Memoirs of Napoleon
In Three Volumes
The personal reminiscences of Baron de Meneval, for
thirteen years private secretary to Napoleon Bonaparte,
briii" out, as no history can, many enlightening and
interesting side lights on the character of that greatest of
l'aders. De Me'i eval's oWriptions have the piquancy
and interest posMc only because he was an actual eye
wiiiicss of thj scrnvs ar.d incidents of which he writes.
Their relia' iHt ' sr.) historical interest can be judged by
the fact that the ery conservative French Academy
publicly recommends them.

The case on Ethan Andrews' part, 1
have since learned, was not so had as
it appeared My aunt had written him
n bout me with a view to making a
match and had sent blm my picture,
but she said uothlng to me about thin,
leaving me to decide, as It were, in cob!
blood. The letter she had shown me
was his reply. They had their own
reasons for this course.
At first I rebelled, but at Inst In a fit
of desperation consented, taking the
leap as a hunted doe will Jump from a
cliff. I nsUed uo questions as to the
traits of the man Into whose amis I
was about to cast myself nor to see his
likeness. I was taken to the steamer
as a lamb led to the slaughter. The
steamer touched at Ilavaua.
When we steamed out of the har
bor a gentleman began to tramp back
and forth, apparently for exerctxe,
near where I was sitting. Presently
he noticed my forlorn appearance and
gave me an Involuntary look of sym
pathy. Then he went below, I Infer
red, to get rid of so lugubrious a slight
ns myself, but he soon rcappeurod with
n bundle of magazines aud deferential
ly offered them to me. This was the
beginning of an acquaintance that In
n few days ripened Into friendship.
Though he delicately refrained from
iisUIiir me the cause of my gloom, I
longed to tell some one and confided It
to him.
'I'oor child," he sold, a world of sym
pathy in bis voice, his inn n tier, and
especially lu Ills kindly browu eyes.
"Do you wonder," I asked, "that I
am the quintessence of misery?"
"I do not. At the same Unio 1 can
understand the motives of the man
who has sent for you. Doubtless he
missed the companionship of Ills own
coiintryiuen, especially of bis country
women, anil, remembering that 'love
U blind' and "marriage Is a lottery,'
concluded to rely upon your aunt's se
lection, especially since he could not
go and select for himself. No, I am
not prepured to uduilt that the man
you are to wed bus ttio unrefined In
stincts yoo Infer."
"And what do you think of my action
lu the matter?"
lie made no reply for some time,
lie waa pondering.
"You have evidently found It easier,"
I said, "to excuse blm than tne."
"My hesitation Is ruther that you
require a woman instead of a man to
Judge for you. Tbe adage 'Put yourself
iu hU place' is in this case Impracti
cable. No man can put himself In a
woman's place."'
"You can at least Judge whether I
have acted wisely or not."
"Under duress you have made a de
cision Involving a risk, but who shall
say whether your circumstances Justi
fied the risk or whether It Is a greater
one than If you had selected your life
partner after a study of blm during a
courtship In which you were blinded
by love and In which each participant
studies to conceal every defect?"
If tlio man w ho had sent for me hud
put tils proposition in such comfort
ing words I'm sure I Buotild have full
en Into bis arms. Possibly I gained
comfort from the modest manner lu
which my companion analyzed my
case, and more especially bla soothing,
kindly tone. At any rate, I was re
lieved and did not relapse into my for
mer slate till w tillered llio harbor.
Rut at pnrtlng with my friend, al
though he strove to cheer me. is soon
us he was gone I col lapsed.
The same evening a.t a hotel in Itlo
a curd came up to tne. and. brushing
away tears. 1 nerved myself to meet
the mouster who was to be my part
ner for life When Instead the corn
lnion of my voynge came Into tbe
room toy heart beat with fl wild hoe
that Providence bud sent him with a
reprieve He stood looking at me with
an amused look, then asked:
"Well, have you seen your brutal
partner? 1 can't presume to call bin
your lover."
"No (lis card has Just come lip, and
I supposed you were he. I preaume
he will be up In a moment"
