Colonel ironically, "may I be permitted
to ask the name of the gallant?".
"Anthony Martel," was the innocent
reply.
"What, a common soldier—a hireling;
for a rival ! By Heavens !" he exclaimed
in a terrible passion, "unless you instantly i
accept my suit and reject the beggarly
churl, I will have him shot like a doE , for
his audacious presumption, and I will
give you but a. moment to decide his
fateP
"Oh, sir !" exclaimed Cadeline, "he is
guilty of no crime', and he has never
injured you."u •
"Has he not dared to supplant a Colo.
nel in the Freud:lan:ay, and he is only
a soldieri"
Lavillier, I loved him ere t
saw you. He is generous, noble, and
would iljure no one."
"Do not lose time in idle words; con•
Sent to be mine, or ere the morning sun
has risen, his heart shall cease to beat'."
I . "Oh, heavens, spare him 1" said Cade
' •
'line in anguish.
"Youiprea4 in vain."
"Give me but a single l daY to decide."
1 "Nut an htmr."
At this moment a majestic 'farm cast
!its shadow in the outer door Way. but it
loves observed by neither of the per t ons,
within the room, so absorbed ,wcre they
'in tlieirown affairs, Stepping aside so

"I. implore you to let me speak to
A.nthon,Y before I give you en answer."
"Not' a j word to him ; therefore in
stantly consent to become my wife or sign
'the death tvarrant of .Martel."
..Inhutuan monster ! I would rather
die a thousand deaths than to be your
sCife---4ven if you were proud Em.
Peror of France. Anthony fears no death,
and heiwould rather give away his, life
than h4ve rue-prove false td hint."
-Mad girl! you are in my power and

lThus, then, let me prove my words by

who had power to ask fur his pardon of:

0 unable to tell,
sunri,e,some soldiers were busily engaged
in placing red flags at short intervals on
a beautiful plain not far from the camp.
No sooner bad this been accomplished
, than the muffled drum and band playing
the dead march was beard. A company
of soldiers drjew near, accompanied by a
;.large number of officers, who came to
witness the Punishinent of death. An
tliociy Martel was walking with a firm
`step to meet his doom: Arriving at the
'spot de.qienated for him to die, he was
calm and unmoved at the approaching ed.
cis Twelve of his fellow soldiers were
brow , ht into line. Every movement
showed their nowillingness to perform the
odious duty which had been assigned to
them.
All , ,being ' arranged, th l e cornandant
walked up to Martel, and / taking him by
the hand he shook it warmly. Bidding
him farewell he gave him; permission ..o
address his companions in! arms. ,
This mark of kindness inoved the• con
demned man, and a tear) started to his
eye, but luckily regaining his composure
he addressed those who Were to lay him
tow in death.

"Commandant," said Col. Laviilier in
lan impatient Itone; "it is past the time
ordeied for the execution; separate them',
and 'perform Your duty."
With grea(diffmulty Cadeiine was torn
from the em race of Martel, and 'conVey
ed a distance from the spot.
The word .ready was giren,and quickly'
ifollewed by the seeund command present
,arms ,and the third and last fatal word
!fire was on the lips of the commandant.
when a stern voice from a person who.
stood a short, distance apart, closely inuf- !
fled up gave the command ,to recover ;
arms. I
So suddenly was the order, that every
eye was traded to the person who had
thus dared nocerelooniousiy to coanter
tuand an order of so importaot an ocea•
sion.
"Order that man under acres said
Col. Lavillitlr.
"As the person approached rapidly to
where he stdod, throwing the cloak from
his face, the' astonished officer beheld in
him Field .)larshal 2,lac'donald.
"Will Ccd. Lavillier inform j rne for
what crime the culprit I suffers ?' I ,
"For an attempt on my life with a
pistol," was the answer.
"Are you sure he is the guilt`v one"'
"Will you not pardon him ?"
"It has bean decided by a cop.rt par
tial that he shall die'."
"Still yOu have the same pow er to par
don' him."
"I decline all il3terferance in te cour.b
of justice,"saidl ne.
"I do not,"said Macdonald "therefore
I stop the execution. Anthony Martel
is not guilty.,"
"May I ask your e±cellercy who is ?"
said Lavillier, with an uneasy air.
"I am," said Macdonald.
• "Will you please to explain to me this
mystery ?"
"I will. Havinghusiness of importance
with you on the evening of the assault,l
called at your Mead quarters, and found
you not. jOu inquiry I learned thi di
rection you had takeo, and followed in

pursuit. Etuding that you had entered
Cadeline's cottage, I armed just in time
to be an unobserved witness of your vil- , P`
iainy, and the ball which only snattercd
your arm, was fired by'e, and had it
not been for endangeringjthe life of the
girl, it would have reached your heart.--
Colonel Martel, I greet yclu iu behalf of
the Emperor, to whom I trerelced your
case, dud wbo has betha pleased to confer
this honor and title upon; you. Colonel
Lavillier your sword; henceforth you are
no longer an officer in the . grand army,
and, now take 3.lartel's pike and receive
the(guns that i a moment ago were aimed
at ihe breast of au innocelnt man :"
Every heart beat With ups at the sud
den change. Poor Lavillier, trealbling
with' fear and shame, wall lead to the red
flag.' Again thej fearful oMers were given
but the heart cf the culdiir sank, within
him, and he imploied fos;tuerey.
I•Llow can you ask foil that which but
a few moments since youLrefused an iuno-
cent wan ?"
"I own my fault," wt , A the reply.
"Then I refer you to Col- Martel, who
has full power to pardodiyou or not,as he
thinks proper," said llabdun?ld.
"Col. Martel," said the disgraced man
"dare I hope for mercy ?"
"I'grant you a full aed unconditcnal
pardon. You are at liberty," -- as the
willing reply of Martel, ;"and do ;not for.
get to show mercy that!you mayl receive
the same."
By this time Cadeline hard the glad
tidings which spread rapidly through the
Camp, and : hatily returniou, she was in
his embrace. That day wa a glOrious
one to the regiment.and there was a grand
celebration in honor of Fi:eld Marshal Mac
donald: and Colonel Martel.
In the course of a few weeks after this.
event the church -ht Yieselle oveflowed
with those who assembled to witness the
nuptials of Martel and; his lovely bride
Cadelioe Dupee. And' many were the
little presents and keepsakes the happy
pOr received from the re.giinent,who lov
