celebrated Field Marshal Schwarzenberg used often
to relate his encounter with the notorious rcbber
Haburak. The Prince once accompanied iady
from Hungary to Vienna. They journeyed on the
mounts roads between the counties OF Gomor and
! lorna Heavy showers had greatly damaged the
roads; evening approached: the tired horses had
reached the ridge of the woody height but could not
be urged on further and the travellers were thus
compelled to seek shelter for the night in the inn of
Aggtelek hidingpl place of i'll note for robbers The
carriage halted before the house, and the servant
inquired whether room could be afforded he pub
lican replied that there was room tor the lady,
but that the gentleman could not be Accommodated,
the large guest-room being overflled. After some
visible reluctance, he owned that the gang OF Habu-
ak was drinking there. The lady became terrified,
and entreated the Prince not to remain but 1T had

so dangerous that it most hazardous to proceed.
The Prince tried to the lady so she locked
herself up in the room assigned to her Her compan-
ion wrapped in his white officer cloak, under which
| he kept his pistols in readiness stepped into the
apartment where the robbers assembled, and
sat down at the table, facing the window, whilst his
servant likewise armed, kept watch outside the
house, close to the window, in his master should
want any aid.
The company consisted of about ten twelve
men. Their rifles leaned against the wall their axes
lay upon the board which stood the wine jugs They
drank sang, and talked their adventures, and
did not take any notice OF the newly arrived guest
The Prince mixed in their conversation took wine
with them, and listened to their conversation until
| it had grown late. Suddenly he called the
publican, threw gold coin on the table. and said
This is for the wines these good folks have drunk
they are my guests. But now,' he continued, ad-
dressing the robbers it is time to sleep. In the ad-

he has carriage and four, and plenty of money in
his pocket he has the right to command US n-An

with loud tumult, from all sides

caly caught hold of his pistols: and threw off his cloak

any harm, singl whistle would suffice. The table

his men. They took up their arms and went.
The Prince greatly struck by the whole pro-
eeeding He did not entirely trust the robbers Words
and relieving his servant they paced UP and down,
thus keeping watch the whole night. But no rob-
Der again appeared On the morrow the lady con-
tinued the journey with her companion. The wealth
had cleared up and only the puddles in the lanes
and the drops of rain glittering the branches
minded them of the clouds of the previous day At
ter they had ridden about an hour they suddenly
heard the discharge of rifle close to them in the
woods. Haburak stepped forth from the bushes,
and bid the coachman halt The horses stopped ::
the Prince drew forth his pistols. But Haburak,
without needing his threatening mien, rode close up
to the carriage door and said We yesterday sacrif-
ced comfort that the rest of this lady should not

the trouble With these words he lifted the veil,
which hung down from the lady's bonnet and look
ed for an instant into her face The lady blushed
and the robber said She is really very pretty
He turned round, plucked wild rose from bush
close at hand and offered it to the lady with these
words Accept this rose kindly as keepsake from
the poor robber Haburak; and if you sometime hear
that he has been hanged, pray dee Maria for his
SOUL The lady took the rose, and the robber van

the robber Haburak had been caught that he had
been tried at the asszes in lorna, convicted of de-
