CHAPTER XVII. IX PORT AT LAST.

Day hail broken before the several denizens of The Wilderness had all returned to their homes, the police finished their inquiries, and all come back to its normal quiet. Mrs. Westmacott had been left sleeping peacefully with a small chloral draft to steady her nerves and a handkerchief soaked in arnica bound round her head. It was with some surprise, therefore, that the admiral received a note from her about 10 o'clock asking him to be good enough to step in to her. He hurried in, fearing that she might have taken some turn for the worse, but he was reassured to find her sitting up in her bed, with Clara and Ida Walker in attendance upon her. She had removed the handkerchief arid had put on a little cap with pink ribbons and a maroon dressing jacket daintily fulled at the neck and sleeves. "My dear friend," said she as he entered. "I wish to make a last few remarks to you. No, no," she continued, laughing as she saw a look of dismay upon his face, "I shall not dream of dying for at least another !0 years. A woman should be .".shamed to die before she is 70. I wish, Clara, that you would ask your father to step up. And you, Ida, just pass me my cigarettes and open me a bottle of stout." "Nov.-. then." she continued as the doctor joined their party, "I don't quite know what I ought to say to you, admiral. You want some very plain speaking to." 'Pon my word, ma'am, J. don't know what you are talking about." "The idea of you at your age talking of going to sea and leaving that dear patient little w^e of yours at home, who has seen nothing of you all her life! It'c all very well for you. You have the life, and the change, and the excitement, but you don't think of her eating her heaxt out in a dreary London lodging. Yon men are all the same." "Well, ma'am, since you know so much, you probably know also that I have sold my pension. How am I to live if I do not turn my hand to work?"

Mrs. Westmacott produced a large registered envelope from beneath the sheets and tossed it over to the old seaman. »s, "That excuse won't do. There are votir pension papers. Just see if they are right."

He broke the seal, and out tumbled the very papers which he had made over to McAdani two days before. "But what am I to do with these now?" he cried in bewilderment. "\rou will put them in a safe place, or get a friend to do so, and if you do you:duty you will goi to your wife and beg her pardon for having even for an "instant thought of leaving her."

The admiral passed his hand over his rugged forehead. "This is very good of you, ma'am," said he, "very good and kind, and I know that you are a stanch friend, but for all that these papers mean money, and though we may have been in broken water of late we are not quite in such straits as to have to signal to our friends. When we do, ma'am, there's no one wc would look to sooner than to you." "Don't lr ridiculous," said the widow. "You know nothing whatever about it, and yet you stand there laying down the law. I'll have my way in the matter, and you shall take the papers, for it is no favor that I am doing you, but simply a restoration of stolen proper $ "How's that, ma'am?" "I am just going to explain, though you might take a lady's word for it without asking any questions. Now, what I am going to say is just between j'oufour and must go no further. I have mv own reasons for wishing to keep it from the police. Who do you think it was who struck me last night, admiral?" "Some villain, ma'am. I don't know liis name." "But I do. It was the sn,mo man who ruined or tried to ruin your son. It was :ny onlv brother, Jeremiah." "Ah!" "I will tell you about him—or a little about him, for lie has done much which I would not care to talk of nor you to listen to. He was always a villain, smooth spoken and plausible, but a dangerous, subtle villain all the same. If I have some hard thoughts about mankind, I can race tliein back to the childhood which I spent with my brother. He is my only living relative, for my other brother, Charles' father, was killed in the Indian mutiny. "Our futher was rich, and when he died ho made a good provision both for Jeremiah and for me. He knew Jeremiah, and he distrusted him, however, so instead of giving hi:u all that ho. meant him to have ho handed mo over a part of it, telling me with what was almost his dying breath to hold it in trust for my brother and to use it in his behalf when he should have squandered or lost all that ho had. This arrangement was meant to bo a secret between my father and myself, but unfortunately his words were overheard by tho nurse, and she repeated them afterward to my brother, so that he came to know that I held somo money in trust for him. I suppose tobacco wfil not harm my head, doctor? Thank you then I shall trouble you for the matches, Ida." She lit a cigarette and leaned back upon tho pillow, with the blue wreaths curling from her lips.

XI. —CONQUEST OF EGYPT.

I Bonaparte returned to Paris on the 5th of December, 1797. His coming was heralded. The democratic DirectI ory must receive him in the name of the people but the act of hero-worship was embarrassing. The people of Paris must have a spectacle and tho Jacobin administration must glorify the hero of

Italy. Arrangements were made at the Luxembourg Palace for a reception— first of many such—to the child of tho Republic.

