The former leader had doubtless aged terribly he must be a man of fifty-five or fifty-six, to-day; but Varhely was sure that Joseph Ladany, now become minister, had preserved his generous, ardent nature of other days. As he crossed the antechambers and lofty halls which led to the minister's office, Varhely still saw, in his mind's eye, Ladany, sabre in hand, astride of the smoking cannon.
The soldiers of Josef Ladany, after threatening to march upon Vienna, had many times held in check the grenadiers and Cossacks of the field- marshal. Spirited and enthusiastic, his fair hair floating above his youthful forehead like an aureole, Ladany made war like a patriot and a poet, reciting the verses of Petoefi about the camp-fires, and setting out for battle as for a ball.
What I have come for is to ask you to use your influence with the Russian Government to obtain Menko's release." "Are you very much interested in Menko?" "Very much," replied Yanski, in a tone which struck the minister as rather peculiar. "Then," asked Count Ladany with studied slowness, "you would like? "A note from you to the Russian ambassador, demanding Menko's release.
"If he is set at liberty, I suppose that we shall know where he goes," he said to the minister. "It is more than probable that the government of the Czar will trace his journey for him. You shall be informed." Count Ladany did not seek to know for what purpose Varhely demanded, with such evident eagerness, this release.

"These are queer days we live in!" thought the Austrian diplomats. The minister, of whom Yanski Varhely demanded an audience, his Excellency Count Josef Ladany, had formerly commanded a legion of Magyar students, greatly feared by the grenadiers of Paskiewisch, in Hungary.

If Count Josef Ladany rescued Menko from the police of the Czar, and, by setting him free, delivered him to him, Varhely, all was well. By entering the ministry, Ladany would thus be at least useful for something. The negotiations with Warsaw, however, detained Yanski Varhely at Vienna longer than he wished.
As an Hungarian was mixed up in it, and an Hungarian of the rank and standing of Count Menko, the Austro-Hungarian authorities had immediately been advised of the whole proceeding. There were probably no proofs of actual complicity against Menko; but, as Josef Ladany had said, it seemed evident that he had come to Poland to join Labanoff.
Joseph Ladany was standing erect upon one of his cannon for which the gunners had no more ammunition, and, with drawn sabre, was rallying his companions, who were beginning to give way before the enemy. Ah, brave Ladany! With what pleasure would Varhely grasp his hand!
