when the scarcely unexpected return o thf great emperor from elba had led to a pi snti tal exodus of those who had attached t iem selves to the fortunes of king louis xv il more especially those who die myself had been in attendance upon the person o the king my hone hid cast a thoe and i had that fallen a little in the rear of my nm- rides whose white cloaks and crimson uni forms were easily discernible througfc the blinding rsin sua horizon in front wbiltt behind me the itncert of bonaparte lith their tricoloured pennons hoveredii the rear following up step by step witl the evident intention of seeing us over the mint- ier i was but little more than a lad nt i had a tolerable horse under me and a pi enti- ful tupply of money in my pocket ti d tl- though the rain came down without ca nng and i was wet through and covered with mud i kept up my spirits by ringing o le of the popular songs of the day whilst i w itch ed the rain trickling sver my new gold epaulets at last my horse began to roop his head and like him my spirits sol ered down and i begarffor the firtt time it ask myself where lwas going i had nofthe faintest notion but i did not trouble njyself muck on that scare for my squadron wis in front snd in following my comrades 1 was but doing my dutya more than sufl aient reason to my not very troublesome con science insensibly however i begahai alyt- ing this curioua feeling of abnegation o felf which is at the bottom of all sense of inty more especially as it might affect a to iier and i speculated freely upon the disagreea ble potifions i might find myself placed in when duty and obedienoe pointed u lone direction and ones own feelings iijthe the pouring rain the dismal oountr j the endless road were not likely to give th most cheerful tone to my cogitations snd jwsa but too glad of the break afforded b tf the nddm appearance of a black object w- ling along the yellow road at the ditta ice of wmetbitg like- mue and a half and rfuch wis

hit ptce i was toon enabled to tee that i was fist approaching a small spring cart over which a black tarpaulin was stretched by meant of three ribs of wood re sembling a sort of cradle on wheels whilst the tired mule who dragzedit wearily along wu guided by a man holding the reins in lit hands at he trudged stoutly by its tide i had plenty of time to make my observa tions at i ranged up alongside of my future companion who wu a tall athletic man of some fifty yean of age with thick white moustaobes and the slight stoop in the shoulders which it the umnistakeable sign of the old infantry officer who has long carried the knapesck he wore the uniform and epaulets of a major under a small blue and rather threadbare clotkvand he htd the west herbetteu look on hit face which it to common among men who have tees a good deal of rough service in the field at i sp- protchod mm he gave me a quick glanse from under hit shaggy eyebrows tnd slowly drawing a leaded musket from the little cart he cocked it whilst placing himself os the other tide of the mule which wu thus uuoontdoutly transformed into a rampart seeing the white cockade i eontented my self with drawing aside my cloak so u to show my uniform and he at once replaced the musket in the cart saying with a back ward gesture of hit thumb ah i that makes all the difference i took you for one of those fellowt who are following us behind there tould you like a drink f gladly said i approaching him eager ly for itt more than fen hours since any thing but rain water hit passed my lips he had a very prettily engraved cocoanut with a silver top slung round hit neck and producing this with evident pride he handed it to me filled with tome thin tour white wine but which tasted to me like nectar to the gods i handed it back to him and be fore readjusting it he took a mouthful of itt contents adding f to the kings health 1 he gave me a step in the legun of honour and it is but right that i should tttend him to the fron tier when thats done u i have nothing but my tptolets to live by i shall return to myregiment its my duty he said thit more at if speaking to him self than to me and set hittnule again in motion whilst i rode slowly along by hit tide for more than a ouarter of an hour without httarding any remark so fearful was i of putting an end to our newly formed toquaintsncethip by what might prove to be an indiscretion with a man who was evident ly somewhat peculiar as he stopped again to rest his tired mule i took the opportu nity of getting rid of the rsin which had soaked down into my long horsemans boots your boots seem to stick pretty tight to your fecvssid he itt a longtime since ive had them off i replied bin you mutt learn to think nothing of that he rejoined iu his gruff voice if you mean to be a soldier especially in such stirring times at we are likely fo live in then turning half round he added what do you suppose tve got in the cart theref 1 i in sure idont know i taswered its t woman i ah said l with a aort of grunt but not venturing on any other sign ol astonish- meat aod fouowintj tumateeis eo- this poecbeelbanww there dfifirt cost me much nor the mule either rtever- theless its su ive got to make the mirth an tlthough the rota drags out like alinen- drtperi measure i st once offered him the loan of my horse and aa he ssw i had no intention of sneering tt himself or hit conveyance he seemed on a sudden at his ease and coming alongside my stirrup he gave me a hearty smack on the knee well you are a good fellow although you have the crimson breeches on- the recollection of the dislike with which our four favoured regiments of te body guard had been alwsyt regarded by the line lashed across my mina and 1 believe i blushed at the wav in which we had been prefemdto the old soldiers however tdded he i wont accept your goodnatured offer for the very suffi cient reason that i dont know how to ride but major offioert of your rank- are compelled to ride i bahonce a year at the inspection and then vfirbim any old hack aa for me 1 f u a sailor and ever since i have when she said this i felt a ooldthnddt pass over me and my hair ssemerl almost to stand on end good heavens said i and i bad al most forgotten it i ilwe had got beyond the first degree of north lttitdde i should have nothing to do but to jnmp overboard i seised hold of the ships log and when i law that we hed at least a week before us i was in some degree comforted but i still feltan undefined fear in my heart there la no joking with the directory os the aeon of obedienoe i half muttered to myself however im alt right so far but ue time hat slipped away to auickiy that