and let one of those automatic conduc-
tors in uniform take you through the
/ Schnorr Nibelungen Frescoes.
Titian's beauties all need an obesity
remedy and Jimmie crticizes most
beauties" so severely that we have
| got to searching them out, when we
are tired and cross just to vent our
! spleen upon.
We all enthusiastically bought photo
I graphs of the painting of the Empress
| Elizabeth at the age of is, which 10
my mind is one of the most exquisite
| faces ever put upon canvas, and then
| highly elated with our presentation or
Munich to Mrs. Jimmie and Bee, we
| gaily wended our way southwark, FOL
! lowing the river Isar for time, until
we reached Innsbruck, on our way 10
the Achensee.
At Innsbruck we halted for senti-
! mental reason which ! am notashamed
to divulge, as the ridicule of the public
would be sweet approval compared to
the way Jimmie wore himself TO
shadow in the violence of his jeers. But
the fact is that the King Arthur of
Tennyson has always been one of my
heroes, and in the Franciscan Church
or the Horfkirche in Innsbruck there
were twenty eight heroic bronze stat
ues the finest of these being of Arthur,
KONG Won England, by the famous Pc
ter Vischer of Nuremburg.
So in Innsbruck we pause for few
days, finding it delightful beyond our
ideas of it, and exquisitely picturesque,
situated on both banks of dear little
foaming, yellow river with foot-bridges
upon which you may stand and watch
ii rage and churn land around 1t on all
sides rising the mountains of the Ia
varian ALPS. which are not so near as
to crowd you. Mountains smother me
as rule.
l found my King Arthur perfectly
satisfactory, much to my surprise, for
/ am always prepared to be disappoint-
ed. Some of the statues are ridiculous
in the extreme, but these monstrosities
served the better to emphasize the dig
nifty of King Arthur's pose and the no
bility of his countenance.
While we were taking infinite salts
faction in them we lost Jimmie. He
emerged presently from a handsome
shop near by followed by man bear
ing a large box.
What have you been buying, jim
mie?" we demanded, suspiciously.
only a replica of Maximilion's stat
ue," he answered blandly.
You mean a copy my darling" I
corrected him sweetly.
Now Jimmie loves a fight and so do
I, so we Immediately offered a battle
to each other, Jimmie insisting on his
replica" and I declaring that re-
plica must have made both the original
and the second article, which when
made by another craftsman became a
copy"
Jimmie got red in the face and abus-
i've, while / remained cool and exas
perating.
But conceive If you can my utter hu-
initiation when, upon arriving at the
hotel, to discover that the box contain
ed, not Macmillan, but my dear King
Arthur, and that Jimmie had bought
it for me!
1 really cried.
Jimmie" said, in meek and lowly
voice. you are an angela bright, beau
tiful golden angel, and from now on
I'll call this a replica when I'm talk
ing to a wayfaring man. And I'll never,
never fight with you again.
Then gimme back that bronze
mani" declared Jimmie. IF you give
up the battlefield I'll start home to-
morrow" Which shows you where I
got encouragement to be 'ungentle-
manly" as Jimmie calls me.
Innsbruck is the capitol of Tyrol and
I love Tyrol. Its history is so stirring
its country so beautiful, it's people so
picturesque.
We got off the train at Jenbach and
left our trunks there. Then on the
same platform, but behind it and u
few yards beyond the station there is
curious little hunchbacked engine and
an open car. Into this car we climbed
with our hand bags and behold! on the
same seat with Mrs. Jimmie and me
was a beautiful woman in a gown I'M
mistakably from Paris, who looked so
familiar that we could scarcely keep
from staring her out of countenance.
Finally Bee leaned across and whis-
pered:
Don't look, but isn't that Madame
Carreno?"
Without needing Bees polite warn
ing. l turned and bounced upon my
| idol.
Madame Carreno!"
MY dear child"
What in the world are you doing
here?"
why. live here! And you? How
come you to find your way to this in
accessible spot?"
I'VE are going to the Achensce-to
| the Hotel Rhiner to hear Fraulien The
reese"
you have heard of my little friend,
Therese, and you have come-how
many thousand miles?-to hear her
sing and play on her zither?"
ITO do all that, but mostly to see If
she will tell me her love story"
How do you know she had one?" in
| quired Nine. Carreno, quickly.
II heard of it in England. Some one
! who knew the Duke told me-"
''It was a lucky escape for her and I
think she will tell you all about it.
You see it happened, ah, so many years
ago."
To my mind, Nine. Carreno is the
most wonderful genius of modern times
at the piano. 1 have heard all the
| others scores of times; so don't argue
with me. You may all worship whom
you will, but the whole musical part
of my heart is at Nine. Carreno's feet,
with a small corner saved for Vladimir
