 within a small distance from the house, until it grew dark.

As soon as night had spread her dun mantle over the face of the earth, they heard a distant trampling of horses, bending their course towards the spot where they were hidden, and, ere long, a numerous troop of horsemen alighted at the public house and entered it, upon which the spies crept forth from their lurking place, and stole softly to the windows of the house; there they had not listened six minutes, when they heard a jingling of money, and, peeping through the chinks of one of the shutters, beheld a table covered with dollars, and surrounded by a number of armed men, among whom father Peter was, feasting his looks on the money which was spread before him.

Having now got every information necessary, they mounted each of them one of the horses which the robbers had fastened to some trees, and hurried back to the town with all possible expedition. The public house being

And last of all King Etzel; and with him Dietrich came

With all his chosen comrades and many a knight of fame,

Right noble and praiseworthy, and valiant and good.

Whereat was dame Kriemhilda much lightsomer of mood.

Then, to the princess speaking, the nobler Rüdeger

Said: “Lady, I will welcome the mighty sovran here.

And whomsoe’er I bid you to kiss, so do it then:

You must not give like greeting to all of Etzel’s men.”

Then down from off her palfrey the high-born queen they took;

Whereon the mighty Etzel no more delay could brook.

He from his steed dismounted with many a bold knight too:

And then one saw him blithely towards Kriemhilda go.

Two rich and mighty princes, as has to us been told,

Were standing near the lady her garment’s train to hold,

What time the royal Etzel went forward her to meet.

The noble prince with kisses then did she kindly greet.

She raised the veil that screen’d her; her dainty colour glow’d

Out of its golden setting; and many a knight avow’d

That ne’er could Lady Helka have shown a face more fair.

King Etzel’s brother, Bloedelin, was standing very near.

Him Rüdeger the margrave bade her to kiss; and eke

King Gibeche; and Dietrich, who was not far to seek.

A dozen of the warriors were kiss’d by Etzel’s bride;

Then gave she other greeting to many a knight beside.

 houses and estates. He firmly denied to have had any share in the church robbery, but pointed out three of his fellow prisoners who had been concerned in it; whether Peter had been accessary in it or not he could not tell.

The day following the three robbers charged with the sacrilege were brought to the bar, but none of them would plead guilty. Being put to the rack, the first of them, an aged man, bore the three degrees without uttering a word, and died a few hours after he had been re-conducted to the prison. The second confessed at the third degree, that he had been accessary in the church robbery; but declared that the third was innocent; and that he himself had been persuaded by Father Peter, to commit the sacrilege.

Now the hoary dissembler was ordered to the bar: Having heard the charges of the justice with a firm countenance, he replied, with great equanimity.

Now all the while that Etzel did by Kriemhilda stay

The younger men were busy (as such would be to-day)

With many mighty tiltings; one saw then how they rode;

Both Christian knights and heathen, each following their mode.

How knightly was the bearing of Dietrich’s gallant men!

Their javelins and lances went flying forth amain

High over shields and bucklers, by good knights’ hands address’d.

Then shiver’d were the shield-rims of many a German guest.

Then was a mighty crashing of breaking lance and spear.

The warriors of the country were all assembled there,

As were the king’s guests also,— a throng of noble men:

The mighty king was walking with dame Kriemhilda then.

They saw hard by them standing a very noble tent;

The plain around was cover’d by many a wooden pent,

Where folk might sit and rest them when work was duly sped;

And many beauteous maidens by heroes there were led

Unto their royal mistress, as she was sitting there

Upon the rich chair covers. The margrave right good care

Had taken, so to fit it, that everyone should find

Kriemhilda’s bower delightful: and glad was Etzel’s mind.

What Etzel spake unto her it is not mine to say.

Meanwhile her small white fingers within his right hand lay.

In loving fashion sat they, for knightly Rüdeger

Would have no secret wooing betwixt the king and her.

 "But how?" she asked herself, sinking into a chair before her mirror.

The most heterogeneous thoughts crowded upon her. Where should she go? To her aunt, who had brought her up? To Dolly? or simply go abroad alone by herself? What was he doing alone in his study? Would the rupture be final, or was there a possibility of reconciliation? How would Alekseï Aleksandrovitch look upon it? and what would her former acquaintances in Petersburg say? Many other ideas of what would happen came into her mind, but she could not take any satisfactory account of them. A vague idea came into her mind, and awakened some interest, but she could not express it. Thinking once more of Alekseï Aleksandrovitch, she recalled a phrase which she had used after her illness, and the feeling that clung to her,—"Why did n't I die?" and immediately the words awoke the feeling which they had at that time expressed. Yes, that was the idea which alone settled everything.

"Death, yes, that is the only way of escape. My terrible shame, and the dishonor which I have brought on Alekseï Aleksandrovitch and Serozha, all will be wiped away by my death. If I die, he will repent for me then; he will be sorry, he will love me, he will suffer for me."

A smile of pity for herself came over her face as she kept mechanically taking off and putting on the rings of her left hand, and with vivid imagination she pictured how he would feel after she was dead.

Approaching steps—his steps—caught her ears. She affected to be busily engaged in taking off her rings, and did not turn her head.

He came to her, and, taking her hand, said tenderly: "Anna, we will go day after to-morrow if you wish. I am ready for anything. .... Well?" said he, waiting.

She did not speak.

"What do you say?" he asked.

"You yourself know," said she; and then, unable to control herself longer, she burst into tears. "Leave me, leave me," she murmured through her sobs. "I

Straightway commands were given that all the games be stay’d;

With honour they were ended and all the din allay’d.

Into the wooden houses the men of Etzel hied;

And folk provided lodging around for far and wide.

The day had reached its ending: they laid them down to sleep

Until the light of morning again began to peep.

Then were the steeds bestridden once more, by many a man:

Ha, and in Etzel’s honour what pastimes then began!

The king enjoin’d his Hunsmen to do all honour bade.

Unto Vienna city their way from Tuln they made;

There, deck’d in fine apparel, full many a dame they found;

King Etzel’s wife these welcomed, as in all honour bound.

In all-sufficing plenty whatever they would have

Was there, already for them. Right many a warrior brave

With joy the sport awaited. All went to hostelry.

And soon the royal wedding began right merrily.

But not for all could lodgings be found within the town.

To such as were not strangers, did Rüdeger make known

That they must seek out quarters in country places round.

I ween there were at all times near dame Kriemhilda found

Dietrich, the noble warrior, and many another thane.

These, in their work unresting, but little peace mote gain

Till nothing should be lacking to cheer the strangers’ mood.

So Rüdeger and his comrades had rest and pastime good.

The marriage was accomplish’d one day in Whitsuntide,

When first the royal Etzel lay by Kriemhilda’s side,

Within Vienna’s city. So many men, thought she,

At her first husband’s bidding, she surely ne’er did see.

