peoples confidence was not misplaced
One day the emperor's adjutant.
Count Seckendorff, presented an officer
to him upon the latter's promotion to
major.
Congratulations. MAJOR" said the
emperor. The officer glanced at him
an instant with an expression Of as
constituent and delight, then bowed
and Withdrew.
Presently. to his dismay, Count Sec

thus promoted was one Of two brothers

later with the request that he might
be allowed to present the real major.
