hunchbacked. But great difference
existed In their faces and characters.
friedel was well looking and aimable,
fine musician, for his soul was full OF
goodness and 1t found expression
through the tones OF his violin. But
Heinz had ugly red hair and a more
ugly temper, and his playing was so
unmusical that none ever listened to
him for pleasure. Thus 1t happened
that Friedle and his violin were always
In demand 1or all occasions OF merry
making and frollc, while Heinz was
lett unemployed. Now friedei loved
Agatha, the daughter OF rich wine
merchant, and she, perceiving his soul
and forgetting his deformlty, returned
MS love. All went well with the lovers
themselves, but knowing the pride and
love ol money OF the maiden,s father,
they determined not TO speak to him
until they should be compelled 10 DO SO:
AT last very rich suitor desired
Agatha Tor his bride, and obtained her
fathers consent. Then IL was that
Friedel was Obliged to speak, though
with sinking heart. The wine merchant
drove MN away with harsh words.
Poor Friedel, quite distracted, wandered,
~ haAN'' nv '" AAAsiN'' - 80 49,
the chilling dews recalled him to his
senses and he sought the town. AS he
approached it strange sounds were In
the air and sights more marvellous met
his gaze. DAVIS and all sorts OF night
birds were screaming, and above the
tops of the houses the broom-riding
witches were trooplng. And all made
their way TO the fish-market. or Par
wiseh, as it was called, in AK ia-Cha-
pelle. Fr!edel also went there, ana
great was his amazement at what he
saw. The square was Illuminated Dy
little names In the air, and crowds of
female hgures were moving about. Then
Friedel remembered that this was
quarter-day, and the witches were said
to hold pinic on that day IN this very
square. AS he thought OF this woman,
who looked very much like the mayoress
OF the town and seemed 10 De the leader
OF the others, advanced to meet him ana
led hlm TO table loaded with all KINDS
OF dellcacles and delicious beverages:
She invited him to eat, and after he had
refreshed himself, placed In MS hand
violin and asked him TO play music for
dancing. AS soon as the violin sounded,
they moved away the tables and seats
and prepared to dance. Ii gave friedei
very novel sensation TO perceive that
while all appeared to be busily talking
and laughing, no sound reached MS
ears. Soon the lady president gave the
signal TO begin; then the violin OF
Friedel seemed as If bewitched, Tor In
spite OF him 1t would go quicker anu
more quickly, and the dancers faster
and more swiftly TILL all was as witch
Ike as could well be: AT length Erie