To those who had not seen her she made herself well known

By gifts; yea many among them unto the guests did own:

“We deemed that dame Kriemhilda had little goods or gold,—

But here hath she, by giving, wrought marvels manifold.”

The merry-making lasted for days full seventeen.

And never was there told of another king, I ween,

Whose wedding was more noble: such is to us unknown.

All folk who there were present did new apparel own.

In Netherland, aforetime, thought she, she ne’er had sat

With such a throng of warriors. I say, moreover, that,

If great was Siegfried’s substance, he ne’er had, as his men,

So many noble warriors as stood round Etzel then.

Nor was there ever any who at his wedding-tide

Of mantles gave so many, so rich and deep and wide;

Nor any such good raiment as here there was to don.

In honour of Kriemhilda was all in this wise done.

Their friends and eke the strangers were all alike of mind,

That there had been no sparing in gear of any kind.

Whatever any wanted, that presently he had.

Yea many a knight through kindness was wellnigh naked made.

Yet days of old in Rhineland she could not quite forget,

Beside her noble husband; and then her eyes grew wet.

She did her best to hide it, lest anyone should see.

After so many a sorrow much honour now had she.

What others gave in bounty no better was than air

Compared with Dietrich’s giving. Whatever Botlung’s heir

Had given him for largesse, that quickly lavish’d he.

Eke Rüdeger with bounty was marvellously free.

And Bloedelin came also, the prince from Hungary,

And bade men take whatever in many chests might be

Of gold and silver pieces: ’twas all to give away.

Then saw one the king’s heroes keeping high holiday.

The players of King Etzel, Wärbel and Swemmelin,

I ween that either of them did at the wedding win

A thousand marks for certain, or maybe even more,

What time the fair Kriemhilda her crown by Etzel wore.

Upon the eighteenth morning they from Vienna went.

Then was in knightly pastime full many a buckler bent,

By lances that were carried in every warrior’s hand.

Soon came the royal Etzel unto the Hunnish land.

In the old town of Heimburg they rested overnight.

By then the throng of people could no one tell aright,

Nor with what strength of numbers they overspread the ground.

Ay me, and what fair women they in his country found!

At Miesenburg the wealthy unto the boats they took.

The stream with men and horses was hidden, as to look

Not otherwise than dry land; yet ever seem’d to flow.

The women, travel-weary, had ease and comfort now.

Together had been fasten’d ships many and right good,

That they might get no damage from either waves or flood;

And many a well-made awning thereover did they strain,

As if they still beneath them had land and open plain.

At Etzelburg, before them, arrived these tidings then.

Whereat was great rejoicing of women and of men.

The ladies of Queen Helka, who erewhile were her care,

Soon many days and happy did with Kriemhilda share.

There stood and waited for her full many a noble maid,

On whom abundant sorrow since Helka’s death had weigh’d.

The daughters of kings seven still there Kriemhilda found,

Who were the pride and glory of Etzel’s land around.

The maiden lady Herrat, still of them all had care,

Queen Helka’s sister’s daughter, of many virtues rare,

The bride betroth’d of Dietrich, child of a king of fame,

The daughter, too, of Nentwein: to honour great she came.

Unto the guests’ arrival she look’d with mood right glad,

Whereto great stores and treasure were also ready made.

How later the king feasted— who could it all declare?

And with a queen at no time did Hunsmen better fare.

 and rather less like children. But Mr. Bright may rest assured: while we complain, we are still grateful. Mr. Wheatley, to divide our obligation, brings together, clearly and with no lost words, a body of illustrative material. Sometimes we might ask a little more; never, I think, less. And as a matter of fact, a great part of Mr. Wheatley's volume might be transferred, by a good editor of Pepys, to the margin of the text, for it is precisely what the reader wants.

In the light of these two books, at least, we have now to read our author. Between them they contain all we can expect to learn for, it may be, many years. Now, if ever we should be able to form some notion of that unparalleled figure in the annals of mankind—unparalleled for three good reasons: first, because he was a man known to his contemporaries in a halo of almost historical pomp, and to his remote descendants with an indecent familiarity, like a tap-room comrade; second, because he has outstripped all competitors in the art or virtue of a conscious honesty about oneself; and, third, because, being in many ways a very ordinary person, he has yet placed himself before the public eye with such a fulness and such an intimacy of detail as might be envied by a genius like Montaigne. Not then for his own sake only, but as a character in a

As with his wife beside him the king rode from the strand,

The noble dame Kriemhilda was given to understand

The name of every lady, the better them to greet.

Ay, mightily she bore her sitting in Helka’s seat.

To her was faithful service render’d right readily.

Wherefore the queen divided her gold and jewelry,

Her silver and apparel: whate’er she did convey

From over Rhine to Hunsland must all be given away.

Also with suit and service subject to her, from then,

Were all of the king’s kinsmen, and likewise all his men.

Never had Lady Helka enjoy’d such potent sway;

So must they serve Kriemhilda until her dying day.

Then stood so high in honour the court and realm around,

That men came there at all times, and chosen pastime found,—

To whatsoe’er it might be that each one’s heart did lean,—

Be it the king’s good favour or bounty of the queen.

In great estate of honour, as truly doth appear,

They dwelt with one another until the seventh year.

During this time the king’s wife brought forth a son and heir;

Whereat the royal Etzel could ne’er be happier.

Rh either to you or to myself. And don't be offended at my telling you the truth: for the truth is that no man who goes to war with you or any other multitude, honestly struggling against the commission of unrighteousness and wrong in the State, will save his life; he who will really fight for the right, if he would live even for a little while, must have a private station and not a public one.

I can give you as proofs of this, not words only, but deeds, which you value more than words. Let me tell you a passage of my own life, which will prove to you that I should never have yielded to injustice from any fear of death, and that if I had not yielded I should have died at once. I will tell you a story—tasteless, perhaps, and commonplace, but nevertheless true. The only office of State which I ever held, O men of Athens, was that of Senator; the tribe Antiochis, which is my tribe, had the presidency at the trial of the generals who had not taken up the bodies of the slain after the battle of Arginus; and you proposed to try them all together, which was illegal, as you all thought afterwards; but at the time I was the only one of the Prytanes who was opposed to the illegality, and I gave my vote against you; and when the orators threatened to impeach and arrest me, and have me taken away, and you called and shouted. I made up my mind that I would run the risk, having law and justice with me, rather than take part in your injustice because I feared imprisonment and death. This happened in the days of the democracy. But when the oligarchy of the Thirty was in power, they sent for me and four others into the rotunda, and bade us bring Leon the Salaminian from Salamis, as they wanted to execute him. This was a specimen of the sort of commands which they were always giving with the view of implicating as many as possible in their crimes; and then I showed, not in words only, but in deed, that, if I may be allowed to use such an expression, I cared not a straw for death, and that my only fear was the fear of doing an unrighteous or unholy thing. For the strong arm of that oppressive power did not frighten me into doing wrong; and when we came out of the rotunda the other four went to Salamis and fetched Leon, but I went quietly home. For which I might have lost my life, had

Rh I am arguing says: Yes, but I do care; I do not depart or let him go at once; I interrogate and examine and cross-exam-ine him, and if I think that he has no virtue, but only says that he has, I reproach him with undervaluing the greater, and overvaluing the less. And this I should say to everyone whom I meet, young and old, citizen and alien, but especially to the citizens, inasmuch as they are my brethren. For this is the command of God, as I would have you know; and I believe that to this day no greater good has ever happened in the State than my service to the God. For I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons and your properties, but first and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul. I tell you that virtue is not given by money, but that from virtue come money and every other good of man, public as well as private. This is my teaching, and if this is the doctrine which corrupts the youth, my influence is ruinous indeed. But if anyone says that this is not my teaching, he is speaking an untruth. Wherefore, O men of Athens, I say to you, do as Anytus bids or not as Anytus bids, and either acquit me or not; but whatever you do, know that I shall never alter my ways, not even if I have to die many times.

