6 THE BLUE AND WHITE so great a monument, for such indeed it was. J passed on through the chapel and was told that my purpose would now be fulfilled. A door was opened and I noticed what seemed to be a great opening in the tloor before me. Descending several steps, 1 crossed a marble Hour to tli tailing surrounding the opening. As my eyes took in the full force of the sight. 1 felt a strange feeling, half of fear and half oi awe creeping over me. 1 was now looking down upon the resting place of the ashes of Napoleon, the Great. The whole structure was- made up of mahogany colored granite. At the top, the ends looked as though some monster hand had rolled them under the rest, to form pillows. Under ibis was a casket, shaped out of the same kind of material, with wreathes for handles. The whole rested on a huge block of granite which, I learned, had been given for the purpose by a Russian Emperor. On the floor, which was made of marble. were the names of twelve battles that the great man had won. These were surrounded by a great green wreath. Outside of this wreath twelve great statues were placed, the Goddesses of victory for each of the twelve battles. Several large receptacles contained the battle flags of the Napoleonic Wars. The whole structure was executed in a majestic simplicity. The shadows of evening wrere beginning to lengthen as I reluctantly left this awe-inspiring place. As I went out. 1 thought of the request that the conqueror of nations had made in his lasj days. It wras that his ashes should rest on the banks of the Seine. Tt had been fulfilled. HAROLD MANNING.
