DEFEATS FOE

LONDON, Dec. lo.-Ierrttic
fighting is developing 80 miles
from Warsaw. Berlin dispatches
said the continuation OF what Is
declared to be the greatest VIC
tory of the war is in progress.
Tie Germans claim to have rout-
ed the Russian forces. IL seems
that there is no question that tho
Slavs are withdrawing their lines,
but Petrograd advices maintained
that this movement was purely a
strategic one. To military experts
It is evident that the struggle for
Warsaw is reaching Its climax.
It is understood that 100000 Ger
mans are engaged in the Warsaw
advance. The Russians are said
to outnumber them greatly.

dear comrade and scholar, what Is
most secret and most sacred to me-"
In as few words as might be, he told
her of the peasant child who had been
lifted out of his poverty-bound life
with such large kindness that no
bond which held him to that poor, yet
dear life had been broken; who had
been left all the love of his first home.
and yet been given home and a train
ing and an education which set him
ready for any career; he told of the
big-souled, blunt, Napoleonic officer,
the seigneur; of the gray, red-roofed
castle, with its four round towers; of
handsome silent Pietro, and of the
unfailing long kindness Of them all.
Then, his voice lowered, holding the
girls hand still, he told her OF Alike,
of the fairy child who had met him on
that day of his first visit and had
brought him to her father, the seig-
neur. He described little the play
mate OF his childhood, fearless, boyish
in her intrepid courage, yet always ex-
quisitely a girl. He told of the long
summer vacations of the three as they
grew up, and the rides in the Jura val
ley, and of that last ride when he knew
that he was to go to Italy next morn
ing, and Of how he had faced the seig-

over the gardens in sudden breeze.

road that led to Roanoke house were

were sharp cut against the brightness.
And through the nght-pierced cave OF
shade a man travelled on horseback
from one plantation to another, man
who rode as Virginian rides, yet with
a military air for all that. He patted
the beasts neck with soothing word,
and smiled as Aquarelle plunged at the
waving of a bough, at a fox that ran
across the road. But If an observer
had been there he might have seen
that the mans thought was not with
horse or journey. Francois Beanpre,
riding out to give French lesson to
Miss Hampton at Roanoke house, as
he had been doing for four years, all
unconscious as he was of the letter
awaiting for him at the moment in
Norfolk, was thinking of the event to
come to which that letter called him.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Summoned.

Summoned.
On the morning of May 8, 1910, theI
sun shone gaily in London. 1t filtered
in intricate patterns through the cur
tains which shaded the upper windows
of house in Carlton gardens, and the
breeze lifted the lace, and sunlight
and breeze together touched the bent
head of young man who sat at
writing-table. A lock of hair had es-
capped on his forehead and the air
touched it, lifted it, as If to say: "Be-
hold the Napoleonic curli See how he
is like his uncle!"
But the pen ran busily, regardless of
the garrulous breeze; there was much
to do for a hard-working prince who
found time to be the hero of ball
rooms, the center of London season,
and yet could manipulate his agents
throughout the garrisons of France,
and plan and execute a revolution. 1t
was the year when the body of Napole-
on the First was brought from st.
Helena to Paris, and Louis Bonaparte
had resolved, in that steady mind
which never lost its grip on the reason
of being of his existence, that with
the ashes of the emperor his family
should come back to France. For
months the network had been spread,
was tightening, and now the memory
which held it's friendships securely al
ways, took thought of a Frenchman
living in Virginia. AS soon as his let
ter was finished to his father-the pen
flew across the lines:
"The sword of Austerlitz must not
be in an enemy's hands," he wrote to
his father. ct must stay where it
may again be lifted in the day of dan
ger for the glory of France" His let
tiers were apt to be slightly oratorical;
it was moreover the fashion of the day
to write so.
He raised his head and stared into
the street. 1t was enough to decide
his expedition for this summer that
General Bertrand, well-meaning, and
ill-judging, had given to Louis Phil
lipe the arms of the emperor, to be-
placed in the Invalides. Every mem,
Der of the Bonaparte family was
aroused, and to the heir it was trum-
pet call. He could hardly wait to go to-
France, to reclaim that insulted sword.
He wrote on, finished the letter to the
exiled king, his father, gloomy and
lonely old man whom the son did not
forget through years spent away from,
him.
Then he drew out a fresh sheet Of
paper, and his faint smile cleaned;
for the thought of this adherent in
Virginia was pleasant to him.
"Chevalier Francois Beaupre," he
headed the letter, and began below,
my friend and Marshal of Some Day"
He considered moment and wrote
quickly as If the words boiled to the
pen. 1.-THE baton awaits you. Come.
1 make an expedition within three
months, and need you and your faith
in me. Our stars must shine togeth-
er to give full light. So, mon ami, join
me here at the earliest, that the en-
peror's words may come true.

fields and bouquets of chestnut trees,
and far off, five miles away, at the
high red roofs of the chateau of Vic
ques. And gazing SO, he saw Pietro on
old Capitaine, turn from the shady ave
nue. of the chestnuts and ride slowly
to the house. With that he heard his
mother greeting Pietro below in the
great kitchen, then the two voices
the deep one and the soft one-talking,
talking, a long time. What could his
mother and Pietro have to talk about
SO long? And then Pietro's step was
coming up the narrow stair, and he
was there, in the room.

rect fashion, 81 think you must 20

Francois regarded him with startled
eyes, saying nothing. There was a
chill and an ache in his heart at the
thought of yet another parting.

from Harry Hampton. The place needs
