Here I Aml"

Here l Amv
 In the heart of Dauphiny, the imposing little city of Grenoble, which gloves the hands of France and millions of other hands besides, sits by the bending River Isere, gazing up at the Alps, whose snowy spurs seem to rise at the end of every street. This was the first place of any size or importance on the line of march and Napoleon could not have but won- dered how fortune would greet him at the gate of Grenoble. But the prankish goddess could not wait for him at the gate. In her eagerness to play one of her most extraordinary pranks she went forth to greet him when he was 15 miles away, near the village of Laffrey.
 Laffrey itself is mere cluster of little stone cottages that seem to have rolled like powders from the lowered hillsides down into the narrow ravine through which the high road makes it's way. On the churchyard wall a tablet records the words with which in breath Napoleon overturned the Bourbon throne.
 While he was yet a mile away from the village and was riding along the ravine road, with the white mantle of the Grande Chartreuse looming before him, he saw battalion of infantry from Gren- oble blocking his way. There at last the lilies confronted the bees. and the Elm peror saw that the hour had struck for
 
 or lose 1t all.
 First of all, he ordered his own men to reverse their bayonets, with the point in the mouth of tho barrel, and to carry their muskets under their left arms. Then he sent one of his aides galloping ahead to announce to the battalion that he him. self was coming and to point him out. to the soldiers as he appeared. When the aide was within hailing distance of the troops marshaled under the Bourbon ban ner, he cried out that the Emperor was coming and. with his sword, he pointed toward the little man in the gray coat and three-cornered hat, who was ad- vancing afoot and alone along the road.
 There he is! Fire!'' cried Bourbon captain. But the soldiers. with bayonets drawn. stood as In a tableau while Ma poleon boldly walked up to them. When he was but few paces from them the familiar tones of his voice rang out upon the tense silence, as he cried:
 Soldiers! I am your Emperor! Do you not recognize meT'
 Yes! Yes! Yes' hundreds of voices responded with a fervent shout.
 Unbuttoning his gray coat. he offered his breast to their muskets and chal- lenged them: If there is one among you who would shoot his general, here amp

Marching on Paris


 Camp was broken at midnight and some time afterward the Emperor mounted hi horse and leaving the little village sleeping in the dark shadow of Mont Chavelier, he rode on in the night up tht 1oOO-foot slope to Grasse, that ,butterfl, town which draws it's sustenance iron the perfume flowers that cover its hill sides.
 Day was peeping over the Alpine heights when the imperial wayfarer came to Grasse. But he chose not to halt there and passed by to eat his breakfast in g field above the town, where. enthroned or pile of knapsacks, he drank his coffee and munched his bread.
 Three expresses mark the scene of thai imperial dejeuner, the scene of thai dawning of the hundred days. Nature could hardly set a prettier table than ir that grassy meadow by the three slen- der, graceful trees. A beautiful cascade purls its headlong way over the brow ot sheer cliff. while far below, the old cathedral of Grasse lifts it's grizzled tower and a lovely blooming vale opens a vista clear to the Gulf Juan. \ The reception of the rturned monarch thus far had been only coldly civil. Tho people living on and near the coast had viewed afar the glory of his military campaigns, but they had not been wit nesses to an yof his victories. On tho neeses to any of his victories his reign chiefly as an era when their harbors were sealed, and when they could not look across their watery frontier with out beholding British sea wolf prowl ing along the horizon.
 Napoleon did not deceive himself. He knew that the people as whole did not want him back any more than they wished him to stay when they hooted him out of the province, less than year before. It was in his dis trust of the popular temper that he had chosen to begin his march on Paris by narrow path through the wild and sparsely populated mountains rather than by the broad highway up the populous valley of the Rhone. He would rather contend with the hazards offered by nature than with human obstacles
 But as the Emperor looked up at the Bases Apes. which rose before him in his chosen pathway to the throne. he forcsaw the difficulty of dragging his artillery over those heights and he or dered that 1t be abandoned. There were only four cannon all told and he knew that their little whiff of grapeshot would not conquer Paris foA him this time Not those four cannon, but the three-cornered hat and the old gray coat must be relied on to break the ranks and silence the battery of the army of 1S0,000 men, sworn to defend Louis XVIII on the throne of his fathers.
 When he left Grasse. therefore, it was to enter upon hardly more than a goat path, along which he hastened his little band In single file througt, snow and ice and in peril of frightful abysses. He found 1t too cold to ride. but when he dismounted and went on afoot it was only to stumble and fall.
 That night the imperial bed was only a bundle of straw in a wretched, soil tary cottage near the village of Ser anon. The next day the march was by the Chateau of Castellaue to Ba-

Yet those who look upon all human his- tory as the prosaic stsry of one long struggle for bread and butter have some warrant for contending that in escaping from the island, in marching on Paris, in retaining the crown of France and in fighting the battle of Waterloo, he was not inspired by love of country or glory hut was impelled by the fear of hunger and poverty. And what better authority need they cite than the British commis- sioner. Col. Neil Campbell, who was set to watch the exile? In a letter to hls government three months before the flight. Colonel Campbell expressed the opinion that the Emperor would content edly pass the rest of his life in the is- land if he received his pension, but that if he was left without an income he would probably take his troops and cross over to the mainland

In the Path of Napoleon 100 Years After His Doonfa

The audacity of Napoleon's return from Elba. his conquest of the french army by the magic of his presence, his recapture of the crown wlthout firing a shot, his restoration to the throne in less than year after the allied nations had driven him from It, form a chapter in which history puts fiction to the blush.
 This is MT. Morgan's story today, told in the light of recent visit to Elba, to the shore where Napoleon landed, and to the beautiful mountains of Dauphiny, through which he led his little band.
