Amu icau.]
THE TWO DRAG HOAX
Large and plentiful pasture?, cattle
grazing about, horses of perfect shape ami
gentleness, gazing over the hedges lined
with apple trees, natives of Normandy; a
bright and beautiful sun casting its r.ivs
overall, a hillock with its little path, down
which came it troop of young Normans,
singing clear and loud.
It was not, however, a holiday; for la
borers turned from their work to look at
them as they passed. This Sunday dress,
these hats streaming with ribbons; one
would have thought it a wedding, but the
hrtde was wanting; instead of a violin, a
drum. Among their ribbons were pieces of
paper bearing the first numbers of arith
matic.
They were, therefore, conscripts.—
Nothing was wanting to their felicity but
intoxication; aud this seemed to provide
for, as passing from village to village, they
mixed their cider with stronger liquors ;
and they are right. Intoxication, it is
said, is bad for savages, whodo not require
it; they are free. But to the peasant
who leaves his home, his love, to serve
under a corporal, wine is good, and too
much of it cannot be taken.
Behind the troop came two young
peasants ; one of middle size, and mild
and gentle countenance, down which
large tears were rolling; the other, tall,
stout, with red hair, and cheeks as red
and rosy as the fruit cf his native pro
vince ; the most beautiful eyes in the
world, large, blue, anti joyous. Charlet
should have seen him.
But the expression of his countenance
at the moment was almost sad. Lean
ing over his companion, almost sustain
ing him in his arms, Norbert did his best
to console him. “Do not cry, Thibaut,”
said he; “what good does it do? and be
sides, what do you regret ? you are an
orphan; and as for war, Ido not hate it,
or you either, I will answer for it. You
are a little timid, but you have courage,
Thibaut; and if you were to see me in
danger, * * * The church would
have suited you batter ; but bah ! French
men like us were made expressly for
battle. Are you thinking of Girard’s
daugter ? She is not worth it, not she ; and
I, even I, had I ehosen, —but no mat
ter. Somebody wept for me too this
morning. But come, long live the Em
peror,—the King we must say, for it
seems the other’is reuliy dead. Come,
we wall live long and happily together—
come along.
The troop stopped at a little inn ; every
one called Norbert: ‘‘The laggards,”
said he, “I must go and make them
laugh.” They drank deeper and deeper.
The cider sparkled like champaigne;
shouts, broken glasses, tricks played upon
one another; songs, chorusses, popular
verses, even psalms. Even Norbert in
vented lines, less remarkable for rhyme
than for his native wit, —and the roars
and peals of laughter. Norbert was not
one of those who watch the sensation they
produce, but seeing Thibaut next him,
and laughing in spite of himself, the good
hearted youth drank more, till, had not
his companion almost dragged him to
the village, he ran a good chance of
sleeping all night in a ditch, in the open
air,—the right place for drunkards. He
would not have slept the worse for it.
The two Normans were sent to a re
giment of dragoons, garrisoned in Alsace.
Norbert particularly was well calculated
for this service, which patakes of the light
troop and the cuirassier. The dragoons
made themselves known in 1814, when, i
to finish oF, every one did his best.— j
They were talked of, and thanks to those
veterans who caine from Spain to the re
lief of the country, these northern men
have left more than one carcase to fatten
our fields and dogs upon.
Norbert had taken care not to !u> sr rmra
ted from Thibaut. “If you do not put as
together,” said he to the recruiting offi
cer, “on my word, Captain, I promise to
turn deserter.” The officer was young;
he understood the peasant, and Thibaut ■
was made a dragoon.
One Sunday night, two months after
he had enlisted, he was sitting alone,
near a table in the garden of a public
house, the general rendezvous of the sol
diers ; his cap was lying by him near a
pot of beer, and two enormous glasses.—
He was waiting for Norbert.
Just then a dragoon entered, surnarned
the Parisian, kiiown of all to be a danger
ous and ferocious man; brave, however,
famous for his skill in all kinds of fen
cing, and for twenty duels fatal to his
adversaries.
The Parisian advanced, followed by
two soldiers and a girl. All the tables
were taken. He approached the one
where Thibaut was sitting . and sweep
ing the table with his sword ! “Place to
your elders conscript, ” said he, over
tuning as he spoke, cap, beer and glass
ses—“go anil cape some where else: do
you hear me ?” Thibaut looked at him a
mazed at this unexpected attack.
“Go off,” repeated the Parisian, push
ing him violently. Thibaut resisted; and
the word brutal—the other had drank
a great deal; the blood flew to his face,
and two blows sounded on that of the
young soldier; all the others turned round.
