CHAPTER XVII—Continued
“What the German peoples desire
Is not subordination but a great
ruler who will put an end lo class
difference; who will choose a3 his
officials not those of noble birth but
those who are talented," continued
> the Emperor "You wi.l rule by the
Code Napoleon; you will establish
trial by Jury, and legal procedures
will be made public. Under your
rule all Germany will have a great-
er liberty, a greater equality, a
greater prosperity than heretofore
known,” Threatening, cajoling, flat-
tering. offering temptations of
power, honor, money, the Emperor
stalked about the room as though
he would soon close in on his en-
emy and demand complete capitu-
lation. Craftily he was playing his
game' pitting his offers of a king-
dom against the love of a woman.
Slowly he was weaving a web of

Austria recently adopted the right-
hand side rule for traffic.
Emperor took ills brother's band
and pressed It. tenderly. “Tha
very fact that I order the annul-
ment of this union Is proof that I
recognize the marriage. No, I of-
fer you this."
“It is an unfair compensation,
sire,” Jerome retorted. "It ^either
brings her any closer to me nor
does it permit me to have any
part in her life. 1 refuse to con-
sider any separation, legal or
otherwise." *
“By special act of the Council
of State your marriage to Made-
moiselle Patterson has alreatjWY
been annulled." Napoleon turned
bis back on his brother and paced
up and , down, up and down, his
footfalls sounding a muffled beat
in the silent room.
Jerome bit his lip to keep back
the angry torrent of wofds that
flooded his mouth. It was no use
to try to combat this powerful be-
ing who knew how to flatter,
praise, punish or persuade a re-
calcitrant subject. He would go
on and on. talking Interminably,
until he had beaten down any re-
sistance against himself, or sud-
denly come up upon the ent-tny
and take him by a storm of en-
forced commands.
"On October fifteenth your mar-
riage to the Princess Friedericka
will be celebrated at Wurttem-
berg.” the Emp-ror announced
coldly “Arrangements have al-
ready been completed You will
return to Mamma .and remain with
her imtil the time when you will
be escorted by a retinue to the
Court, where you will meet your
intended wife." He sat down onbe
more and picked up (he little col-
ored plus, playing with them, sift-
ing them through his fingers.
Jerome remained silent, consid-
ering his brother's words. He
realized now that,there”'vva's noth-
ing further that lie could say. Ha
was being sent into polite banish-
ment where his mother, who her-
self had agreed with her Em-
peror son about the marriage of
her youngest Mamma, too. ‘tvould
start her siege against him lust
as Napoleon had started his, and

in agreement. -
“Good!" Napoleon nodded and
once more took up his gam-j of
chess against the world.
Realizing that the interview
was terminated, Jerome saluted

all the fire of youth bubbling like

Yet before his eyes came always
the renienibranc^yof that slim fig-

thought sent a chill through Him.
He shuddered. All the long Weary
months they had been separated!
Winter had come and gone; another
j spring had c*3pt by. The applehlos-
' soms once "sweet along the old
roads in Normandy, had flung their
palo pine fragrance on the air, and
now It was summer, and his
thoughts Went swiftly winging
across three thousand weary miles
of water.
“I am not insensible to the honor
you confer upon me by offering me
the throne of Westphalia,” Jerome
began at last. “But I can iot accept
It leaving behind the memory of
the woman I worship; casting her
off as though I had forgotten her
completely.”
“Ah, now you aro becoming
tragic,’’ Napoleon declared. “I am
not asking you to forsake her utter-,,

an annuity to be granted her that
she* may live In comfort all the
rest of her life. In the dvbnt that

He raised the letter to his lips,
kissing the signature again and
a^aiu. Slowly lie walked down the
long corridor nnd out into the
warm summer day. He stepped
into the carriage bearing the royal
insignia, and directed the coach-
man to his mother's home.

CHAPTER XVI11
Once more the hot August sun
beat down on the Patterson gar-
den, warming the late roses into
luxuriant bloom, and making them
to send out a heavy overpowering
fragrance. The dusty road sent
up little flourishes of cloudy‘sand.
Shimmering, dry heat wavered
maddeningly up from the flag stone
walks. In the midst of the garden
underneath the shade of the great
old oak trees was spread a downy
white blanket. 'Rolling about,
chuckling, laughing, waving its
tiny fists about happily, lay a baby.
Bending over It, chucking It under
the chin and causing It to send up
little gurgles of glee, kneeled
Betsy. xShe smiled on the chttd.
fondly, and sat down beside it. j
