THE CONDEMNED' SENTINEL.
X.
WAR
A cold stormy night, in the month Of
March, 1807, Marshal , Lefebyre, with
twenty thousand Freneh troops; bad
invested Lantzie. The city was garris
oned by seventeen thousand Russian
and Prussian soldiers ; and these to
gether Withtw'enty or, thirty thousand v
well tinned citizens, presented nearly t.
double the force which could be bro't v
to the assault. •So there,was need of the p
utmost vigilance on the part cif the sen- r
tinels, for desperate sortie from. the •
garrison, made unawares, might prove
calamitous. '
At midnight, Jerome Dubois •was
placed on one of,the .most important
posts In the advaneed. line of pickets,
it being' upon a narrow strip of land
raised above the Marshy fiat called the
peninsula of,Nehrug,, For more than
an hour he paced his- lonesome beat
without hearing anything more than
the moaning of the wind or the driving
of the rain. At length another sound
broke upon his ear. Be stopped and
listened and presently ho culled, "who's
there?"
The only answer was a moaning
sound.
.114 called 'again,. and this time he
heard something like the cry of a child
and pretty soon the object came toward
him out from the darkness. With a
quick, emphatic movement, he brought
1
his mu ket to the charge, and ordered
the int uder to halt. • • I.
" Me cy !" exclaimed i childish voice,
" Don' shoot me, lam Natalie. Don't
you kir me?"
"He yens!". cried Jerome z elevating
the muzzle of his piece, " is it you dear,
child ?" ' .
" Yes, and you are good Jerome. Oh,
you will command help Mamma! Come,
she is dying !".
It Was certainly Natalie, a little girl
only eight years 'old, daughter of Lisette
Valliant, Lisette was the wife of Pierre
Valliant, a sergeant in Jeronie's own
regiment, and was in the army in the
capacity of nurse. . .
' Why how is this my child ?" said
Jerome, taking the little ono by. the
arm. " , What is it about your mother?"
" Oh, good Jerome, your can hear her
now: Hark I" 1
The sentinel bent his ear, but could .
only hear the wind 'and the rain.
"Mamma, is in the dreadful, mud,"
sail the child, " and, is dying. She IS
net far away. Oh, I can hear her -cry ,

Oo' this he hastened through thestorin,

In ;he soft Morass. Fortunately; a tuft
of (nig grass had been within her reach,
by which means she had held her head

Aelength, hOwever, she was drawn

'" Who comes there?'" cried .a; voice
from the gloom.
Heavens!" gasped Jerome, stoPping
an I trembling from head to 'foot.
' comes there?" repeated the
vo ee.
crape heard the ,click of the mus
e -lock; and he knew that another
tinel had been stationed at. the post

