proposition to you from the Emperor of
Russia, to visit st. Petersburg
"From the Emperor? Impossible!"
"Here are your credentials"
"But, gentlemen, said the now agitated
mechanic, "what does this mean? How
have I earned such an honor?"
"Simply by your straightforward cour-
tesy and frankness, combined with pro-
fessional intelligence" said Mr.. Wolf
"Because we were strangers you did not
think it necessary to treat US with cool
ness or distrust. You saw We we're really
interested in acquainting ourselves with
your works, and you did not ask us, be-
fore extending to US your ciyilities, what
letters Of introduction we brought. You
measured us by the spirit We showed, and
not by the dignities we might have ezhib-
ited."
The mechanic visited st. Petersburg,
and soon afterward removed his whole es-
tablishment there. He had Imperial or
ders there for as many locomotive engines
as he could construct. He has lately re-
turned to his own country, and is still re-
ceiving large returns from his Russian
workshop. And all this prosperity grew
cut of his unselish civility to two stran-
gers, one of whom was the secret agent of
the Czar of Russia.
