The White Satin Domino. The period of Napoleon's career, when at its z vith, is full of romantic adventures us connected with the his- t ry of the fi ers’ lives that served under the great captain, He was quick to observe merit and prompt to reward i, and this it was that made his followers so devoted to him, and so anxious to distinguish themselves by p.wers in battle, and strict sol- dleriy conduct in the Emperor's ser- vice, Colonel Eugene Merville was an at- tache of Napoleon's staff.

To fall upon his knees, and tell her how of her their separation, that his thoughts had much he had thought since never left her, that he loved her de- votedly, was as natural as to breathe and he did so most gallantly and sin cerely. “Shall I believe all you say?” “Lady let me prove it by any test you may put upon me.” “Know, then, that the f eelings you | AvOow are mutual.
