floor, isherr-t her eye ran, , zed along the extei,deil
ranks—and a bright flush overspread her rewriter ,
as her glance rested s lor a morat. - nt oil, ?he handsome
features of a 3 ming eq:eoti-major. Ivan roleto;,

by the simple uniform of his mileary giraffe.
Gen. L p.i.sted and re passed Mont: the front lute
of the Ratallron without a single word, but wi•li a
frowning. brow and an angry expression on his fea
tures, for he ritrreived that some of the men were
agent. Suddenly was heard-the slow and muffl
ed beat of a drum, and horn the extremity of the
plain was seen advancing a band of soldiers, each
earryirq in his hamd one of deem long radii which
: are still u-ed in the Russian service as the tool ilia
hateful punislinaent. dt that sight the General til l

Recovering from his stopor, General L grislierl

line, "To your knees, 'rile brutes, and tOg for

A savage chuckle was the answer to this 'threat.
