soldiers were posted within the hall,
The Car was in a joyous mood, and,
rising, called out to Tie company:
Listen, princes and bcysrsl Is there
one among you who will wrcstle with
the C2ar?" There was no reply, and
the ear repeated the challenge.
No prince or noblemun dared TO
wrestle with his sovereign. But all ut

from the ranks Of the soldiers ON

said. 81 will wresllc with theel"

They cloa.d,,md presently the soldier
