'In orlllritlibrji^mtytjfather some potatoes, sir. 'Kcnly a fact?'said the general in an undertime. 'Have -you gut them in ynundcr sack ?' 'Yes, the best out of our cellar,' re plied Fritz as ho took the sack froiii his shuuldcr and opened iL 'Just see here, sir, all round and smooth as pebbles.'

In the meantime you can leave your sack here.' Fritz laid his sack upon thegrouud, slipped into the tent chamber, and seated himself in a largo arm chair, which appeared to him uncommonly easy and comfortable. Exhausted by the severe w'alking of that day, and more so by nervous excitement, he soon fell intoa* sound sleep. In this condition the general found him, when, after the space of half an hour, be entered the chamber. He left him sleeping quietly and step ped softly into his tent. When Fritz was forgetting care in the refreshing arms of sleep, the .gen eral was aetivc in ^u'.s behalf till he; had huntooj t.p tllo old scrfcejjut, MWJ tin* Bolleijinhn, |i|ij t!hd ljiapJeuWg' regiment. Without -delay he ordered Boiler man's presanec at supper, lie also; invited some few superior oflieers, and (lid not forget to impart some extra orders to the cook. In those days supper was eaten ear-' Her In the day than nuw. The guests assembled at an early hour and seated themselves at the table. Not a few of them were suprised to sec an orderly, in an orderly's uniform, at the table of a general. But the most surprised was Sergeant Boiler-man himself. The most remarkable thing on the general's table was a large covered tureen, which the guests supposed to contain a very costly and delicate dish, as they wcro easting many a wistful glance at it. The general naturally enough no ticed their curiosity, butdiilnot make the least mjsvo to^atibfy id| ?'j'A ? He smiled when he glanced at the dish and exchanged occasionally a significant look with his adjutant, from whom no one could discover anything, since the secret was confin ed to those two. Curiosity now termi nated in the highest surprise. At lust the general bade the ser geant uncover the tureen,so here all eyes were intently fixed upon the secret dish. What did they behold ? Potatoes in the skin, which, indeed, appeared neat and appetizing,and yet disappointed jtf noy'Bmall dogTee^he; pampered tastes of tlie" gTfesft.Vho finrt expected something entirely different. The only one who was heartily glad was Sergeant Bolleiiua.it, who could, scarcely restrain himself from givirg some expression to his pleasant stir pri.-e. 'Until now, gentlemen,' observed the general, while a p'cnsHiit smile was playing upon his lace, 'till now you have been my guests, henccfotlh, if you wish to partake of those line pota toes, you address yourself to Sergeant Bollcrmnn. They are his.' ? . Tho gentlemen sbrngged i.their shoulders. However, the general seemed to worry himself in no way at this decided mark of disapprobation on their part. 'If you only knew in what manner the potatoes came into camp,' he con tinued, 'you would think it to your honor to get even one of them.' 'Jlpw so? How did that come Jo fsafd lie, |bu? fpst ??f illtj be hl casgVanfl 'tiikc'Uur scntjl? tne Stm)lcJ?rpijhpeil pa-s?' Aftkcd the gentlemen. 'Please narrate the circumstances.' 'I? Oh, no, gentlemen. I am a poor hand at telling a pretty story,' replied the general. 'But since I have observed that yourselves as well as our excellent Bollerinnii, have been somewhat an noyed by curiosity, 1 shall endeavor to satis'y your curiosity in another f?ntfi .fMi,C^ Adjutant, ple^sif 'load hitfio'r niy Hille Story teller.' | I ji if j .

The heart of old BoUcmian now beat almost to bursting, and faint forebodings of the truth seemed to dawn in his mind.

Both were held in each other's embrace for a long time. The officers were deeply moved spectators {ofjthc scene, and even from the eyes of the general, who was a kind-hearted and good man, there fell a tear of joy and sympathy. His friendly iuterfcrance finally separated lite father and son, and in some de gree calmed their excited feelings. 'Tell your story, my lad, how and in what manner have you come hither,' ifl d not 'hclitatc' {fit wciV a? l/ing^laM Your true filial alfoctiou well deserves this honor. Fritz looked affectionately at the general, took his father by the hand, sat by his side, and went on to relate what we already know. 1 ?'

Again and again he would embrace his courageous boy, and impress more than .11 hundred kisses upon, ids llu*li arid 1-Qldy faU^dllingi lftAnberlcss questions to him, to all of which he replied with an honest and frank re sponse; " ? At a signal from the generJ. all those present vacated the tent, ami left the delighted father alone with his son. After the lapse of half tlii hour, the general returned and presented the brave old sergeant with a note ol dismission in one hand, and a purse filled with gold in the other. 'There is your discharge, my friend, ?fui|j ivilhv it ji life's penslou for .your ^maititdtfaiicc, 2a}l?iftecoaaiife? 01 rgtft remembrance for your excellent hoy, which we officers have contributed for him.

'My God ! genera',, your grace is too kind to me,' stammered out the de lighted orderly, who hardly knew at which he should rejoice the most, the condescension of the commanding ip'ftlCcr, n,t-. his pension, or the wealth of His dertS* Soldatenfrit/,e.
