The other's face flushed, and his heart raged and sickened at sight of the man, that, once his comrade and benefactor, was now possessor of the woman he loved. But the figures of both stood alike haughty, erect, and immovable, face to face. Colonel Raynal saluted Colonel Dujardin ceremoniously. Colonel Dujardin returned the salute in the same style.
Meanwhile Jan and Marie had stood still, too astonished to do more than stare from one amazed and excited face to the other, as their new father and mother gazed, first at them, and then at the locket, and last at the beads, scarcely daring to believe the testimony of their own eyes. "To think," cried Madame Dujardin at last, "that I should not have known!
One word do you love that man? that Dujardin?" "You know I do not." "I am glad of that; since his life is forfeited; if he escapes my friend Raynal, he shall not escape me." Rose uttered a cry of terror. "Hush! not so loud. The life of Camille! Oh! if he were to die, what would become of oh, pray do not speak so loud."
This so excited their curiosity that he went forward nearer than prudent, and distinctly recognized Captain Dujardin seated at a table drinking between two guerillas; then he rode back and told the others, who then came up and satisfied themselves it was so: that if any of the party had entertained a doubt, it was removed in an unpleasant way; he, Marcellus, disgusted at the sight of a French uniform drinking among Spaniards, took down his carabine and fired at the group as carefully as a somewhat restive horse permitted: at this, as if by magic, a score or so of guerillas poured out from Heaven knows where, musket in hand, and delivered a volley; the officer in command of the party fell dead, Jean Jacques here got a broken arm, and his own horse was wounded in two places, and fell from loss of blood a few furlongs from the French camp, to the neighborhood of which the vagabonds pursued them, hallooing and shouting and firing like barbarous banditti as they were.
It would annoy me greatly if I thought you were not treated like a brother in my house." Colonel Dujardin writhed inwardly at this view of matters. He could not reply in few words. This made him hesitate. His inquisitor waited, but, receiving no reply, went on, "Well, colonel, have you shown the sense of gratitude we had a right to look for in return?
Colonel Dujardin was COMPARATIVELY indifferent to YOU. Will you undertake the task? A rough soldier like me is not the person to break the terrible tidings to that poor girl." "What tidings? You confuse, you perplex me. Oh! what does this horrible preparation mean?" "It means he will never marry your sister; he will never see her more."
"You are quite sure the bastion is mined, comrade?" This unexpected word and Raynal's gentle appeal touched Dujardin deeply. It was in a broken voice he replied that he was unfortunately too sure of it. Raynal received this reply as a sentence of death, and without another word walked slowly into Dujardin's tent.
"Well, when I am your husband, I shall bid you stay with your mother and sister while I go to Egypt." "I shall obey you." He told her bluntly he thought none the worse of her for making the offer; but should not accept it. Camille Dujardin slept that night at a roadside inn about twelve miles from Beaurepaire, and not more than six from the town where the wedding was to take place next day.
M. Dujardin Beaumetz, who professes to have given most close and careful study and attention to regimen for the obese, outlines the following, provided there is no evidence of fatty degeneration of heart. At meal times the patient may take only a "glass and a half" of liquid approximately ten ounces though a greater amount may be permitted if he abstains during the intervals.
Colonel Dujardin and La Croix raised the muzzle to the mark hoo, hoo, hoo! ping, ping, ping! came the bullets about their ears. "Away with you!" cried the colonel, taking the linstock from him. Then Colonel Dujardin, fifteen yards from the trenches, in full blazing uniform, showed two armies what one intrepid soldier can do.
