MAN WHO SAW NAPOLEON..

CENTENARIAN'A TSITS TO HT. BELENĄ AR A CIELD.

In a stuffy little room in a small bouse in a Facia suburb, writes the "Mail's " Paris correspondent recently, I held band that had been grasped by Napolcon and heard what is probably the only voice left in the world that once fill. upon the Emperor's eara.

The simple old man who couests tho long dead past to the living present is M. Pierro Schamel Roy. He is nearly 100 years old, and his father was a soldier's orderly who spent his life in close per seml attendance on the great Emperor. Born in the Palace of Versailles, and one of the little playmates of the King of Romo, Napoleon's son, M. Schiumal-Roy remembers seeing the Emperor three times, all of them at St. Helens, where ho was taken to visit bin father, who had followed Kapalton into exile. He saw the Emperor Pace more as he lay dead at St. Helena

M. Bchanel-Ey is a handsome old fel- low, of strong festures, though sunken face, with a booked so and a fowig, silky, hizo - beard. It was in the high, quavering voice of extremo old age that he spoke to me. When I mentioned the unm of the Emperor; it was an lithe weight of year had suddenly fallen from "lum. Empereur," he said. "Qui, j'ai vu l'Empereur."

KING OF POE'S DOLL,

He told how on one of bis, visits as a child to St. Hedena, Sir Hudson Lown, the Emperor's guarding, suspected him of har ing been entrusted with awerat. latter for prisoner. "I was taken," be paid, "to Bir Hudson Lowe. Hodemanded whether I have not a letter for the Emperor. I said 'No.' but was not satisfied. Buip that young Yarisian for me," said Sir Hnd. Bon Lowe So I was stripped and a-arched, but they found nothing and I was allowed to see the poler. I knelt before him and kland bis hand. Ele pastlad me on the head and caliut mon loyal little fellow, I -wha's bout two:ro years old at that time."

It is the Emperor's dark and piercing eyes that are the, la traan's most vivid re collection of that for meeting..

Among his treasures is a little doll that was unce the plaything of the young King of Rome. in just as it left the Prince Imperial, be told win uirty na you sed, but it was his little hands this nailed
