his spectacles, and proceed to read over
again the daily news which he must have
known by heart.
In early autumn, when We strolled the
sentry path on the top Of the wall, the
moat on one side, the town on the other,
beech and chestnut were afame and there
were hundreds Of plum trees and more Of
apple trees overburdened with apples the
color of a redbird's wing. Prices for
gotten, the town would be lovely, too,
when those fruit trees were in blossom
and the vines now rusty would be flower
ing and the hilltop park perfumed with
lilac. At any rate Of exchange it would be
worth seeing also when the lions Of the
stone fountains wore white caps Of snow
and the lavish ornamentations on door
frame and wall were crusted with white
and the dormers wore hoods Of ermine.
As for summer, II must be continually
fair. The flower boxes in every window
so universally that any house without
them must appear conspicuous are not
enough for these Aower-loving folk; nor
are the flower beds in the ground. They
must needs, some Of them. have gardens

shiny frock coats and striped trousers they
made a great show Of being well-dressed.
Some Of them looked positively dlstin-
guished, as they we're, in the science and
art Of Munich, but il was clear from the
way they stared at their portions of white
beans and macaroni, graced with stcwed
prunes, that il was a new diet, fitting IN
well neither with art nor philosophy.
In Munich ours was a triple personality.
To other Americans we were fellow-vie-
tins Of outrageous taxation and extortion.
To dealers in the produce Of gardens, beer
or vegetable, to bakers and to ticket deal
ers we were an unknown quantity, and to
ourselves we were outlaws, inhabiting a
paradise Of ease.
On free days we visited the museums
and art collections, in which. for its size,
Munich is the richest Of cities. On other
DAYS, when Germans were charged two
marks and foreigners fifty times as much,
amounting TO the awful sum of 10 cents,
for Americans, we lodged the museums
and listened for nothing at all to first
class concerts in the Hofgarten, or the
English garden laid out long ago by Ben

Middle Ages town which endures un-
changed TO this generation because the
oldtimers were set in their ways and stub
born TO progress, and which will remain
the one perfect specimen Of an antique
time because the present residents have
a settled, intelligent policy Of letting moth
ing 20 up to alter the towns quaint
character.
This policy, we guessed, had an in
direct effect upon prices, for they were
blessedly behind in catching up TO the
outside world. Our shoes, two pairs,
were mended for the sum Of thirty-fiye
cents, by Johann Bach,' as his sign Of
the wrought-iron boot announced-an old
fellow wearing a red KNITTED cap. For
a transmitted dollar we acquired several
small objects Of art and some English
books, beautifully illustrated, about
Rothenberg. And by accident the tax
was again evaded, because the police as
sumed that no foreigners would stop in
the cozy hotel, just outside the walls,
where for 20 cents DAY we nad COM
fort, good cheer and a charming view
of time-stained ramparts and messy
towers.
Rothenberg, however, was elysium re-
gardless Of price. There was "God
bless you" from every one Of hundred
children on the daily errand of carrying
mothers raw applicable to the town
bakers There were weddings, pro-
GAINED from the Rathaus tower by trum-
pets which shone in the sunlight; we'd
dings assembled by one cab, pulled by one
horse, in successive trips. Also was
there a town crier, whose voice, old and
feeble, nevertheless might have been
heard throughout the tranquil town, so
that it was quite unnecessary for him TO
stop every fifty feet, as he did, adjust
