affair of the troop he had done to
give pleasure to Harry Hampton. his
friend. 1t was the only way in which
the lame boy could be on equal terms
with the other boys, and Francois had
determined from the first that every
Joy which could be cleaned out of
it he should have. To be the captain
ought to be JOY.

The Sacrifice.

Young Henry Hampton. thrilled to
as Battista laid him on the deck, and
looked up anxiously at Pietro
'1s he living?" he asked.
He was living, though for an hour or
two the devoted friends who cared for
him doubted if they had not got him
hack only to lose him. But that last
effort of the change to the ship being
past, when consciousness came again
he grew strong more rapidly.
81 thought-the Austrians-would
nab meas l came aboard" he whis-
pered, smiling gaily as he gasped the
words to Alike. "It was-irm in my
mind"
And Alike laughed at him, and told
him that they were far out on the Ad-
riatic now, safe under the American
flag, and the Austrians left two hun
dred miles behind.
"Even if they had-nabbed me-"
whispered Francois, those two days
with you would have paid"
And Alike shuddered little and told
him to go to sleep and stop thinking
of Austrians, for they were out of his
life now forever.
MY seigneur," said Francois next
day when the general took his turn at
sitting by his bed, may l ask ques-
tion?"
ANY question in the world, Fran
co.'s, my son." the general growled at
him, as if the tender words were de-
iance to an enemy.
Francois hesitated. about Alike
and Pietro."
The general shook his head. "Ah
that! That l cannot tell you, Fran
co.'s. Sometimes I believe that have
been mistaken, that" the general as
he stopped looked oddly at Francois
and smiled. Sometimes believe that
even l, even Gaspard Gourgaud. might

might be-yes. In any case | cannot

Francois, thinking deeply, hazarded
another question. HE loves herr"

eral. "He cares most to be with us

exploded at him.
But Pietro loves herr" Francois
asked again, his wistful smiling eyes
searching the generals face.
"Yes-I am sure of it"
And Francois smiled.
mo one could help it," he said half
to himself.
In a day more little Battista came
into Francois cabin and put clothes
on him and wrapped him like mum
my in coats and rugs. and carried him
/ in his arms up on deck, and there laid
4 him in a hammock on the sunny side
of the ship. And the salt air blew on
his face and he gulped 1t in, and by
and by Alike brought chair and sat
by him and read to him, and Francois
lay quiet and wondered II heaven
could be any improvement on this.
So, on that long, bright, calm morn
ing at sea Francois lay in the ham,
mock and watched the million little
waves glisten and break for unknown
miles over the sunlit water. and lis
tened to the voice he loved best in the
world, as it told him of those others
whom he loved also. and of the places

dear to him; and he wondered that he
had indeed come through the long
nightmare of prison to this happiness.
Mr.. Hampton has been talking to
me about Virginia; 1t must be a beau
tiful country" said Alike. Il should
love the free friendly life of those
great domains. 1 believe l could leave
France and Vicques for such a coun-
try as that, where there are no politi.

must live. With us it is always plot
ting and secrecy. Always a war to
look back on or to look forward to.
should like to go to Virginia"
But" said Francois, with his great
eyes glowing, "the war one now looks
forward to in France will be short and
glorious. And after that will be peace,
for there will be Bonaparte ruling,
and that means strength and good
government"
How you believe in the great cap
tain and in his blood" and Alike
smiled down at the pale face on fire
with its lifelong enthusiasm.
One must" said Francois simply,
and paused, and went on. For me-
you know, Alike, how it is. How the
star of the Bonapartes has always
seemed to be my star! l believe that.
| believe that my life is tied to that
house. Nopoleon was more than hui
man to my mind, his touch set me
aside for his uses in my cradle"
And made you a chevalier," Alike
considered. THAT was a true acco-
lade, Francois. You would have a
right to that title under another Bona
parte."
Il believe so, Alike"
And my father believes it. So you
must hurry and get we'll and come
back to France and be fit for work
when the prince needs you, Chevalier
Beaupre. My father has told you that
movement is preparing? He is reck-
less, my father, and it troubles me. 1t
might be unsafe for him to live in
France if his part in these plots were
known"
Then you could come to Virginia
to CarnifaX," and Francois smiled.
But Alike flushed. THAT is Pietro's
estate. not ours" she said quickly;
and then she rose and bent over the
sick boy. Il must go to my father
now," she said, and caught his pitt
full hands suddenly in both hers. "But
oh! Francois, | wish could tell you
how it changes all the world to have
you back again"-and she was gone.
Francois, trembling with a rapture
he could not quiet, lay, not stirring, be-
cause he feared to break the spell of
the touch Of her hands; feeling within
him a rebel hope that yet he would
not let take hold of him. Could it be-?
Was it true? Did she care for him and
not Pietro? Was that the reason that
in all these years she and Pietro were
still only sister and brother? Yet, he
caught and choked the thought Even
then he had no right, he could not,
would not tell her what she was to
him. He would be Pietro's friend al
ways as he had promised long ago;
more, thousand times more now,
when Pietro had given back to him
freedom and life and hope.