The court of the palace was splendidly decorated and the elite gathered for the welcome. Tho occasion was not without its peril to Napoleon. He must bear himself like a true democrat—beginning to be idolized. Symbolical statues of Liberty, Equality, and Peace were set up in the hall where hung the memorial banner commemorating the victories and spoils of the Italian campaign. There, too, was placed an altar of the Fatherland. Beautiful women thronged the galleries. Tho Directory sat to receive the conqueror. Talleyrand introduced the young general to the assembly. The statesman's speech was long, flattering and casuistical. To one paragraph was added this significant clause: "Far from apprehending anything from his [Napoleon's] ambition, I believe that we shall one day be obliged to solicit him to tear himself from tho pleasures of studious retirement. All Franco will bo free but perhaps he never will such is his destiny." Barras, president of the Directory, also spoke. Napoleon bore himself with great modesty, pronouncing a brief speech of congratulations on the improved condition of France.

The reference to "studious retirement" in Talleyrand's address was not bad. It was an allusion to Bonaparte's election to membership in the National

BATTLE OF THE PYRAMIDS.

Institute of France. This was an honor of which he was very proud. In accepting tho distinction, he said, referring to the members of the Institute, "I feel assured that before I can be their equal I must long bo their scholar. True conquests—the only ones which leave no regret behind them—aro thoso which are made over ignorance. The most honorable occupation for nations is the contributing to the extension of human knowledge. The true power of the French Republic should henceforth be made to consist in not allowing a single new idea to exist without making it :t part of its projierty." For sometime after this, Napoleon was wont to sign himself, Member of the National InstiLU

Such ceremonies as thoso attending his roception in Paris were always regarded by Bonaparto as so much mummery—quite necessary in the make-up of glory but very cheap. Not a month elapsed before tho General became restless to a degree. To Bourrienne, his secretary, l:e said: "Bourrienne, I do not wish to remain here thero is nothing to do. They [the Directory] aro unwilling to listen to anything. I seo that if I linger here, I shall soon loso myself. Everything wears out here my glory has already disappeared. This little Europe does not supply enough of it for me. I must seek it in tho East, the fountain of glory. However, 1 wish first to make a tour along tho coast, to ascertain by my own observation what may be attempted. I will take you, Lannes, and Sulkowsky with mo. If tho success of a descent on England appear doubtful, as I suspect it will, the Army of England shall become tho Army of tho East I will go to Egypt."

Bonaparte was now made commander of the new army, which was alleged to bo intended for an invasion of England. Oil the whole, it seems that ho never seriously contemplated a descent on tho English coast. He was too prudent for that. But ho lent himself to the popular whim, and made as though ho would invade the British Isles. Tho Directory, meanwhile, gavo him no orders. It had already come to pass that he did much as ho pleased. On the 1

Oth

of February, 1798, ho set out from Paris with his secretarj', his aide Sulkowsky, and General Lannes. Ho wont to Etaples, Ambleteuso, Boulogne, Calais, Dunkirk, Fumes, Niewport.Ostond, and the Isle of Walcheron and then returned to Paris by Antwerp, Brussels, Lille, and St. Quentin. Everywhere on the journey ho showed the greatest activity and discernment. His glance shot into every situation. Ho informod himself of the conditions existing along tho coast, but did not prosecnto the scheme of invasion.

The superiority of Napoleon over the men of his epoch lay in his far-reaching »azo and comprehension of great things.

His vision flashed over the European landscape like a gleam of light. At ^twenty-eight he had already discerned that the best way to afflict Great Britain was by destroying her influence in the East. Out of this notion sprang his project of conquering Egypt. Beyond

Egypt lay all Asia. "Europe," said he, "is a molehill. There have never been great empires and revolutions except in the East, where thero are (500.000,000 men." The Directory readily assented to his wishes. It is in evidence that that body was more than willing to have the ambitious commander out of Europe.

