more particularly this season, when, thanks to the

by the most exactng musician. Arrangements have
been made to remove the cause OF the complaints In
regard to seats. 1t Is very difficult, with such nl-

When Elspeth reached the warder'S tower
she stopped and placed the hand of the little
daughter in Heinrich's, bidding him to see to
the child; then in a clear, loud voice she
cried:
"Women Of .Weinsberg! I have read the
edict; it is true and sure. and the Hohen-
staufen has pledged his honor to keep faith
with us. The women shall depart in safety
and may carry with them the greatest OF their
treasures! SO be it, Conrad! and thus we
women OF Weinsberg answer your proclama,
tlon;" then suddenly finging her arms round
her astonished husband, she raised HIM on
| her baclx CRYING to the neighbor at his side J.:
"Lend a hand there, Jacob, and place him
firmly. and thou, husband, hold fast and fear
nothing. III carry thee to the tent of Con-
| rad himself~
And so from the beleaguered town, in
! quaint but solemn procession, moved men and
women, two and two. Many were the slips,
| and hard the task to be accomplished. bat
with unfaltering steps the brave Elspeth
marched at their head, with her children be-
SIDE her, and her husbands long legs dangling
helplessly by her AKRON; on she went, stern
and silent, with her face well set toward the
PLAIN; only, as she passed the great Hohen-
stauien himself, as he stood before his tent,
she paused to say:
Pardon, good Conrad, that 1 cannot make
thee fitting obeisance, but my treasure is fairly
heavy, and l have much ado to carry him; SO
l wish thee good even, and many thanks for
| thy courtesy"
"Potz tausend! Bonner and Blitz! Ham