load nearly forgotten all about it weo air than we stood all three of us looking up at the letter u if we expected it to speak to as what ttruok me the most wu that the sua which wu now shining i edoertairdegnee of latitude and lonptade through the oabinwindow lighted up the which would bring me somewhere near the gl of the oloek smd taade the great red i iv tfftne 1166 1 never troubled myteu aboutwrnin g to ride i could see he wu eyeing me closely for the next few minutes andf apparently ex- rtcting me to ssy something but u he found waa still silent he went on so youre not curious i thought i should have utonithed you im not so easily utonithed u you think ie i were to tell you why i iefttheaea i thouldistouish you whatever you may think now well why dont you try t at all events it might warm ua up and make me forget the rain that gets in at the nape of my neck and runs down to the heels otmy boots the good natured major wu evidently u pleased u a child to tall his story snd forthwith prepared himself for it- he re adjusted his shako covered with oilskin on hit herd and gave a hitch forward with one of bis shoulders which could have satisfied even the rawest recruit thit he belonged to the infantry that veritable ahrug that the foot soldier gives his knapsack to shift the load and lighten the weight and whioh never forsakes him after he becomes a offi cer after thit convulsive gesture he drink a mouthful from hit cocoanut gave a dig in the ribs fo hit mule by wty ot encourage ment and began chaptie n i was com at brest tnd to tvoid troubling you with details you wont care for let me uy that i ran away to sea when i was a lad and wu found stowed away in the forecastle of an indianman when she had lost eight of land the captain wu letter- natured than some would have been- in his position and instead of pitching me into the sea he turned me into a cabinboy and for my part so anxious wu i to prove that his kindneu wu not misplaced i worked away so hard that at the end of fifteen years 1 found myself in command of a merchant brig of some five hundred tons burthen when the revolution broke out the royal jfanint which mind you wu u good a ser vice u a mas need with for found itself de prived of the greater portion of its officers snd the authorities were glsd enough to put men like me in command who hid not only had sufficient experience as seamen but had also shown aa aptitude for fighting in brushes with pirates and such like irregular warfare however whatever my merita were one fine morning i found myself in command of the corvette mant of twenty- six guns and three hundred and fflty men having just received orden to get ready for cayenne whither i wu to take a reinforce ment for the garrison and a political prison ir whom the frigate ihtaii which had ailed a week before had been obliged to leave behind for want of room os the 28th of trnotidor 1797 i received my orders from the directory the first letter inclosing a second with three broad red seals which wu directed sot to break until i hid reach- brinff line itwu a remarkable jitter inlnaay1 ietj in the mntre look luo the fetstaree of a ways for it wu of extreme length andwu to carefully sealed and gummed together it i t i 1 it vi 1 l 11 that i found it impossible to glean ths small est notion of its contents which i- am not uhemedtotay i wu most anxious to be come possessed of from the first i conceived a dread of this mysterionslrjoking document and after much consideration i determined to place it inside the glial of a little useless clock which wu fixed over my bed until the time arrived when i was authorised to ucertain its contents tie rest of the fuij nitnre of my cabin wu at nest and tppr- priate u you could find in any nun of wtr lor instance my bed at night wu shut up into a sofa in the daytime where 1 smoked my pipe the floor wu waxed and scrubbed until it shone like t lookingglaat and when all wu in order it wasju pretty a room u you would with to see what pleasant days we spent there and what an agreeable voyage it was until but i must not antici pate j we started with i a fair wind and i happened to be esgsged is potting my letter iniide the gljai of the clock when a knock came it the cabin door and my prisoner entered bringing with him s pretty young irl shout seventeen yean of sge whom he eld by the hand be wit not ranch more than nineteen himself and a goodlooking lad except that he was a little too pale and too white for a man he voiiman however and one who behaved like one of the heroes of ancient days when the occasion sroee u you will see before ive done as i turned round he drew his wifes arm within his own tnd there they were looking u fresh tnd hippy u two turtledoves tnd made me quite hippy to tee them- i so there you ire my ohudres taid i sad come to give a visit to your captain itt very kind of you and although i have some distance tocarry you away so much the better for itvill give ut the time to get acquainted- forgive me madame for not having my coaton but i jwu engaged in nailing this clock up securely so that i might get rid of tbishatefol letter do jou think you can help me f j they really were a nice pair the little husband took the hammer and his little wife thvnaue and they passed me the one snd the other u i taken for them ahe laughing merrily called out to the i right er ti the left captain u the rolling of the ship made the clock lurch about in fact she wu matins fun of me- you naughty child fu tell your hus band to scoldyou if you dont mind and then she threw her arms round mi uecktnd kissed him for they were lite two children snd it wu no wonder we soon became great friends together we werepretty lucky in our passage far the weather seemed made expressly for us and 1 1 made my two little friends come and dine dtily iwith me- when our frugal dinner wu over they would nod and wink tt each other and when i laughed at them they would join in with me cloth ing came amiss to them and they were al ways merry tnd pleased with everything that wu cone for them although my orders were fo be kind and tttentive to them i wu specially told to keep them on the ordinary ships ration tnd they had their hammocks likeithe rest of the crew- i wu like youy my friend and j didnt bother people with questions about what did not concern thm i for jshaa were ttlmii maenrtaetr affairs- to me who wu only the captain of the thip that took them over to the other aide of the world at the end of a month i had begun to look upon them u children whenever i called them they came and sat down hy me the young man wrote at my table that it to sty my bed and