toad i his , story ; and had the officer been

il
le to rest where it was. But there were
ot iers present ; and ordered to give up
h musket,, , he obeyed with th it ato
r;aml. accompanied the Wilder to the
e alp, where he was put in irons.
- pn the following morning Jerome
Dubois was brought before a court-mar
tial under the charge of having deserted
hi' S post. He confessed that be was
gnilty, and the permission was granted
hini to tell his own story. •
(this he did in a few words, but the ,
cond could do nothing but pass sen
tence of death ; but the members there-
t
or signed a petition praying that Jer
oi e Dubois might be pardoned, and
th s petition was sent to the .General
.of the division,' by whom it was en
d .ed and sent up to the Marshal.
- *byre was kind and generous to
hi Soldiers • almost top, fault; but he
co ki not overlook so great an error as
tilt which had been committed by Du
bo s. • The orders given to the sentinel
bad, been very •simple ; and foremost,
,it f every necessity was annrder forbid-
Ai g him to leave his post until proper
relieved. To a certain extent, the
fia ety of the whole army rested upon
tit shoulders of each individual • senti
n 1, and especially- upon those •who at
night were posted nearest the lines of
the enemy. - 1
"I am sorry," said the gray-haired
..
A I I warrior, as .
he folded up the — petition
d handed it back to the offleer who
had presented it. "I am sure that the
m n meant no wrong, yeta great wrong
AV' S, done. He knew
-- what s he Was do
in *he ran the risk—fie was detected—
t,
h has been tried and condemned. He
mhst suffer !" , •
4 'hey asked Lefebyre if he would see
th.. condemned.
No, no!" the Marshal cried quick
ly :'" Should I see him, and listen l / 2 to
hit story, I might ,pardon him ; , arid
th t must not be done. Let him die,
lb it thousands may be saved."-
'he time fixed for the execution of
Ditbois, was 'the morning succeeding
the day of his trial. The .result of the
inrrview with :Marshal sLefebyre was
lit de known to him, and he was not at
al k disappointed. He blamed ..no one,
airwas only Sorry that he had not died
on the battle-field.
Wan e
hr ye done no' that should leave a
stain upon in name."
Phe captain tool: his hand, and as
;are() him that his name should be
in respect.
hi Tia f r f d o s i.
a e l ien in i ' t i e :P o le:e au : Valliant,
W th his wife and child, were - admitted
to see the prisoner. This was a visit
w ich Jerome would, gladly have dis
)e tsed with, as his „feelings , were al
e• fly wrought up to a pitch that al
ms sti unmanned him ; but he braced
' e stood it like a hero, had not little
Tow
die in the eagerness of her love and
gr4itude, thrown herself upon his Om
sonii and offered to die in his stead. This
tipped the brimming cup, and his tars'
flowled freely.
Pierre and Lisette knew not wha to
sriy.l They wept and prayed and would
willingly have died for the noble fellow
who was thus condemned.
. Later in the evening came a compan
ion Who, if he lived, would return to
Jereme's boyhood home. First the
condemned thought of his widowed
mother, and he sent hera message of
Jove and devotion. Then he thoUght of
a brother and a sister. And finally he
thought of one—a bright-eyed maiden—
whose vine-clad cottage stood ul i ton the
banks of the Seine—one whom e had
levet with a love such us onlY great
hea •. can feel. 1
" ,my dear friend !" he • cried,
i h
bowing his head upon hiS clasped hands,
" 3 4ii;i need not tell them a falsehood;
if the thing is possible, let them be
lieveithat I fell battle!" ,
His companion promised to do-all he
could and if the truth could not be
kept back,"it should be faithfully told
thatl i the name of Jerome Dubois should
nit _mix dishonor in the minds of those
who had loved him in other days.
Alprn i lig 'came, dull and gloomy, with
driving sleet and snow; and at an early
hour, Jerome Dubois was led forth to
in
y t ,
ceehis fate. The p 'cc :of eXecution
had been fixed upon a ow, barren spot
toward the sea ; and tl herhis division
was being marched to witness the fear
ful 1 unishment. They had gained not
More than half the distance when the
sound of some strange commotion broke
upon the winter air ; and very shortly
an aid-de-camp came dashing* to the

" Vhat shall we do with the prison

-.".Leacthitn back to camp 1" ; replied
the.captain.
The direction teas very simple, llnt
the execution thereof was not so easy;
for hardly had the words escaped the
captain's lips,, when a squad of Prussian
cavalry came dashing , directly toward
him, The division was quickly form
ed into four hollow 'squares, while the
guaM that held charge of the prisoner
found themselves obliged to lice.
• " Iu heaven's name," cried Jerome,
",cut my bonds and let me die like a
soldier !"
• The sergeant quickly cut the cord
that bound his elbows behind him, nod
then drished toward the point where hi.
own company was stationed. The rat-
tle of musketry had commenced, min
the Prussians were vainly endeavoring
to break the 'squares of the Preoch
troops. Jerome. Dubois looked alaon
forsome 'weapon - With which to :on,
himself; and presently he saw a Pro
shin officer not far oft' wounded. With

