NAPOLEON QUIT FIRST WIFE TO FOUND DYNASTY Josephine Dies of Broken Heart After Emperor Leaves Her. Thl* t the second of two article, an Josephine, lint wife of Napoleon, whom he divorced in order to marry Marie Louise. Yesterday Don Garden told how Josephine aided Napoleon's early rise, but ho* she returned his impetuous love with coolness. 7he letters to Marie Louioe, revealinc anew phase of the French emperor as a lover, will he published in The Indianapolis Times. BY DON GARDEN Times Special Writer Following the Italian campa.gn. the fascinating Josephine still had a long road to ascend with the man In whose genius she believed. Eut she barely escaped disaster in the third year of her marriage. Napoleon was in Egypt, spreading his fingers to clutch at the East. Josephine, of course, remained in Paris and there became friendly with a young army officer. Gossiping tongues were not lacking to carry the news to her husband. Napoleon blazed in terrible wrath. **A divorce," he cried, ’publicly, scandalously. I will not be the laughing stock of the wastrels of Pans. I will wipe out those dandies and exquisites. I don’t know what I wouldn’t do if only what Junot has told me were not true—l love that woman so!’ The warrior came home, thundering violently that he would never forgive her. Eugene and Hortense de Beauharnais. her children, pleaded for her. Josephine wept. And the granite heart of Napoleon was melted. “I was not given a heart for nothing," he said, “and I can not remain unmoved when I see tears flowing." Josephine and Napoleon were reconciled. Events Move Swliflly Events moved swiftly now. Soon the Corsican, as first consul, was master of Fiance. The amiable, warm-hearted Josephine was enjoying her place in the sun. Her charm, her poise, her tact, quickly won the affections of the people and she proved a valuable aid to her ambitious husband. In 1804 Napoleon was crow’ned Emperor. Josephine shared his throne. Thus had she risen to the heights in the wake of the conqueror's sword. She was an Empress. But the mad ardor of her husband's love had long since cooled. As his power increased. Napoleon I became anxious to found a dynasty. I By now he knew that Josephine • could not give him an heir. He must find another wife. But while he j was surveying the field, he might i as well free himself of the current j Empress. When he announced his decision to her. Josephine wept, and faint- 1 ed. Thus time tears were of no avail. Josephine had served him well, but now her usefulness was at | an end. No pity, no sense of gratitude was permitted to interfere with Napoleon's overwhelming ambition to be father to a line of, Caesars. Given Ample Pension At last Josephine resigned herself to her fate. She was established at the palace of Malmaison,! near Paris, with an ample pension, j Soon the Emperor married the cool, j dignified Marie Louise. oi Austria, daughter of kings and emperors. This was a purely diplomatic marriage, but, wonder of wonders. Napoleon fell madly in love with his Austrian bride, as is revealed so fascinatingly in the recently discovered letters which will be published in The Indiana polis Times.

Fleeing in terror from Nazi rule over the soil on which they have lived all their lives, thousands of Saarlanders stream in a sorrowful procession across the border into France, panic-stricken exiles carrying all their possessions in pitiful bundles, and dragging their children with them. This picture shows refugees plodding into Metz, where hundreds arrive every day, as Nazi leaders swing the mailed fist to crush all opposition In their newly acquired realm.

court at Malmaison with her usual extravagance. Napoleon was annoyed by the debts she managed to pile up, and made pointed references to the orderly expenditures of Marie Louise, who w<Aild forego anew gown rather than go into debt. After Napoleon's defeat, which gave Paris to the enemy, Josephine fled to her castle in Navarre. When she heard of Napoleon's banishment to Elba, she said to her daughter Hortense: "If I were his wife, how gladly I would hurry' to him!" After that an overwhelming melancholy seized her. .The great heart of Josephine was broken. The dazzling light of Napoleon had gone out of her life. And in the darkness her mind became confused, her body grew weak. Finally she took to her bed and lapsed into delirium. Three names came from her parched lips, over and over: “Bonaparte, Marie Louise, Elba!” These were the stations along the road she had traveled—to victory, and defeat. There was no need living any longer. On June 29, 1814, she died. These two romances of the great Napoleon are highlights of the romantic literature of all time. When Marie Louise married him, she hated him. When Josephine married him, she certainly did not love him. But the hearts of both of these women, so strangely contrasted. were overwhelmed by Napoleon's forceful ardor. Now, for the first time, in these newly discovered letters which will be published by The Times, the world will be able to get an intimate glimpse of Napoleon’s greatest campaign his fierce struggle for the love of a woman reared to hate him. iCopvrisht. 1935. bv United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

By WALTER D. HICKMAN MEET one of the strangest,- the most sad and pitiful victims that modern fiction has given us in a long time. * Her name is Harriet Vve, temporary delivery agent for -the British postoffice of Priorminster in the south of Dorset in England, You will meet her in “Gallows’ Seed,” by Princess Paul Troubetzkoy, published today by Claude Kendall ($2.50). Harriet did not have an exciting life with her widowed mother in a little cottage with a small plot of ground where foxgloyj'e, gentian, strange roots and raised. Mrs. Vye, although not a regular doctor, cured most of the aches and pains of the young and old in the village that overlooked a great British prison, Harriet brought in a little money by using her bicycle to deliver mail during the war. With no young men in the village during the war, Harriet grew up a clean-minded child, with a love for the air of the farmlands in summer and the bleak landscape in dreary winter. She loved dogs, and between her and Peter, a big sheep dog who was her companion from puppyhood, grew a great love and understanding.

T)ETER is important because his death—shot by the man w'ho was responsible for Harriet’s disgrace as well as her death—was the silent evidence which put the noose around the neck of Capt. Sawers. j a war officer, who was gassed and went to live on a solitary farm near Priorminster. Sawers not only was hanged for l the murder of this simple, natural j girl, but he saw all her innocence \ and hope of living washed away be- j fore his very eyes. “Gallow’s Seed" is not a murder mystery, but a serious study of the cause of murder. It is one novel that is not overloaded with many characters introduced for the pupose to confuse the reader and shield the villain. It is not a story of stark horror because the author has gone deep into the mental emotional sides of the murderer. “Gallows Seed" is a powerfully written book and one that will establish the author as a really great writer. There is nothing shallow or cheap in the mechanics of this book.
