The reserve troops of which Roeder speaks were the division Loison, the last great body of men that had followed the army.
I don't think you ever called me by any name at all, or I should have noticed your mistake and set you right. Yes, I'm married. I came out here to get strong for the babies." "Got a boy an' a girl, eh?" "Yes." "How old's th' boy?" "Five." "An' th' girl?" "She'll soon be four." "An' yer husband he's livin'?" "I should say so! I'm a very happy woman, Mr. Roeder. If only I were stronger!"
It would have seemed remarkable if some one had not sent her a bouquet when she was going to a ball. "I shall dance but twice," she said to those who sought her for a partner. "Neither more nor less." "Ain't you goin' t' dance with me at all?" Roeder managed to say to her in the midst of her laughing altercation with the gentlemen. "Dance with you!" cried Kate.
"I was thinkin' I'd offer you that two hundred thousand dollars, if you'd stay." "Mr. Roeder! You don't mean-surely " "Why, yes. Why not?" He spoke rather doggedly. "I'll never see no other woman like you. You're different from others. How good you've been t' me!" "Good! I'm afraid I've been very bad at least, very stupid." "I say, now your husband's good t' you, ain't he?"
The money fell due the winter of the Big Snow, when all the trails were forty feet under drifts, and Roeder was away in San Francisco selling his cattle. At the set time Connor took the law by the forelock and was adjudged possession of the field. Eighteen days later Roeder arrived on snowshoes, both feet frozen, and the money in his pack.
Why, she had been told that as far off as Lyons there were placards offering a heavy reward on the part of the Baron de Roeder for information respecting the murderer of his wife.
General von Roeder, one of the noblest of the German officers in Napoleon's army a facsimile of one of his letters is given in Holzhausen's book says about the murderous 7th. of December: "Pilgrims of the Grand Army, who had withstood many a severe frost indeed, dropped like flies, and of those who were well nourished, well clothed many of these being of the reserve corps having but recently come from Wilna to join the retreating army, countless numbers fell exactly like the old exhausted warriors who had dragged themselves from Moscow to this place."
It is to be regretted that this noble-minded man joined to his warm-hearted disposition, broad outlook, and rigorous method a heated fancy, which, crippling the operation of these advantageous qualities, led his thought quite too far away from reality. Ahrens, Von Leonhardi, Lindemann, and Roeder may be mentioned as followers of Krause.
Roeder owned cattle on a thousand hills, and made it a recruiting ground for his bellowing herds before beginning the long drive to market across a shifty desert. He kept the field fifteen years, and afterward falling into difficulties, put it out as security against certain sums. Connor, who held the securities, was cleverer than Roeder and not so busy.
He and Lefebvre were at last caught; hunted down by the Baron de Roeder in some of their crimes. Dr. Voss had heard of their arrest; their condemnation, their death; but he never said a word to me, until one day he bade me show him that I loved him by my obedience and my trust.
