A Point of Honour.

I WAS dining at a table d'hiHe in «. ' country of Europe where a decent dinner k 1 -till to bo got at such places, when my at t * tion was attracted by a tall, reserved raa „" in the uniform of a cavalry officer, who .4 H at the liiad of a side-table. Resides mow.. a Queen's Messenger, Captain Bolton, W ho ' I of course, knew everything and cveiyhodv' i from "(the gossip.of the legations which j__ 1 visited in a professional capacity; _o I bm_(A him who the grave-looking soldier might be ■-■' His reply was a startler. .' "A •« That is Field-Marshal Eisenbere " answered the Queen's messenger coolv W naming one of the first soldiers of onr, age! 7 . WM "He always dines here, and has done Bo ' ' ever since I have been in the line." " Odd place to pick up a field-marshal at $1 a dinner in a public-house, isn't it, at least ia these piping times of peace ?" . ■■: "Hal" exclaimed Captain Bolton, who like several of the distinguished corps to which he belongs, is an agreeable Rattle j " Ha, thereby hangsatale—don'tyouknow'" * I had just returned—for I, too, am "i" n the line"—from Barataria, -whitherl had been sent by a grateful country for not be loDging to one of the governing familiea '', mm then in power, so I replied, somewhat to Bolton's astonishment—" I did not know it," .'• " Well, then," remarked the Captain ! gaily, " I will tell it you when I have done * with this pheasant and melon salad, which Ii is too good to spoil for an anecdote." . 11 He eat for some time in silence, and with |"v -^ such an evident sense of enjoyment that I IffMi did not vcDture to question him futtlier, jp» • I though I noticed a c si-tain pre-occupied ait f about him, as though he were trying to recall some half-forgotten incident, or were, perhaps, trying to put it into language which would do more credit to his reputa tion as an expert narrator. By-and-bye, when tbe coffee came, he lit.a cigar whi,cl\ had been sent him by little Jinks, our Vice. Consul at the Havanna, and as the first wreaths of perfumed smoke curled round about him,, he thus delivered himself;— | " The Marshal used to have a son." ■, I As he spoke, the gaunt upright figure of f the famous military commander strode by. f- He turned his haggard face towards us as v he did so, but there was no speculation in -;. his eyes, and the life that was in him | seemed to serve only to carry a heart that ,> C was dead. Though every one at the hotel j§, made way for him with a sort of awe- 11' stricken respect, he saluted nobody, but ' I' passed out iuto, the street like, Borne mournful spectre, not terrible,- but } , unutterably sad. Then we heard the clank, |! , of his harness in the anteroom, and once his 1'„ sword smote against his spurs as he girded lit on. Then he was gone. His appearance 7 had served but to emphasise Caplaia .] Bolton's statement, that "He used to have* [ ■ The Queen's mesaenger, who had been . interrupted by the solemn^ apparition above mentioned, thiew back his head, perhaps to get a better view of his subject, took, a .. L long pull at his cigar, finished his coffee.. began his liqueur, and then went on with his story. ■ ' •.■..', -..■ .>, 0"M '[L : "Yes. as I was saying, Field-Marshal, t j1 Count Eisenburg had a son, who was one of the finest young men in the army. He was M in a light cavalry regiment, and all the girls, ■' went mad about him. You never saw a \\ fellow better built, or with more downright '' k pluck and go in him. Hang it, Bi'r, he do.'1 ' served to be an Englishman, and I used to' H tell him so when I passed through here, and f could get aday's shooting with him at. . E. Edelsheim—a grand place his governor had ;; 11 then. It is sold now. Never was a more ', L. cheery or better companion than Kudy. . |< Eisenberg. He could ride as well as Loid |» Cork, anil shoot snap shots with any one I you like to name. It wasn't all glittereither . | about him. He had been Out in a big war, . j^ and done all sorts of fine things. ' His nerres ■■■ |f were said to be wonderfully steady rU^tiL 1 \ I fire, and he had ridden well to the frobpSWj ' H one of the boldest hnnd-to-band fightM#fi H record. Of course.-be did not rise in rank ii very quick, ior the Marshal would not bear | of his being promoted out of his turn, and1' |f there was nothing of the cocktail about Mm, ' A so he did not put himself in the wa^ •(__' -I 1 special service to shirk his regimentali ;, . duties; but everybody looked upon hinij . j with good reason, as a man who was !boo__etlij|| I for every prize of life that does-not go by'" ;. favour, rsotachap in his regiment, from '--f^M the colonel to the piper, had a word to say against him. ''■'■ ":-"'": *'ii(m: "Unluckily,"mused Captain Bolton, again throwing his head back, perhaps for pKilosb.