Men of Athens, do not interrupt, but hear me; there was an agreement between us that you should hear me out. And I think that what I am going to say will do you good: for I have something more to say, at which you may be inclined to cry out; but I beg that you will not do this. I would have you know that, if you kill such a one as I am, you will injure yourselves more than you will injure me. Meletus and Anytus will not injure me: they cannot; for it is not in the nature of things that a bad man should injure a better than himself. I do not deny that he may, perhaps, kill him, or drive him into exile, or deprive him of civil rights; and he may imagine, and others may imagine, that he is doing him a great injury: but in that I do not agree with him; for the evil of doing as Anytus is doing of unjustly taking away another man's life-is greater far. And now, Athenians, I am not going to argue for my own sake, as you may think, but for yours, that you may not sin against the God, or lightly reject his boon by condemning me. For

16 remained where they placed me, like any other man, facing death—if, I say, now, when, as I conceive and imagine, God orders me to fulfil the philosopher's mission of searching into myself and other men, I were to desert my post through fear of death, or any other fear; that would indeed be strange, and I might justly be arraigned in court for denying the existence of the gods, if I disobeyed the oracle because I was afraid of death: then I should be fancying that I was wise when I was not wise. For this fear of death is indeed the pretence of wisdom, and not real wisdom, being the appearance of knowing the unknown; since no one knows whether death, which they in their fear apprehend to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good. Is there not here conceit of knowledge, which is a disgraceful sort of ignorance? And this is the point in which, as I think, I am superior to men in general, and in which I might perhaps fancy myself wiser than other men—that whereas I know but little of the world below, I do not suppose that I know: but I do know that injustice and disobedience to a better, whether God or man, is evil and dishonorable, and I will never fear or avoid a possible good rather than a certain evil. And therefore if you let me go now, and reject the counsels of Anytus, who said that if I were not put to death I ought not to have been prosecuted, and that if I escape now, your sons will all be utterly ruined by listening to my words if you say to me, Socrates, this time we will not mind Anytus, and will let you off, but upon one condition, that you are not to inquire and speculate in this way any more, and that if you are caught doing this again you shall die—if this was the condition on which you let me go, I should reply: Men of Athens, I honor and love you; but I shall obey God rather than you, and while I have life and strength I shall never cease from the practice and teaching of philosophy, exhorting anyone whom I meet after my manner, and convincing him, saying: O my friend, why do you who are a citizen of the great and mighty and wise city of Athens, care so much about laying up the greatest amount of money and honor and reputation, and so little about wisdom and truth and the greatest improvement of the soul, which you never regard or heed at all? Are you not ashamed of this? And if the person with whom

 and Napoleon is accidental. Unlike the strict mathematician, who finds inner relationships between two groups of differential equations where the layman sees nothing but dissimilarities of outward form, Ranke and others draw their historical analogies with a Plutarchian, popular-romantic, touch, and aim merely at presenting comparable scenes on the world-stage.

It is easy to see that, at bottom, it ts neither a principle nor a sense of historic necessity, but simple iaclination, that governs the choice of the tableaux. From any techneque of analogies we are far distant. They throng up (to-day more than ever) without scheme or unities, and if they do hit upon something which is true — in the essential sense of the word that remains to be determined — it is thanks to luck, more rately to instinct, never to a principle. In this region no one hitherto has set himself to work out a method, nor has had the slightest inkling that there is here a root, in fact the only root, from which can come a broad solution of the problems of History.

Analogies, in so far as they laid bare the organic structure of history, might be a blessing to historical thought. Their technique, developing under the influence of a comprehensrve idea, would surely eventuate in inevitable conclusions and logical mastery. But as hitherto understood and practised they have been a curse, for they have enabled the histortans to follow their own tastes, instead of soberly realizing thet ther first and hardest task was concerned with the symbolism of history and its analogies, and, in consequence, the problem has till now not even been comprehended, let alone solved. Superficial in many cases (as for instance in designating Cæsar as the creator of the official newspaper), these analogies are worse than superficial in others (as when phenomena of the Classical Age that are not only extremely complex but utterly alien to us are labelled with modern catchwords like Socialism, Impressionism, Capitalism, Clericalism), while occasionally they are bizarre to the pomt of perversity — witness the Jacobin clubs with their cult of Brutus, that millionaire-extortioner Brutus who, in the name of oligarchical doctrine and with the approval of the patrician senate, murdered the Man of the Democracy.

Thus our theme, which originally comprised only the limited problem of present-day civilization, broadens itself into a new philosophy — the philosophy of the future, so far as the metaphysically-exhausted soil of the West can bear such, and in any case the only philosophy which is within the possibilities of the West-European mind in its next stages. It expands into the conception of a morphology of world history, of the world-as-history in contrast to the morphology of the world-as-nature that hitherto has been almost the only theme of philosophy. And it reviews once again the forms and movements of the world in their depths and final significance, but this time according to an entirely different ordering which groups chem, not in an ensemble picture

She would not be persuaded to be content with aught

But that the child of Etzel should to the font be brought,

With Christian rites according. Ortlieb they named the boy:

Which all through Etzel’s country was cause of mickle joy.

Whatever noble virtues in Lady Helka lay,

To match them dame Kriemhilda aye studied, day by day.

The customs soon were taught her, by Herrat, maid forlorn,

Who with a secret longing for Helka still did mourn.

To native folk and strangers she now was widely known:

Twas said of her, that never did any king’s land own

A better, milder mistress; right sure of this they were.

Such fame she bore in Hunsland until the thirteenth year.

Now since she knew for certain that none would her gainsay

E’en as kings’ warriors mostly their princes’ wives obey,—

And as twelve kings before her were ever seen to come,

She thought on all the sorrows that she had known at home.

She thought, too, of the honours that once in Niblungland

Had been in her possession; and which by Hagen’s hand,

At time of Siegfried’s murder, were wholly done away:

And whether he might ever for that be made to pay.

“It might be, could I bring him by some means to this land.”

