A glance of the eye and a smile they received from their friends as they passed, but no man turned his head. "There he is," said Jane. "It is Kellerman in the second row, see?" "Sure enough, it is Kellerman," said Ethel. "Well, what has come to Winnipeg?" "War," said Jane solemnly. "And a good many more of the boys will be going too, if they are any good."
"I don't like to go through all those men," she said, "though I should like greatly to see Kellerman," she added. "I wonder if I could see him." "Kellerman?" "Yes, he's Jane's special, you know," said Ethel. "They ran close together for the German prize, you remember. You don't know him? A little Jew chap." "No, I don't know him," said Smart. "But you can certainly see him if you wish.
Suddenly the stillness was broken by a challenge, 'QUI VIVE? 'France! 'Kellerman! 'Foy! 'Is it you, General? come nearer to us. At that moment we were passing over a little hillock, at the foot of which was a hut, in which Kellerman and some of his officers had halted.
Yet the fact is, that the Guard took no part in the charge of Kellerman, who could assemble only 500 heavy cavalry; and with this handful of brave men he cut in two the Austrian column, which had overwhelmed Desaix's division, and had made 6000 prisoners. The Guard did not charge at Marengo until nightfall.
Sounds crazy, doesn't it, all the same it's fact. I don't mind telling you the whole thing if you care to hear it. I won't give you the right names because there's a woman in the case, but I bet I'll lift your hair." Kellerman did not seem elated. "I don't mind listening to your story," said he, "on one condition." "What's that?"
"Do you mean to say you joined up to go away?" inquired Ethel. "That's what," said Kellerman. "But you are I mean I do not see " Ethel stopped in confusion. "What you mean, Miss Murray, is that you are surprised at a Jew joining a military organisation," said Kellerman with a quiet dignity quite new to him.
This mountain-vineyard had been given by Napoleon to Kellerman; but Napoleon's gifts were as precarious as himself, and the Johannisberg fell into hands that better deserved it. At the peace of 1814 it was presented by the Emperor Francis to the great statesman who had taught his sovereign to set his foot on the neck of the conqueror of Vienna.

The following was related to Marshal Kellerman by the Emperor at Mayence the last of April: "The day after the signing of the famous Concordat of Fontainebleau, the Pope dined in public with me; but in the night he was ill, or pretended to be. He was a lamblike, honest, and truly good man, whom I highly esteemed and loved, and who had some regard for me I am sure.
A magnificent body of heavy cavalry under Kellerman, nearly 5,000 strong, and several more battalions of artillery were added to Ney's army during the battle of Quatre Bras; but his effective infantry force never exceeded 16,000. When the battle began, the greater part of the Duke's army was yet on its march towards Quatre Bras from Brussels and the other parts of its cantonments.