^»' H| phy's sake this time, " that was just, it, ' 1 People liked him too much, especially ladies. ' 1 There was a whisper that an .llustori-us ■ y beauty, not far off from the reigning dynasty, $ had fretted herself nearly crazy about him; | and though even the Court officials agreed j that he had behaved very well' in a mysteri ous business that it would not do to talk1 ' H, about, Rudy Eisenberg went to parade with a face as white asa chost after a maskedtoi, where it was thought ebme scandalhadtaken . SB place. I would advise you never to touch on this part of the story if you mean to make ■' j any stayheie. One thing only oozed out, , j" and this was that the love, if there was love, , 11 had been mutual ; and I have heard that 7 Rudy got a littl.r wrong in the head, after.it I was all over. Tho doctors spoke of brain 1 . foyer, and recommeuded change of air; wj I the old Marshal, who knew nothing aW- '. money, [gave his son about enough to-tap . him for a week, and sent him oft'to fy burg for !the waters. The devil's own .imj},. . ii was going on at that picturesque litj) ' hole in those days, and young Eisenbnrg , naturally found himself tumble headlong in to the set who lived where it was the hottest,,. There was Bob Cheyke of the Life Guard-, and Agincourt, who had just come into lri» r - title; with Ivry de, Videsac,..the crank Frenchman, who went such a tremendous.. smash two years later ; and Chrichion, w4 ■„' Mauleverer, with Jack Nortimau, BiriHWs taki Pasha, old Lord Chowser, andLcfonpt know how many more of the same lot. < I fancy, Kudy Eisenburg did not know what | to make of them at first. - ThefeW«ys»Wew*f> §! not bis ways; but he sop,n fell "into them. As mischance would have it, too, he spoke a little English, and that helped I dsA~n&h-.' j|Sh| for he had got many of the solid ideas'6fbi. countrymen about improving himself, si very likely thought fat times' tKat h'3 might some . day have to act Mb' part in a Battle of Dorking; so that it might he * as '■ :well; Ho> prepare frf*^"! the emergencies that would probably ' j arise out of such a situation, whether he ; was among the conquerors or^the conquerei__fi!|[, For a while Cheyke and the rest of ihttk"? , used to always find him in his den on ihfl'.m fifth floor of ft Cheap hotel,, poring'oy^^l books of tactics, and working out military' problems with corks' and pins, or one' ot'Sf those wonderfully accurate maps issued ,ty£'ri . his native war office. But tbey" Actor &£ badgered him but of that, add at last hew^j''H " for ever with them; when ihey were g<Hs&3l fastest. He rode a stcepk-ch'ase on Afiiu- :* : court's horse, and Won it gallantly for'hi_b'^^|l\ but he .also held'the hank against Ivry wla Videsac and Lord Chowser for three n_ght_rj&|i running without going to bed, and he Woa v''£HJ| nothing, as you may expect, at that gambfe fm The Lords knows,. what happened next. It , 111 was never made quite clear,. Some fsilovß-iylj will have it that M ortiman and Bob Cheyker-'lifM who had won a whole pot of money MibSW him, insisted on having it at once, and it is- ■ .M certain that a'cheque bearing the Field- j •.: s . Marshal's signature, uiven in payment ''^'ffß^l' | Cheyke, was refused by the Bilkcadorfs|hi»^jH|h bankers, : But, by the iir.t express (traihi^^^H attorwards, the old Count ;can_e';to Horo-'i-^sMl l burg himself, stalked into Bob's rooitf*'irtijljj - the best hotel, laid down the money on hi»*J|MWM toilet-table, and then stalked outagain w^"l|||lp7i''1 out a word. I hardly; like; *o, |ell on my ij|b '" j own responsibilitywhat followed, but LorjJ yB, | Chowser says that he met the Mai shal upim f^J | the stairs leading to Rudy's room, and that' K« be could not help beanug what passed be- ! tween them through the half pp£tt door of f. young Eisenberg'a apartment. It was \ cry, 1 brief. The old soldier sternly confronted. I his son. ' > i 1 ■ "'lche habe,' then said he, , '(las f, schmutzis geld. bezahlt. I have paid .the '-\ foul gold for which you have dishonoured, si us. Now do your part.' And as he ceased , If speaking, he placed on the table between } them a pistol he had brought with him. [ "The young man made no answer, but the next moment there was a loud report, and the Marshal fcame forth from the pre- • , sence of his dead sou with that white, a*b''» face you have seen, t c never smiled again, i 1 " All the set whowere mixed upiu DlO jL' affair naturally tried to put the best face pb h it| ' Bob s»ys he had a right to get his fe^ money, «nd so does Nortiman j but Chow?rri fc though he is a, hardish old boy, do?en t bKe , m to talk much on the subject, and I behove «& h^d to Consult his doctor respecting a {,'Wi^ ' K&i or something of that sort, which he ftt,W*^' **'*BK was following him about, and wanted t« ||';, catch hold of him when he was alone.' H| "Ah." I Baid, yawning, " very orA-, E|| isn't it ?" I did not know what else to ta>\ ||p and I don't know now, only 1 was glad tea* |p£ the story was over.