Thibaut nas not a cownrd, certainly ;
VOIi. 1.-AO. 22.
lmt hts inexperience, his weakness, his
bewilderment, the Parisian’s reputation,
the scornful words and looks that over
whelmed him—the girl had thrown In r
self between them; suddenly lie picked
up his cap and walked out-not without
darting a fiery glance at the Parisian—
not without thinking of revenge; hut
irrief and shame almost overpowered him,
and he tho’t most of Norbert.
He sought him as if by instinct. He
perceived him at length, walking quietly
along, arm in arm, with a tall and pretty
peasant girl, who was laughing,like him,
with all her heart. Heaven krow- how
the Norman patois and Alsacien language
could be talked and understood togeiht
Two months of service hail already m de.
Norbert an accomplished cavalier; and
when the clasps of his cap surrounded
his animated countenance; when the
steel of his visor gleamed brightly in the
sun, his mustachios shook with laughter,
it was not to be wondered at, that the
young girls admired him.
They were both laughing; and even
without the kisses that past between, she
would have laughed on. Thibaut came
up to them. Norbert raised his eyes.
“What it the matter,” exclaimed he,
leaving the young girl. Thibaut threw
himself weeping on the bosom of bia
friend. His confusion affected Norbert
much more than that of his sweetheart.
“Have you been insulted, Thibaut,”
inquired he, bending towards him, and
sustaining him with his left arm. Some
presentiment of evil came over him.
While Thibaut, striking his heart,
“the Parisian Norbert turned pale as
death. It was enough for him to see the
Parisian to hate him, and to hear his
name to be sure that * * * —
“He struck you,” said he—“thousand
curses.—Did you kill him, the Parisian.”
“It is my fault,” continued he, “I had
promised to be there, for once I missed;
but do not be angry with me, Thibaut,”
said he, pressing his hand—his large teere
shone in his eyes—“ I will avenge you—
come.”
“No, Norbert, I am the one to fight
him; you must be my second. I will do
my best.” “You!” exclaimed Norbert,
shrugging his shoulders; “You!—one so
weak!—but I have always said, that. if
you saw me in danger,—to-day it is my
turn; come. When we were children,
Thibaut, I defended you more than once,
and I am still the same man; and besides,
now I have a sword. I know you would
not distress me; so come.”
Thibaut followed him in an indiscriba
ble state of agitation. Norbert hud al
ways exercised great influence over him.
The young girl watched them as they rt
tired, trembling with fear, and no longer
recognizing her gay and gallant cavalier.
He advanced with a rapid step; nothing,
however, about him betrayed the assas
sin; he still preserved his manly and
martial bearing; his blue eye seemed
almost black; he murmured between hie
teeth; his hand played with the hilt of
Ins sword; the blade rattled in the scab
bard.
He entered the garden; the Parsian was
standing with his back to him, but it did
not take him long to recognize him. Ho
threw himself before him, and overturn
ing with his loot the table and its con
tents, he thrust his large fist three times
in the face of his adversary.
Whose rage was the greatest!—that of
the duellist, or of Norbert? The Pa
risian clasped his hand to hts sword, but
iron fingers clasped his two arms, and
eyes as fiery as his own returned the a
buse that poured from his lips.
“Hear me,” said Norbert; “I have
i come to kill you; yes you; so do r.ot
make a noise, for that will do no good.
I am but young in the art of fighting; I
have never touched a foil; hut I despise
you with your bragging—all of you !**
continued he, looking at those the tumult
had attracted to the spot; —“the Parisian
is a coward to have insulted without a
reason a mere child, and you are as bad
to have allowed him to do it. Stand
! back cowards !” and he swept with his
| sword the space around him.
“Come boaster,” said the Parisian,
I in a smothered voice, “your life is gone;
follow me.”
“I chose to go first,” replied Not
bert, pushing him back; “and you shall
follow where I please to go; and there I
expect to leave you on your back. Take
one second—only one; if any others
come, they will answer for it to me. I
mean to kill you alone, old vilian; here
is my second, Thibaut. If he has not
as much strong’h as courage, he is worth
more to me,—he is worth you all, and I
choose him to he respected. Now come.”
“Better fencers than the Parisian have
been overthrown befor now,” said a dra
goon to his companion. There is a cot -
script which has blood in him, or I aru
much mistaken.”
“Stop now Thibaut, stop,” said Nor
bert, as they went along. How childish
you are; it is my business. I could have
chosen a more experienced second than
either you or myself; hut 1 want vou to
get accustomed to such things. Do not
fear; I will fix him in one turn. You
watch and sec how we will act. If he
should kill me, do not write it home
immediately; and if you mee t the young
girl we saw just now, make the l>est of
it to her, and arrange yourselves to
gether—you or I, it is the same things
