CHAPTER VII.


arrival, the city ofDresden presented
the imposing spectacle OF an innu-
merable multitude OF people, and the
well ordered array OF formidable
armies. The immediate cause OF
this commotion and hustle, was the
coming OF the Emperor.
1t was the fifteenth of May. Fred
erick had escorted his mother and
sister to the house OF u friend, whence
the ladies could see the procession
with ease. While thus stationed, he
all at olce heard voice call out his
name. 1t was Rasinski. who noun
ted on handsome grey charger was
gallopping along the ranks of SOL
diers.
Good evening, my dear friend OF
st. Gothard?" he called out to Fred
erick. Il hardly thought that we
should meet too day, for it Is a very
busy time with us. The Emperor
will be hero in an hour"
Frederick ran down into the street,
and making his way through the SOL
diers, shook the outstretched hand of
Rasinski. As he gazed on the daz-

breast.

young friend?" said Rasinski. as

Frederick was about to reply, when

him short, and the troopers, closing
and dressing their ranks, forced him
to make hasty retreat.
For the space OF half an hour a
splendid cavalcade OF marshals, gen.

rank, and many German princes,
spurred swiftly down the gate known
by the name Of the "Willsdruffer
Thor" through which the Emperor
was to enter the city. Frederick
stood perplexed, when the clatter OF
gallopping horses. caused him to
turn his head. 1t was the two young
Poles, Boleslaus and Jaromir, hasten
ing to overtalle the retinue. They
observed him also, and as they flew
past gave him friendly salute with
the hand. III
