him to 6raw his sword for his home, were it only
as private-yes, even the last and least Of the
soldiers The General, however. replied 1t
cannot be, my Lord and Prince we are friends Of
the Prince Alexander karageorgeviCz, who has
supplauted you as yoRr father did his. This
Prince, your enemy has sent his generous aid
armed men by thousands-powder and cannon and
bis Falcon the hero Kncanin. We do not dare
to displease Prince Alexander as he is orr ally,
and he would be grieved upon his throne should he
know you to be in our ranks upon the banks OF the
lower Danube, and justly, too, for many Nahiers
and crowds in Belgrade would rise for you against
the son Of Kara. Gratitude however, and sym
pathy with our ally bind to Alexander. There
fore, forgive thy servant, that he must turn away
and turn back again thy heroic Princely arm, that
there may be no division in our ranks
" So spoke General George. The Prince ALicha
wept bitterly and stood for long time, like one
thunderstruck the tears standing under his eye
lashes; but he manned himself and said; All
wo, my lot is that Of the cuckoo Oh, wo that
can help my friends in the battlefield only by CIV
ing yellow gold and be threw down purscheavy
with gold upon the table and went sobbing from
the Generals tent. Early the next morning he
was off again toward Becz.''
At this point the old Servian interrupted him
self in his narrative and groened affected by his
own epicalrepresentaton, then suffered the stream
of talk to flow on And the old Milo was arrest
ed Arrested in Agram by DR.. Gay All! ah
why did the old fox slip into Gay trap? And
what had Gay against Milo?"
"You knew Dr. Gay, them l asked, aston
ished at this explosion, for although Gay has more
friends among the Servians than among the
Croats, yet had never expected to hear hisn
from the mouth of quiet mechanic.
"Yes-why should l not know Gay I have
often heard his paper read when my son was still
at home, the student who is now studying in Bel
grade and who knows those Croatish devils let
tiers, that are an abomination to me- There are
wise things III that sheet. He would gladly print
it in the Servan character The meant that old
formless monk-style for whose invention St. Cyril
will be heavily responsible to God, but he does
not dare do it, because the Croats who are all
Shockazen, a nickname for Catholics and their
Bishops would burn him if he threw the Shocka
zian letters to the devil and wrote with the
Servian which alone please God" And in the
course of speaking again, coming to Milo, he con.
tinued yet, after ALL ! am sorry for the old
Milo he has atoned awfully for awful sin.
81 was often witness of his horrible tyranny. l
saw with my own eyes, how, merely to crafty
himself he caused two hundred houses to be
burned upon the street along the Save in Bel
grade I saw many Seryian head exposed upon
n bloody stake,-I looked on when with his own
hand before crowd of witnesses, he hewed off
the head Of an unfortunate who was brought in
chains from his Konak had been long grown
man when the people besieged the Prince Milo In
this very same Konak-it was in the winter of
ls35-to beseech him to honor the CONSTITUTIONS
which he had solemnly sworn-Milo swore and
cursed the righteous movement as a rebellion, and
ordered Rudoikovicz to dispense the people with
arms-to plant cannon before the konak, to sta
ton musketry along the Palisades and to fire upon
the assembled mass. At that moment Tho
mas Waczcz stepped undauntedy forth from
the crowd and the soldiers of Milo respectfully
fell Observation-Disclosures stopped his sword-she
arms disappeared behind the Palisades and the
cannoniers distinguished their matches. So
w aczicz put himself at the head of the people
and compelled the Prince to pause The old
Milo has much treasure and lives in luxury, but
something gnaws his heart 1t must be terrible
thing not to dare return to your native land
Therefore Milo wanders, forever restless, IN for
eien countries and cannot die. The greedy Milo
would gladly give all his treasure for one little
seryian spot of ground where he could lay his
weary head"
The good old man had worked himself up into
kind of excitement by his own pathos. He
gathered his fur coat about him, waved pleasantly
to me with his hand and disappeared with sunken
head behind the onion tower Of the church, like
spirit like the citysprit of the little old capital,
whose sentiment he had seized in such expressive
words.
Strange people These Obrenoyicz have NAL
treatedthem, as almost all their heroes have done;
vet the soul Of the people is full Of them, and in
their hearts lies an overflow Of pous Affection
Bv the remembrance Of these men they animate
themselves they live with them and in them
they find in them Poetry their Gods, their State.
Deprive the Servians OF these recollections, and
they would be no better than gang of robbers
who had lost their home.
For it is still the greatest happiness Of people
to behold living before II the forms u WHICH Tvs is
fancy loves to dream. And the god OF my Ser
VANS fancy is hero Of seven feet high, with
shoulders as tar apart as the two wheels of car
rage, with great fiery, saucer eyes, a mighty belt
with two cannon matches in it, and turned Turk
ish cup as liquor glass. For the rest Gentlemen
of Germany, there is no need of regarding with
contempt the phantasy Of my wild friends. You
have alsosa popular god on whom yOu believe for,
tune and salvation to be dependent, Your ideal
man, however, is a thick one with great head,
always wearing kind OF cap, who protests
against Church and State-who slams his fist
- +l, hooks and when he has talked himself
