BEFORE HIS HOUR or GLORY
Attitude Of the Youthful Napoleon on
That Memorable June Day
In FreRch History.

While we were spending our time in
q rather vagabond manner the twen-
tieth Of June arrived We met by an
pointment at a restaurateur's in the
Rue st. Honore, near the Palais
Royal. to take one Of our daily ram
bles. On going out we saw mob ap-
preaching in the direction of the mar
ket, which Bonaparte estimated at five
or six. thousand men. They were a
rabble OF blackguards ludicrously
armed with weapons of every descrip-
ton, and shouted while they proceed
ed rapidly toward the Tuileries, vocif-
Grating al. kinds of gross abuse. It
was q collection Of all that was vilest

"Let US follow the mob" said Bona
parte.
We got the start OF them and took
up our station on the terrace along the
river. It was there that he witnessed
the scandalous scenes which took
place. and 1t would be difficult to de-
scribe the surprise and indignation
which they excited in him. When the
king showed himself at the windows
overlooking the garden with the red
cap which one OF the mob had put on
his head he could no longer repress
his indignation. what stupidity" he
loudly exclaimed. why have they
let in all that rabble? They should
knock or 400 or 500 of them with the
cannon; the rest would take them
selves on fast enough"
When we sat down to dinner. which
paid for. as generally did. for was
the richer of the two, he spoke Of moth
ing but the scene we had witnessed.
He discussed with great good sense the
causes and consequences Of this unre-
pressed insurrection. He foresaw and
developed with sagacity all that would
follow. He was not mistaken

The driver had wrapped himself in

tonneau. Also in the tonneau was

on examination proved to be we'll

and thermos bottles containing hot

Tommy carried the basket into the
woods without asking permission of

this he cut great pile Of tender bal

fortune the night was not cold. Celes-

closing her half-open eyes. And Fred

this up, with occasional lapses into
