CHAPTER ~.
Coming to His Own.

Six years ago, before Waterloo, Ma
poleon had given the new chateau of
Vicques and its lands to general the
Baron Gaspard Gourgaud, whom he
had before then fashioned into a very
good pattern of a soldier out of mate
rial left over from the old aristocracy
Vicques lay in the Valley Delesmontes
of the mountains'-a league from
the little city Delesmontes, whose six
thousand inhabitants constituted it the
chief city of this valley of the Jura.
Over Vicques hung the mountain
called LIE Rose, behind LIE Rose doomed
that greater mountain called LIE Raj
meu; hack of LIE Raimeu rolled the
Jura range.
The Baron-GeneraI Gourgaud, taking
possession of the chateau in this
month of July, thought it lucky he had
not seen this domain of his before,
else the vision would have turned his
heart from his duty. After a full career
almost in boyhood-for the Cross of
the Legion of Honor had come to him
at twenty-four-afte service in the
Spanish and Austrian campaigns and
diplomatic missions; after saving the
emperor's life at Moscow; after Water
loo, Napoleon had chosen him as one
Of three officers to go with him to St
Helena The chateau and estate of
Vicques had been given to him by the
emperor after that brave and lucky
moment at Moscow when, the first
man to enter the Kremlin, he had
snatched the match from a mass of
gunpowder which would a moment
later have blown up both officers and
emperor.
Ten years before he had married:
four years after that his wife had died,
and the daughter she left was now a
girl of seven, a fairy type of girl.
You are perfect "a every way but
one. Alike" he said. as he swung her

CHAPTER ~.
The Stranger.


On an afternoon in July in the year
OF 1920, Francois, being ten years old
and dreamer, came alone through
the gate and sat down with his short
legs dangling over an ancient wall
fifteen feet sheer down. He sat there,
quite comfortable and secure, and
kicked his heels, and thought of his
brilliant future, and also of the story
or the great dog and the treasure. The
tradition ran that ages back, in the
time of Caesar. fifty years after Christ
a Roman governor in this Gallo prov
lnce had built formidable castle on
TINS hill outside the village. The castle
had great granaries to hold the grain
which the governor tortured from the
peasants and sent to Rome to sell So
he grew rich by oppression, and the
gold wrung from the people he piled in
cellars deep in his castle. When it
came to be a great amount he sent far
to the north and got a huge dog, and
this dog he trained to a terrible fierce
ness, SO that anyone coming near in
the long underground corridors where
he guarded the treasure was sure to
be torn in pieces, except always the
governor
For years things went on in this
way, the governor grinding the peas
ants, and the giant dog guarding him
and his treasure, till at last there came
a thunderbolt-the governor was sent
for to come to Rome to give an &C
count of the riches which he had kept
from the emperor He had to go. but
he left the dog in charge, and the night
after he was gone the peasantry gath
cred and set fire to the chateau and
cd To
and the treasure were buried in it.
and there they are to this day. The
people of Vicques believe that if a
man will go to dig that treasure and
will stay till midnight, that at twelve
exactly a colossal dog will rise from
the ruined stones and come, breathing
Hames; in his month will be the key
OF the treasure-vault, and back of him
will stand the ghost of the Roman gov
ernor wrapped in white, his face COW
cred. And if the man will be bold
enough to take the key from the fam
ing mouth, then dog and governor will
vanish in clap of thunder, and in
front of the daring one will rise the
door OF the treasure-vault, and he may
turn the key and go in and help him.
SELF
Francois considered. and, feeling no
fear in his soul, decided that he was
the man destined to take the key out |
Of the dogs mouth and get the treas |
lre, which he would at once transfer
intact to his mother. He had no need |
Tor treasure; there were things more |
important 1t was for him to become |
a marshal of France. Napoleon had |

every one kindly; he accepted with
simplicity, if with slight surprise. the
generals speech.
