Napoleon the Fourth? But why be Fourth to anybody? Why not Riccoli the First? Or per haps just Napoleon Riccoli, like Gustavus Adolphus, Ghengls Kahn or Attlla the Hun. Out, after all, the world would choose lor itself. These names are given, not chosen. It would be for History to name him Napoleon the Fourth, Riccoli the Redeemer or Just plain simple Napoleon Riccoli like plain simple Julius Ceasar greatness unadorned. Meanwhile the first step. It Is the first step that counts. The first step the capture of the Impregnable stronghold, perhaps in these days the last truly impreg nable stronghold, the great citadel of Mekazzcn.

"Maybe I'd better fix my auto mobile, Two-Ways," he said to him self "the weather will be nice soon ond I will find it so useful. Oh, it was such a nice car. I never had to turn it around as it would go just as well forward as backward. But it's of no use when it won't go at all."

How glad I am that I am blessed so that I can understand the langu age of all animals and so htcy can understand me." He forgot about the time only a little while ago when he had felt so lonely and b)ue. Now he was very cheerful. "Dear me," he said briskly, "here I am just thinking pleasant thoughts and I'm not even making my list. Now, what shall I decide to put down first?" As hcjput the pencil to the paper he heatd sound outside not only the animal friends but some people vere talking and they were asking or WlllJyNUIy. What did this mean?

What should Napoleon the Fourth do to Le Sage?

I give you my word of honor there is. And as the brilliant Idea was yours, you shall have the first turn." And, banking on his luck, the good Le Sage would grin and take the revolver, and put it to nis tnick head and pull the trigger. And that would be the end of the good Le Sage, for there would be, as he told him. a cartridge In the revolver and it would have five companions. In fact the pistol would be fully loaded! Ha, ha, the good Le Sage. Such a clever man. Such a rising star in the Secret Service. Yes, that would do. That would dispose of Le Sage. And meanwhile how to dispose of oneself now for the nlglit? The other Napoleon had a carriage in which to sleep. ... A week later. Blistering, blast ing, devastating heat. Have you over known anything like this before, Joe?" asked Otho Belieme, moistening dry lips with sticky tongue, as he turned to his right-hand man. 'No, mate, never," replied Joe Mummery, shifting his rifle from one sore shoulder to the other, "Never. And I've bin up the Per sian Gulf in a tin gun-boat all one summer. "Wish I could die now and straight to 'ell for a little coolness,' observed Sailor Harris, marcnlng or rather staggering on Otho' left hand. "Well, you will soon, I should think, very probably," comforted Joe Mummery. What struck Otha Bellcme as being entirely wrong, contrary to common sense, sound theory, and all that he had ever been taught on the subject, was the fact that old Tant de Soif, who appeared to live chiefly upon wine, beer, absinthe, and other alcohol that he could get hold off, was undoubtedly the most cheerful, spry and active mem ber of the whole section. "Hot, my child?" he would reply to a grumbling observation of Pere Poussin. "You drink too much That Is why you feel what you coll the heat. It'll be hot later on, grant you, when we get nearer to the Mekazzen country. . . , Nice deep stone defiles between nice high stone mountains. ... No air. . . . Stone hotter than the sun. Everything almost white." "White lime-stone?" Inquired Otno Belieme. 'No, white-hot," replied Tant de Soif succinctly. And in the fullness of time and the emptiness of the great desert, the section of the Legion halted, piled Its arms, threw down Its knap- sacks, and Instantly set to work to erect the four walls of the square perimeter camp In which It would ouud a fortified post, and these so.
