part of his fortune by hiring out

of North America to fight against
a certain George Washington.
When Napoleon's armies invaded
('asses and William was forced to
flee, he left all of his gold with his
trusted friend, Rothschild, who
buried it in the ground in his hack-
VII William returned to

the buried gold to him and the
prince, by way of gratitude, made
Ro thschild his banker.
It is quite a fascinating experi-
ence to read Corti'se demolition of
this legend. All who are inter-
ested in business coups must not
fail to read the true account either
in Corti's book or in E. Ravage's
historical novel, "Five Men of
Frankfort," as to how the Roths-
rhilds did get to the prince's gold
and how they did not keep it
buried in the ground.
A still inure picturesque legend
about the origin of the Rothschild
i
fortune connects it with the bat-
tle of Waterloo. Nathan, the Lon-
don Rothschild, the legend goon,
was himself present at the battle
watching its fortunes from behind
the English line. The uncertainty
as to the outcome of that battle
had depressed all stocks on the
English exchange. At that time
communication was very slow and
Nathan had determined to lie the
first to know the news and play
the market accordingly. The le-
gend goes that when, from his van-
tage point he was certain that Na-
poleon had been beaten, he rode
on a fast horse which was waiting,
all the way to Ostend. When he
arrived at Ostend there was a
storm at sea. No ship would ven-
ture across. But he offered so high
a price that one captain made the
venture and brought hint safely
across to Dover. At Dover his
carriage was waiting and it drove
hint with great sliced to London,
where he was the only man who
knew the outcome of the battle.

exchange, pale and haggard from
