CHAPTER III.


Shall we follow the steps of Paul
kinmayer for twelve years? Shall we
relate how he travelled IN strange lands,
even in the wake of the French army
sometimes in disguise. How minute.
but yet how cautious were his inquiries,
and, alas! how fruitless. Shall we say
how the hale man grew gray and feeble
as though half century had passed O.
yer his head, in scarcely more than a
| tithe OF one! No; for we could re-
late nothing that would interest The rea-
der-nothing but the patient suffering of
bereaved man, hoping, but hopeless
seeking but finding il not until it almos:
seemed that the faculties of the wander
er had ceased TO embrace the original
object of his mission; but they did not
they only slumbered.
Ii was something hey ond twelve years
after the scene related in our second chap
ter took plase, that French officer was
reciting, in one of the principal cafes of
Paris, to an eager crowd of listeners, the
particulars of an inglorious retreat from
Russia, of which he was one of the few
survivors. His age could not have ex-
ceeded thirty, but the dreadful hardship
of the Russian campaign had told fear
fully upon his hardened features. War,
however, had not tanned, but had evident
ly added to, naturally ferocious dispo-
silon; for he was detailing with savage
satisfaction, the horrid torments of the
enemy, already forgelful of the severi.
lies he had just escaped, aad to which
SO many of his comrades had fallen a
sacrifice. 81.
Among those who listened most at
tentively was stranger, who sat, almost
unnoticed, smoking in an obscure corner
OF the room; an involuntary expression
at length betrayed him, aud all eyes were
Immediately turned to where he sat.
"lll wager NapoleoE," SAID the Of
ficer, 'rhat the old German never smel,
powder but on a review, and never saw
more smoke than that which now pro-
ceeds from his meerschaum."
"Better if others were like me, who,
remembering only that they are soldiers,
forget not that they are men,"
"How!" exclaimed the officer, starting
on his feet; 'such sentiments here are
dangerous; but you Germans are ever
mystical. However, I'll tell you Ger
