1 arrived at N. late at night ou a
visit to my uncle and ou ariaiug the
next morning. aa was uatural. went to
the wludow to have a look at tuy sur
rouudtug*. There was a hill uot far
distaut, ou the top of which was a j
house built lu the forui of a hexagon
There were other things to tee, but
somehow the he\as<>ual bouse drew
u?y atteutiou from all of them. It
stood out aloue. 1 saw uo one moving
In or about it. but iu aouie of the win
dow* there were evidences that it was
Inhabited.
The drat tiling i said to my uncle at
breakfast was, "Who Uvea iu the hex
agonal house ou the hill?"
"What made you ask that?" said ui>
"1 don't kuow," 1 replied.
"There's Just one thing 1 wish to
warn vuu about while you are here.
Let that house atone."
After breakfast 1 walked up to the
hexu^oual Uttuifi aud raug the bell.
"I htve to stay In towu for a few
days.** I said to the luau who opened
the door, "aud am looking for a place :
t > sleep nights."
It took me au hour and coat half a
d?aeu Ilea to tuduce him to rent me a

and wife in the rear basement aa care
takers. That eteuiug at dinner 1 told
my uncle that it w as too louely for me,
aud I Intended to take the night train
for home. Instead of going to the sta
tion, 1 went to the hexagonal houae,
was admitted aud showu to my room,
the second story front, east.
"You wou't feel creepy sleeping all
aioue up here, will you?" asked the
caretaker before withdraw lug.
"No. Vi hy do you ask that? Any
thing peculiar about the room?"
"Oh. uo; uothiug especial. Least

be down the stairs, his footstep*
.vhoiug loudly through the boose.
t t ? -til been Numbering for perbaiw
an hour wbtti 1 awoke with a start.
For a uwment 1 could not locate uiy
vlf liieu I remembered I was Napo?
ieon tiie Great. I was at St Helena.
I was lying la tuy bedroom lu the
louse at Lougwwod 1 was very uu
coinfortabk. 1 was UL My stomach
was ou (ire. Ah, I remembered! 1 bad
l*?eu Ul for some time, and that Infer
nal Kngilsh doctor was poisoning me.
A ; ! ,?(? points came to me In ijuick
aucceaolon Wby did 1 get myself Into
this trap? Wby did 1 surrender to
l*.-rtidtous Albion? 1 should have
known that they would risk no second
escape, as from ?iba Ab, If I bad

Lud at Jeua, Wagram. Austeriltx! But
they bad starved or freaen in Itussla
I opposed Wellington with troops otH ,
cered by men Ibey did not trust, and
the officers no longer bad faith lu me.
My star bad set. Besides. 1 was 111. !
This infernal trouble or something like !
it w as ou me then.
Wby am 1 left alone by my attend
anls? Where is my valet? Where Is
Mouihoiou, Las Casas? Where are
they alt? 1 would call the doctor to
relieve me of this Infernal pain If I
did not know he would give me more
f bis poison. 1 wish 1 bad now some
reul poisou that would let me out of
this? the bag 1 gave Constant to keep
tur me, frv?h as when 1 drst received
it from the chemist. 1 found it on
Ui.u dreadful night at Fontalneblea
Had it U-eu its original strength I
would have been spared that humlllat- '

so slowly! What suspense!
What, you, l> Kughieu! Oo back to
your grave! Go, go. 1 say! It was not
my fault. They carried out an order
that 1 would have countermanded had
I known lu time. They were always
Li a hurry to obey me when 1 wished
them to be slow. Go back, I say, or
If you must haunt your slayer turn to
him who blundered. 1 hate him, as
you do. lu shooting you he coscen- j

It put me here on this desolate island
to die a lingering death.
Gone? 1 can't stand this. I must

a [>enknlfe I can open a vein. The
knife I have. Shall I get tt? Twice
I tried when about to fall from the top

