It's what has made us what we are,” holding*the family escutcheon high. There had been two separate kinds of evenings; those when Emil came and those when he did not come, and those when he did come had glowed like a rose. Now they all ran together drab and dull. It was very hard. “What's the matter? Why don't Emil come any more?” sald her sister in the first weeks of his staying away. “0, nothing,” sald Marcia. And Louise, having happy thoughts of her own, sald no more. And her father did not seem to notice.

The event ended the existence of the great em- pire which had been founded and sus- tained for 15 years by the incompara- ble genius and commanding will of Napoleon. The surrender of Paris, | which alreagdy had been deserted by the imperiai family and the court, soon was followed by the abdication of the emperor. Peace was concluded and Louis XVIII was recalled from his exile in England and restored to the “throne of his ancestors.” Napoleon was sent by the allied powers to the little Island of Elba, whence he was to escape a few months later to be- | FRESH 777 CLE2 = e who never by any chance lingered to talk with her. And as theirs had been a very quiet courtship, she was spared the public wonder at its lapse. But soon even this glimpse of him became a doudtful pleasure. To be spoken to by Emil as though she were somebody else was more than she could endure. And so she began to make pretexts for staying at home, letting Louise go out with her girl friends, and some- times, but not very often, with John Day. She was too Young, as Marcia carefully explained, to think of being in love. And with a slightly mutinous look in her blue eyes, Louise acqui- esced; she was always “biddable,” and only lengthened a little her dresses and kept on growing up. Every evening Marcia read to her father. “If you are sure you don’t care about going out it's mighty nice for me to have you at home. Are you sure you don't care?
