Returning home he finds that his mother's inability to pay the taxes has resulted in a sale being ordered. As Napoleon rides by in his carriage, Fanfan, dressed in his uniform, stands on the street, and as Napoleon's eyes fall upon him the soldier salutes. Napoleon remembers his face, and making inquiries, learns of Fanfan's predicament, stops the sale of the little home and commissions Fanfan as a lieutenant.
