CHAPTER III.

By midday | had got as far as the viii
laee of Saalieldt. but as / was on the
direct road for Osterode, where the
Emperor was wintering, aud also for the
main camp OF the seven divisions OF IN
fantry, the highway was choked with
carriages and carts. What with artillery,
caissons and wagons and couriers and
the ever-thickening stream OF recru It's
and stragglers. II seemed TO me that ~
would be a very long time before j should
ION my comrades. The plains, however,
were five feet deep in snow, so there was
nothing for il but TO plod upon our way.
1t was with joy, therefore, that j found
q second road which branched away from
the other, ,rending through fir wood
toward the rosth. There was a small
auberge al the Cross roads, and patrol

without explaining TO you exactly how
the matter lies.
"You must know then, that my father
was the well-known banker, Christopher
Duroc, who was murdered by the people
during the September massacres. AS you
are aware, the mob took possession OF
the prisons, chose three so-called judges
to pass sentence upon the unhappy aristo-
Gratis, and then tore them TO pieces when
they were passed out into the street. My
father had been benefactor of the poor
all his life. There were many to plead
for him. tie had fever, too, and was
carried in half dead upon blanket. Two
of the judges were in favor OF acqultting
him. The third, young Jacobin, whose
huge body and brutal mind had made
him leader among the wretches, dragged
him with his own hands from the litter,
kicked him again and again with his
heavy boots, and hurled him out of the
door, where in an instant he was torn
limb from limb under circumstances
which are too horrible for me to describe.
This, as you perceive, was murder even
under their own unlawful laws, for two
OF their own judges had pronounced in
my fathers favor.
"Well, when the days OF order came
back again, my elder brother began to
make inquiries about this man. / was
only a child then, but Ii was family
matter, and it was discussed in my pres
ence. The fellows name was Carabin.
He was one of Santerre's Guard, and
noted duelist. A foreign lady named the
Baroness Straubenthal, having been
dragged before the Jacobins, he had
gained her liberty for her on the promise
that she, with her money and estates,
should be his. He had married her,
taken her name and title, and escaped
out of France at the time OF the fall OF
Robespierre. What had become OF him
we had no means of learning.
"You will think, doubtless, that it
would be very easy for us to find him,
since we had both his name and title.
You must remember, however, that the
revolution left us without money, and
that without money such a search is very
difficult Then came the Empire, and 1t
became more difficult still, for, as you are
aware, the Emperor considered that the
to a settlement and on that day veil had
to be drawn across the past. None the
less, we kept our own family story and
our own family plans.
"My brother joined the army and
passed with IL through all southern Eu-
rope, asking everywhere for the Baron
| Straubenthal. Last October he was killed
at Jena with his mission still untitled.
| Then 1t became my turn, and / have the
| good fortune TO hear of the very man OF
| whom | am in search at one of the first
| Polish villages which have TO visit and
within fortnight OF joining my regi-
! ment. And then, to mike the matter
| even better, / find myself in company OF
| one whose name is never mentioned
throughout the army save in connection
| with some generous and daring deed"
