"The underlying reason why so much

partners to ponder well before pursu-

Queen Caroline was earning notoriety
for herself there resided in a small
town in the north Of Germany man
noted for his skill as public execu-
toner. Late one evening two men in
military uniform called upon this per-
son and requested him to accompany
them, as his services were required at
some distance and would be literally
rewarded, but that he must consent to
be blindfolded. To this, after some de-
muir, he consented and entered the car

parently they drove long distance,
and at last by the sound he judged that
they had crossed a bridge and entered
a paved courtyard. -

assisted to alight and conducted along
corridors and upstairs till at last, the
bandage being removed, he found him

from Is per cent for the left to 2o Pc