an instant 11 vas changed' in that
Pi on ,on and tit ‘ brigadier general who
temporary command
t his'orders or the eountermarch,
gloom was dissipated, and with
hearts turn d from thi.t thoughts of
AO the enemy, . .
would sell „his life' that day-sell it in
behalf Of, France—sell 'it as dearly as
possible. But he was not needed where
ho was. ,He knew that the Prussians
mold not break those hollow uares ;
so he rode away, thinking to of the
French cavalry, with whom h 1 it'ould
rush info the deepest danger: Suppos
int; the heaviest lighting must be upon
thy Nehrug, he rode his horse in that
dirt+tion ; and•when he.;reaehed it he
found lie had not been rnAtaken. Upon
a slight eminence toward -
,liagelburg,
the enemy had .planted' a battery of
heavy guns, supported, b'y two regi
ments of infantry ; and', already with
shot and shell much damage had been
done. 1
(Marshal Lefebyre i . ode up shortly af
ter this battery had been opened, and'
very quickly ruade'up his mind that it
must he taken at all hazards.
"'fake. the batter y 12.: he said to a
eolohbl of cavalry, Si an the battle is
ours.”
Dubois heard the order and saw the
necessity. Here was danger enough;
surely ; and determined to be first at
the fatal battery, he kept as near the
leader as he dared. Half the distance
had been gained, when from the hill
came a storm of iron that ploughed in
to the ranks of.the French. The colo
nel fell, his body literally torn to pieees
by a shell'that exploded against his
son).
The, point upon the peninsula now
reached, ,by the head of ' the assailing
column Was not more than a hundred
yaiyls - wide, and it was literally thepath
of death as the fire of twelve heavy
guns wev'e turned upon it. The colonel
had fallen, and Very soon "three other
officers Went down, leaving the advance
without a commissioned leader. The
way was ecoming blocked up with
dead men and dead horses; and the
head of the column stopped and lwaver
ed.
Marshal Lefebyre, from'his elevated
place, saw this, and hilt heart throbbed
painfully. If that column was routed,
and the Prussian incitntry charged over
the peninsula, the result ? } night be ca
lamitous.
But—see! A man in the uniform of a
French private, mounted upon a pow
erful horse, earparisoned in the-trap
pings of a Prussian stair officer, with
the head bare; andabright saberswing
ing in his hand, rushes to the front and
urges the column forward. His words
are fiery, and his look is dauntless.
-"For cFrance and Lefebyre l" the
strange horseman cried, waving his
sword aloft, and pointing towards the
battery. "The Marshal will weep if
we lose thi4 day !"
The brave troopers, thus led by one
who feared not to dash forward where
the shot fell the thickest, gave all an
swerable shout, and pressed on, caring
little for the rain of death so long as
they had allying leader to follow. Hop
ing that he might take the battery and
yet courting death, Jerome Dubois
spurred On ; finally the troops came upon
the battery with irresistible force.
It is not in the power of the cannon
iers to withstand the shock, and the
Russian in faptry that came to their
support were swept away like chaff.—
The battery was quickly captured ; and
ivhen the guns were turned UPon those
who had shortly ‘ before been their mas
ters, the,fortune of the day was decided:
The Rassians and Prussians—horses,
foot and dragoons—such as were not
taken prisoners; having lost more than
th 3Wc - aii7tulioiaieturned to guard
house, and gave himself up to the officer
in chargo. First a surgeon was called
to dress several slight wounds which he
had received. Next his 'colonel WM
called to see what should 'lit-done with
him. The colonel applied to the gen=
eral of brigade, and the general of brig
ade applied the general of division, and
the general of division applied to Mar
shal Lefebyre.
-" What shall we do with Jerome
Dubois?"
" God bless him !" cried the veteran
general, who had heard the story; "I'll
pardon him- to-day, and to-morrow -I'll
promote him."
And Jerome Dubois, iet time, went
himself to see the 'Tied ones in France;
and when he went he wore the uniform
of a captain.

"It's no no use, Becky," said th little

personification of despair. " I've tren

Becky went across the room and
patted her husband on the back.
"No, v don't take on., Nick, don't,"
she satd. "Thal can't be, for lie as

Better times 'li come. They're sure
to ; and you'll be rewarded for all your

I just knew how nice and cosy.we'd be,

washing stopped for Heaven only, knew
how long, by a great felon in the paint

queer little mortal she had Married, se
well - that she stopped crying first, and
kissed him between ,the eyes—great
frightened, light-blue - eyes, that seemed
made for crying.
"YoU stay home and mind theplace,"
she said. "I'm going out .awhile.
Perhaps there'll be-a bit of 'trek—who
knows,"
She tint on her bonnet and shawl—
such a thin little shawl—which had
been used for an irqning cloth, and had
an iron-shaped scorch between the
shoulders—and took up a basket.
The cobbler looked' at her.
"Becky," hesaid, hoarsely; "Becky."
She knew just What he meant.,
"The little children, Nick,"ishe said;
"we could starve but them poor little ,

chewed the kid. - And the fact that
"mother" and the basket were gone

of provisions.
• Meanwhile, Becky had gone a beg- ,
gino- ° . It would . be horrible, no doubt,
she thought, to take foodfrom strangers
—but she found there was oue thing
even more terrible, not to take it.
Door' after door was slammed in J l:ter

thought so. Professional beggars had
made- themselves nuisance to many
people, and how were they to know

Beyond lay a pawnbroker's shop, and
Becky looked at its golden balls and her
wedding ring. Site had worn it fifteen
years, and it was thin and frail, but
pure gold. Thi•Ough all she had kept
it until now. Must itgo? The thought,
was worse than begging.
Becky took a step forward, another
back. Then she began to cry a little.

But site grew brave again, and walked
into the shop, and pawned the ring!
It was not much they gave for it, but it
would buy supper, and perhaps Nick
wouldn't notice, and perhaps she could
get it back. ;That was a very faint "per

A new baby came frequently to that

The lost child cried, but Becky fed it,

The youngest, who had Chewed the

was discovered that some woman, 'des

child's blue dresS and other garments,
and had whipped her.
