Three Minute JOURNEYS
BY TEMPLE MANNING.

rN tour through Germany some
years aGo I chanced upon what
fingers In my memory as the
stranEest church I have ever
seen and ono that Ia intimately con-
nected with a legend that would be
hard to duplicate for the thrill Of
romance. II is located at oberstein,
and It Ia hewn out Of the solid rock
of . towering cliff. This Is Its
story:
In the fourteenth century. in the
days Of the robber barons. there
lived in Oberstein the reigning count
and his younger brother. The count
was q man Of wonderful physique.
famed through the land for his
strength and agility. and his brother
was no less a marvellous specimen
Of manhood.
They were without rivals In the
friendly contests Of skill and muscu-
lar prowess with which the days Of
feastina and idleness were spent. and
were unmatched In the frequent bat
ties that brought them their wealth.
Indeed. the Count of Oberstein and
his brother were the two biggest
men. the two most important gentle
men Of their day in the land where
thew lived.
Never separate. but living their
troubled lives at each others sides
and spending their quiet moments
in each others company. the count
and his brother one day CHANGED to
meet a beautiful young lady, the
daughter of q neighboring knight.
Both the count and his brother. fell
desperately in love with the young
lady. She was the cause Of the quar-
rel which led to tragedy and tho
building OF the church hewn out Of
the rock.
High up above the cliff In which
the Church OF Oberstein Is hewn,
stood the castle Of the baron. It's
turrets rose still higher into the sky.
And II happened that upon the top
most wall OF the ancient castle the
count and his brother came to a
reckoning and fought out their fight
on the castle walls. Back and forth
they strove. with bare hands their
only weapons. and at last the
younger ono weakened. The Count
OF Oberstein raised his brother In
his huge arms and cast him over the
castle wall.
Then the count was rent with re-
morse. AS his brothers body still
hung In midair before II plunged to
