THE FAMILY JEWELS.
TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN OF L. BCHCCKIKQ.
In the latter part of September iIL ibj?
year 1870, a group of sat
in the little terraced garden of
ant in Void—a French tillage, sitnajelH®
the upper valley of the Heusei-: The
Meuse in this neighborhood is a* JBbdeet
stream, having Just sprang
riguons ho9Piß> of the Sichefofge,to
lave, "on itsjneit* bank, the celebrated
Vancouleurst farther on it winds In. a
north-easterly direction, forming* a bdw at
whose end lies Hohen Void; then turning
again to the north it touches in its course
Commercy, the ancient seat of the Dukes
of Lotbringen and Bar, whose lordly cas
tle, with its reminiscences of the good
King Stanislaus. Voltaire, and of .the “di
vine Emilie,” the Marquise du Gbatelet,
is now a large garrison.
Commercy itself was then an important
reconnoitering station for the German
troops marching from Nancy to Paris;
and it was to protect this upper region of
the Meuse that a company of north-Ger
man lanclwebr had been stationed at Void
to guard the road through the valley, and
the railway leading from Laugres. It was
rather an easy task, a sort of dolce far
mente era that had fallen to the lot of our
little corps; there was only a certain
watchfulness required, owing to the fact
that a number of franclireurs, who bad
assembled in the vosges, and from there,
or from their strong hold at Laugres,
might at any moment make a descent
upon the military highway of the Ger
mans. This, however, was not to be fear
ed at the present, for the fourteenth army
corps, under General Von Werder, was
just at that time preparing for its march
toward Epinal to disperse those bands;
his van-guard, under General Degenfeld,
was already on the march that led them
to the battle of Kaon I’Etape; and this
the south.
So it was a quiet, almost monotonous
garrison service they were obliged to
perform; the honest landwehr men were
spared the tedium of drilling and military
exercises, and after the reconnoiterlng pa
trol had been dispatched and the 7 regular
reports sent off to Commercy, there was
nothing left for the officers but to try and
pass the time as pleasantly as possible.
With this view they bad chosen the
charming garden of the restaurant, which,
separated from the street, lay so high that
one entered it from the billiard salon in
the second story of the house.
Granjfold chestnut trees o’ershadowed
the promenade, at the end of which stood
a vine*wreathed pavillion, from which a
lovely view of the finely cultivated valley
of the Meuse, with its meadows and vine
clad hills, was to be seen.
The officers sat in the pavilion around
a table upon which stood several decant
ers; three of their number were finishing
a game of whist, while the fourth, who
had wearied of the game and thrown
aside his cards, stood, with his elbow
resting upon the low parapet of tbe terrace
outside, and glanced carelessly upon the
placid landscape beyond.
He was perhaps thirty or older, of
slender figure, a. well shaped aristocratic
head, and large blue eyes that were half
veiled by their broad, blue-veiled lids.
Promising, but rather bristling as yet, a
full beard, the product of field life, ap
peared on bis chin and finely carved up
per lip, disfiguring, rather than enchant
ing the face; tbe solitary star beneath tbe
number of his regiment indicated that hlr
rank was that of first lieutenant of bis
company.
Max Von Daveland, for such was »he
name of our second in command at Void,
had always been an active, energetic man,
accustomed t 6 the busy routine ot offl*
cial life. The idleness of the little garri
son town was inexpressibly wearisome to
him, and he found it difficult to rid him
self of the ennui that bad seized him; for
this reason he had seen fit to enroll him
self in cupid’s ranks—in other words he
had fallen in love in order to give bis
thoughts some occupat on. It was rather
a platonic affection, it is true; “in parti
bus infddium his friend Hartig, the
deputy sergeant, would have said with
reference to the French lady; for the ob
ject of his passion was tut a mere shadow,
an image—not a phantasy that haunted
his dreams, but the shadow of a very
lovely, earthly substance. One day, the
officers in quest of amusement, had visit
ed the atdier of the photographer of Void,
and had been photographed in a group in
remembrance of their days together in the
little garrison town. Here Max Dave
land found a picture among the numer-

who was leaning dot of the window and
saw the accident, sent a volley of all the

companions, hastened to Dave land’s side.
Several soldiers of the company at that
moment passing in the street, saw the
threatening gestures of their superiors
and turned as it to detain the carriage.
The man on the front seat had urged the
horses to a faster gait, but his companion
caught his arm as the girl rose to her feet
and looking back began to speak rapidly.
She had evidently seen the commotion
their driver’s awkwardness had aroused.

