q lieutenancy. Jerome landed at Norfolk,
Va. In the summer Of 1909 with Capt
Joshua Barney, the American sailor Of
fortune, who was retiring from the
French navy. Lieut.. Bonaparte was also
accompanied by a son Of the former d.
rector Rewbell and two other compan-
ions-in-arms, who were as eager as he
for the pleasures Of the shore. At Bal
timore, In the home Of Samuel Chase, q
signer Of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, Jerome met the eighteen year-old
daughter of William Paterson. an Irish
immigrant who had won his way from
poverty to the rank of the richest mer-
chants in America.
While 1t was said of Elizabeth. or

first meeting and left him wholly
charmed. In one swift month more while
in Washington, where he dined at the
White House with President Jefferson.
the wooer announced his engagement,
and in q few days took out a marriage
license.
The French consul general warned the
Patersons that by the law of France the
marriage of a man under twenty-five
was not legal unless with the consent Of
a parent or a guardian The family &C.

no better in the ears Of the classes in
America than In England. Betsy was
bundled of to a Virginia plantation and
her lover, seeming to submit. relieved
the troubled mind OF the consul general
by assuring him that the engagement
was at an end. which news was dis
patched to Talleyrand.
1t was nearer the truth, however. that
the spendthrift was at the end of his
financial resources, having burned up
$4,000 in the course of a four-months'
sojourn. The consul general gratefully
responded by a loan and by hiring a ship
in Philadelphia for $4,000 to take Jerome
back to France. But instead of taking
passage for home, the lovesick young
man. who had been in correspondents
with Betsy all the while. returned to Bal

Meanwhile Jerome's companion, young
Rewbell, had married another pair of
eyes that. charmed, and the Spanish min
lister. who also had an American wife,
was interceding for the other pair of
lovers. Perhaps. too. the growing rumor
that the Bonapartes were about to be
transformed into an imperial house was
having modifying effect on Betsy's fam
lily.
Apparently the poor consul general lost
their cooperation in his efforts to break
up the match, for he denounced them
now as Possessed with an Uncomfortable
infatuation for the marriage. It IL really

Bourrienne-he might have prospered as
the proprietor of a matrimonial bureau.
After his capture Of Ulm, he ordered
Josephine to follow his line Of march
through Germany as far as Munich and
visit the courts of his allies. He wished
to REINFORCE his conquering sword with
her captivating smile and employ II to

Josephine seems to have remained the
same Indifferent correspondent as when
she was the bride Of the conqueror Of
Italy, and her husband thus chided her
after the battle Of Austerlitz:

The conquest of Austria completed and
the spoils of victory secured, Napoleon
proceeded to Munich, where Josephine
awaited him. Having yanquished the an
cient empire, he felt entitled now to de-
mand royal alliances for the new empire,
and at Munich he began his imperial
matchmaking with the sovereign of Ba-
varia. Arranging the details of the match
with the speed of a military maneuyer,
he marched the couple to the altar at

the viceroy of Italy, was to be ne happy