failed. Kate has never deceived me.
Fate has worked in my case on con
verging lines. Fate will not let me
take my own life. Nevertheless I can
Constant will get the knife for me.
Constant!
No one answered.
1 lay deliberating whether I should
end it alt or let my disease finish me
till 1 fell asleep.
Ttaeu I dreamed that It was all orer.
1 was ia a casket perched upon an im- 1
mouse fuueral car. passing down the
Champ* d'Elysee. The sidewalks, the
windows, the housetops, were all
crowded with vast throng* of people j
who as 1 paswd uncovered, some of
thein waring. some crossing them- ,
?efrw* til excitedly lamenting. Ah.
my Frwtch people, without your na
tive enthusiasm 1 coukl not have butu
bkul Europe!
But this Bourbon klug! Kool! How
dure be reawukeu that spirit which
has been slowly living? Let hlin look
out (or his throne It Is more totter
ing than this casket away up where
It sways with every rut In the street.
Weii, my body is at the luvalkles.
Now 1 uiay rest.
1 was awakeued by a slight uuise
aud oiteued uiy eyee. It was morning.
The caretaker bail cook* Into my room
aud was setting down a pitcher of hot
water. 1 was myself But 1 had a
crawly feeling from the crown of my
head to the sole of uiy feet as If 1 had
beeu keel hauled.
"Not feellti' very well this uioruln'.
sir?" remarked the caretaker.
"So; I've had an ugly dream."
"Uu? ilk! the wiuiler get broken,
sir?"
"1 dou't know. I dklu't know It ;
was broken.
"Aud there's L>U-?>d on the right arm
of your ulghtshlri."
1 saw tbf broken window aud the
blood aud was taken all aliack.
"What doe* it menu?" 1 usked.
"The sash was uallod. sir." was the
only reply.
I arose, dressed myself aud weut
straight down to uiy uncle. Quding
him at breakfast. He was astonished 1
to see me, aud I told him that 1 had
not gone h >uie. but had slept In the
hexagoual bouse. He started.
"Well?" he asked eagerly.
I gave him uiy experience.
When 1 had finished be arose from
the table and paced the floor.
"What do you think about the bro
keu window and blood ou my night
shirt?" I asked.
"Have you the nerve to hear how
you have narrowly escaped death?"
"Yea; I have."
"Well. then. Ilsieu. The last man
who lived In the hexagonal house was
one who had lost his reason. He fan
cied himself to be Napoleon 1. One
morning bis body was found under the
window of the room you slept In."
"Great beaveus!" I exclaimed, with
a shudder
My uucle went to the telephone aud
called up Professor Starkweather of
the University of D? located a few
miles distant, aud conversed with him.
after which 1 was lu formed that sev
eral of the professors would be down
within an hour to take my statement
1 was too shaken up to eat any
breakfast, so I went aud walked In
the garden till the professors arrived.
They took me Into a room and heard
my story from beginning to end. Then
Professor Starkweather asked me
some questions.
"Have you read much of Napoleon's
life?" ho askod.
'?Nothing but a little history, which j
1 have forgotten."
"Did yoa know that Napoleon be
lieved that the English were poisoning
him while be was at St Helena?"
"No."
"Did you know who were with him ,
there?"
"No."
"Did yon know that Constant was
Napoleon's valet aud that Napoleon
gave him a bag supposed to contain
poison with which Napoleon tried to
commit suicide just before his abdica
tion at Fontalnebleu?"
"No."
"Did you know that in 1840 King
Louis Philippe brought Napoleon's
body to Prance from St Helena and
that the Napoleonic enthusiasm ex
cited largely contributed to the revo
lution which dethroned that king and
made Louts Napoleou president?"
"No."
"Did you know that Napoleon's j
shooting of the Duke d'Enghien con
centrated the European powers against
hlar
"No."
"Uentlemen," said Professor Stark
weather to his colleagues, "it's a clear
case of reincarnation.'*
"Rather." said Professor Markland.
dean of the medical college, "It proves
that insanity may In certain forms be
a brain disease aud that the germs of
the patient who had formerly inhabit
ed the room worked upon this young
man."
"Why, then, has he recovered so
suddenly?"
"insanity in any event is affected by
pure air, sunlight and other revivify
ing causes. The young man was not
exposed long enough to enable the
germs to get a permanent foothold."
"But how do you account for the
knowledge the yonng man did uot pre
viously have of events in the life of
Napoleon f *
"i'sychologically considered, I admit
my position Is weak, but you must re
member that there Is such a thing as
a transference of soul. However, that
part of the problem Is In your field
rather than in mine. We study the
body, you the soul."
"There Is one point in the story that
looks suspicious," said Professor
Blenker. "Napoleon calls oo Con- j
stant Constant was not at St Hele
na."
"That may be explained." replied
Professor Starkweather, "by the fact
that Napoleon was near his end and
likely delirious. He bad formerly
called on Constant for everything."
While they were wraugilng four
more of the faculty of the university
arrived, and all agreed that my state
ment should be taken down at once
while the Impression was fresh on my
mind. One of their number was ap
pointed to write, and as I told the
story any one who wished would ask
a question. When the statement was
finished it was taken In charge by
Professor Starkweather, the meeting
broke up. and. bidding goodby to my
uncle. I started for home, glad to get
as far as possible from the scene of
my adventure.
