T" ! " , CHAPTER III.
' "I have need of your services, Mon
eleur Gerard," said he. "I may be
safer -with a good sword at my side,
end there are reasons why yours should
be the one which I select. But first
of all, I imust bind you to secrecy.
"Whilst I live what passes between us
today must be known to none but
ourselves."
I thought of Talleyrand and of La
alle, but I promised.
"In the next place I do not want
opinions or conjectures, and I wish you
to do exactly what you are told."
I bowed.
"It is your eword that I need, and
not your brains. I will do the think
ing. Is that clear to you?" (
. "Yes, sire."
"Tou known the Chancellor's Grove
In the forest?"
I bowed.
"Tou know also the large double fir
(ret where the hounds assembled on
Tuesday?"
Had he known that I met a girl under
It three times a week he would not have
I tluve Beon Thinking. Sire," Cried I.
asked me. J bowed once more without
remark.
"Very good. Tou will meet me there
.at W o'clock onlght." V
f I had got past being surprised at
anything which might happen.--
If he had asked me to take his place
upon the Imperial throne I could only
have nodded my busby.
-."We shall then proceed into the wood
together," ald the emperor. ' , "You
will be armed with a sword, but not
with pistols. Tou murtddress no re
mark to me, and I shall say nothing to
you. We will advance in silence. You
understand?"
"I understand, sire."
"After a time we shall see a man, or
more probably two men, under a cer
tain tree. We shall approach them'
together, tf I signal to you to defend
me, you will have your sword ready,
,11 on the ether hand,. I spcal: -to. these
men you will wait and see what hap
pens. If you are callad upon to draw
you must see that neither of them, In
the event of there being two, escapes
from Ufl. I shall mysolf assist you."
"But, sire," I cried, "I have no doubt
that two would not bo too many for
my sword, but would It not bo better
that I should bring a comrade than
that you should be forced to Join In
such a struggle?"
"Ta, ta, ta," said he, "I was o soldier
before I was an Emperor. Do you
think, then, that artillerymen have not
sw.ord8.as well, as the hussars? But
I order you not to argue with me.
You will do exactly what I tell you. If
swords are once drawn, neither of
these men Is to get away alive."
"The shall not, sire," said I.
"Very good. I have no more Instruc
tions for you. You can go."
I turned to the door, and then an
idea occurring .to me. I turned:
"I have been thinking, sire," said
I
"He sprang at me with the ferocity
of a wild beaut. I really thought that
he.whuld have rtruck me.
"Thlhkl'njr." he cried. "You! You!
Do you Imagine I chose you out be
cause ypu could think. Let me hear
of your doing silch a thing again! You,
the one man but there! You meet me
at the fir tree at 10 o'clock."
My faith, I was right glad to get out
of the room. If I have a good horse
under me, and a sword clanking
against my stirrup Iron, I know where
I am. And in all that relates to green
fodder or dry, barley and oats and rye,
and the handling of squadrons upo.f
the march, there Is no one who can
teach me very much, but when I meet

a chamberlain and a marshal of the
palace, and have to pick my words
with an Emperor, and find that $very
body hints instead of talking straight
out, I feel like a troop horse who has
been put hi a lady's caleche. It Is
not my trade, all this mincing and
pretending. I couldn't do It, and I
never like those who can. So I was
right glad to get Into the fresh air
again, and I ran aWay up to my quar
ters like a schoolboy who has just es
caped from the seminary master.
But as I opened the door the very
first thing that my eyes rested upon
was a long pair of sky-blue legs, with
hussar boots, and. a short pair of black
ones with knee breeches and buckles
They both sprang up together to greet
me.
"Well, what news?" they cried, the
two of them.
"None," I answered.
"The Emperor refused to see you!"
"No, I have seen him."
"And what did he say?"
"Monsler de Talleyrand," I an
swered, "I regret to say that it Is quite
Impossible for me to tell you anything
about ft. I have promised the em
peror." "Pooh, pooh, my dear young man,"
hsald he, sidling up to me as a cat does
when It is about to rub itself against
you. "This is all among friends, you
understand, and goes no further than
these four walls. Besides, the em
perdr never meant to Include me in this
promise."
"It Is .but a minute's walk to the
palace, Monsieur de Talleyrand," I an
swered. "If It would not be troubling
you too much to esk you to step up
to It, and to bring back the emperor's
written statement that he did not
mean to Include you In this promise, I,
shall be happy to tell you every word
that passed."
He showed his teeth at me then like
the old fox that he was.
"Monsler Gerard appears to be a
U'Mle puffed up,' 'said he. "He is too
younj to see things in their Just pro
portion. As' he grows older he may
uncle! clland that It is not always very
discreet for A subaltern of cavalry to
give such very 'abrupt refusals."
1 did not know what to say to this.
but Lasalle fcrae to my aid in his
downright fasMlon.
The lad Is quite right," said he. "If
I had known that there was a promise,
I should not have questioned him.
You know very well, Monsler de Tal
leyrand, that If he had answered you.
you would have laughed In your sleeve
and thought as much about him as I
think of the bottle when the burgundy
Is gone. As to me, I promise you that
the Tenth would have had no room for
him, and that we should have lost our
beat Swordsman, if I had heard him
give up the emperor's secret."
But the statesman becams only the
more bitter when he saw that I had
th? support of my colonel.
"I have hoard, Colonel Lapalle," said
he, with an Icy dignity, "that your
opln'.cn Is of great weight upon the sub
ject of light cavalry. Should I have oc-
cailon to seek information about that
branch of the' army I shall be very
happy to apply to you.." At present, ,
however, the matter concerns diplo
macy, and you will pernUt me to form
ray own views upon that question. As
long as the welfare of France and the
safe of the emperor's person are
largely committed to my care, I will
use every means, in my power to secure
, 'hem even if It should be against the
Emperor's own temporary wishes, I
have the honor, Colonel Lasalle, to wish
you a very good day." He shot a most
unamluble glance In my direction, and,
turning upon his heel, he walked with
little, quick, noiseless steps out of the
room.
I could see from Lasalle's face that
he did not at all relish finding himself
at enmity with the powerful minister.
He rapped out an oath or two, and
So I Supposo Ho Was Trying to Mako His
Peace with tho Talleyrand.
then catching up his sabre and his cap
he clattered away down the stairs. As
I looked out of the window, I saw
the two of them, the big blue man and
the little black one, going up the streot
together. Talleyrand was walking very
rigidly, and Lasalle was waving his
hands and talking, so I supposed that
he was trying to make his peace.
The emperor had tolf me not to
think, and I endeavored to obey him.
I took up the cards from the table
where Regnler had left them, and I
tried to work out a few combinations
at ecarte, but I could not remember
which were trumps, and I threw them
under the table in despair. Then I
drew my sabre, and practiced giving
point until I was weary, but it was
all of no use at all. My mind would
work in spite of myself. At 10 o'clock
I was to meet the emperor In the for
est. Of all extraordinary combinations
of events In this whole world, surely
this was the last which would have
occurred to me when I rose from my
couch that morning. But the respon
sibility the dreadful responsibility! It
was all upon my shoulders. There was
no ona to halve it with me. It made
mo cold all over. Often as I have
faced death upon the battlefield, I had
never known what real fear was until
iiMw, mumem. dui inen i considered
that after all I could but do my beat
like a brave and honorable gentleman,
and above all obey the orders which
I had received, to the very letter. And
If all went well, this would surely be
the foundation of my fortunes. Thus
alternating between my fears and my
hope8. I spent the long, long evening
until It was time for me to keep my
appointment.
