seventy.fve frantic locomotives.

Then, as the worthy lord took the pen,
the curious tail was curled rapidly round
and touched the back Of his hand. He
jumped; il was as ifa needle had been struck
into him, and from the shot touched by the
whistle there oozed out a large drop Of blood,

So speaking, the little man walked slow
" through The middle Of the wall and disap-
peared. The Baron rubbed his eyes, and
would have fancied that he had been dream
ing, but for the little wound upon his hand
Then as he reflected upon all that the little
man had promised, he grew cheerful; and
when the squire entered to tell him they lad
caught An old Jew, whose doublet was full
fofbroad pieces, he became positively gay
After ordering the Jew to be stripped, he
aided: ..

Then the Barren took a flash Of Euddes-
henimer and then flash Of Johannesberger,
and then mounted his horse, called his troop
ers, and set off for the Scho5nberg woods
ysfY,e

no one to protect you from the old katz. :

"Well, have your promise, and another

And the lady Hildegard blushed; and
Graf Max Won Steinred put his arms about
her, and their lips were pressed together
So Max departed. .... .. .,.....s..,.
Now this happened the very day before
our history opens. And on the morrow,
EIildegard donned her riding attire, and at
tended by hermaidens, and six men arms,
rode gaily for Schoenberg, The sun shone;
the girls prattled; the sweet brown eyes of
fiildegard noted the scenery, and her heart
remembered Max; and SO they rode slowly
along till the sun began to decline in the
heavens, and to slonthis goldenrays through
the foliage of thewoods. Then one Of the
troopers rode up to Hildegard, and dofing
his bonnet-cap, said.
"Would it please you, noble lady, to prick
on a little faster? / do not think we will
reach Schoenberg before night fall"
Il don't think you will" cried gruf
voice from bush; and then there was the
cranp Of mailed steeds and the ring of arms,
and twenty troopers headed by Kaizenellen-
bogen, surrounded the party Of Hildegard.
Resistance was useless, and the poor lady
found herself by night-fall a prisoner in one
Of the turret-rooms Of the fierce Barren. "a,
And when the moonlight was clear in
heaven and cleaned upon the awih Rhine,
she, tried with Weeping, sat leaning her
head upon her hand by the window. She

Lorelei. when she saw light cloud rise slow.
