Washington q Screen

Napoleon and Josephine installed them selves in the Palace of the Luxembourg immediately after the revolution or coup detat at St. Cloud. The directors had been living in that palace and now the consuls supplanted them. How rew years ago the Luxembourg had been the priscn of Jcsephines husband. when it was crowded with the victims of the terror and she herself was a prisoner in the Calmelite convent a little way down the street.
 But the Tuleries. not the Luxem bourg, was the palace of the Kings. 1t was not from idle vanity that Napoleon 1onged to move over the Seine and live in that home of royalty For the same purpose that the chief of provisional government in the United ;states might wish to occupy the White House, the First Consul desired to possess himself of the traditional seat of power and authority In France. Such q change in quarters. however, might awaSeni the mob that he himself had watched seven years before while it drove Lovs XVI from the throne of his fathers
 As he pondered the question the news came of the death of Washington. Pro- claiming period of mourning and hold ing a memorial festival he evoked the shade of the immortal friend of liberty and enemy of tyrants as q screen for his entry into the abiding place of the Bour- bon monarchs whence he drove behind six white horses and wearing a magnin- cent saber, gifts of the Emperor of Ger many. As he passed within the gate he could have read on one of the stone posts this boast of the republic:

The Jealous Husband

By an unexpected shortening of his route, Napoleon raced into Paris before the city awoke. It was o'clock in the morning when. with the applause Of France ringing in his ears-and there Is nothing more fervent. or intoxicating he leaped from his carriage and hasten- ing up the walk, entered his little honey moon house. to find Josephine gone and the place full of tattling Bonopartes. who mingled their welcome of brother with their pity for the husband of faithless wife.
 But poor Josephine, at that moment at least was not consoling herself for -her spouses absence in the company of Ex-Lieutenant Hippolite Charles, now a prosperous army contractor. On the con- trary, she was driving furiously back to Paris. after having missed Napoleon on 5the road where she had hoped to surprise him and tell her story first.

The Pear Was Ripe

The Pear Was Ripe
 Napoleon had hastened from Egypt with an ambition to be the savior of the country from military disaster in Italy and with no expectation that the time had already come for him to take his place in France, with no thought that ''the pear was ripe" he had been in the habit of saving. But he found he had only to shake the tree to bring down the fruit France was not fearing for eign armies so much as the plotting fac tons at home, who forever kept the coun- try between the two horns of the dilem- ma. the return of the Bourbons the return of the Terror.
 She did not lack for soldier states man was he rone great need The re- public had failed to give peace and se- curity at home, and after an even 10 years of incessant little revolutions within he great revolution. the harried and wearied people seemed ready to pur- chase law and order at any cost.
 The, country turned to Napoleon, therefore, not so much as a soldier as a ruler, not so much as the conqueror as the lawgiver of Italy and Egypt. After decade of bloodshed and tur- moil the freedom of the press and free dom of speech were suppressed, forced loans were exhorted: suspected families and communities were treated like say ages and required to give hostages for their peaceable conduct, untold thousands of persons were in prison for no crime.
 Schools hardly existed Hospitals were demoralized and the public health neg lected. The roads were in q wretched state and swarming with bandits. Ma poleon's own baggage was robbed on it's way from Frejus.
 The streets of the capital were filthy. The dead bodies lying in them in the morning testified to the crimes of the night The city had lost 100000 in pop ulation. Only a little loose change re- mained in the national treasury, and rentes, or government securities, were down to l2 francs, which meant that the republic was paying interest at the rate of 1 per cent
 The Directory was at the end of its rope. Twice. Napoleon had propped it up with bayonets. Where it had for merly expelled and packed the legis- lative councils at pleasure, the councils were now expelling and packing it.
 Director Barras. an ex-noble was ne gotiating with the Bourbons for theiI return. Director Sieyes. an ex-priest, was looking for a soldier with whom to con- spire for the overthrow of the govern ment and the constitution All realizied that the downfall was near and each fac tion was planning to profit by the in- evitable revolution

