CHAPTER III.
WHAT Is TO BE DONE?


The matter would have been easy
enough to settle if it had not been for
the horrible pile of bills that were due
to the aspiring tailor. Now it was clear
why he had been so accommodating
He had never once asked for a single
mark. he had supplied suits for the
grand ducal family, and court dresses
for the servants, and theatrical dresses
for the stage, and only few months
before he had supplied new uniforms to
all the army-about So privates and 81
oficers-without SO much as murmur.
What was to be done?
Baron Won Dernfeld was shrewd
old man. In appearance he was not un-
like weasel, out his blood was as blue
as his masters, and he felt the terrible
disgrace that threatened the grand du-
cal house. He. was nearly go years
old, and he had spent tolerably long
life in advising two successive grand
dukes. He was a diplomatist, too, OF
the old school, and nobody appreciated
more than he did the great diplomatic
axiom that speech was given to man IN
order to conceal his thoughts. He was
rather slow in seeing his way in any
emergency, but the reason OF this per
haps was that his way was always sc
roundabout that it took very long tirne
for his mind to get over the ground,
Consequently was not surprising that,
although he had spent whole night in
discussing the great family difficulty
with his serene master, he was as fa1
from seeing his way out OF it at the end
as he was at the beginning. He had got
far enough, however, to appreciate the
situation in all it's gravity.
The princess was evidently in love
with the tailor. The tailor was certain
" rich and handsome and the grand
duke was certainly hopelessly in debt to
the tailor. But his diplomatic mind did
not give up the great conundrum. for
several days he secluded himself III his
own apartments in the palace, and 1t
was reported that he smoked more to,
bacco and drank more beer during those
days than he had done for many long
wear before. But, as the old adage goes,
all things come to those who wait, and
at length a bright idea flashed into the
old minister's mind, and he hurried
away to the grand ducal chamber to
pour advice into his master S ear.
It was to this effect-the tailor must
be dealt with automatically. He must
be treated with the utmost cordially,
lust as if his amorous designs were ut
terly unknown and unsuspected- The
bills must be all paid, not in the coin @!
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1894-11-28

was too quick for him. Before he could
bring his ak round again the wolf was
at his throat. His teeth grazed his flesh
and fixed themselves in the leathern
apron that was tied round his neck.
This gave way, and down fell the wolf.
Fritz took two steps to one side to give
his arm room to strike, and with a quick
blow half severed the brute's head from
his body. But he had still to try con-
clusions with the third, which was tho
largest and fercest Of the three.
When Fritz had first caught up the
child, the third VOLTS headlong speed
had carried it far beyond its compan-
ions, so that it came to the attack sew
eral seconds after both Of them had fall
en-. But when it did come it came in
grim earnest. With fearful howl it
leaped right at the brave miller's throat
He stepped aside little, causing 1T to
miss its aim, but as it dropped the brute
caught his right hand in its mouth and
bit it horribly. It again returned to the
charge and this time managed to get
hold of the miller's jerkin with it's
teeth, where it hung for second or
two. pendulous. The miller could not
strike and vas at sad disadvantage
because his left hand was firmly holding
his precious charge, who never uttered
one cry, but clung to his neck with
trembling arms. But he shook himself
free from his assailant, which, however,
again and again renewed the attack,
bounding up time after time. evidently
with the purpose of seizing the miller
by the throat and giving him no ochanee
to make fair blow with his weapon.
All the time the brute was bowling in
q fearful manner, and the stout miller,
whose blood was now flowing freely,
was beginning to think that his hour
was come. But the thought of the pre-
cious charge that he sheltered ON his
shoulder buoyed up his courage, and
mastering all his strength he gave
sudden jerk to free himself from the
beast, and running several yards turned
round in new position.
With savage howl the wolf rushed
at him. again open mouthed, but this
time the trnsty ak and the true hand did

CHAPTER II.
FRITZ MULLEF, THE COURT TAILOR

FRITZ MUILEF, THE COURT TAILOR.
Our story skips over several centuries.
The social earthquake Of the French
revolution, which set up and pulled
down so many royal houses, had left the
dynasty Of Wolfsteinberg untouched.
The margrave of the day had been one
of those who so unpatriotically assisted
the great Napoleon, but the only reward
that he received for his perfdy was the
substitution Of the grand ducal title for
the time honored name Of margrave.
The old castle where Otto the Good had
lived his time had long been in ruins,
and new palace had gradually grown
out of hunting castle, built close to
the spot where Fritz, the miller, had i'm
mortalized himself. Their serene high
nesses the first and second grand dukes
had enlarged and decorated it in the

their work, and the red blood spurted
into the air from death wound be-
tween the eyes.
Thus did Fritz slay the three wolves,
saving the little lady Of the castle from
a ghastly death and her fathers noble
house from bitter mourning. The fame
of the deed few far and wide, and the
name Of Fritz Muller was soon in all
mems mouths. Bonfres were lit ON ev-
cry hill in Otto's territory to show the
peoples joy at the saving of his daugh-
ter's life. Men and women came by
hundreds from all parts to shake hands
with the brave Fritz and congratulate
him ON his victory. Nor was the mar
grave behind his subjects in his graft
tude to the savior Of his child. With
noble warmth he pressed him to his
bosom, peasant though be was, and told
him that he had saved two lives, his
daughters and her fathers, for If she
hsd fallen a victim it would have
brought his own gray hairs with sorrow
to the grave. He at once gave orders for
wolf stone to be cut and set up on the
spot where the deed was done, and fer
three acres to be measured round it to
be handed over forever to Fritz Muller
and his descendants. But here a little
thing cropped up that marred the JOY OF
all the people and for time caused bad
blood between the mobiles and the peas
antry. The kaiser had lately renewed
an old decree of the empire that no Ger
man soil could lawfully be held by any
one but German and noble. Fritz,
brave as he was, had no claim to belong
to any but the peasant class. and the
great men who had the ear Of the mar
grave took good care that he should not
forget the law. And so it came to pass
that the brave Fritz, though he saw the
wolf stone set up to commemorate his
deed, yet was debarred from the more
substantial fruit Of his victory by an
imperial law which was almost obsolete.
But fate has sometimes in reserve more
than poetical Justice, and after 450
years had passed away the wolf stone
was heard Of again.
