CHAPTER xxvilI.
Summoned.

On the morning of May 8, 1910, the
sun shone gaily in London. 1t filtered
in intricate patterns through the cur
tains which shaded the upper windows
OF house in Carlton gardens, and the
breeze lifted the lace, and sunlight
and breeze together touched the bent
head of a young man who sat at a
writing-table. A lock of hair had es-
capped on his forehead and the air
touched it, lifted it, as If to say: BE
hold the Napoleonic curl! See how he
is like his uncle!"
But the pen ran busily, regardless OF
the garrulous breeze; there was much
to do for a Woodworking prince who
found time to be the hero Of ball
rooms, the center of London season,
and yet could manipulate his agents
throughout the garrisons of France,
and plan and execute a revolution. II
was the year when the body Of Napole-
on the First was brought from St.
Helena to Paris, and Louis Bonaparte
had resolved, In that steady mind
which never lost its grip on the reason
of being OF his existence, that with
the ashes Of the emperor his family
should come back to France. For
months the network had been spread,
was tightening, and now the memory
which held it's friendships securely al
| ways, took thought OF a Frenchman
living in Virginia. AS soon as his let
ter was finished to his father-the pen

The sword OF Austerlitz must not
be in an enemy's hands," he wrote to
his father. at must stay where 1t
may again be lifted in the day of dan
ger for the glory OF France" His let
tiers were apt to be slightly oratorical;
Il was moreover the fashion of the day
to write so.
He raised his head and stared into
the street 1t was enough to decide
his expedition for this summer that
General Bertrand, well-meaning, and
ill-judging, had given to Louis Phil

placed In the Invalides. Every men,
Der of the Bonaparte family was
aroused, and to the heir It was trum-
pet call. He could hardly wait to go to
France, TO reclaim that insulted sword.
He wrote on, finished the letter to the
exiled king, his father, a gloomy and
lonely old man whom the son did not
forget through years spent away from
him.
Then he drew out a fresh sheet OF
paper and his faint smile cleaned;
| for the thought OF this adherent IN
Virginia was pleasant to him.
"Chevalier Francois Beaupre," he
headed the letter, and began below,
"My friend and Marshal of Some Day."
He considered a moment and wrote
quickly as II the words boiled TO the

with as worldly-wise an expression as

manner. Moreover, Mademo4selle

II wonder if do not know-what II

Eagerly Francois caught at her
words. May tell you Alike, Alixe?"
No" Alike spoke quickly. mo, let

catching his breath, tried to take the
word from her. but she stopped him.
No, must-tell it. You have wished
all your life'-Alixe was breathing
rather fast-"that-I should care for
Pietro"
A cold chill at hearing that thing
said in that voice seized him. Very
still his eyes down, he did not speak.

warn US off the pleasant grass which

things disagreeable at the psyche
logical moment, save our souls alive
for right things to come. Some such
crosswise heavenly messenger gripped
the mind of Alike, and she said what
she hated herself for saying, and saw
the quick result in the downcast
misery of poor Francois face. And
| then the same cruel, wise angel turned
his attention to Francois. IF she

perverse one. Let 1t go at that; say

And Francois lifted mournful eyes
and repeated, THAT you should love

wished for all my life.

