CHAPTER I.
SOME IN RACJS
An od man, clothed In picturesque
patches and tatter*, paused and leaned
on his stout oak staff He was tired
He www off his rusty felt hut. *w«-pt

day. and even now the journey's end.
near a# it really was, seemed far away.
Ah. but he would sleep soundly that
night, whether the bed were of earth
or of straw-. Ills peasant garb rather
enhanced his fine head. His eyes were
blue and clear and far-seeing, the eyes
of a hunter or a woodsman, of a man
who watches the shadows In the forest
at night or the dim, wavering lines on
the horizon at daytime; things near or
far or roundabout. His brow* was high,
his nose large and bridged; a face of
metre angles than contours, bristling
with gray spikes, like one who has
gone unshaven several days. His
hands, folded over the round, polished
Knuckle of hiH Staff, w < re tunned jh-aI
soiled, but they were long and slender,
and the callouses were pink, a certain
Indication that they were fresh.
The afternoon glow of the Septem
ber sun burned along the dusty white
highway. From w here he stood th«*
road trailed "ff miles behind and
wound up five hundred feet or more
above him to the ancient city of l»rei
berg. It was not a steep road, but a
long ar»d weary one, u steady, enerva- :
ting, unbroken climb. To the left the
mighty cliff reared its granite ride to
the hanging city, broke in a wide plain,
and then went on up several thousand
feet to the ledges of dragon-green Ice
and snow To the right sparkled and
Hashed a wild mountain stream on its
way to the broad, fertile v alley, which,
mistily green and brown aiul yellow
with vineyards anti hopes and corn,
spread out and on to the north, stop
ping abruptly at the base of the more
formidable chain of mountains.
Across the- lofty jumble of barren
rock and glacial deft, now purpling
and darkening as the sun mellowed in
its decline, lay the kingdom of Jugend- j
halt; and toward this the wayfarer
gazed meditatively, absorbing little or
nothing of the exquisite panorama.
By and By hi# gaze wavered, and that
particular patch in tlie valley, brown
from th“ beating of many iron-shod
horses. < aught and chained his Interest I
for a space. It was the military Held,
and it glittered and scintillated as*
squadron aft»r squadron of cavalry
dashed from glltc' To Side or wheeled ,
in hew ildering circles.
“The philosophy of war 1h to pre- j
pare for it." mused the old man, with*
a Jerk of his shoulders. “Prance! So
•ho mutter runs. There is a Napoleon j
in France, but no Bonaparte. Clatter
clatter! Bang-ban*He laughed
ironically and cautiously glanced at hie
watch, an article which inuat have coat
him many anfi many a potato patch.
He pulled hi* hat over hi* eyes,
scratched the Irritating stubble on hla
chin, and stepped forward.
T* hud followed yonder goose girl
ever since the Incline began. Oft the
little wooden shoes had lagged, hut
here they were, still u hundred yards
or more ahead of him. He had never
been close enough to distinguish her
features. The galloping of soldiers up
ard down the road from time to time
disturbed her Hock but she was evi
dently a patient soul, and relied tall- 1
antly upon her stlek ot willow. Once
or twice he had been Inclined to hasten
hla steps, to Join lair, to talk, to hear
the grateful sound of his own voice,
which he hail not heard since he passed
the frontier customs, yet each time he
had subdued the desire and continued
to lessen none of the distance between
them.
'Ph«--Httte-goose girl was Imtegrr rtrerf.
and the little wooden shoes grew heav
ier and heavier, and the little hare fee!
ached dully; but her heart was light
and her mind sweet with happiness.
Bay after (lav she had tended the geese

miles and now she was bringing them
Into the city to sell In the market on
the morrow. After that she would

Eagle, where she waited on patrons.

The man listened; she was singing
brightly, and the voice was sweet and

"She is happy; that ts some recum

Presently there was a clatter of
horses, a jingle of hit and spur arid

stone parapet. It would he wiser now

dozen mounted officers trotted past

In the heart of the beautiful
Kentish country, in Kngland,
near Wittersham. is a iiualnt
little cottage, "The Fair Hav
en," where tlie daughter of the
famous painter. Sir Kaurenz.

life, husilj engaged in literary

-Miss Kaurence Alma Tadema
Is a woman with a personality
os unique as her distinguished
father, and with a reputation
as a writer which even he
might covet. Yet here, lri her

ting forth dramas, poems and
novel*, this gifted woman at
tends to her own housework
and lives a free, independent
life, which gives her time to
pursue her own ideals a'nd de
velop her ow n spiritual life.
When Miss Alma Tadema

intimate friend of Eleanors,

The impression of one of her
friends Is that Miss Alma Ta

temperament is not unlike
Signora Duse.
Another of h r friendships
is with the Helgian poet. Mau

her English translations of
"Pel las and MelUande" and
several other plays of partic

Already Miss Alma Tadema s
bibliography begins to assume
some length. It Includes three
novels. “I.ove’s Martyr.” “The
Wings of Icarus" and "The
Kate Spinner": two books of
tales, called ”T^:e Orucltlx

four volumes of poems Issued

the lectures she delivered dur

mont, a' local newspaper writer or
some wit and a larger reputation, an
ticipated his fellow-workers of the
I’arts press by writing an elaborate
description of the disastrous defeat of
Napoleon on the evening of the day
i of the contest. His story was pub
lished in the "Independent." In the
text was the phrase, "The Old Guard
dies, hut it never surrenders."
"A few squares of the Guard," says
Hugo in the XIV. chapter of Cosette
(l/cs Miserables), "immovable in the
tlow of the rout as roeks in running
water, held out until night. Night
' approaching, and death also, they
awaited this double shadow- and yleld
I ed unfaltering to Its embrace. Each
regiment, isolated from the others,
and having no further communica
tion w ith the army, which was broken
In all directions, was dying alone.
. . At dusk, towards 9 o'clock In
the evening, at the foot of the plateau
of Mont Saint Jean, there remained
but one. ... It was commanded by
an obscure officer, whose name was
Cambronne. . . . They could hear In
th>* gloom of the twilight the load
ing of the pieces, the light matches,
like tigers’ eyes in the night, made
a circle about their heads. All the
linstocks of the English batteries ap
proached the guns, when, touched by
their heroism, holding the death mo
ment suspended over these men, an
English general, Ooville, according to
some; Maitland, according to others,
cried to them: 'Brave Frenchmen,
surrender" ” Then w*ns the moment
when Cambronne might have said—
"The guard dies, but does not sur
render."
