CHAPTER xxxIII.
The AecoIade at Last.

ne AcCotdoe AT Last.
It is common tragedy that men.
being human, cannot see all sides of
a question; that decision right in
one light may bring disaster in an
other. If events had stayed where he
left them, Francois Beaupre and Col
onel Couard and his regiment would
have won honor and eternal graft
tude from Louis Bonaparte for the
quarter of an, hours work which made
the arsenal theirs. Events, instead of
an unexpected sinister turn, not long
after Francois going.
The happy Prince, smiling the shad-
owy smile which made his face win
ming, stood in the center of triumphant
turmoil; his new followers, the men
of the forty-sixth, crowded about him
shouting, cheering, kissing his hands,
and the loyal fourth artillerymen fra
ternized. EMBRACED, congratulated the
men of the line regiment The narrow
courtyard was a hubbub of rapturous
excitement, and the Princes officers
Montholon, Vaudrey, Voisin, Parquin,
D'Hunin, Querelles-these and others
whose names Frenchmen knew, sur
rounded the small figure which yet
had so much of royalty, and laughed
and chatted light-heartedly. In few
moments, when Colonel Laity's engi-
neers and the third a2illery should
have arrived the Prince would have
five thousand men under his COM
mand. The great game was practical
ly won-Prince Louis was all but EN-
peror.
Suddenly, above the sea of sound, a
commotion was heard at the farther
end of the barrack yard. The colonel
of the forty-sixth. Colonel Talandier,
had arrived. Very loyal to Louis Phil
lipe, very angry at the scene before
him, he would not believe the news.
He called excitedly, and the mems
voices died down as they saw him
gesticulating-
Soldiers" he cried, you are de-
ceived, This man for whom you are
shouting is an adventurer. an inn
postor."
In the shock of silence which fol-
lowed his words, another voice rang
out, clear and indignant, the voice of
a staf-oficer whom they all knew.
TT is not the nephew of the EN-
peror. 1t is the nephew of Colonel
vaudrey, I recognize him!" the Off
Ger cried in p strong staccato. and a
gasp as if ice-water had been scat
tered went through the crowded
place.
There is nothing more absurd in his
tory than the instant effect of this
quick-witted lie. Only with a mer-
curfal French mob. perhaps, could it
have succeeded but 1t succeeded here

mems hearts beat fast to meet it.

CHAPTER xxxI.-continued.


Prince Louis saw the dawning OF
CONSERVATION. Rapidly he considered.
Was it well to take away a mans hap
piness and courage just before fight?
He remembered some words of Fran
co.'s spoken three years before, words
whose dramatic baroness had struck
him. when a knight of the old time
went into battle,' the young man had
said, ''he wore on his helmet the badge
of his lady, and the thought of her in
his heart. A man fights better So"
Very well. This blind knight should
have his letter, with the meaning he
had read into it, for his lady's badge,
and he should fight tomorrow with the
thought of her in his heart. The let
ter suggested another meaning to So
phisticated Louis Bonaparte, but there
is no need to hasten the feet of I'M
happiness. The resonant French voice
spoke at last in an unused accent of
cordially and the Prince lied. with
ungrudging graciousness.
Mistaken, my Francoisi Not at all
The little billet-doux breathes love for
you in each line-there is no question:
But, mon ami, you have not finished
your story" So Francois explained
about the letter left with Lucy Hamp-
ton and it's premature sending THAT
has reached her now-she knows now
that love her, she knows what has
really been my lifelong wish-she has
hurried this" and his hand crushed
the note tenderly-"she has hurried
this to me before the fight-that
might know her love also-that
might fight better for you, my Prince
-Louis-with that Joy in my heart"
Prince Louis, his head thrown back,
his expressionless eyes watching the
rings of smoke which he pulled from
his mouth-ring after ring, mounting
in dream-like procession to the low
ceiling. considered again. Somewhere
in the chain of events of this love
affair his keen practical sense felt a
link that did not fit-a link forced into
connection. Vaguely he discerned how
it was-something had happened to
the yirginian letter-there had been
a confusion somewhere. To him the
four words of Alixe's postscript were
final Pietro sends his love" A sub
conscious reasoning made him certain
that Pietro would not have come into
such letter If it had been indeed a
ilove-letter; that the three lines of
writing just before the battle could
mot have held another mans name, if
they had been written to the man
whom she loved. Very dimly, very
surely the Prince concluded these
things; and then he lowered his cigar.
and his gray dull eyes came down
from the ceiling and rested, kindly on
the radiant face. You are right. nv
friend 1t was an exquisite thought of
your lady-love to put this other weap-
ON, this bright sword of happiness into
your hand, to fight with tomorrow
Mon Dieu. we will reward her by send
ing her back a Marshars baton by
you; Marshai's baton tomorrow.
Francois! How would it sound, par
example, to say Madame la Mare

The light from Francois eyes was
like a lamp

great things. but of them that one
