good use of 1t that don't think you havs any cause to complain
 The Austrian Empress. the stepmother of little Marie Louise, wrote her husband in great alarm lest the imperial family should be treated as prisoners. Don't let me be taken to France" she pleaded. The Emperor, after his meeting with Ne poleon, sent her a reassuring reply. '1 have been as happy" he wrote his wtfes "as I could be with a conqueror who holds a large part of my kingdom. With regard to his treatment of me and minas he has been very kind. It is easy to see that he Is not a Frenchman." Kind aD Napoleon may have been, he held on to Francis capital and left Austerlitx only to return to Vienna and settle down in the palace of the beaten Emperor until the Austrans should meet his terms and ran som their empire,
 Death of Pitt
 One ohieftain of the coalition received a mortal blow when the allied center was smashed on the field of Austerlitz. William Pitt, tho British prime minister. was already nearing the end of his frail hold on life, when he heard of the fall of Ulm. Heavy news" he sighed, and would have tainted but for timely assist ance.
 But he continued to cherish tho hope of success even after Napoleon had en- tered Vienna. When. however still heavier news arrived from the Moravian hills and what was described as "ths Austerlitz look came into his weary eyes, there is a tradition that he said. on entering his house and seeing a map of Europe on his study wall. Roll up that map, it will not be needed again these 10 years"
 Yet he clung to the hope that Prussia would make good the loss of Austria from the coalition. and even as he was dying he anxiously expected the coming of messenger across the North sea with the Prussian pledge. What is the wind?" he inquired. East? That win do. that will bring him fast" But the wind disappointed Pitts last hope and left him .murmuring his despair as he died, My countryi o, my country!"
 Austerlitz Now
 Austria having no reason to enshrfno Austeritz, and the place being remote from the main roads of foreign travel. CTS, the battle ground is little visited. The castle, which belongs to a Moravian family of counts. is a more beautiful villa than a castle, It's wall rising in a pretty park in the very center of the tidy vile lage. As everywhere along "the Path of Napoleon" his memory eclipses that of all other guests of the castle. including the two Emperors whom he drove forth from It's hospitality into December nbnt, ana NdpOleOn s room, 'Nap0- leons bed "Napoleon's chair" and Ma poleons table" are the proudest exhibits offered to the curious pilgrim.
 While the battle tide flowed to the very walls of Austerlitz on the east. the vest ern boundary of the scene of combat 10 fully eight miles away on the road to Brunn Not far from the true center rises the green slopes of Pfatzen. crowned by the only monument that marks the fled of strife. a huge gray-stone menloEjal erected on the centenary of the fight
 From those pratzen nights the battlA-N ground of the three Emperors rolls away in every direction. crossed here and there by the brooks that one day ran with the blood of many nations. and dotted over with the little stone villages that bore the brunt of the onslaught. The pond where tho fleeing Russians were drowned how. ever. is no more to be seen, It's bed hav- ing been drained and converted into tile lage. For thrift is written across the entire face of the cosntrysidc. smiling in peace above the graves of the thous- ands who fell in battle, where the waving grain blossoms in their silent dust
