When I told you some little time
figo haw It was that I won the special
xnedal for valor, I finished, as you will
doubtless remember, by repeating the
eeying of the emperor that I had the
Stoutest heart In all his armies. In
making that remark, Napoleon was
showing the Insight for which he was
ao famous. He disfigured his sentence,
however, by adding something about
the thickness of my head. We will
pass that over. It Is ungenerous to
dwell upon the weaker moments of a
reat man. I will only say this, that
when the emperor needed an agent he
waj always very ready to do me the
donor of recalling the name of Etl-
"My Boy, tho Emporcr Wonts to See You."

might have grasped my baton,' and the

by all who served with me In the great
wars of the empire.
What I want to tell you tonight Is
labout the very singular affair which

Vara course, and which had the effect
t establishing a secret bond between
le emperor and myself. There Is Juat
ne little word of warning which I
ust give you before I begin. When
u hear .me speak you must always
(ar In mind that you are listening to
Who has seen history from tha In
side. I am talking about what my
ears have heard and my eyes have
seen, so you must not try 'to confute
me by quoting the opinion:! of some
student or man of the pan who has
written a book of history or mamolrs.
There Is much which 13 unknown by
such people, and much which never
will be known by the world. For my
own part, I could tell you some very
surprising things were It discreet to
do so. The facts which I am about to
relate to you tonight were kept secret
by me during tho empenr's lifetime be
cause I gave him my promise that they
Bhould be, but I do not think that there
oan be any harm now in my telling
the remarkable part which I played.
You must know, then, that at tho
time of the treaty of Tilsit I was a
simple lieutenant In the Tenth Hus
sars, without money or Interest. It Is
true that my appearance and my gal
lantry were in my favor, and that I
had already won a reputation as being
on of the beHt swordsmen In the
army, but among the ho3t of brave
men who surrounded the Rmperor It
needed more than this to Insure a rapid
career. I was conildent, however, that
my chance would come, though I never
dreamed that It would take so remark
able a form.
When the Emperor returned to Paris
after the, declaration of peace In the
year 1607 he spent much of his time
with tho Empress and the court at
Fontalnbleau. It was the time when
he was at the very pinnacle of his ca
reer. He had In three successive cam
paigns humbled Austria, crushed Prus
sia, and hurled the Russian armies
across tho Nlomen. The old bulldog

over the Channel was still growling,
but he could not get very far from his
kennel. If we could have made a
perpetual peace at that moment France
would have 'taken a higher place than
any nation since the days of the Ro
mans. So I have heard the Mse folks
say, though, for my ovn part, I had
other things to think of. All the girls
were glad to see the army back after
Its long. absence, and you may be sure
that I had my share of any favors
which were going. You may Judge how

far I was a favorite In those days when
I say that even now, In my 00th year
but why should I dwell upon that which
Is already sulllulently well known.
Our reirlmpnt of Hussars was quar
tered with tho Horse Chasseurs of the
Guard at Fontalnbleau. It is, as you
know, but a little place burled In the
heart of the forest, and It was wonder
ful at this time to see It crowded with
grand dukes and electors and princes
who thronged round Napoleon like pup
pies round their master, each hoping
that some bone might be thrown to
him. There was more German than
French to be hoard In the street, for
those who had helped us In the late
war had como to beg for a reward, and
those who had opposed us had come
to try and escape their punishment.
And all the time our little man, with
his pale face and his cold gray eyes,
was riding to the hunt every morning,
silent and brooding, all of them fol
lowing In his train In tho hope that
some word would escape him. And
then when tho humor seized him he
would throw a 100 square miles to
that man, or snip as much off the other,
round off one kingdom by a river, or
curtail another by a chain of moun
tains. That was how ho used to do
business, this ll(tle artilleryman whom
we had raised so high with our sabres
and our bayonets. He was very civil
to us always, for he knew where his
power came from. We knew, also, anil
showed It by the way In which we
carried ourselves. Wo were agreed,
you understand, that he was the finest
leader In the world, but we did not for
get that he had, the finest men to lead.
Well, one day, I was seated In my
quarters playing cards with young
Regnier of the Horse Chasseurs, when
the door opened and In walked La
salle, who was our colonel. You know
what a fine, swaggering fellow he was,
and the sky-blue uniform of the Tenth
suited him to a marvel. My faith, we
youngsters were so taken by him that
we all swore and diced and drank and
-: ' : '. v . .
played the devil, whether we liked It
or no, just that we might resemble our
colonel! We forgot that It was ,not
because he drank or gambled that the
Emperor was going to make him tho
head of the light cavalry, but because
he had the surest eye for the nature of
a position or for the strength of a
column, and the best Judgment as to
when Infantry could be broken, or
whether guns were exposed, of any
man In the army. We were too young
to understand all that, however, so we
waxed our mustaches and clinked our
spurs and let the ferrules of our scab
. irds wear out by trailing them along
the pavement In tho hope that we
should all become Lasalles. When ha
came clanking Into my quarters, both
Regnier and I sprang to our feet.
"My boy," said he, clapping me on
the Bhoulder, "the emperor wants to
see you at 4 o'clock."
The room whirled round me at the
words, and I hud to lean my hands
upon the edge of the card table.
"What!" cried I. "The emperor!"
"Precisely," said he, smiling at my
astonishment.
"But the emperor does not know of
my existence, colonel," I repeated.
"Why should he send for me?"
"Well, that's Just what puzzles me,"
cried Lasalle, twirling his mustache.
"If he wanted the help of a brave man,
why should he descend to one of my
lieutenants, when he might have found
all that he needed at the head of the
regiment. However," he added, clap
ping me upon the shoulder again In his
hearty fashion, "every man has his
chance. I have had mine, otherwise I
should not be colonel of the Tenth. I
must not grudge you yours. Forward,
my boy, and may It be the first step
toward changing your busby for a
cocked hat."
It was but 2 o'clock, so he left me,
promising to come back and to accom
pany me to the palace. My faith, what
a'tima I passed, and how many conjec
tures did I make ns to what It was
which 'the emperor could. want of me!
I paced up and down my little room, In
a fever of anticipation. Sometimes I
thought that perhaps he had heard of

the guns which we had taken at Aus
terlltz, but then there were so many
who had taken guns at Austerlitz, and
two years had passed since the battle.
Of It might be that he wished to re
ward be for my affair with the aid-de-camp
of the Russian emperor, liut
then, again, a, cold fit would seize me,
and I would fancy that he had sent for
me to reprimand me. There were a
few duels which ho might have taken
in 111 part, and here were one ,or two
little Jokes In Paris since the peace.
But no! I considered the words of La
salle. "If he had need of a brave man,"
said Lnsalle. It was obvious that my
colonel had some Idea of what was in
the wind. If he had not known that it
was to my advantage he would not
have been so cruel ns to congratulate
me. My heart glowed with joy as this
conviction grew upon me, and I pat

that very moment to have my opinion
upon a matter of Importance. It made
me smile as I wrote it to think that,
wonderful ns it appeared to me, It
would probably only conllrin my
mother in hor opinion of the emperor's
good sense.
At 3.30 I heard a sabre come clanking
against eveVy step of my wooden stair.
It was L&salle, and with him was a lit
tle gentleman very neatly dressed In
black, with dapper ruffles and cuffs.
Wo did not know many civilians, we of i
the army, but my word, this was. one
whom we could not afford to Ignore! I
had only to glance at those twinkling
eyes, the comical upturned nose, and
the straight precise mouth to know
that I was In the presence of the man
In France whom even tho emperor had
to consider.
