A Picture That Jarred the Nerves of a

M. Durand, a French picture buyer
of a century ago, bad little wisdom

pounded equally of childlike vanity
and genuine benevolence, was to figure
aa a patron of youthful genius.
One of the earliest commissions be
bestowed waa upon a young artist who
selected for hla subject a scene of
classic mythology," m which the as
sembled gods were .depicted upon
Mount Olympus. When It waa finish

to Inspect It His face clouded aa be

"Young man," be declared, 'you have
not treated me fairly. It la true 1 do
not pretend to know everything about

that gods and goddesses should be no

BLUFFED WON
A Dramatic Incident of the Fate
ful Hundred Days.
ONE OF NAPOLEON'S COUPS.
The Way of the Great Military Genius
Overoams tha Firat Oppoeition He
Encountered on the Maroh to Pari
After Hia Return From Elba.
A striking incident In the career of
Nnpoleou Is described by Camilla Co
cuaud In bis book, "Le Betour de l'Isle
d'Elbe" ("The Return From the Island
of Elba"). It describes bow be met the
first opposition offered to his march to
Paris after his escape from Elba:,
"Meanwhile Napoleon had traveled
by the Alps to Dauphlne, . advancing
.Into the Interior of the country. Hav
ing received Information on Sunday,
the 4th of March, the ; prefect of
risers bad Immediately, in concert
with the military authority,' taken
measures to deal with the atartllng alt.
nation. A detachment composed of a
battalion of the Fifth regiment of the
line and two companies of engineers
was dispatched to prevent the further
adrance of the emperor, -. .
"The meeting between this detach
ment and the little troop from the Isle
of , Elba took place on the' 7th' of
March near VtzWe, but hot before the
peasants bad bad time to hasten to In
form Napoleon of the. antagonistic dis
position of the officers commanding
the troops which bsd been sent from
Grenoble. In order to avoid the shed
ding of blood the emperor, ordered
Cambronne, who waa accompanied by
s. amall escort to enter Into treaty
with the, cocardee blanches (white
cockades). Cambronne found the de
tachment' ranged In order of battle.
The commanding officer refused to en
ter into -communlca Hon,.' and the sol
diers remained silent and gloomy. . '
"NspoleoD ' immediately took bis
share in the proceedings.- He gave the
order to hla grenadiers to put' their 1
rifles under their arms, In , order to
give proof of their pacific dispositions.
Then he ad rs need slone, while sons
of bis friends cried to the soldiers of
the line: ... j
"Friends, do not Orel There Is the
emperor, who wishes to apeak to you.'
- "Napoleon now found himself about
thirty meters from the Grenoble de
tachment. He dismounted and, his
arms crossed on bis breast remained
stand bag In the middle of the road.'
" 'Soldiers of the Fifth,' he said in a
loud tone 'soldiers of the Fifth, do
you recognize me?
. "1es. yesr they all replied.' u. ..
"Then Napoleon, throwing open his
gray cloak with a dramatis gesture
and pointing to hla breast With . his
bands, replied: ' ; -
"If there Is one among you who
wishes to kill bis general, bis emperor.
he can do it Here I amr . - .
"The response waa onanlmoua, sub
lime: 'Long live the emperor! Long
live the emperor r '
. "Breaking the ranks, their shakos at
the ends of the swords or on the bayo
nets, the soldiers of th Fifth, to whom
were Joined the engineers, ran toward
Napoleon, surrounded him. embraced
him, kissed hla handa, called blip their
preserver, tbelr father, their general,
their emperor. ' Finally the two de
tachment mingled together and be
came consolidated. Napoleon then had
2,000 men with whom to march on to
Grenoble. ' ? - .
"They took the road,' and It was s
triumphal march. The people of the
district cam to meet the column, ac
claiming Napoleon as the liberator of
the nation and as the living Incarna
tion of the revolution. .- . -.,
"The peasant wept with Joy. At
this sight th emperor, turning toward
hi officers, Droudt sod Bertrana, sau

Experience In Finding
Loat Property.
Twico Standish came near get
ting into trouble becaujso he picked
up lost property in tho street. The
articles really wero lost, and Stand
ish honestly found them, bntije had
Hard work to make anybody TKilieve
it . After hia second experience his
wife laid down a few rules for his
guidance.
"If you should find a million dol
lars piled up on tho sidewalk," eho
said, "you must just walk right
past and never offer to return one
of them to the owner."
' "How about keeping a , few
flunks for myself?" asked Stand
ih.: - ...
Mrs. Standish did not smile. "If
that is the way you talked to other
people when they accused you of
theft," she said, 1 don't wonder
that everybody thought you were
guilty.
"Never mind," returned Stand
ish; Ifs all over now, I never ex
pect to find anything again."
: And he did not find anything for
six months. At last, however, he
saw, an enameled cigar case lying
in a bypath forth and back which
they were walking in Central pork.
He stopped to pick it up. Ilia wife
pulled him back.'
"Don't I"; she cried. "Kemember
what happened to you twice be
forei"!,,;';, SUndish rubbed hia cheek rue
fully. "I hate like ths mischief to
let It lie there? he said. "If I don't
pick! it up somebody else will." !
"Very well, lot thorn. If other
people choose to go to jail that is
their lookout"
"It is a fine cigar case, all the
same, Standish grumbled ss tney
walked on. "It looks a good deal
like mine." ...
"That is all the more reason why
you should not meddle. You have
no earthly use for two cigar cases
exactly alike," " '
Standish walked along in stub

We saw two or three whale coming
np to blow about two miles away,
"The captain called the watch np,
and a couple of boat started for tb
whales, which were lying 'stilt, aa If

that we went at tbe rate of a mile a

wonderful sight It reminds me, now
that I think of It of Poe' description
of tb Interior of the maelstrom,

and was so black that It must bav

"Tbe pressure downward piled tbe
water up on both aide of na so that

It couldn't run In, for we were going
so fast It hadn't. time.

tbe wind, which seemed to be blowing
a hurricane against us. It looked as If
the whale would never get tired out
and w were going to sea at so amaz
