From the foot of the mountain to

bottom is not seen; and when a stone
falls one grows tired of listeaIng for

there he rested his horse for mo-

He is making a vigorous retort to

Siemiradski claims that there is not
a mention in history of any Sobieski

why no Sobieski came forward as a
candidate for king at the election Of
King Stanislaus Augustus Ponia-