She dreamt that she was walking, and near her, close at hand,

Was Giselher, her brother, and in her gentle sleep

She kissed him very often. He soon had cause to weep!

I ween some evil devil Kriemhilda did provoke

That with her brother Gunther her friendship now she broke,

Whom she, in full forgiveness, kiss’d on Burgundian soil.

Then with hot tears began she once more her robe to spoil.

And ever, late and early, within her heart it wrought

How, without fault on her part, she had thereto been brought,

That henceforth with a heathen she must in wedlock live;

This bitterness did Hagen and Gunther, too, contrive.

The wish that dwelt within her ne’er let her heart alone;

Thought she: “I am so mighty, and such great riches own,

That on my foes in vengeance some ill I may repay.

Thus would I do right gladly to Hagen of Tronjé.

‘My heart is longing sorely for my dear faithful one:

Might I but get them near me who ill to me have done,

So would I take full vengeance for my beloved’s life;—

Scarce can I bide their coming;” so murmur’d Etzel’s wife.

The whole of the king’s liegemen held highly in esteem

The warriors of Kriemhilda: and well it was, I deem.

Her treasurer was Eckwart,— good friends thereby he made.

Nor could Kriemhilda’s wishes by any be gainsaid.

Now was she ever thinking: “I will beseech the king!”

To wit, that of his goodness he would allow this thing,

That unto the Hun-country her kinsmen might be brought.

But no one there discover’d the queen’s unholy thought.

Havelaar, who knew only too well what such discussion meant—had not his predecessor so often “conferred” with the Resident of Bantam?—wrote the following letter, which he sent to meet the Resident in order that the latter should have read it before his arrival at the head-centre of Lebak.

“But I saw on the other hand the population,, I thought of the urgent necessity of an example—for I shall have to report to you , at least if the reaction of  affair does not put a stop to them—and, I repeat,  I did what I took to be my duty.

“To-morrow, therefore, I shall have the honour of seeing you, and it is exactly for this reason that I take the liberty to send this letter in time to reach you on the road, so that before our meeting I may place in your hands the following statement:

“All that I have inquired into concerning the actions of the Regent has been done in profound secrecy. Only and the Patteh knew of it, for I had loyally warned him. Even the Controller so far knows the result of my investigations only partly. This secrecy had a twofold object. First, when I still hoped to be able to turn the Regent from his path, I wished, successful, not to compromise him. The Patteh, on his behalf, on the 12th instant, thanked me expressly for my discretion. But afterwards, when I began to despair of the success of my efforts, or rather, when the measure of my indignation ran over, when further silence would have become , then this secrecy had to be observed on account, for to myself also, and those belonging to me, I have duties to fulfil.

“Should I not, after my letter of yesterday, if its contents were idle, baseless, or a figment of the imagination, be unworthy to serve the Government? And should, or shall, I be able to prove

 that I have done ‘what a good Assistant-Resident should do,’ prove that I am equal to the position given to me, prove that I do not thoughtlessly and rashly stake seventeen difficult years of service, and, what is more, the interest of wife and child shall I be able to  all this, if not a profound secrecy conceals my investigations, and prevents the guilty one from  himself, as it is called?

“On the slightest suspicion the Regent will send an urgent message to his nephew, who is on the way to him, and who is interested in backing him up. He will ask for money at any price, distribute it with a liberal hand to all those whom of late he has done out of their belongings, and the result may be—I trust it should not be necessary to say be—the opinion that  have passed a rash judgment, and, briefly, that I am an unpractical officer, not to say worse.

“It is in order to secure myself against this eventuality that I am writing this letter. I have the highest respect for you, but I know the spirit which may be called ‘the spirit of East-Indian officials,’ and I am possessed of that spirit!

“Your hint that it would have been better had the case first been treated, makes me fear a conference. What I said in yesterday’s letter is. But it might untrue if the case were treated in a manner that might tend to revealment of my charge and my suspicion

“I may not conceal from you that even your unexpected arrival, in connection with the urgent message I sent to Serang yesterday, makes me fear that the guilty one, who has hitherto refused to yield to my admonitions, will wake up  the right time, and will try, if possible, tant soit peu to exculpate himself.

“I have the honour, for the present, still to conform literally to my letter of yesterday; but I take the liberty at the same time to remark that that letter contained the proposal:

It came to pass one night-time, as by the king she lay,

(His arms were cast about her, as was his wont alway,

Loving the noble lady: for she was as his life)

That of her foes was thinking the fair and noble wife.

And to the king thus spake she: “My ever dear good lord,

I fain would ask a favour, if thou wouldst such accord:

If I am worthy of it, that thou shouldst let me see

Whether my friends and kinsmen thou lovest verily.”

Then spake the mighty sovran, and guileless was his mood:

“I would have thee believe that, if any grace or good

Be done unto those warriors, I must thereat be glad,

Since I by love of woman ne’er better friends have made.”

And yet again the queen spake: “To thee it hath been said,

That I have high-born kinsmen; and this my grief hath made

That they have never troubled to come to see me here.

I hear the people call me naught else but foreigner.”

Whereunto answer’d Etzel: “Belovéd lady mine,

If not too far it seemeth, so will I from the Rhine

Bid all unto my kingdom whom thou art fain to see.”

When thus she learnt his purpose right glad at heart was she.

She said: “If thou right truly wouldst serve me, master mine,

So wilt thou send an envoy to Worms beyond the Rhine.

That I may tell my kinsfolk all that I have in mind.

Then many a knight right noble his way to us shall find.”

“Whenever thou commandest,” said he, “it shall be done.

Thou canst not be so eager thy friends to look upon

As I of noble Uté the sons to see am fain;

That we are still such strangers hath caused me mickle pain.

“And if it should content thee, belovéd lady mine,

So will I send right gladly, unto those friends of thine,

My players on the fiddle to the Burgundian land.”

To bring the worthy fiddlers straightway he gave command.

They hasten’d very quickly to where King Etzel sat.

And eke the queen beside him. He told them both, how that

As envoys they were chosen to Burgundy to fare.

For them he bade his people rich raiment to prepare.

For four-and-twenty warriors was new apparel made;

And by the king their errand was also to them said:

How Gunther and his people to bring there they should seek.

But fain was Lady Kriemhild apart with them to speak.

Then said the king most mighty: “Now hark ye what to do!

All that is good and kindly I bid my friends, by you;

If they vouchsafe to journey unto my kingdom here.

Ne’er yet have I had knowledge of guests as these so dear.

“And if they so be minded my will herein to do,

These kinsmen of Kriemhilda, then must they not forego

To come to us this summer, to keep my wedding-feast;

For much on my wife’s kindred my happiness doth rest.”

Then spake the fiddle-player, the haughty Schwemmelin:

“When will in this your kingdom your wedding-feast begin?

That we to your friends yonder unerringly may say.”

Then answer made King Etzel: “On next Midsummer-day.”

