Prince Carol will sail for Europe on August 28. ' &YNOP8I3. CHAPTER I. Writing long aftar the vents described, Jack Calder, Scottish former, tells how, In hlo childhood, the fear of invasion by Napoleon, at that time complete master of Europe, bad (tripped the British nation. Following: a false alarm that the French had landed, Jim Horscroft, the doctor's son, youth of fifteen, quarrels with his father over joining tfce army, and from that Incident a lifelong1 friendship begins between the boys. . CHAPTER It. When Jack Is eighteen his father's brother dies and his daugh ter, Edle. seventeen years old. comes to live with heificle. Attractive personally, Intensely romantic, and seemingly feeling little sorrow tor her father's death, the girl Is something of a puzzle to the simple folk of the Calder home. CHAPTER III. Edle makes a clay. thing of Jack's affections, and though al ways somewhat in awe of her, a feeling of deep love for his cousin develops in the boy's heart Edle reproaches him for Staying at home In idleness .while his country 4s at war. Stung by her words, he declares his intention of joining the army at Once, but she persuades him to stay. He tells her he loves her and she apparently returns his affection. ma and then hummer It itnwn with n taAriisa iv. dim norscrori returns .n k,, m, i,i n i..i. .....v,. from Edinburgh, where he Is studying ",c A L . medicine. Jack tells his chum of his en- qnd Btralghter than we. All that pari gagement to Edle. believing the Klrl is of Belgium was covered with Brltlsli sincere. Some days later he witnesses an j troops at that time, for the. Onardi together, and Indeed I had a kind o contempt for them, as folk nlwayt have if thoy live near a border. Bul the two regiments (bat were with iii now were as good comrades as could be wished. Tho Fifty-second had n thousand men In the ranks, and then were many old soldiers of the Penln. sula among them. They enme fron Oxfordshire for the most pnrt. Tin Nlnety-flfth were a rifle regiment, and had dark-green conts Instead of red It was strange to see them loading, foi they would put the bull In a greasj unmistakable display of affection between Sale and Jltn and reproaches his friend. Jim tells hi i Idle has promised to marry him, she Ifl jshing at the Idea of her en gagement lo Jack. The two seek the girl and she declares only fondness for Jack but love for Jim. CHAPTER V. Jack, though deeply hurt, accepts the situation. News of the downfall of Napoleort and the end of the war reach the country. Walking along the coast, Jim and .Calder witness the landing of a stranger from a small boat, He Is completely exhausted and In a dy ing condition. ' They revive him and against Jim's advice Jack takes him to the Calder home, where he remains as a guest.' He gives his name as Bonaven ture de Lapp and Is evidently a man of distinction. CHAPTER VI. De Lapp's fine manners and stories of adventure greatly attract Mrs. Calder and Edle and he is "at home" at onee, causing vague disquietude to Jack and open disgust to Jim. H .lends a letter addressed to the king oi Sweden, and Jack naturally wonders what manner of man he has introduced to his home. CHAPTER VII. Major Elliott, neigh bor and close friend of the Calders and Jim Horscroft, recognizes De Lapp as a French officer he has met In Spain, and the two seem to reach some sort o, un derstandlngHorRcroft goes back to Ed inburgh to- resume his studies.

It was very nec essary that Wellington should spread out all his force, for Honey was be hind the screen of his fortresses, nnd of course we had no means of saying on what side he might pop out, except that ho was pretty sure to come the way that we least expected him.

And now I come to a bit of my story that clean makes me wish that I had never taken the Job of telling It in hand. But you can find the cause and reason of ' everything In the" books about history, and so I shall Just leave that alone and talk about what I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears. The regiment to which our friend had been appointed was the Seventy first Highland Light Infantry, which wore the red coat and the trews, and had its depot in Glasgow town.