Napoleon at St. Cloud

The next morning all curious PaflS was awheel or .afoot on the road to St. Cloud. To the deserted halls of Marie Antoinette in that palace the council of the Ancents and the council of five hundred went to deliberate on the dangers of the republic, while Napoleon anxiously waited in a nearby apartment for the schedule of the revolution to be observed. Out In the courtyard he had regiment drawn up as if for battle
 Meanwhile Seyes and his side partner, Ducos.' had resigned from the directory. Talleyrand, with a resignation all duly written out, had glided in upon Barras as he was coming from his bath. He convinced Barras 1t would be the better part of valor to sign 1t, after which the dethroned director stepped into his car riage and took to the woods. Will these three resignations the directory was left without quorum and helpless. Besides. the two remaining directors were vir- tually prisoners under guard, with Gen- eral Moreau acting as their jailer.
 With the slow hours of delay at St. Cloud, however, Napoleon grew increas- irsly anxious and angry It was his first experience with a legislative body that pretended to any independence of his own will. Fairly beside himself at last, and saying he was going to make an end of it, he burst in upon the Aricients.
 In his rage he could only rant fn- coherently about his brothers in arms, volcanoes, Caesar. Cromwell. liberty and equality. One of the few things he was distinctly heard to say was, ''f will resign my power when the danger which threatens the republic shall have passed away" Bourrienne pulled his coat tail and urged in whisper, Withdraw, general, you know rot what you are saying" After few more stammered words he turned to leave as abruptly as he had entered, shouting as he went. Let those who love me follow me-" sas
 Yet he seemed satisfied with his awkward performance and sent Bonr- rienne to write and dispatch message to Josephine. assuring her all was go- ing we'll. Into the courtyard the oe- wildered man went and there mounted his horse. while his soldiers cri sd. ''Vive Bonaparte." But he soon leaped from his saddle and with a guard of grenadiers rushed into the council of five hundred

 The people of the pretty little port of Frejus on thte Mediterranean Riviera. 60 miles east of Toulon. awolxe on an october morning in the year 1799 to the astonishing news that Napoleon was entering their harbor, having made safe run of nearly 50 days through the British blockaded All France sup posed him to be penned upAin Egypt. Had he fallen from heaven,p Savary tells us, "his appearance would not have created much surpl-se and e.:- thusiasm.y
 He did not dream of the frenzied wei come that awaited him. On the con trary. he was fearful of a long de- tention in quarantine. When the towns people, frantic with joy, swarmed out in boats and surrounded his ship. his companions shouted a warning to keep at g. safe distance as the vessel had come from the plague e-infected orient. But the people roared: We prefer the plague to the Austrians." While Ma poleon was absent, the conquering sol diers of Austria had obliterated his vic , tories in Italy and the inhabitants of southern France were in terror of an invasion by the white coats.

Councillors grabbed the invader of their sanctuary by the collar of his gray coat and. while denouncing him as 2 traitor and dictator. shook him as 6 dog shakes a rat
 Although history doubts if any weap- non was drawn on him, he cried in the midst of the noisy melee: They mean to assassinate me-" and then the god oi war fell like a fainting woman into the arms of his, grenadiers.
 "Outlaw him! Outlaw him, The coun- ell hall resounded with that sinister cry which had sent many man to the guillotne. ''Hors Ia loi Hors la loi,''
 Imcien bore himself calmly and well in the chair of the council. but when he could not silence the demand for outlawry he left his place rather than put to a vote the motion against hls brother. Removing his toga-classlc Rome was the fashion plate of the re- public-he quit the candle light of the hall and joined his perspiring, dum- founded brother among the shadows of the courtyard. |
 For the time being Napoleon was as absurdly ineffective as when he used to mess in the faction quarrels of Corsica. Strip outhority from one of these giants of power and he is as helpless as a driver without rein. In such a scene as that at St. Cloud, Lucien was more al nome ana lWlce the man.
 End of the Republic
 Give me a horse" the younger Bona parte demanded and from the tribune of the saddle he harangued the citizen soldiers T swear. he shouted; as he waved a sword. 'to run this through my own brother if he ever does volance to the liberty of the French"
 While the soldiers cheered that bit of theatrics, Napoleaon gathered his wits. He determined no longer to waste his time in words and to return to his na- tive element. The grenadiers under Murat and Leclerc were ordered to clear the hall of the Five Hundred. Forward March, The drums rolled as the soldiers entered and the councillors, crying: ''Vive la Republique,' jumped out the windows. Only one among them courted martyr dom and clutched his chair. Nut when the grenadiers laughed at him, even his heroism vanished
 D The republic was no more: 1t had jumped out the, window. With a mere fragment of the broken up Five Hun- dred, only 30 members, Lucien opened new session at 9 o'clock in the even- ing. Then measures were quickly con certed with the compaisant Ancients whereby the old government was formally done to death and a provisional consiI- late or three, Sieyes. Ducos and Bona parte, was. established.
 Napoleon had been all day without food when at Il o'clock he said to Rourrienne ? We must go and write. Tomorrow morn ing l shall be the talk of Paris'' And they wrote proclamations and orders un- til 3 o'clock, when they drove into the city As Napoleon alighted at his gate he turned to. say: Good night, Bour- rienne-hy the way we will sleep in the palace of the IuxembIrp tomorroyX

 Of course, the unoffending secretary could not reply to that sweeping indict- ment of the government Nor was it nee essary that he should. It had been deliv- cred only for public consumption, and the poet Arnault stood at the speakers elbow to take it down for the newspapers.
 Lannes, Marmont Seurier, Macdonald and Murat each with a strong force were posted at the points where they would do the most good. Paris knew it's mas ter ''the man on horseback, and not caring for another whiff of his grapeshot, was still as mouse. It was hardly neces- sary for Fouche to reassure the city with his italicized placard: Let not the weak be uneasy; they are with the strong.