“We’ll do as thou dost bid us,” made answer Werbelin.

Then gave the queen an order that they be brought within

Her private room in secret, to speak with her alone.

Whereof soon many a warrior but sorry comfort won.

To both the envoys spake she: “Well shall it be for you

If you my will and purpose right faithfully shall do,

And say whate’er I bid you when to my home you go;

In goods I’ll make you wealthy, and raiment rich bestow.

“What friends of mine soever ye see and meet with there

At Worms on the Rhine river, take heed lest ye declare

That ye have ever seen me in melancholy mood:

And bear my greeting unto those heroes bold and good.

“To what the king requireth beg them that they agree,

And thereby let them make me from all my trouble free.

The Huns may well believe that I have no friends at all.

Were I a knight, “I’d ever be ready at their call.

“And to my noble brother, to Gernot eke say ye

That in the world is no one I hold more lovingly:

Our best of friends and kinsmen bid him unto this land

To bring, that so the better we may in honour stand.

Dipsadoboa assimilis, Matschie, SB. Ges. naturf. Fr. Berl. 1893, p. 173 (Togoland) ; Bocage, Jorn. Sc. Lisb. iv. 1895, p. 17.

The specimen obtained at Lambarene agrees better with D. assimilis than with D. unicolor with regard to the number and disposition of the labial shields.

Professor Bocage refers his specimens from Fernando Po also to D. assimils, whilst, singularly enough, I have now some evidence that the type of D. unicolor came from the same island, as I received some years ago a specimen from Fernando Po which is identical with D. unicolor. Therefore, as far as our present experience goes, both D. unicolor and assimilis (if they are really distinct) would seem to occur in Fernando Po, while the former does not extend on to the mainland.

Atheris anisolepis, Mocquard, Bull. Soc. Philom. 1887, p. 90.

Atheris læviceps, Boettger, Zool. Anz, x. p. 651; Ber, Senckenlb, Ges 1888, p. 92, tab. ii. fig. 7 (head).

An adult specimen from Lambarene. The specimens from which Boettger took his description came from Banana (Congo delta). The principal distinctive characters of this species are, in my opinion, the number and size of scales and the two series of suboculars, rather than the degree of carination of some of the scales on the crown of the head, which depends on age.

Thanks to the kindness of Professor L. Vaillant and Dr. Jentink I have been able, by a re-examination of the typical specimens described by Schlegel and Mocquard, to form a definite opinion as to the species of Atheris which deserve recognition. They are the following:— indent=2|hanging-indent=2em|

1. A. sguamigera, Hallowell,=A. subocularis, Fisch., probably=A. Burtonii, Gthr. With 17 (in A. Burtonii with 19) series of scales; only one row of minute subocular scales (exceptionally partly confluent with upper labials).

2. A. anisolepis, Mocquard (1887),=A. læviceps, Boettger (1887),=A. chloroechis, Boettg., part. With 22-25 series of scales; two rows of minute suboculars, the lower row sometimes incomplete, but always indicated by several scales.

“To Giselher say also that he must not forget

That never have I suffer’d by fault of his as yet:

Wherefore would I right gladly set eyes on him again;

And, for the faith he show’d me, to see him here am fain.

“And also tell my mother what honours now I bear.

If Hagen, too, of Tronjé shall still be dwelling there

By whom shall they more fitly be through the country shown?

To him the roads to Hunsland from childhood have been known.”

Unknowing were the envoys what meaning therein lay,

That Hagen, knight of Tronjé, on no account should stay

Behind the rest in Rhineland. Soon woe for them it made:

With him was many a warrior to cruel death betray’d.

With message and with letters they were provided now:

To live henceforth in plenty of wealth they had enow.

Their leave they took of Etzel and of his lady fair.

And clad in rich apparel a goodly sight they were.

When Etzel to the Rhineland had sent his embassy,

The news thereof right swiftly from land to land did fly:

He greeting gave and bade them, by messengers right fleet,

To come unto his feasting: whence many death did meet.

that Etzel had sent his envoys to the Rhine, these tidings flew from land to land. Through full speedy messengers he begged and bade to his high feasting. From this many a one met there his death. The envoys rode away from the Hunnish land to Burgundy. They were sent thither for three noble kings and for their men, that these should come to Etzel; therefore all gan haste. To Bechelaren they came a-riding, where men served them gladly. Rüdeger and Gotelind and the child of them twain delayed not to send their service through the envoys to the Rhine. Nor did they let them part hence without gifts, that Etzel’s men might fare the better. To Uta and her sons Rüdeger sent word that they had no more loyal margrave than he. To Brunhild, also, they tendered service and good wishes, constant fealty and a loving mind. When they heard the speech that the envoys would ride, the margravine begged God in heaven to keep them well.

Before the messengers were quite come through Bavarian land, the doughty Werbel sought out the good Bishop Pilgrim. What word he sent to his kin upon the Rhine, that I know not, but naught but ruddy gold he gave the messengers for love and let them ride.

Then spake the bishop: “And might I see them here, my sister’s sons, I should be blithe of mood, for full seldom can I come to them upon the Rhine.”

Rh What roads they traveled to the Rhine, I cannot tell. None robbed them of their silver and their weeds; men feared their master’s wrath. Certes the noble high-born king was a mighty lord.

Within a twelfth night Werbel and Swemmel came to the Rhine, to the land of Worms. To the kings and their liegemen tidings were told that there came strange messengers. Gunther, the lord of the Rhineland, gan ask: “Who will do us to wit, from whence these strangers ride into our land?”

This none wist, till Hagen of Troneg saw them, who then spake to Gunther: “New tidings be come to us, as I will vouch, for I have seen King Etzel’s minstrels here. Them your sister hath sent to the Rhine; for their master’s sake we must give them a kindly welcome.”

Already they were riding up before the palace; never did a prince’s minstrels journey in more lordly wise. Straightway the king’s meiny bade them welcome. Men gave them lodgings and bade take in charge their trappings. Their traveling clothes were rich and so well fashioned that with honor they might come before the king, but they would not wear them longer there at court, and asked if there were any that desired them. At the selfsame moment folk were found who fain would take them, and to these they were sent. Then the strangers donned far better weeds, such as well befitted king’s messengers for to wear.

Then Etzel’s retainers went by leave to where the king was sitting; men saw this gladly. Hagen sprang courteously towards the messengers and greeted them in loving wise. For this the squires did say him

Rh all his life and be not only of no advantage to his fellow poor men, but by his competition in the labor market a harm to them; for in the abundance of labor lies the cause of low wages, as even a socialist knows. As a consumer the man counts for little, for he consumes only the bare necessaries of life. But, if he pass from poverty to wealth he not only ceases to be a competing laborer; he becomes a consumer of everything that he used to want — all the luxuries by production of which nine-tenths of the labor class live he now buys. He has added his voice to the chorus of demand. All the industries of the world are so interrelated and interdependent that none is unaffected in some infinitesimal degree by the new stimulation. The good that he has done by passing from one class into another is not so obvious as it would be if his wants were all supplied by one versatile producer, purveying to him alone, but the sum of it is the same. Yet the socialist finds a pleasure in directing attention to the brass hoofs of the millionaire executing his joyous jig upon an empty stomach — that of the prostrate pauper, — poets, muckrakers, demagogues and other audibles fitly celebrating the performance with howls of sensibility.

