If you know nothing about this arrangement, Herr Diruf must have given him his leave.” The chief of the clerical department bit his lips. “Can you give me the address of this Herr Gerber?” he asked, “I should like to send him a telegram.” “For heaven’s sake, what has happened, Herr Zittel?” cried Jordan, turning pale.
He had to run the gantlet of vigilantes down the main street of Stone Bridge, leaving dead horses and dead rustlers behind. He had jumped his horse over the Gerber Wash, a deep, wide ravine separating the fields of Glaze from the wild sage. He had been surrounded north of Sterling; and he had broken through the line.
For a discussion of the whole subject, see A. Gerber, Great Russian Animal Tales, Baltimore, 1891, who discusses the incidents included in the above compilation in his notes on v. It will be found that few of the other incidents contained in Gerber can be traced throughout Europe except when they are evidently derived from Æsop.
Some time after we returned to the United States, and I had left the company, I learned that, during the time Gerber was closeted with me, opinion in the company was divided, and ran high in regard to the course I would take in his case. All the men knew that he was deservedly a great favorite of mine.
Why do you think all of a sudden last night I seen your bluff through about Gerber? It was because I knew I had you where you needed me, Charley I never would have dragged you down the other way in a million years, but when I knew I had you where you needed me why, from that minute, honey, you didn't have a chance to dodge me!"
About two months after we entered the city of Mexico, it was reported to me, by the sergeant of the guard, that Artificer Gerber was then absent, two hours beyond the time limit of his pass. I directed the sergeant to send Gerber to me, in my quarters, as soon as he returned. Frederick W. Gerber was one of the four men, enlisted by Captain Swift, who had served in the old regular army.
“About my son?” replied Jordan astonished, “I thought you had given him three days’ leave.” “I know nothing about that,” replied Herr Zittel. “Last Saturday evening he went on a visit to his friend Gerber in Bamberg to celebrate the founding of a club, or something of that sort; we are not expecting him until to-morrow.
Gertrude was literally dragged down the steps by Eleanore; before she could ask questions of any kind, Eleanore had disappeared. At the General Agency Herr Zittel met her with the reply from that Gerber, Benno’s friend. It bore Gerber’s signature, and read: “Benno Jordan has not been here.” Benjamin Dorn stood behind Herr Zittel; he displayed an expression of soft, smooth, dirge-like regret.
"Didn't you say yourself Gerber, out here in Claxton that magistrate that marries you in verse " "By gad, I did!" "Well I I dare you to ask me again, Charley." He leaned forward. "You game, girl?" "Sure." "No kidding?" "Try me." "I'm serious, girl." "So'm I." "There's Jess over there can get us a special license from his brother-in-law. Married in verse in Claxton sounds good to me, honey."
To which he replied: "It is none of your business". For some time they could get nothing more from him. But he finally said: "D n it, if you must know; the lieutenant told me he would make me a corporal". The sergeant who gave me the facts just related, added: "Previous to that time, Gerber was believed, by the whole company, to be a perfectly truthful man.