to meet him, delighted, pitiless. De-
lighted with the work he had done,
with his daring and tinesse and sue
cess, without pity for his weakness,
begging him to go at once on another
mission. The general was firm as to
that; his boy should not be bounded;
he should stay at home in the quiet old
chateau and get well. But the boy
was restless; a fever Of enthusiasm
was on him and he wanted to do more
and yet more for the princes work
At this point two things happened:
Pietro came from London, and Fran
co.'s, on the point OF leaving for anoth-
er secret errand, broke down and was
Ill. He lay in his bed in his room at
the farmhouse, the low upper chamber
looking out-through wide-open case
ment windows, their old loaded little
panes Of glass glittering from every
uneven angle-looking out at broad
fields and bouquets of chestnut trees,
and far off, five miles away, at the
high red roofs of the chateau Of Vic
ques. And gazing so, he saw Pietro on
old Capitaine. turn from the shady ave
nue. of the chestnuts and ride slowly
to the house. With that he heard his
mother greeting Pietro below in the
great kitchen, then the two voices
the deep one and the soft one-talkng,
talking, a long time. What could his
mother and Pietro have to talk about
so long? And then Pietro's step was
coming up the narrow stair, and he
was there, in the room.
Francois" Pietro began in his d.
rect fashion, 81 think you must go
back to Virginia"
Francois regarded him with startled
eyes, saying nothing. There was a
thought of yet another parting.
Pietro went out. IL have a letter
from Harry Hampton. The place needs
you; the people want you; and Harry
and Miss Hampton say they will not be
married unless you come to be best
man at the wedding" Francois smiled.
Pietro went on again. Moreover, boy,
Francois-you are not doing well here.
You are too useful; they want to use
you constantly and you are ready; but
you are not At. You must get away
| for another year or two. Then you
win be well and perhaps by then the
prince will have real work for you.
And you must have strength for that
time. Your mother says / am right"
With that his mother stood in the
doorway, regarding him with her calm
eyes, and nodded to Pietro's words. So
it came about that Francois went back
shortly to Virginia.
On the day before he went he sat in
the garden OF the chateau with Alike,
on the stone seat by the sun-dial where
they had sat years before when the
hand, in that unbrotherly way which
had so surprised him.
Alike" said Francois, 81 am going
to the end of the world"
Not for the first time," Alike an
swered cheerfully.
| Perhaps for the last" Francois
threw back dramatically. 1t is hard
to have ones best-beloved discount
ones tragedies. And Alike laughed
and lifted long stem Of a spring flow
err which she held in her hand, and
brushed his forehead delicately with
the distant tip OF 1t.

LOUIS BONAPARTE."
Across the water, in Virginia, two
years had made few changes. On the
June day when the princes letter lay
in the post Office of Norfolk the last OF
the roses we're showing pink and red
over the gardens In a sudden breeze.
The leaves OF the trees that arched the
road that led TO Roanoke house were
sappy green, just lately fully spread,
and glorious with freshness. Their
shadows, dancing on the white pike.
were sharp cut against the brightness.
And through the light-pierced cave OF
shade a man travelled on horseback
from one plantation to another. a man
who rode az q Virginian rides. yet with
a military air for all that. He patted
the beasts neck with a soothing word.
and smiled as Aquarelle plunged at the
waving of a bough, at fox that ran
across the road. But II an observer
had been there he might have seen
that the mans thought was not with

riding out to give a French lesson to
Miss Hampton at Roanoke house. as
he had been doing for four years, all
unconscious as he was of the letter
awaiting for him at the moment In

come to which that letter called him.

81 have seen to 1t, father. They will
be ready in week." Lucy answered.
Then the colonel noticed Francois.
Good day, chevalier," he spoke con-
descendingly. ABBY the way"-he
put hand into one pocket and then
another OF his linen coat. They gave
me letter for you, chevalier knowing
that you would be at Roanoke house
today. Here 1t is"-and Lucy saw a
light leap into Francois eyes as they
fell on the English postmark.
And Lucy spoke quietly again. u

your letter. see 1t is foreign one"
Twill mademoiselle pardon?"
At that moment an uneven step
came down the slope and Francois
flashed a smile at Harry Hampton and
retreated to the other side of the sum
mer-house with his letter; while the
colonel, murmuring complaints about
harnesses, went strolling up the
shadowy, bird-haunted lawn.
Harry Hampton stood by his sweet
heart with boyish air of proprietor

these two years of his engagement. u

want to see it?"

Francois. But the lad caught her
waist. Look" he said, and opened
his free hand and a plain gold ring
glittered from 1t. With a quick move
ment he slipped it over the little third
finger. There" he said, that will be
on to stay pretty soon, and then Uncle
Henry shall not badger you about har.
nesses. He has made me wait two
years because he needed you, but l
won't wait much longer, will |, Lucy?
Next Wednesday-that is the wedding
day, Lucy"
With that Francois turned around.
His face shone with an excitement