194 thanks. That he might know their tidings, he gan ask how Etzel fared and all his men. Then spake the minstrel: “Never did the land stand better, nor were the folk more merry; now know that of a truth.”

To the host they went; the hall was full. There men received the guests, as one must do by right, when kindly greetings be sent to the lands of other kings. Werbel found full many warriors there at Gunther’s side. In courteous wise the king gan greet them: “Ye minstrels of the Huns and all your fellowship, be ye welcome. Hath the mighty Etzel sent you hither to the Burgundian land?”

To the king they bowed; then spake Werbel: “My dear lord, and also Kriemhild, your sister, do send you loyal service to this land. They have sent us to you knights in all good faith.”

Spake the mighty prince: “Merry am I at this tale. How fareth Etzel,” so asked the knight, “and Kriemhild, my sister, of the Hunnish land?”

Quoth the minstrel: “This tale I’ll tell you; ye should know that never have folk fared better than the twain and all their followers, their kinsmen and their vassals. They joyed them of the journey, as we departed hence.”

“Gramercy for his greetings which he hath sent me, and for those of my sister, sith it standeth so that the king and his men live thus in happiness, for I did ask the news in fear and trembling.”

The two young princes were now also come, for they had but just heard the tale. For the sake of his sister Giselher, the youth, was fain to see the envoys. He spake to them in loving wise: “Ye messengers,

Rh be very welcome to us. An’ ye would ride more often hither to the Rhine, ye would find friends here whom ye would be glad to see. Little of harm shall hap you in this land.”

“We trust you in all honor,“ spake then Swemmel. “I could not convey to you with all my wits, how lovingly king Etzel and your noble sister, who live in such great worship, have sent their greetings. The queen doth mind you of your love and fealty, and that your heart and mind did ever hold her dear. But first and foremost we be sent to the king, that ye may deign to ride to Etzel’s land. The mighty Etzel enjoined us strictly to beg you this and sent the message to you all, that if ye would not let your sister see you, he fain would know what he had done you that ye be so strange to him and to his lands. An’ ye had never known the queen, yet would he fain bring it to pass that consent to come and see him. It would please him well if that might hap.”

Then spake King Gunther: “In a sennight I will tell you the tale of what I have bethought me with my friends. Meanwhile hie you to your lodgings and rest you well.”

Quoth Werbel again: “And could that be that we might see my lady, the royal Uta, afore we take our easement?”

The noble Giselher spake then full courteously: “None shall hinder that. An’ ye would go before her, ye will do in full my mother’s wish, for she will gladly see you for my sister’s sake, the Lady Kriemhild; she will make you welcome.”

Giselher led them to where they found the queen.

 new progressive methods, for the substitution of persistent, planned and calculated social development for the former conditions of systematic neglect and corruption in public affairs varied by epileptic seizures of "Reform."

A third influence that may also contribute very materially to the reconstruction of the American tradition is the Socialist movement. It is true that so far American Socialism has very largely taken an Anarchistic form, has been, in fact, little more than a revolutionary movement of the wages-earning class against the property owner. It has already been pointed out that it derives not from contemporary English Socialism but from the Marxist social democracy of the continent of Europe, and has not even so much of the constructive spirit as has been developed by the English Socialists of the Fabian and Labour Party group or by the newer German evolutionary Socialists. Nevertheless, whenever Socialism is intelligently met by discussion or whenever it draws near to practicable realisation, it becomes, by virtue of its inherent implications, a constructive force, and there is no reason to suppose that it will not be intelligently met on the whole and in the long run in America. The alternative to a developing Socialism among the labouring masses in America is that revolutionary Anarchism from which it is slowly but definitely marking itself off. In America we have to remember that we are dealing with a huge population of people who

Rh Gladly she gazed upon the envoys from the Hunnish land. Through her courtesie she gave them gentle greeting. The good and courtly messengers then told their tale. “My lady offereth you of a truth,” so spake Swemmel, “her love and duty. Might that be that she could see you oft, ye may well believe she had no better joy in all the world.”

Then spake the queen: “That may not be. However gladly I would often see the dear daughter of mine, yet doth the wife of the noble king live, alas, too far from me. May she and Etzel be ever blessed. Pray let me know before ye leave, when ye would hence again; not in a long time have I seen messengers so gladly as I have you.” The squires vowed that this should hap.

Those from the Hunnish land now rode to their lodgings. Meanwhile the mighty king had sent to fetch his friends. The noble Gunther asked his liegemen how they liked the speech. Many a one gan say that the king well might ride to Etzel’s land. The very best among them advised him this, save Hagen alone; him misliked it sore. Privily he spake to the king: “Ye fight against yourself; ye know full well what we have done. We may well be ever on our guard with Kriemhild, for with mine own hand I slew her husband to death. How durst we ride to Etzel’s land?”

Then spake the mighty king: “My sister gave over her wrath; with a kiss she lovingly forgave what we had done her, or ever she rode away. Unless be that the feud doth stand against you alone.”

Quoth Hagen: “Now let the messengers from the

 are for the most part, and more and more evidently destined under the present system of free industrial competition, to be either very small traders, small farmers on the verge of debt, or wages-earners for all their lives. They are going to lead limited lives and worried lives—and they know it. Nearly everyone can read and discuss now, the process of concentrating property and the steady fixation of conditions that were once fluid and adventurous goes on in the daylight visibly to everyone. And it has to be borne in mind also that these people are so far under the sway of the American tradition that each thinks himself as good as any man and as much entitled to the fulness of life. Whatever social tradition their fathers had, whatever ideas of a place to be filled humbly and seriously and duties to be done, have been left behind in Europe. No church dominates the scenery of this new land, and offers in authoritative and convincing tones consolations hereafter for lives obscurely but faithfully lived. Whatever else happens in this national future, upon one point the patriotic American may feel assured, and that is of an immense general discontent in the working class and of a powerful movement in search of a general betterment. The practical forms and effects of that movement will depend almost entirely upon the average standard of life among the workers and their general education. Sweated and ill-organised foreigners, such as one finds in New Jersey living under conditions of great misery, will be fierce, impatient and altogether dangerous. They will be acutely exasperated by every picture of plutocratic luxury in their newspaper, they will read-

 ily resort to destructive violence. The western miner, the western agriculturist, worried beyond endurance between the money-lender and railway combinations, will be almost equally prone to savage methods of expression. The Appeal to Reason, for example, to which I have made earlier reference in this chapter, is furious to wreck the present capitalistic system, but it is far too angry and impatient for that satisfaction to produce any clear suggestion of what shall replace it.

