it was remarked to be q fine shot. The

with . pistol. ain't you!" t'Of COURSE"
said Rorubacher. s.Take the revolver,

Rorubacher took the weapon, jumped out Of
the little wagon, and advancing toward the
ducks for about ten or twelve steps, then.
suddenly wheeling around and covering
them with the pistol told the deputy and
his aids to get out ofthe wagon. aud. very
quickly, as he intended to take q ride by
himself. Imagine the .*fceling gs' Of that lit

OF that wagon, for the prisoner-witness had
their only pistol in his possession. Hav-
ing got them safely into the road, and
mounting the. buggy himself, the ,facetious

surrendered his advantage, declaring that
he had no wish to use it, which ended the

Of the surrounding country. Part Of the
funds with which the castle had been bull.
were supplied by Bishop Werner, broth
er of the Count. Upon its completion, he
visited it and was 50 dissatisfied with its
size that he complained to his brother oi
the misapplication of the money which he
had given. The Count promised to explain
the next morning. Accordingly on the
next morning, when the Bishop had arisen,
his brother took him to the window and
showed him the castle completely surround
ed by armed men. The Bishop was great;
~ alarmed, supposing the soldiers to be
hostile. But the Count set his mind at
rest by telling him that they were his men,
and that it was upon them he had spent
the funds about the misuse OF which the
Bishop had complained, and remarklng at
the same time that ''gallant men are the
best of walls and their love and fidelity an
imprcgnable fortress" This explanation
proved satisfactory. :. t@.;
