CHAPTER XXI.
The Might Before,


Out in the dark, in the harbor Of
Boulogne, the ship Edinburgh Castle
lay rocking in the wind. Prince Louis
Bonaparte, who had chartered her, and
the handful of his followers who had
sailed with him on her from England
had disembarked quietly at twilight,
and in small companies had succeeded
in entering the town and the quarters
of the officers who were, in France,
the nucleus and the hope of their at
tempt. In the rooms Of Lieutenant
AladeniZe, the host of the Prince, a
short council had been held to go over
once more the plans which had been
discussed and settled by letter for
weeks already. The work was care
fully arranged; there was almost moth
ing to be changed, and the little COM
pany Of men who were trying so large
a fate, scattered, with grave faces,
with quiet good nights to the Prince
who might tomorrow be their EN-
peror, to the Prince for whose sake
they might tomorrow night be any or
all ruined men or dead men.
He sat erect and listened. Thelin
was brushing clothes with energy in
the bedroom, and through another door
there came a light sound of a paper
turned, of gay song sung softly. And
a glow suddenly warmed the Princes
heart; here was some one who had
known his mother, who, had been, in
deed, for a few days her son; here
was some one who cared for him, he
believed it, with a half-consuming
fame Of devotion. Since the mans
arrival from Virginia six weeks before
to have him near himself had been q
pleasure to Louis Bonaparte; he
seemed to bring back the freshness
of his early days, Of the young conf

wished always was that should-love

cois," she added serenely.
And Pietro's response to that was
apt, but not to be given here. The
minds of these two happy lovers were
full of that third who had been so
close always, to each of them.
"Pietro," Alike spoke earnestly, COM

shook his head.

Pietro, my father believes, and be.

that he has his opportunity he may
yet be one of the great characters in
history. My father says he is made

And Alike echoed it-"God keep him
safe!" And then, II am going to write

that what he has wished for all his

Pietro asked doubtfully.

ART OF TREE SCULPTURE
Old English Custom That Called for
the Cutting Of Fantastic
Shapes.

Very many years ago it was the
fashion Of England and on the con-
tinent to have great gardens of ever
green trees trimmed and clipped into
curious and fantastic shapes. To such
an extent did the craze develop that
these gardens were filed with crouch
ing lions, pigs and even hens and
chickens, all laboriously sculptured
from living green and kept in trim
by constant use of the knife and the
shears.
A few Of these gardens were es-
tablished in this country and one still
remains in perfect condition. It Is
located on the famous Hunnewell es-
tate at Wellesley, Mass, and is Wis
tied by people from all over the
world. The garden is on the side OF
terraced hill dropping away to a
beautiful little lake.
Evergreens of many kinds are to be
found there and each summer force
Of workmen with long ladders care

order to preserve the strange shapes
which have been developed with the
utmost patience. Popular Electricity.

CHAPTER Xxx.
The Third Wish.

On the day when Francois in Lon
don read that letter Of Lucy Hamp-
toms which had awaited his return
from France, letter from Lucy
Hampton reached Alike at the chateau
of Vicques. She carried it to Pietro's
room where he sat in deep chair at a
window which looked over Deles-
montes 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.

tical prince had superstition that his
luck went with him in the person OF
the Chevalier Beaupre.
II was all as 1t should be; he was
entirely happy. He had asked three
wishes of the good fairies, as he had
said long ago; that the prince should
be emperor-that he might become "a
marshal of France under another Bona
parte"-that Alike should love him.
The first two he believed about to be
realized. The last? 1t was not now
the time to think Of that. Alike had
kissed him good-by. That would more
than do till the fight was over So he
sped back to London, missing Pietro,
but hopeful and buoyant. And in Lon
don there was a letter for him from
Virginia.
Dear Francois" Lucy began. ITO
think that the first letter sent to you
by Harry's wife should be to tell you
that she has betrayed your trust in
her. / am distressed beyond words,
for | have made a mistake which may
mean distress to you. You remember
the letter to Alike which you trusted
to me to send in case anything should
happen to you? l had it in my hand

Europe which my father had command
ed me to send by the next packet And

ried down and gave the parcel to Sam
bo, who was waiting to ride to Nor
folk with them. And then Harry and

Brandon for three days, and 1t was
only when l came back that discov-
cred the dreadful mistake had made.
Can you ever forgive me? Harry and
thought over every possibility of stop
ping it, but there seemed to be no
chance. Are you very angry with me,
dear friend of Harry's and of mine?"
The letter went on with reproaches
and regrets and finally slipped into
tale of new happy life which Fran
co.'s had made possible for the two
He read it over several times. His
letter to Alike, which should have been
sent only after his death, had gone to
her. What then? She would know
that he loved her; that he had loved
her always; that he would love her
forever; that the one wish Of his life
had been that she should love himself
not Pietro. He had said that In the
letter; that was all. He was glad that
she should know, though he would
never have told her in life. 1t was
done and he would find out now If
Pietro indeed cared for her, if she
cared for Pietro. And If not, then one
had waited long enough; then at last
the JOY of the thought choked him.
A knock came at the door Of the
room in the London lodging where he
sat with Lucy Hampton's letter before
him. Fritz Rickenbach stood there;
his highness would like to see the
chevalier. All personal thoughts were
locked swiftly into the drawer with
Lucy's letter and "the princes bright
shadow" went to the prince.