To call this discontent of the seething underside of the American system Socialism is a misnomer. Were there no Socialism there would be just as much of this discontent, just the same insurgent force and desire for violence, taking some other title and far more destructive methods. This discontent is a part of the same planless confusion that gives on the other side the wanton irresponsible extravagances of the smart people of New York. But Socialism alone, of all the forms of expression adopted by the losers in the economic struggle, contains constructive possibilities and leads its adherents towards that ideal of an organised State, planned and developed, from which these terrible social stresses may be eliminated, which is also the ideal to which sociology and the thoughts of every constructive-minded and foreseeing man in any position of life tend to-day. In the Socialist hypothesis of collective ownership and administration as the social basis, there is the germ of a "sense of the State" that may ultimately develop into comprehensive conceptions of social order, conceptions upon which enlightened millionaires and unenlightened workers

 am going away to-morrow I will do more. What am I? A lost woman, a millstone about your neck. I don't want to torment you. I will set you free. You do not love me; you love another."

Vronsky begged her to be calm. He swore there was not the slightest ground for her jealousy, and that he had never ceased and never should cease to love her; that he loved her more than ever.

"Anna, why torture yourself and me so?" he asked, as he kissed her hand. His face expressed the deepest tenderness; and it seemed to her that her ears caught the sound of tears in his voice, and that she felt their moisture on her hand.

Passing suddenly from jealousy to the most passionate tenderness, she covered his head, his neck, his hands, with kisses.

that their reconciliation was complete, Anna the next morning eagerly made her preparations for departure. Although it was not yet definitely decided whether they should start on Monday or Tuesday, since both days had certain contingencies, Anna was busily making her preparations for the journey, feeling now perfectly indifferent whether they went a little sooner or a little later. She was engaged in her room taking various articles from an open trunk, when Vronsky, already dressed, came to her earlier than usual.

"I am going now to maman. Perhaps she can get me the money through Yegerof, and then I shall be ready to go to-morrow," he said.

She was feeling particularly cheerful, but his reference to his visit to his mother's datcha was like a stitch in the side.

"No; I shall not be ready myself;" and immediately she thought, "So then it was possible to arrange it so as to do as I wished."—"No; do just as you intended to. And now go to the dining-room, and I will join you as

 The reasons for promulgation of this Act are as follows: Whereas it is appropriate to enable the University to use its income in its own affairs without having to send it as national income and to enable the University to hold ownership over the immovable property obtained through dedications made by anyone or through purchase or exchange using its income, without requiring the property to be regarded as crown land, for the sake of the flexibility of the University in managing its own affairs and seeking benefit from the immovable property it administers, takes care of, or utilises, it is therefore necessary to enact this Act.

 may meet at last in generous and patriotic co-operation.

The chances of the American future, then, seem to range between two possibilities just as a more or less constructive Socialism does or does not get hold of and inspire the working mass of the population. In the worst event—given an emotional and empty hostility to property as such, masquerading as Socialism—one has the prospect of a bitter and aimless class war between the expropriated many and the property-holding few, a war not of general insurrection but of localised outbreaks, strikes and brutal suppressions, a war rising to bloody conflicts and sinking to coarsely corrupt political contests, in which one side may prevail in one locality and one in another, and which may even develop into a chronic civil war in the less-settled parts of the country or an irresistible movement for secession between west and east. That is assuming the greatest imaginable vehemence and short-sighted selfishness and the least imaginable intelligence on the part of both workers and the plutocrat-swayed government. But if the more powerful and educated sections of the American community realise in time the immense moral possibilities of the Socialist movement, if they will trouble to understand its good side instead of emphasising its bad, if they will keep in touch with it and help in the development of a constructive content to its propositions, then it seems to me that popular Socialism may count as a third great factor in the making of the civilised American State.

In any case, it does not seem to me probable that

 soon as I have taken out these unnecessary things," she added, giving something more to Annushka, whose arms were already laden with a heap of articles.

Vronsky was eating his beefsteak when she entered the dining-room.

"You can't realize how odious these apartments have become to me," she said, as she sat down by him. "Nothing is more detestable than these chambres garnies. There is no individuality in them, no soul. The clock, the curtains, and especially the wall-papers—they are a cauchemar. I think of Vozdvizhenskoye as of the promised land. Shall you not send on the horses in advance?"

"No, they will follow us. But were you going anywhere?"

"I wanted to go to the Wilsons'; I must get a gown. So it is decided that we go to-morrow, is it?" she added, in a joyous tone. But suddenly her face changed. Vronsky's valet came in, and asked him to sign a receipt for a despatch from Petersburg. Still there was nothing remarkable in Vronsky's receiving a telegram, but he acted as if he wanted to conceal something from her; and, saying that he would sign it in his library, he turned to her:—

"To-morrow without fail I shall have finished everything."

"From whom is the despatch?" she asked, not hearing him.

"From Stiva," answered the count, reluctantly.

"Why did n't you show it to me? What secret can there be between Stiva and me?"

Vronsky called the valet back, and ordered him to bring in the telegram.

"I did not care to show it because Stiva has a passion for telegraphing. Why need he send me a despatch to tell me that nothing was decided?"

"About the divorce?"

"Yes. He maintains that he cannot get a definite answer. Here, see for yourself."

Anna took the despatch with a trembling hand. It read as Vronsky had told her. At the end it said:—

Rh Huns beguile you not, whatsoever they say. Would ye visit Kriemhild, easily may ye lose there both life and honor. Full long of vengeance is King Etzel’s wife.”

Then spake Prince Gernot to the council: “Why should we give it over, because ye rightly fear death in the Hunnish lands? It were an ill deed not to go to see our sister.”

Then spake Prince Giselher to the knight: “Sith ye know you to be guilty, friend Hagen, ye should stay at home and guard you well, and let those who dare ride with us to my sister.”

At this the knight of Troneg grew wroth of mood. “I will not that ye take any with you on the way, who durst better ride to court than I. Sith ye will not turn you, I will well show you that.”

Then spake the master of the kitchen, Rumolt, the knight: “Ye can well have the strangers and the home-folk cared for here, after your own desire, for ye have full store of goods. I ween, Hagen hath never given you for a hostage; but if ye will not follow him, Rumolt adviseth you, for I be bound to you in fealty and duty, that for my sake ye abide here and leave King Etzel there with Kriemhild. How might it fare more gently with you in all the world? Ye be well able to stand before your foes; so deck your body out with brave attire, drink the best of wine, and pay court to stately ladies. Thereto ye be served with the best of food that ever king did gain in the world. And were this not so, yet should ye tarry here for your fair wife’s sake, before ye risk your life so childishly. Wherefore I do counsel you to stay at home. Your lands be rich, and one can redeem his pledges better

 "Little hope; but I shall do everything possible and impossible."

