It was a letter from the king. It

When one Of these fatal letters was
delivered the recipient no matter
whether he was a nobleman, officer or
plain citizen, turned pale and disap-

or gone to the Bastile, maybe for life.
Sometimes no revelation was ever

That's the story back OF every one
'of these modern letters Of chachet

may be a telegram. More likely it is a

1t may even be verbal.
The officer is told his command is
to leave shortly Inc he is to report
at a certain port to a certain officer.
He always knows that means France
and the active service for which every
good American officer is longing.
He also knows 1t means that he
