogs mouth and get the treas ure. which he would at once transfer intact to his mother. He had no need for treasure. there were things more important IL was for him to become marshal of F'rance Napoleon had said so. 1t must be 90; but he should like. on the way to this goal. to face the dog and take the key and give hts mother the treasure.
 In the gaiety of the thought, and feeling both ambitious all but accom- pliehed by this decision, he lifted him self on the palms Of his hands and kicked out lightly over the abyss As

Yet by my idea you are chevalier. ere ated so by the act of the most power ful monarch who ever ruled France by our Emperor Napoleon. The time may come when. as the emperor said. you may be marshal of France under another Bonaparte. But that is small thing if the time comes when you may help another Bonaparte to come to his right, to rule over France It Is that of which you must think till the hour strikes. and then it is that which you must give your life for"
 Little Francois. the visionary, the hero worshiper. trembied. ''l will do t, my seigneur." he said. frightened yet

CHAPTER V.
A Game of Cards.

Soi''N Oi SdfbSs
 Francois Beaupre-Le Francois of Vicques sober laborious. had in him a certain pig -headedness, and also vein of the gambler which had swollen with use, yet because 1t had so far brought him only good luck the neigh bors called this good judgment. He was a dealer in working oxen; h' bought and raised and sold them, and only his wife knew what chances he often took ID buying young beeyes. It was simple solid form of speculation, yet il was that ,
 On a day in September he left Vio ques early in the morning to drive to the market in Delesmontes, a league distant. two pairs of oxen which he had bought as calves for almost noth- ing from poor stock out of farm leasues away. He had fed and trained and cared for them till now they were all well set-up and powerful and smooth working ready to sell for good price At the market he found that there were few oxen to be dis posed of. none which compared to his. and his ideas of value went up-hs would get nine hundred francs for them, which delayed the sale.
 So il came to be, by the time his bargain was closed. three o'clock in the afternoon. and he had had no din ner With the cattle off hts hands and the money tn his pocket he felt a sense of leisure and of wealth. Hun ery as a wolf he felt also. and he turned into the Inn of Delesmoutes, where the sign of huge bear. cut out of tin and painted black. swung before the door
 waitress approached him-a som melliere-trim in her short calico skirt and white apron. her hair done in the picturesque fashion of the place The girl took his order, as she turned to go a man just coming in knocked against her, and apologizing with many words, caught sight of Francois
 Good day'" he saluted him heartily. Good day. Monsieur Beaupre," and Francois, friendly always, answered Good day" but with reserve, for he did not recall the man. You don't remember me? That is natural for we met but once Yet l have not for gotten you It was at the house of my cousin, Paul Noirjean of Devillier.-
 Now Paul Noirjean was an old ac- quafntance and solid man, ana though Beaupre did not see him often, living six leagues away. he respected him highly. cousin of his was to be considered and Francois was embar- rassed that his memory could n0t focus on the meeting. He tried tn cover this with cordiality, and invited the stranger to share his meal
 Not at all, not at all" the other answered. Yet we must have a bottle of wine together, but 1t shall be my bottle"
 Francois objected; the man insisted. At length: See, we will play cards for that bottie.- the unknown man sug- gested, and the cards were brought, and game of La rams-euchre-wa in progress in two minutes
 Meanwhile the wine had come, and Francois, a touch more generous and more cordial for it, was genially sorry when he won and the stranger musa pay.
