CHAPTER II.

AS Fritz heard no more of his wife
for the two years following this adven-
ture, we shall content ourselves with
relating his history during this period /;
but without entering into details, al
though his life presented series of
stirring events.
a After the violent scene which had, in
a manner broken his marriage, Fritz left
the town, and wandered about without
knowing whittier he went. At nightfall
fatigue obliged him to stop; he there
fore entered wayside inn, and called
for wine, which he drank with the avidity
of despair He never could. tell how,
in the end, he began to relate his mis-
fortunes to a pot companion; nor did he
ever rightly know how this companion
was seated at his table, hob bbing with
him; neither could he understand how
he had signed paper presented to him
by his comrade; how he had refused
the gold this same comrade offered him !;
and, above all, how, after falling asleep
In the open air by the side of ditch, he
had awoke in a guard-room. ,
Certain is it that, with very visible
repugnance, and perhaps only because
he had no other clothes, Fritz pulled on
military cap and a. pair of trousers !;
but when they gave him the cockade
formed of the princes colors, he could
no longer restrain his indignation. To
wear the princes colors on his brow |!
his dignity would be irretrievably injured
by such a concession. He tore up and
trampled on the poor badge. Unfor-
tunately this action did not escape the
corporal's vigilant eye, and he was con-
demned to receive hundred and fifty
lashes. SIT
In consequence of this personal cor
rection he remained six weeks in the n
frmary, where he made some salutary
reflections on the necessity of discipline !;
but the severe pain in his back could
not divert him from his mental Affections,
when restored to the charms of a whole
skin, and the manual exercise. Fritz
continued to protest, at least by his
taciturnity; but he profted by the Sc
we're lesson he had received, and dis
tinguisheds himself henceforth by the
greatest attention to the rules of SER
vices. u.s.
AT this time his country was at war

My own dearly beloved Gather
Ine-O F .t...-.' -...
He rubbed his eyes, but the words
were these-there was no mistake:
My own dearly beloved Catherine
[ send you these ducats to make use Of
them as you told me yesterday !; I would,
my angel, I were enabled to divine your
slightest wishes. Can 1 ever repay you
for the happiness 1 have enjoyed from
our love Z? Farewell, dear Catherine
it is not your prince who writes-it is
the humblest, the most devoted of your
servants"
1t was signed in the name of the
reigning prince, just as in the proclama-
tion and statutes. The poor husbands
senses failed him at this discovery. Bare
headed and still grasping the fatal purse,
he rushed furiously from the house, and
arrived breathless in the ballroom. At
his appearance even the walters paused
He stopped before Catherine, with hag-
gard looks and disordered gait.
1" Here, miserable wanton," he shout
ed, in a voice of thunder "here is your
gold--keep it to pay for your pleasures
among your vile. crew; will have no
share in the price of your infamy."
He threw the purse at her feet, but
she caught his arm, and bursting into
tears, exclaimed:
"What have I done, dear Fritz !?
What are these frightful words %
Fritz was choked with rage, and could
only reply:
" The prince, wretch-remember the
prince! Do not touch me-do not come
near me Go out of my sight, unless
you would wish me to commit crime ~
He threw her off so rudely that she
fell among the frightened dancers. They
picked her up senseless and while some
rubbed her with vinegar, others ques-
toned her with more curiosity than
delicacy. When she had recovered,
she looked anxiously round for Fritz,
but he was gone and hiding her face
in her hands, she sobbed bitterly. The
party broke up silently. Catherine, led
home by the more compassionate among
her guests, abandoned herself to des-
pair, by the side of that purse of gold
which she had hitherto looked upon as
the source of all future happiness.

CHAPTER III.

/, Although our hero had not spared
himself, the wars had spared him; he
was returning whole and hale On the
road homeward he thought of GATHERINGS 5
beauty, and of the love she had always
evinced towards him, and began to fancy
that where ignorance was bliss" it was
a pity he ever became wise In his own
private mind he settled that writing was
a very imprudent thing, and that it
would be happier for all husbands if
lovers would hold their tongues.
These remembrances and reflections
conducted him to Catherine s house, and
while saying he could never re-enter it,
he found himself knocking at the door.
1t was Catherine herself who opened
it. How changed was she ! Tears had
worn deep traces round her eyes, her
cheeks were pale and thin, but she was
still pretty. She started back in sur
prise on seeing her husband, extended
her arms, and fell senseless on his neck.
Fritz, deeply moved at this reception,
bore her to seat, and felt much in
clined to forgive her. One idea only
kept him back. -, ....
&C What is the good" he asked him
self, " of being Aogged, of marching in
the mud land sleeping on the bare ground,
if l make it up with my wife after all !?
| had better have passed it all over at
first"
Catherine at length recovered her
senses, and opened her eyes.
C You are come back at last ~ she
cried, throwing her arms round his neck.
!" Here you are, and you love me still. !"
q, Her grief was so true, her joy so fer
vent, that Fritz was decidedly softened.
. " Yes, madam, here | amp he said,
"but befored can love you Still, I must
lose all memory of a certain purse.''
:" Yes, that gold-that purse" she
exclaimed 81 knew it was for them

with France, and the regiment was soon
sent towards the frontier; but before
leaving he had already attained the hon.
orable grade of corporal. Whether,
because he felt himself unworthy of this
honor, or because his mind was soured
by misfortune, he instantly attributed
this favor to the princes influence, and
shuddered to think that what it had cost
him. Each day he expected, notwith-
standing his brutal repulse, to hear from
Catherine and her silence strengthened
his convictions of her guilt.
He never reflected that he spent six
weeks out of eight of his soldiers life in
the hospital, while his officers scarcely
knew the name of their refractory re-
cruit. 7 .-. ..
He fought then with the energy of
passion, and the courage of despair his
enemies felt the effects of his rage towards
Catherine. This, however, did not,
prevent the princess being entirely rout j..
ed. The cowardice of the flying troops
was another reason for rewarding the
men who stood their ground Fritz was
decorated, and made an officer. This
promotion, this honor, were new sources
of bitterness to him, since he could only
trace them to his wife's interest; and
he thought each grade could only be
purchased, like the purse of gold.
ID" Alas ~ he murmured, if favors
are thus showered on me, where shall l
stop?"
He certainly showed no signs of stop
ping his courage was so remarkable,
that it could not fail to excite attention.
He soon found himself captain, and
then resolved to quit the service, not
having education or capacity to support
his increasing honors. 1t was not with
out doing great violence to his inclina-
tions that he drew up respectful re-
quest to be allowed to retire; and he
anxiously awaited the answer, fearing
lest Catherine should be opposed to this
step. Fortunately his resignation was
instantly accepted the prince liked to
have good soldiers, but he liked still
better to have commissions and places
at his disposal for his friends. One of
his aides-de-camp took the trouble to
visit Captain Fritz, and to tell him his
commission was granted.
To make peace with his conscience,
which reproached him for relinquishing
so good soldier, the prince sent him
five hundred ducats from his privy purse.
At sight of the gold Fritz ,clenchcd his
fist, and seemed inclined to strangle the
messenger; but a soldiers life had
strangely modified hisi'scruples. He
took the gold, without renouncing his
rancor and, after farewell supper, in
which he drowned his grief in wine, set
forth for his native town, having been
more than two years away from it.