"I told you yesterday that it was absolutely immaterial to me when I received the divorce, or whether I get it at all," said she, flushing, "so it is perfectly useless to hide anything from me. In the same way, he can hide from me his correspondence with women," thought she.

"Yashvin wanted to come this morning with Voïtof," said Vronsky. "It seems that he has been gambling again, and has won from Pyebtsof all he has and more than he can pay.... about sixty thousand rubles."

"No," said she, vexed because by this change in the conversation he so evidently insinuated that she was vexed. "Why do you think that this news interests me so much that you must hide it from me? I told you that I did not want to think about it, and I should wish that you had as little interest in it as I."

"It interests me because I like clearness."

"Clearness! But in love, not in mere outside show," she said, getting more and more angry, not at his words, but at the tone of cool calmness in which he spoke. "Why do you want a divorce?"

"Bozhe moï! Always 'love,'" thought Vronsky, frowning. "You know very well why; it is for your sake and for the children we may have."

"There will not be any more children."

"I am sorry for that."

"You feel the need of it, because of the children; but don't you have some thought of me?" said she, forgetting that he had just said "for your sake and the children's."

The question of the possibility of having children had been long vexatious and trying to her. She took his desire to have children as a proof of indifference toward her beauty.

"Akh! I said for your sake .... more than all for your sake; for I am convinced that your irritability comes largely from the uncertainty of your position," he answered, scowling with annoyance.

"Yes, now he has ceased to pretend, and all his cold

198 at home than among the Huns. Who knoweth how it standeth there? Ye should stay at home, Sire, that is Rumolt’s counsel.”

“We will not stay,” quoth Gernot. “Sith my sister and the mighty Etzel have bidden us in such friendly wise, why should we not accept? He that liketh not to go may stay at home.”

To this Hagen answered: “Take not my speech amiss, however ye may fare. In all truth I counsel you, would ye guard your lives, then ride to the Huns well armed. Sith ye will not turn you, send for your men-at-arms, the best ye have or can find in any part; from among them all I’ll choose a thousand doughty knights. Then Kriemhild’s evil mood can bring you naught of harm.”

“This rede I’ll gladly follow,” spake straightway the king. He then bade messengers ride far and wide throughout his lands. Three thousand champions or more they fetched. Little they weened to gain such grievous woe. Full merrily they rode to Gunther’s court. Men bade give all that were to ride forth from Burgundy both steeds and trappings. The king gained full many a one with willing mood. Then Hagen of Troneg bade his brother Dankwart lead eighty of their warriors to the Rhine. In knightly guise they came; these doughty men took with them harness and trappings into Gunther’s land. Then came bold Folker, a noble minstrel he, with thirty of his men for the journey to Kriemhild’s court. They had clothing such as a king might wear. Gunther bade make known, he would to the Hunnish land. I’ll do you now to wit who Folker was. He was a noble lord, the liege of

Rh many doughty knights in Burgundy. A minstrel he was called, for that he wist how to fiddle. Hagen chose a thousand whom he well knew; oft had he seen what their hands had wrought in press of battle, or in whatever else they did. None might aver aught else of them than doughtiness.

The tarrying irked Kriemhild’s envoys sore, for great was their fear of their lord. Daily they craved leave to go; this Hagen would not grant through craftiness. To his master he spake: “We should well guard against letting them ride away, until we ourselves fare forth a sennight later to Etzel’s land. If any beareth us ill will, the better shall we wot it. Nor may Lady Kriemhild then make ready that through any plan of hers, men do us harm. An’ this be her will, she’ll fare full ill, for many a chosen liegeman had we hence.”

Shields and saddles, and all the garments that they would take with them to Etzel’s land, were now full ready for many a brave man-at-arms. Now men bade Kriemhild’s messengers go before King Gunther. When they were come, Gernot spake: “The king will do as Etzel asked us, we will gladly come to his high feast to see our sister; be no more in doubt of that.”

Then King Gunther spake: “Wist ye how to tell us, when this feast shall be, or in what time we should go thither?”

Swemmel replied: “Of a truth it shall be on next midsummer’s day.”

The king gave them leave (this had not happed as yet), if they would fain see Lady Brunhild, to go before her with his free will. This Folker hindered,

3. A. chloroechis, Schleg.,=A. polylepis, Ptrs. With 31-36 series of scales and with a double row of suboculars.

4. A. ceratophora, Werner.

One young specimen from Glass, Gaboon estuary.

This specimen, as well as an adult in the British Museum, has no vomerine teeth, whilst two short groups are present in the second of the British Museum specimens, which is intermediate in size between the two former.

Gobius tajasica, Steind. Not. Leyd, Mus. xvi. p. 25 (not synom.).

A Goby which seems to be very common in the freshwaters of Liberia and the Cameroon River, and is abundant in the Ogowé River, where numerous examples were obtained by Miss Kingsley at Kondo-Kondo, is identical with the species discovered by Peters in the Zambeze, but not, as Dr. Steindachner thinks, with the West-Indian G. banana, which has considerably smaller scales on the tail. G. æneofuscus, therefore, belongs to the freshwater fauna of Tropical Africa extending right across the continent.

Gobius lateristriga, A. Dum. Arch. Mus. x. p. 247, pl. xxi. fig 1, if not identical with this species, is, at any rate, closely allied to it; unfortunately the author has omitted to describe the scales, dentition, and other important characters.

Common on the West Coast, and attracting the notice of every traveller by its semiterrestrial habits and by the astonishing rapidity with which it leaps, frog-like, over the mud-flats of the littoral.

Island of Corisco (Steindachner, SB. Wien. Akad. 1869, lx. P. 945).

200 which pleased her much. “Forsooth, my Lady Brunhild is not so well of mood, that ye may see her,” spake the good knight. “Bide the morrow, and men will let you see her.” When they weened to gaze upon her, it might not hap.

Then the mighty prince, who liked the envoys well, through his own courtesie, bade his gold be carried forth on the broad shields of which he had great store. Rich gifts were also given them by his kinsmen Giselher and Gernot, Gere and Ortwin. Well they showed, that they were generous, too. They offered the messengers such rich gifts, that for fear of their lord they durst not take them.

Now spake the envoy Werbel to the king: “Sir King, let your gifts stay here at home. We may carry none away; our lord forbade that we take aught of gifts. Then too, there is but little need.”

Then the ruler of the Rhine waxed wroth, that they should thus refuse the gifts of so mighty a king. At last they were forced to take his gold and weeds, the which they later bare to Etzel’s land. They would fain see the Lady Uta, or ever they departed hence, so the doughty Giselher brought the minstrels before his mother Uta. The lady sent the message, that whatever honors her daughter had, this gave her joy. Then the queen bade give the minstrels of her edgings and her gold, for the sake of King Etzel and Kriemhild whom she loved. Gladly they took the gifts; in good faith ’t was done.

The messengers had now taken their leave from thence, from wives and men. Merrily they rode away to Swabia. Thither Gernot bade his knights escort
