When talking with this comradewhich happened but rarelythe big Ossipon suffered from a sense of moral and even physical insignificance. However, he ventured another question. “Did you walk down here?”

The same excuse, however, cannot be pleaded for one Free State burgher, who, lying down behind a maimed trooper of the Light Horse, kept up a fire to which our own men could not reply without fear of hitting their unlucky comrade.

For the moment the man in the door could not get at me except through his comrade, and I resolved to grasp the opportunity. In a flash I had reached down into the breast of my coat and grasped the butt of my revolver. Before the desperado in front of me could get his gun in action, I had fired.

Risler, not wishing to cast a gloom upon their banquet, abruptly raised his glass. "Come! here's your health, my old comrade." He tried to change the subject. But a moment later he himself led the conversation back to it again, and asked Sigismond, in an undertone, as if he were ashamed: "Have you seen her?" "Your wife? No, never." "She hasn't written again?" "No never again."

"You will get strong when summer comes. The weather is bad now, of course." "I don't think I shall, Filippo. Do you remember Matteo?" "Yes, I remember him." Matteo was a comrade who had died six months before. He was a young boy, about the size and age of Giacomo. "I dreamed of him last night, Filippo. He held out his hand to me." "Well?"
