hey ed — —— The Man in Red. 31 ghost being no less a person than the late em- peror of the French, and his Old Guard. “The Ghost of the Old Guard was known as ‘7, Homme Rouge,’ or The Man in Red, and was said to be a familiar spirit, who advised the emperor of important pews aud showed him how to win his great battles. The Man in Red never came except in the middle of the Old Guard or in some palace of France, and his presence was ascribed to supernatural influence in favor of Bonaparte. Our modern ideas have of course exploded such notions, and our opinion has always been, either that the Old Guardsmen were given to delirium tremens, or that The Man in Red was some clever impostor with confederates in power round the emperor’s person. ‘‘ The wrecking of H. M, S. Vanguard, packet dispatch vessel bound for St. Helena, has by a strange chance revealed the mystery. ‘One of her passengers was 4 tal denen a Russian—supposed—called General Grupisch. This person had a passport from the Emperor of Russia, and was given @ passage as a special favor. He was eprne Me dead wasbed ashore after the wreck of the Vanguard, and the papers found on his body set at rest the disputed oint. “ik he Manin Red was none other than General Pichegru, who was said by some to have been rourdered in prison by the emperor’s orders dur- ing the Consulate. Instead of that, it appears that he was secretly set free by Fouche, with the condition that he was never to reveal his trus name, but was to allow the report of his suicide to spread. The wily Duke of Otranto’s object seems to have been to gain a spy on bis own master, and it must have been by his connivance that The Man in Red made his periodical visits. Instead of a familiar spirit, he was, to the em- : r, an angel of ven ce.prophesying evil. Whether Fouche paid Lim or not is now uncer- tain. All that we can say of him is; that he played his part well. Whether it became him as a Frenchman is a question he had to settle with his own conscience.” Gabriel looked up as he finished his letter, to gee Casse Tete at the door, wooden leg and all, saluting: ‘‘ My general,” said the veteran, “I beg par- don. But I heard there was news from France, and I thought—” : “You are right, old comrade, there is, Casse Ba the emperor is dead.” e old cuirassier bowed his head. ‘Thank God. He is out of their reach at Ah, what a man!” ‘“ And some one else is dead, too,” “Who, my general?” “*Piche e Man in Red.” ‘Casse Tete nodded slowly. ‘ “T thought he would go after the emperor died. He was once my general, and I loved him; but he was not a man at the last, He was only a spirit of hatred.” re THE END. Waverley Library. 1 Tae Masxep Brive. By Mrs, Mary R. Crowell. 2 Was It Love?
