curlosItN Of Wives,

Curiosity is most destructive to hap
piness. Eve started the fashion thou
sands of years ago and Ewes daugh-
tiers have followed 1t ever since. 1t
is not unusual to hear of the woman
who escorts her husband home from
his office. She has perfectly insane
curiosity regarding all his actions, SO
makes a habit of dropping in on him
at unexpected moments. She will verb
fy every word or excuse the poor soul
says. She will even read his CORE
spondence. This Is inexcusable. Any
man would justly resent such intru'
sion, and while a wife's place Ia q
sacred one, an honorable mans private
affairs are just as sacred.

muscles quivered, lungs labored, and
every pair OF eyes that had that black

that direction-ready- for no

Then a single figure appeared.
1t appeared out there on the ridge,
all alone-a short, stout figure in q

calm-the figure Of Napoleon. 1t had

huge flash and rolling billow Of
smoke, then darkness, then the quayer
of fame again, brighter than ever
where the weeds and brush had caught
fire.
He was still there!
There was a rolling cheer.
AS he was before, he was now
leisurely, calm, commanding.
He turned to face the long French
lines. Then, while the shrapnel burst
overhead like rockets, and geysers of
fire disgorged where other shells
struck the ground, they saw him lift
his hand in a gesture that was both
salute and benediction. Again the
thunder-clouds of smoke and fire had
hidden him.
But the army was inspired, was
straining now in frenzied eagerness.
There came shrilling blast of bugles
for miles and miles, an infinite, flood
| ing roar of cheers, and down the
slopes and out across the valley to-
ward the ridge, and on, and on, and
on, corps after corps of exalted hearts
and reaching bayonets.
The army that had seen Napoleon
was driving the enemy back from
Paris.
Let us take up the narrative of Jo-
seph Dubois again.
He reports how he had followed the
advance of the allies almost to the
new outposts they had thrown out.
and how, while the army was still hurl-
ing itself forward, he was constrained
to return to Paris with dispatches.
He came to the ridge just beyond
the burning hamlet of (name deleted
by the censor) and there he found an
old man, dressed like Napoleon, I"
lying grievously wounded by the road.
TT was the same old man had car
ried forward in the night" says Jo-
seph. This time he was wearing a
bieorne hat and long cloak; but.

said:

II took him in my machine and car

rived at dawn"
Joseph doesn't mention it in his re
port, but various comrades of the
Grenadier Mere-such as the Corporal
Pictou, Marine Frenzy, Quartermastel
Sandeau and Farrier Saint-Lambert-
all of them, in fact, tell how they had
watched and waited throughout the
night, how they were the first to heal
that the tide of battle had turned.
Then, just as the gilded dome of tht
Hotel des Invalides was emerging
from the blue-gray mists of this his
toric night, military courier from the
front had arrived, bringing them tht
body of him who had spoken Of evok
ing the immortal shade.
They carried him into the cryp
where Napoleon slept. and where tht
body Of that other hero-old Adju
tant Latour- Michal-also lay in state.
So the three of them slept there
side by side. contented, presumably
while. far above them. the gilded dom'
shimmered like an aureole of glory.

Brutal Murder at Boulder.

One of the most fiendish murders
ever perpetrated in this county was
discovered late Sunday afternoon
when the bartender at Paquette's
place at Boulder Junction found in
an clubhouse at the rear of the board
ing house the body of Emil Robinson,
with his heart cut open, three ribs
and the breast severed by knife
wound.
Robinson, an employe at Brooks
and Ross camp, FIVE miles from Pau
quette's, had walked down with a
friend that afternoon.
There we're but three people about
the saloon beside Robinson at the
time the murder must have occurred,
his friend, the bartender, and a man
named Frank Kelley, who is said to
be the last man seen with the victim.
Kelley. who lives at Wildcat lake,
was caught by Sheriff sIIall, District
Atty Wiegand, and Coroner Gaffney
Monday afternoon and brought here
for trial. His preliminary hearing
will be held before Judge Higgins on
Saturday.