On tho 12th of April, 1798, Napoleon was appointed General-in-Chief of the Army of tho East. Virtually he was to go where he would, and accomplish what ho could. The matter once determined, ho brought everything to results with the greatest rapidity. He made Toulon the rendezvous for his army and fleet. He gathered to his standard a retinue of the learned, mostly members of the Institute. Ho would disseminate the civilization of tho West in the effete Orient. En route, he would conquer Malta, still nominally under the dominion of the Knights. That done, he would debark at Alexandria, overthrow the dominion of the Mameluke Beys, and conquer and colonize the land of the Pharaohs. Admiral Brueys was called to tho command of the fleet. Napoleon ordered his equipage to be prepared as for a conqueror, a governor, a man of letters.

The Egyptian expedition sailed from Toulon on the 19th of May. Tho General's ship was the Orient. On the 10th of June, tho squadron came to Malta, and that place, with its strong defenses, was—partly by intrigue and partly by assault—taken from the Knights. The French flag was raised over tho fortress, and many of tho Knights joined tho expedition. Meanwhile, an English fleet, under command of Nelson, passed the French flotilla without discovering it sailed on to Alexandria paused there, and then turned to the northeast, believing that Brueys had made for tho coast of Syria.

All this inured to the advantago of the French. Napoleon was able to reach Alexandria without attack. On tho 1st of July the column of Septimus Severus, rising in tho distance, caught tho sight of the French commander, and gave token of a safe arrival. The army was hastily debarked but not sufficient care was taken to put the: French fleet in a defensible position. Without a moment's delay, the city was assailed by tho invader, and after somo desultory fighting was captured. The conqueror of Italy easily made himself master of the city which Alexander had founded as the capital of tho world.

But all Egypt was not to be so easily taken. Bonaparte' proclaimed his mission as that of liberator and pacificator. The Turks and Mamelukes should be expelled fctit tho people of Egypt should otherwise have peace.' The nation

Should

bo' raised from the' dust. New institutions should bei founded bat the old institutions, And in' particular the Mo-, hamm4dan religion, should be respected. -Extend to the ceremonies prescribed by the Koran," said the General to his soldiers, "atid" to the mosques the same toleration which you have" shown to the synngogues-^to the religion of Moses aud 6f Jesus Christ.''

For six days Bonaparte had his headquarters in Alexandria. He then removed to the house of the sheik of Damanhour, and there organized bis expedition vp the Nile. A flotilla was ordered to ascend the river, while the army marched up tlio left bank. By a strong wind from the north tho boats were driven ahead, and tho land forces were obliged to advance without naval support. On the 14th of July, the Mamelukes, who, falling back from Alexandria, had been organized into an army under Murad Boy, made a stand at tho village of Chebreisso, and were forced from that position by the French but tho action was not decisive. Meanwhile, the flotilla was assailed by tho enemy from both banks of tho Nile. Tho Mamelukes mounted small cannon on, camcln, and inflicted not a little, loss on tho Europeans. Tho French boats, separated from tho army, were galled by theso attacks. On the 25k-d of July, a junction was ejected, but not until a great battle had decided tho campaign.

The conflict occurred on tho plain within sight of tho pyramids of Gizeh. It was perhaps tho most picturesquo battle of modern times. The French army was drawn up in squaros, oil tho Egyptian sands. Tho artillery was planted at tho angles of tho squares. Tho commanders wero Generals Desaix, Illeber, Berthier, and Menou—under the eyo of tho General-in-chiof. Tho plains round about wero covered with heavy masses of Mameluko horsemen. Bonaparte addressed his soldiers after his manner, in a sort of Pindaric apostrophe. lie called their attention to the setting of the scone, and reminded them that from the summit of Khufu's pyramid forty ccuturiex irerc lookhnj down ujion them. Tho battle was bloody and decisive. Tho Mamelukes wero overwhelmed by thousands. Tho officers on tho French flotilla, descending tho river on the next day, saw on the bank literal heaps of the Mameluko dead which tho rising Nilo was gathering a«d bearing out to sea. Murad Bey fled to Upper Egypt, and tho French entered Cairo.

Four days after the battle of tho Pyramids, Napoleon wroto to his brother Josoph, saying, "Egypt is richer than any other country in tho world in corn, rice, vegetables and cattle. But tho jieople aro in a state of utter barbarism. We can not procure money, oven to pay tho troOps. I may be in Franco in two months. Engage for mo a country-house near Paris or in Burgundy, where I mean to pass tho winter." To this was added a list of things necessary to bo gent out from France.

The purposo of tho General to return to France, but to leave an army of occupation in Egypt, is sufficiently shown in those orders, in which the comedy of war is grotesquely figured ou the background of statesmanship.
