Excerpt from Saxe Holm's StoriesThe gentle summer breeze stirred the grass blades on the upper edge of the trench, and part ing them, showed one tall four - leaved clover. With an exclamation of delight, Karl dropped his musket, picked the clover, fastened it in the band of his cap, and lifting up the cap, imprudently waved it to the right and left, calling down the line Good luck, boys The four leaf of clover!The next Karl knew, it was night - dark, star less, chilly night. He was alone; a dreadful silence, broken now and then by more dreadful groans, reigned all around. He was naked; he could not move; terrible pains were racking his breast. Something was firmly clutched in his right hand, but he could not lift his arm to see what it was neither could he unclasp his hand.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
