During the war in Hesse in the year
l7G0, Captain Of dragons was ordered
cut with his troop to forage for provis-
ions. They reached a poor cabin and
knocked at the door. An old man with
q white beard appeared. "Take me to
q field, said the officer, "where / can
obtain forage for my troops" Gimme
diately, sir" replied the old man. He
put himself at their head and assembled
the valley. After about half an. hours
march fine field of barley appeared.
This viii do admirably" said the Off
Ger. "No, said the old man; wait a
little and all will he right" They went
On again, until they reached another
field Of barley. The troops dismounted,
moved down the grain, aud, trusting it
up in bundles. put them on their horses.
g Friend, said the officer, chow is it
that you have brought US so far? The
first field Of barley that we saw was
quite as good as this. "That is quite
true, " said the peasant, "but it was not
