 The monarchs. therefore, taking mat ters in their own untrained hands, deter mined to move at once. Soon the allies came upon French outposts along the Brunn road, but these fled before them and left the way open to Austerlitz, where the two Emperors found a pleas ant chateau for their headquarters. As the French retreated, the more eager spr- it's among the Russians grew fearful that the enemy would continue to refuse battle and finally make good his escape
 Nevertheless the allies went oh with their preparations for cutting off the French the next day and at midnight council an Austrian general stood up and confidently shouted out the plan of battle, while old General Kutusof. the Russian commander, forgot in 3 sound sleep his disgust with the campaign that had been forced upon him. pune tuating. with his deep snores the loudly delivered orders of the Aus trian.

 After a brief sleep in the evening the Emperor rose to take one more view of his own lines and those of his foe. As he walked past his silent army, one of his escorts lighted his way with a torch. The sentries seeing his face in the flickering glare raised cry of ''vive lEmpreur' which ran through the camp and reused the sleeping soldiers from their dreams of la Belle France. As they struggled to their feet and ssook them selves awake, they pulled the tsraw from their beds on the frozen ground and lighting it. tens of thousands of torches soon were flaring in the inky blackness of the night while the thun- derous cheers of the grand army rolled among the hills.

The Fugitive Emperors

The vanquished Emperors, with the fragments of their army. were wander ing off In the direction of Hungary, but the Austrian monarch had left behind an envoy to sue for peace. This was the same Prince Lichtenstein whom General Melas hnd appointed his commissioner tc Napoleon after the battle of Marengo and through the night the prince searched for the victor of Austerlitz. whom he found only at dawn in q miserable road side tavern. He arranged a meeting of the two Empcrors beside an old windmill whither the 'Moravian farmers. in their big boots and big caps still take grain to be ground.
 There Napoleon looked upon an heredi- tary Emperor for the first time. T re- ceive you" he said to Francis, as he pointed to his bivouac, fin the only pal ace which you have permitted me to occupy the past two months" And Tram cis happily replied: You have made auch

as he passed Soult he leaned over and stretching out his arm to embrace him, exclaimed. My dear marshal, you are the best tactician in Europe!"
 The Blow on the Heart
 The firing line of the allies was flung out seven miles in length when, not far from noon, Napoleon began to make a deadly lunge at the enemy's weakened heart, the denuded center. The shock of the onset fell upon picturesque little vil- lage along the line of the railroad that now crosses the battlefield on it's way from Brunn toward Hungary. There Prince Murat and Marshal Bernadotte faced the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia and there the flower of the mar tial youth of three empires fought.
 The Imperial Guard of France, the Noble Guard of Russia and the Chevalier Guards of Austria rolled back and forth over the field in the murderous fury of hand-to-hand combat French guards man. shrieking as he savagely ran his saber through young Russian guards man, We will give the ladies of St. Petersburg something to cry for" After horrible sacrifices the remnant of the Noble and the Chevalier Guards fled be- fore the Gallic fury and Murat raced up to the very gate of Austerltz.
 As the Grand Duke Constantine took flight from the lost field a Mameluke pur- sued him so hotly that the Grand Duke had to turn to beat him off. Only when a shot from Constantine had felled the horse of his pursuer, could he make good his escape.
 In the front ranks of the retreating sol- diers, two men spurred their horses over a ditch, one wearing a white feather. the other white uniform. They were the defeated emperors. The Czar, who a few hours before was rosy with youth and confidence, now was pale hollow checked and sunken eyed: but Francis, who had been beaten so often by Ma poleon, better concealed his agony
 The fatal blow had been delivered and had left an ugly gap three miles wide be- tween the right and the left wings of the allies. The army of the two Emperors was hopelessly cut in two.
 Napoleon seated on "Morange." be- side a little white chapel that still looks out upon the battle ground from a fir crowned night, was viewing the havoc he had wrought when General Rapp dashed up, dripping with blood. a Russian Prince as his prisoner and his escort bearing aloft many captured flags. The Name luke, baffled of his grand ducal prey. came at the same time to explain his failure to catch Constantine and bring his head to the Emperor. while a wounded chasseur Bearing Russian standard presented himself and proudly stood at attention for a moment before falling dead at Napo- Icons feet. The Emperor ordered Gerard, the celebrated artist to be certain to fn- clude the chasseur and the Mameluke as well as Rapp in his famous picture of that moment of triumph.

Batting the Tran

Napoleon not only named the battle to please his fancy, but he also chose the battle ground and even the battle day. He had been away from Paris hardly more than eight weeks when he first looked upon the field Of Austerlitz In those eight weeks he had destroyed an Austrian army of S0,0o0 on the Danube without a battle, taken Vienna, the cap ital Of the Hapsburgs, without firing a shot, and had marches into Moravia to meet another army of S5.000 Austrians and Russians which was accompanied by the Emperor Francis of Austria and the Car Alexander
 Arrived at Brunn, the Moravian capi- tai. which lies at the foot of a castled hill 90 miles north of Vienna, the heir of the revolution loudly clamored for peace to my brother" the heir of Charles V, and my brother" the heir of Peter the Great. who were at the camp of the allied army at oimutz, some 50 miles north and near the Russian from tier. His appeals, as he shrewdly intend ed, were mistaken for craven confess sion of weakness and fe> and only served to embolden the imperial allies to give him battle. then and there, the very thing he was seeking.
 For above all he did not wish to chase the enemy any farther He was already 1000 miles from home with 5000 Russians and Austrians in front of him. S0,0oo Austrians behind him and with 150,- 600 Prussians and Saxons marshaled and ready to join the alliance against him. He must have battle at once and win crushing victory or fall back.
 When he saw the welcome signs that his two "brothers.' Alexander and Fran cis, were sufficiently fattered ein their conceit that they had caught him in a desperate plight and saw them preparing to smite him. he gallopee out on the road to Olmutz for the purpose of getting the lay of the land between him ard the enemy Pausing at point dozen miles to the east of Brunn. ne studied the scene In silence for sometime.

Austerltz and the sun of Austerlitz, for example, are known to every school boy in the western hemisphere. They spell success the world round, just as Waterloo is synonymous with defeat. Yet the nearer Austerlitz is approached, the more obsurce 1t becomes It is not even dot on the official railway map of Aus tria
 At Brunn, in whose Austrian castle Silvio Pellico. the Italian patriot-pris- oner, wrote his sad and moving tale
 My Prisons" and where Napoleon S army made its headquarters in the open ing winter of 1895. the guide books and the hotel people, with all their volubility about the surrounding attractions and nelghboring excursions are dumb con cerning Austerltz, 15 miles away. And even the 3500 inhabitants of the village itself have to think twice before they can call to mind the name by which their little town is celebrated on the pages of history. For they are mostly Slavs who speak the Czerch or Bohemian tongue, and they call their place Slav- kova. Thus the shining name of Aus terlitz, which is dinner at Vienna than it is at San Francisco, vanishes quite at the gates of the town.
 Not only is Austerlitz not Austerlitz but there never was battle of Auster- litz. For not a voliey was fired within the limits of the town Two Emperors rode out of the village one December morning to wrestle with a third Elm peror in front of Austerltz. But they did not fight in the town or for the town. It better suited Napoleon, how ever, to emphasize his victory by nam ing the battle for the village in which the two defeated Emporors had made their headauarters and to write his bull letin in the very room from which he drove them forth in the snow of win ters night.
