SYNOPSIS.

Francois Beaupre, a peasant babe of
three years, after an amusing incident in
which Marshal Ney figures, is made a
Chevalier of France by the Emperor Ma
poleon, in the home of the lads parents
in the village of Vicques, France, where
the emperor had briefly stopped to hold a
council of war. Napoleon pYophesied that
the boy might one day be a marshal of
France under another Bonaparte. At the
age OF ten Francois meets a stranger who
is astonished when the boy tells him of
his ambition. Francois visits General
Baron Gaspard Gourgaud, who with
Alike, his seven-year-old daughter. lives
at the Chateau. A soldier OF the Empire
under Napoleon he fires the boys mag
ination with stories of his campaigns.
The general offers Francois q home at
the Chateau. The boy refuse to leave his
parents, but in the end becomes a copy
ist for the general and learns OF the
friendship between the general and Mar
Quis Zappi who campaigned with the gem
eral under Napoleon. Marquis Zappi and
bis son. Pietro, arrive at the Chateau.
Quis's son while the former goes to
America. The Marquis before leaving for
America asks Francois to be a friend
of his son. The boy solennly promises.
Francois goes to the Chateau to live
Marquis Zappi dies leaving Pietro as a
ward OF the general. Alike, Pietro and
Francois meet a strange boy who proves
to be Prince Louis Napoleon Francois
saves his life. The general discovers
Francois loves Alike, and extracts a
promise from him that he will not inter-
fere between the girl and Pietro. Fran

But yes, your Majesty" Fritz an
swered with his face alight.
And so the packet sailed for Corfu,
and all day before the sailing the
servants of Hortense moved busily
between the palace and the boat, car
rying luggage and making arrange
ments. And only one or two knew
the secret that Prince Louis Bonaparte
had not sailed in the packet but lay
tossing with fever in little room
beyond his mothers, carried there for
greater privacy by Fritz and the doc
tor.
Two days later, as the Queen sat
quietly by her bsy's bedside. she heard
that the vanguard of the Austrians
had entered the city, and almost at
once Fritz came to tell her that the
palace in which she was staying had
been chosen for the residence of the
general commanding. The probability
OF this had not entered her mind: 1t

seemed the last straw. The Austrian
officer demanded the Queens own
chamber for his chief, but when the
stewards wife told him the name of
the lady who was in the rooms which
had not been given up, he bowed deep
ly and said not word. 1t was another
of that brotherhood scattered over Eu-
rope-the friends of Hortense; it was
an officer who had protected her years
before at Dijon.
So for week they lived side by
side with their enemies and only a
few feet lay between the Prince and
capture, for his room was next that
OF the Austrian general, with but a
double door between. 1t was a life
of momentary anxiety, for the Queen
feared each time the invalid spoke
that they might recognize mans
voice; when he coughed she turned
white. But at the end of the week
Louis was at last well enough to go.
He was to leave Ancona disguised as
one of his mothers lackeys, the young
Marquis Zappi was to put on another
livery, and over the frontier they were
both to change and be the sons OF
Hortense travelling on the English.

together. What can l do? What can
| do?" she demanded, and the doctor
stood gravely regarding her, helpless,
with all his devotion to the house of
Bonaparte, to suggest way out. "If
he stays he will be taken-they will
execute him. If he goes he will die
ON the way" she cried in an agony
OF indecision. Doctor, tell me, think
for me-how can save him?"
And the doctor still stood silent,
suffering with the impotent desire to
help her. Tiff only the Austrians
might think sthat the Prince were
gone," he stammered, and hated him
self for the futility of the words. But
the Queen stood with a hand half
lifted, arrested. Her blue eyes were
alive with the crossing and weaving
of swift ideas, and then with catch
of her breath she laughed at him
like pleased child. Doctor, you are
very clever man." she said. "To-
gether we are going to save the
Prince"
The vivacity Of the schoolgirl of
Madame de Campan flashed for mo-
ment into her manner, warmed to sud-
den life by the JOY of hope. The doc
tor waited, enchanted, bewildered, to
hear his cleverness explained, but Hor
tense did always the unexpected thing.
She shook her finger at him.
I'm not going to tell you," she said.
"At least not till I have to-not till
tomorrow at all events. But all today,
as you visit your patients you may
think that you are saving the Prince
from his enemies-and tomorrow you
may know how. Goodby, Doctor" and
puzzled and pleased, the physician
was gone.
Send Fritz to me-" the Queen or
dered. and moment later the young
man who was for years the confiden-
tial servant of Hortense, who knew
more of the history of her middle
years, perhaps, than any other, stood
before her. Fritz, when does packet
sail for Corfu?" she demanded.
Fritz Rickenbach considered it his
business to know everything. TO
night" your Majesty" he answered
unhesitatingly.
you will see that the luggage of
Prince Louis is on board, and that a
carriage is ready to take him there"
she ordered.
But yes, your Majesty" Fritz still
stood regarding her seriously 1T is
a great happiness to me, your Majesty,
that his Highness is we'll enough to
travel"
Fritz knew perfectly that there was
a complication somewhere, and he
wanted to know what it was. His
curiosity was patent, but his deep in
terest in the affairs of his people
could not be an impertinence, and the
Queen smiled at him.
"You shall know about it, Fritz"
she said THE Austrians are COM
ing. The Prince can not be moved.
If they take him, it means death. They
must believe that he is gone, and it
is for you and me to make them be-
lieve 1t, Fritz. You must get a pass
port signed by all of the authorities
that is easy today; you must engage
his place in the packet for tonight;
you must tell the seryants-tell every
one-that the Prince goes to Corfu,
and you must see that the proper lug
gage is on board. 1t will be known
