Above all, he thought of the shame, the dishonor, and the proud heart was well nigh giving way. . On the evening previous to the punish ment, the 2nd rifle battalion of Kherenbul ler.infantry would have been unfit for ser vice; the men were drunk. They had got up acarousal in lienor of the coming day. But in the morning they, were sober enough. The drums ceased to beat as soon aa the pris oner had arrived in the middle of the square; his escort fell back. He stood alone near the right wing of the company. There was a dead silence; not a respiration was to be heard from all the many thousands gather ed on that spot. ; The commanding officer read the sentence over to him for the sec ond time. This done, he exhorted the men, according to custom, to dispense with all feelings of compassion, and to do their duty conformably to law. The colonel went through this part of the formality in a quick and hurried manner, as if he were unwilling fto perform it.

Vhfn he was stripped of his coat and shirt, and placed at the entry at the terrible . street through which he had to pass, he became pale again. Two soldiers went ahead; they marched backward, . with their bayo nets presented to his breast, so as to force him to keep measure to c'rum which brought up the rear. : The drum was muf- nea; ics slow and small beats bounded hie the music of a funeral procession.' When he received the first stroke hk features assumed an expression of pain, and iw& urm-set lips quivered sitglitly. Tins was, however, the only sign of sensation. Ciossrng his arms over his breast, and rvess- mg h teeth close together, his proud face remained henceforth immovable. His. mer ciless enemies enjoyed but an incomplete trfumph after all. They might slash his body to piecesi but his proud indomitable spirit they could not break. The blows descended with a fearful violence unon him. After the first dozen, blood camp; but never did he utter one single exclamation of pain; aever, not even with a look, did he implore lor mercy.1 An expression of scorn and dis dain was deeply set on his face, as pale as deatn. , When be had reached at last the left wing of the comnariv. hs lacenated back presented a frightful appearance Even .his most exasperated enemies might well have been- satisfied now.