Daveland uttered a grateful ex
clamation as he felt the cold cloth on his
burning eye.
“Who were those people?” demanded
Soutberin of the maid.
“It was an accident, monsieur,” replied
Nicalse hastily, ignoring his question.
“Good heavens f such a thing can happen
so easily when one is not careful!"
“Look here you little serpent! I’ll war-
rant you think it was skillfully done in
stead of accidentally, and are secretly
commending that fellow’s skill—at least
you are trying to shield your country

“Oh, monsieur !” exclaimed Nicaise in
a tone of injured innocence, “/ commend

man suffers—”
“That is not telling me who these peo
ple are!” interrupted Southerin angrily.
“Here comes the gentleman Who will
tell you,” she said pointing to the elderly
gentleman who at this moment came to
ward them from the billiard salon. He
was tall and rather stout—almost too
stout to be a Frenchman, with iron gray
hair that only half concealed the large
expressive head, |t was a head something
like that of Gustavos Adolphus; a ming
ling of hardy, weather-beaten features
with a refined and thoroughly intellectual
expression; two clear steel blue eyes
flashed beneath the shaggy -brows, and
anxiously searched each face in the little
group as he joined them. With his hat
in his hand he bowed courteously and be
gan in German, with a slight French ac
cent and hesitating voice as If long unac
customed to the tongue: .
“I hope you will accept the apology I
bring you. I need not tell you how much
I am vexed at the awkward accident, Herr
Lieutenant,” he said taming to Daveland
who was bathing the injured eye while
he surveyed the stranger with the other.
“It whs certainly a very singular acci
dent!” said Southerin almost roughly, not
appeased by the stranger’s apologetic
mein; “and a very little carefulness
*would have prevented it. Did you Wot

inquiringly to Davoland. “Belihvc me, I
would give much to have prevented the
unfortunate occurrence.”
Max, who held the dripping. cloth in
hia right hand, good-naturedly held out
his left to the stranger, in whose face such
evident regret was depicted.
“The pain is decreasing,” he said assur
ingly; “the eye is not Injured—and really

you, by means; I do not
need his services,” interrupted Max.
Then you are at home in the neighbor
hood ?” if \ i .
“I reside only a fmniies farther up 1 -
the va^ey.”
“£jf&P erba P B y°o can-tell us how far
D *iBf|6sB from here ?” asked Soutberio,
less for the sake of the for
the pacific turn the conthrsatlolftiad ta
ken.
“Just six miles.”
“Aod just too far for an- afternoon's
pleasure excursion,” said Hartig.
“If the gentlemen would like to make
an excursion up the valley, my house
would certainly be a more comfortable
destination for you, and I assure you it
will give me great pleasure to entertain
you. By your acceptance you will assure
me that you do not bear roe any ill will
for this disagreeable occurrence—” he had
turned to Max at these words—“will you
not give me the pleasure of entertaining
you as my guests? Your promise will
prove you have pardoned me.”
“Oh, if that is all,/ promise cheerfully!”
answered Max hastily, slightly coloring.
The stracger drew forth a card, gave it
left them. •». -
While the rest watched the stranger
walk rapidly to where his carriage await
ed him, Max read the name “A. d’Avelou”
upon the card.
What is this polite monsieur’s name ?”
asked Southerin, when the stranger had
driven off.
D Avelon, answered Hartig, taking
the card,
“Why that sounds almost like Dave*
land; it must have been the similiarity
of your names that made you friends so
quickly—/can’t say I admire the fellow,”
said Southerin lighting a cigar.
"Why not?” asked Max.
“There is something repulsive in his
face a sort of restlessness never seen in
an honest man’s countenance.’’
“That is rather a severe judgment,”
said Max, pressing the towel to his eyes- -
once more. “Why should a face that be
trays, as you say, a restless mind, be re
pulsive ? It can be attractive, too ; life,
for the best of us may be but a series of
troublesome tasks and soul struggles.
Now this face attracts me; there is some
thing homelike in it—he spoke German
very well if it was not for his name £
should think be was a countryman.”
“Nicaise!” cajled Hartig, as she ap- '
preached with fresh water, “is ;this Mon
sieur d’Avelon a Frenchman—a native of
this region ?”
“He has lived on the Ferme des Auges,
here in the neighborhood, for many years;
but I think he is a Belgian by birth. The
Ferme is a very handsome estate and
Mods, d Avelon is an excellent proprietor;
he belongs to the council, and is a friend
of the Prefect, and—”
“Ho, ho, Nicaise! See what precise in
formation you can give us now ; you
shielded him very ingeniously, my pretty
enemy, said Southerin laughing.
Max now laughingly reported himself
fit for service once more, and the rest re
turned to their game.
