siege Of IOulon, you opened the gates of Grenoble Co him when he came back from Elba Soldiers, the honor of beginning a new empire shall be yours; yours shall be the honor of sa- luting first the eagle of Austerlitz and Wagram" He caught the standard from an officer and held it high. "It is the sign of French glory; 1t has shone over every battlefield; 1t has passed through every capitol of Eur ope Soldiers, rally to the eaglel trust it to you've will march today against the oppressors, crying Long live France.
 One who has not heard a regiment gone mad can not know how it was. With deafening chatter and roar every sword was drawn and the shakes flew aloft and again and again and again the mems deep voices sent up in bro ken magnificent chorus the great his toric cry to which armies had gone into battle
 ''Vive rEmpereur! Vive Napoleonl" The souls of a thousand men were on fire with memories and traditions, a cause. and as if the spell of the name grew stronger with its repetition they shouted over and over, in tremendous unison, over and over and over.
 "Vive Napoleoni Vive IEmpereuri" It was necessary at last for the quiet slender young man who was the storm-center to raise his hand again, and with a word. with the glimmer of a smile to speak his gratitude to stop the storm There was much to be done The fourth artillery was but one of several regiments to be gained l if the victory were to be complete. Colonel Lombard was dispatched to a | printing office with proclamations to be struck off Lieutenant Laity hur- ried away to his battalion; a detach- ment was sent to hold the telegraph office; the tumult once quieted. the ! yard was a scene of efficient business. | for all this had been planned and each officer knew his work In a very few | moments the officers of the third ar tillery who were with the Prince had | hastened to their quarters, another had | been sent to arouse the forty-sixth of the line, at the Place d' Alton bar racks, and shortly Prince Louis him self was on his way to the same place Through the streets of the city. no longer empty, he passed with his off, cers, and the people poured from their houses, and joined and answered the shouts of the soldiers
 "Vive lEmpereHr!" the soldiers cried. Tt is the nephew of Napoleon, 2" and the citizens threw back 'Vive 1 l'Empereur! It is the son of the hon est king of Holland! It is the grand son of Josephine!"
 They pressed so close about the small figure in its Swiss uniform of a colonel that for a moment he was sep | arated from his officers. and Colonel Vaudrey. smiling for all his military discipline was forced to order his mounted artillerymen to clear the road Every moment an old soldier broke out of the mass and embraced the eagle which Lieutenant de Quer- elles carried proudly high above all this emotion; the soldiers eyes flash. ed with success; the Princes heart beat high for joy to know that he had not misread the heart of army or peo- pie. When the column passed the gen darmerie the guard turned out and presented arms, shouting, Long live the Emperor" So he went through the streets of BOulogne, Louis Napo- leon Bonaparte eight long years be. fore he came Co his own, and march. ed in triumph and exclamation to a failure.
 And close by his side, his look as radiant as the Princes look was con tRined and impassive marched always Francois Beaupre. The hard-earned military knowledge, the patient toll of preparation had come into play, and in a hundred ways the man had been useful With no exact rank as yet, but ready at any moment, eager for the hardest task, never asking for rest. quick-witted. resourceful. officers as well as Prince had developed @ habit of turning to Beaupre for sery- ice after service. And always they were met with a glad consent which encouraged them to ask more until the Prince said:
 "It is the case of the willing horse; I will not permit that my rlght-hand man be worked to death-it must stop"
 Today, however, Francois had a definite duty of responsibility While the Prince marched, gathering strength at every yard through the town toward the Place d' Alton at its farther side, Colonel Couard or the third artillery had gone to proclaim the great news to his regiment and to hold them ready. In case of success at the Place d Alton Beaupre was to go back and bring them to join the Prince In case of failure they were to be his reserve. The Place d Alton barracks lay between town and ram- parts, to be reached from the town side only by a narrow lanei but the
