Be made advancee to Uadame Le Sage, and when caught he tried to murder her hueband But all thie te in the vaet. and Uafor Rtccoli 1(11 believet to a "Han of Deatlny." Chapter t NAPOLEON AGAIN MAJOR NAPOLEON RICCOLI rode at their bead, looking, ao cordlng to bis wont, aa Napoleonic aa possible. Thus, be resected, must bis great ancestor well, no, perhaps sot exactly ancestor bis great namesake, prototype, (ore runner, exemplar, wbat you will, bare looked on Use Retreat from Moscow. Not that thla Napoleon was re treating, of course. Au contratre, advancing. Very much so. Advanc ing a good deal farther than some people proposed, , expected or In tended. Ho, hot Advancing indeed . And with an independent command. An independent command at last; the chance for which this Man of Destiny bad waited so long; worked and waited, plotted and schemed. And actually on the very borders of Mekazzenl "Well, turn over and have an other snooze, mate, and don't pinch all the clothes," said Sailor Harris, and the four Englishmen laughed, causing a crapulous and liverish old legionnaire, known as Tant de Solf, to growl that, by the Name of a Name, the sacred dogs of Eng lishmen grew madder every day. They know that when they bait they will lie down as they are; lie down on the wet ground beneath the pitiless rain, the stinging eleet, or the driving snow; unfed, nn warmed, unsheltered. It will be Im possible to light fires, to cook food, to boll water, and make coffee. However, they are soldiers, and take life and death as It come. But a few days ago men suffered' sunstroke. Tonight they suffer cold, exposure. Heat-stroke then; frost bite now. Some may die of , , . Bang! What Is thatT Automatically the little column staggers to a standstill. Major Na poleon Rlccoll halts, wheels about, and rides back. There Is confusion In the ragged straggling ranka. An attack? 'So. only a single shot. Only young Ramononex, It ap pears, has bad enough. The Legion shrugs Its shoulders. I An attack? Only a single shot Now the world should bear some thing; hear of a newer and a greater Napoleon. ' Emperor Napoleon Rlccoll Em ' peror of the- Sahara. Emperor of Northern Africa. j, S . Emperor of the Worldl r '- ;. " And meanwhile It was extremely , eold, and the future Emperor had no handkerchief. , At the heels of the weary and halt-starved horse that had the hon ' or to carry Major Napoleon Rlccoll a horse named Marengo after an other famous charger strode Ma jor Napoleon Rlccoll'a humble rela tive, henchman, and fervent ad mirer, the excellent Sergeant-Major yittorelll. , 1 Excellent Indeed from tne point ot . view of his superior officers, . though the soldiers of his Section , jnsed other, many other, adjectives . (when describing Sergeant Major yittorelll. i ' Wbat his men knew of Sergeant : Major Vlttorelll was his harshness, brutality, love of fault-finding, mer ciless cruelty when provoked, his - Injustice; and, be It admitted, his ' ability, hardihood, and high cour age. "Thought you said this Africa taas a 'ot country," grumbled le 'Legionnaire William Bossum to ieomrade Sailor Harris, marching on 'bli right, near the bead ot the .little column led by Major Na jpoleon Rlccoll. "So It Is 'ot In the 'ot parts and the 'ot times," was the cold Ireply. "You'll he grumblln' be cause tt'a too 'ot, soon." "Roll on, the 'ot," observed Legion naire William Bossum, and, bent lalmost double against the bitter ichlll ot the Icy blast and beneath the 'weight ot his snow-laden pack and sodden clothing, he breathed hard lopon numbed fingers. I " 'Taln't no worse for you than what It Isn't (or nobody else. Is Itt" lexpoetulated Bailor Harris. "Ar," agreed Bossum. "Thero'a aomethlnk In that, as the monkoy said wbon ha sat on the bee-'lve." "Coin' strong, boyT" said Joe Mummery to his left-hand man. "Ehf Whatt 'Pon my word, I be lieve I was asleep," replied Otho Belleme. Everyone to bis taste. Le Legion naire Ramonones will not suffer' from the cold tonight . 1 "Au conlralM, it may be ot heat that he will complain," suggests old Tant de Solf, rubbing the end ot his blue nose with the back of bis shrivelled hand. ' "It will be of heat that we shall all be complaining In a day or two, look you," observed old Tant de Soli's "pal," another old man, vet eran of Cochin China, Madagascar, Senegal, and the Western Sahara in general. " . , Those of us who do not die ot cold up here . . . When we've crossed these mountains and get down into the valleys and the plains, we shall be In the hottest place In the world. I know, I who speak. I have soldiered there be fore. The Sultan ot Mokasten hunt ed us and hounded us and cut off stragglers, but it was tbe heat that killed us." "Hold your tongue, my grand child," Interrupted Tant de Solf. "You talk too much, like all young people." As the beard of "Pere Pouesln" was not Quite so long, nor quite so light a grey as tbat of Tant de Solf, nor his years ot sorvlce probably quite as many, It was the custom ot Tant de Soit to treat bis follow as a boy. A garrulous old gentleman, espe cially when undor the influence of alcohol hla normal condition he suffered sorely though not in si lence, from Tant da Solf's sense ot duty, the duty of keeping his Junior In bis place, and In a sense ot his unworthlness. "Am I, then, a child that . , '." Yes. In Intolloct," interrupted Tant da Solf, "though your never still tongue runs in an unwise old head." Pere Poussln fell silent. "You drink too much, you know," observed Tant de Soil, "Far too much." "What?" ejaculated Pere Poussln. "So. Rum Is bad for boys. It stunts their growth and fuddles tbclr intellects. "It any," he added. (Co,rrkl, mi, r, A. SletA CV) Major Napolton Rleoon ravelvai mighty plans In his head, tomorrow. Christian Edler .
