June day when the princes letter lay
in the post Office of Norfolk the last OF
the roses were 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

and glorious with freshness. Ihelr

were sharp cut against the brightness.
And through the light-pierced cave OF
shade a man travelled on horseback
from one plantation to another, man
who rode as Virginian rides, yet with
a military air for all that. He patted
the beasts neck with soothing word,
and smiled as Aquarelle plunged at the
waving of bough, at fox that ran
across the road. But if an observer
had been there he might have seen
that the mans thought was not with
horse or journey. Francois Beaupre,
riding out to give 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
Norfolk, was thinking OF the event to
come to which that letter called him.

smiled, looking at her.

CHAPTER xxx.
The Third Wish,

On the day when Francois in Lon
don read that letter Of Lucy Hamp-
tons which had awaited his return
from France, letter from Lucy
Hampton reached Alike at the chateau
of Vicque6. She carried 1t to Pietro's
room where he sat in deep chair at a
window which looked over Deles-
monies valley and the racing Cheulte
river, and the village strung on the
shores. His elbow on the stone win
dow-sill, his chin in his hand, he stared
at the familiar picture.
Alike, coming in without knocking
at the open door, stepped across and
stood by him, and he did not lift his
head, his listless eyes did not yet
shift their gaze from the broad land
scape. Alike, looking down at the
black head with its short curls set in
thick locks-after the manner Of the
curls of Praxiteles' Hermes-Was
startled to see many bright lines Of
gray through the dark mass. Was ev-
erybody getting old? Francois with
the broad band of white in his hair
and now Pietro-big little Pietro, who
had come to them and learned to ride
Coo and played with them. Was Pietro
getting old and gray?
By one of the sudden impulses char
acteristic of her, her hand flew out
and rested on the curled head as if to
protect it, motherly, from the whiten.

And Pietro turned slowly and looked
up at her with eyes full of hopeless
ness and alteration. Such look he
had never before given her; such a
| look no one could mistake except a
| woman who would not let herself un-
derstand. .

Now, how is all that compatible with
my JOY in marrying Harry? l don't
know how it is-but it is so. am a
wicked sinful person-but it is So"
The next time Lucy Hampton saw
Francois it was when, white-robed and
sweet in her enveloping mist of veil
she went up the chancel steps of the
little Virginia country church, and
looking up met smile that was a
benediction from the man whom she
had loved, who stood close now at the
side Of her lover, her husband.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Summoned.


On the morning Of May 9, 1S40. the
sun shone gaily in London. 1t filtered
I'm 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 BEN
head of young man who sat at 6
twriting-table. A lock of hair had es
capped on his forehead and the all
touched it, lifted it, as If to say: BE
hold the Napoleonic curl! See how he
lis like his uncle!"
But the pen ran busily, regardless Of
the garrulous breeze; there was much
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 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 minG
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 Frenchman
living in Virginia. AS soon as his let
ter was finished to his father-the pen
flew across the lines:
The sword of Austerlitz must moi
be in an enemy's hands," he wrote tc
his father. ut 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;
1T 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, anf
Nljudging, had given to Louis Phi!
Ape the arms of the emperor, to be
placed in the Invalides. Every mem
Der of the Bonaparte family was
aroused, and to the heir it was trum-
pet call. He could hardly wait to 60 to
France, to reclaim that insulted sword.
He wrote on, finished the letter to the
exiled king, his father, gloomy and
lonely old man whom the son did not
forget through years spent away from
him.
Then he drew out fresh sheet of
paper, and his faint smile cleaned;
for the thought Of this adherent in
Virginia was pleasant to him.
T, "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 if the words boiled to the
pen "The baton awaits you. Come.

months, and need you and your faith
An me. Our stars must shine togeth-
or to give full light. So, mon ami, join
me here at the earliest, that the en-
peror's words may come true.
