She is watch ing for the warm blooded sons of men and delights in turing fishermen into her fatal dance. No wonder that living rock and man made masonry here formed a happy alliance. Here nature and human craft helped the "dogs of Kuenring" to place their little rose garden and rear their terrible castle. the chief jewel of the Wachua, upon cliffs which like thea trieal coulisses, shove themselves outward at every salient point and are duplicated in the liquid mirror below.

|peacockss Feathers,


Peacoc!ss' feathers have been handed
down to us from the ancient days OF
mythology as emblematical Of treach-
cry. evil and misfortune. The origin
OF this strange superstition is founded
upon the following classical story:
Osiris, king of Egypt. upon starting on
his Indian expedition left his queen.
Isis. regent. with Argus. his minister.
as her chief adviser. Argus, with his
hundred eyes. or. rather. his spies. soon
made himself so formidable and power
full that he seized the queen regent.
shut her up in a strong castle and pro-
claimed himself king of Egypt. Mer-
curry was sent against him with a
strong army, took him captive and cut
OF his head, whereupon Juno meta
morphosed him into Il peacock and set
his spies in his tail. From this legend
and the various additions made to 1t
from time to time the belief has arisen
that it is unlucky to have peacocks'
feathers inside Il house.
