have four hundred of them, of every age
and shade and character, all under my
own hands, was very great pleasure to
me. They We're from Pomerania for the
me- st part, though some were from Nor
mandy ard some from Alsace, and it
amused us to notice that they differed in
character as much as the people of the
provinces. We observed also what I have
often proved SINCE that the nature of a
horse can be told by his color, from the
coquettish light bay. full of fancies and
nerves, to the hardy chestnut and from
the docile roam to the pig-headed rusty
black. All this has nothing in the world
to do with my story, but how Is an officer
of cavalry to get on with his tale when he
finds four hundred horses waiting for him
at the outset? 1t Is my habit, you see, to
talk of that which interests myself, and
SO have hopes that may interest you.
We crossed the Vistula opposite Marien-
werder, and had got as far as Rosenberg
when Major Legendre came into my room
in the post house with an open paper in
lis hand.
you are to leave me-" said he, with de-
spair upon his face.
1t was no very great grief for me to do
that, for he was, If I may say so, hardly
worthy to have such subaltern. 1 sa-
luted. however. in silence.

he continued. Toy are to proceed to
Eossel instantly, and to report yourself at
the headquarters Of the regiment"

tell you if I could be of any assistance to
YOU.
You can be of the very greatest" he
cried. Indeed, from all that l have heard
Of you. Monsieur Gerard, you, are the one
man whom | should wish to have by my
side tonight
You forget that am riding to join my
regiment
You cannot in any case reach it tonight
Tomorrow will bring you to Rossel. BY
staying with me You will confer the great
est kindness upon me- and you will aid me
in a matter which concerns my own honor
and the honor of my family. l am COM
PEELED. however, to confess to you that
some personal danger may possibly be in
VClved.
1t was n crafty thing for him to say. OF
course I sprans from Rataplan's back and
ordered the groom to lead him back to the
Stables.
Come into the inn," said I, land let me
know exactly what it is that you wish me
to do.
He led the way into the sitting room
and fastened the door lest we should be
interrupted. He was a well-grown lad. and
as he stood in the glare of the lamp with
the light beating upon his earnest face.
nind upon his uniform of silver gray, which
suited him to a marvel, ! felt my heart
warm toward him. Without going SO far
as to say that ne carried himself as
have done at his age, there was at least
similarity enough to make me feel SYM
pathy with him.
Il can explain ii all in a few words -
said he IF 1 have not already satisfied
your very natural curiosity it is because
the subject is so painful one that l can
hardly bring myself to allude to it.
c&Inot. however, ask for your assistance
without explaining to you exactly how the
matter lies.
You must know. then, that my father
was the well-known banker, Christopher
DGcro 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 We're passed out into the street. My
father had been a benefactor of the poor
all his life. There We're many to plead for
him. He had the fever, too, and was car
ried in half dead upon a blanket. Two of
the judges were in favor of acquitting
lin. The third. young Jacobn, whose
huge body and brutal mind had made him
a leader among the wretches, dragged
him with his own hand from the litter,
kicked him again and again with his
heavy boots, ard hurled him out of the
deer. 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
