to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject

PREFACE.

This book is intended for students who have had
some training in elementary German grammar and trans-
lation. The material is taken from noted German
humoristis, such as Fritz Renter, Rudolf Baumbach,
Christoph Martin Wieland, Ernst Eckstein and others.

In the first part, the subject matter is printed in
parallel coluipns, the German story on one page, an
English paraphrase of it on the opposite page and, in
footnotes, a number of German questions recapitulating
the contents of the story. This arrangement makes
possible a close combination of reading, composition
and conversation.

The second part contains humorous stories in EngUsh
to be translated into German without the help of a
German version; also material for a thorough drill in
letter-writing, subjects for original composition work, a
comprehensive exposition of word-order and a vocab-
ulary.

Directions for the use of this book are given on pages
165 and 166.

AN ENGLISH-SPEAKING GERMAN 3

An English-speaking German.^

A young German, who ^ knows i little English, is trav-
elling ^ in England. He has a dangerous habit: he
often ^ translates German words by similar sounding
English [ones].^ So, for instance, he translates^ „ba§
gelb" by "the felt," „ber Safe" by " the case," „ba^ (Si"
by "the eye," „befommen" by "become," etc.

One day when ^ he arrives at a little place 2 in the
mountains, a strange lady asks him"^: "Sir,® do.^ you
happen 3 to know where ^^ I can procure a gentle saddle-
horse ? "

The polite young man gladly gives [the] information,
" There are no horses here. Madam, but if you go to the
foot of the mountain, you will become a donkey."

Instead of thanking him,^^ the lady looks him over ^^
from head to foot,4 with an indescribable expression.

Angered at such (an)^^ impolite behavior,^^ he goes
into ^^ a neighboring hotel and orders his dinner. He
waits [a] long [time], but ^^ the food he wants ^'* does not

JACOB'S FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL. 9

Little Jacob's First Day at School.

^ Little Jacob had ^ grown up ^ in the country, g He
understood more about swimming * and climbing * than
about learned matters. At last he was sent^ to a
public school and was given ^ a place on the lowest
bench.*

In the first hour the children had German grammar.
The teacher had 9^ them form sentences about certain
nouns. Jacob did not imderstand a word of it all. At
last the teacher spoke ® to him too : ,,SctIob, tnad^e einmat
einen ©a^f ^^^^^ ^^^ Xi)6),** The Kttle [fellow] sprang
up joyfully and made a bold leap over the table. When
the hearty laughter from the other children followed
this skilful performance^ Jacob did not know why they
laughed.®

During ^^ the second hour [there] was a writing
lesson. The children were given ^ the copy, "Go
through the world true and honest, that is the best
travelling money." Little Jacob wrote ^^ naively, " Go
through the world true and honest, the best [thing] is
the travelling money."

1 Insert the def. article. The definite article is used when an
adjective precedes the proper name. ^ Use fciii, to be; fctn is used
with verbs denoting motion (fasten, gel^fn) or a change of condition
(toadj\en, njcrbcn, crfranfen) and with the verbs blciben, fcin. ^ auf-

* In Germany good students sit on the upper bench, poor ones
on the lower.

THE NEW METHOD, 11

In the third hour the English teacher came and asked
them questions ^ [on] the lesson previously given out.^
Since ^ the boys were poorly prepared, the zealous
man became angry. " Can no one really * tell ^ me
what® „neun" isjo in English? " he asked impatiently.
Deep silence. " Perhaps you know what ,,n e u n" is, he
said, turning 7 to Jacob. „9?cin'S replied the latter®
candidly. " Right, my child," said the delighted teacher.
*' Only one of you lazy fellows could answer my ques-
tion. Take your seat ^ on the upper bench, little

[boy]-"

The superintendent of schools, Ix from Ixenstein, was
once inspecting the school of Master Rosengriin. When^^
he had to give a test-lesson ^ before the severe superin-
tendent, the old master got very nervous. Everything ^^
he knew so well before seemed to have been whisked

will teach you a new method."

Glad to be released ^ from his painful situation, the
teacher changes ^ places j^ with the superintendent.

" Tell me,^ my child," says the superintendent to a
small boy, "what is the name of the river that^ flows
by your village. Think now.^ You do not know it?
Well, I will guide you ^g to the name. What do we do,®

THE NEW QREAT-COAT. 23

" Didn't I say it was ^ too long! " cried Mr. Bohm in
triumph. "But that miserable tailor would hear no-
thing of it.2 He said this was ^ the new style."

" Ah, well,^ don't excite yourself.^ The coat reaches ^
to your ^ heels, gg and two handsbreadths must be cut
off the bottom. But that is a small matter and ® can
easily be attended to before our walk to-morrow."

Very early gy the next morning while® husband and
daughter were still asleep,^^ Mrs. Bohm rose, went to ^^
the closet, and took out^^ the great-coat. Then she took
her thread, needle and scissors, cut off two hands-
breadths from the coat, and made a new hem around
[it]. " There,^^ father, there," she murmured joyfully
to herself ,3g " now you can walk comfortably in it ; now
it is quite in the fashion." — Then she hung it back in
the closet.

About seven o'clock gg Sophie awoke. It occurred to
her^^^ that ^* she might ^^ surprise her father. So^^ she
took the great-coat from the closet, cut off two hands-
breadths, and made a new hem.

" Now it is comfortable and in the latest style," she
said joyiuUy. " How glad father will be !"

THE NEW QREAT'COAT. 25

About nine, Father Bohm, too, arose from his downy
couch. His first thought was ^ of ^j the new great-coat.
He determined to surprise his wife and daughter.

*

" Dorothea !" he whispered, " there in ^ the closet
hangs a great-coat. Take it to the tailor and tell him
that I was^ quite right, and it is too long. TelH him
to cut off a good quarter of a yard. But say nothing
about it to my wife,^ for ^ I want to give her a pleasant
surprise."

The servant went, but came back quickly.

" Mr. Bohm," said she, " the tailor was surprised ^
that "^ he was ® to cut off still more of the coat. He said
it was ® too short already."

"Tell that 10 stiff-necked tailor that^^ this is my
affair," blustered out Mr. Bohm. " I ought ^^ [to] know
better than he how^^ long I want to have my coat.
Just 1* because ^^ he is so obstinate, he shall cut off a
quarter [of a] yard."

The maid started off again and soon returned.

" Mr. Bohm," said she, the tailor shook his ^^ head ^g
violently, but at last he cut off a piece and said, he
hoped that^"^ now it would be short enough for^^ you."

THE LIEUTENANT'S DINNER. 27

" Very good," said Mr. Bohm. " Hang the coat in
the closet."

At last comes the time for a walk. The two ladies
rejoice in anticipation of the moment when Mr. Bohm
will appear on the street with them, in the full glory of
his new great-coat.

While ^ they are donning hats and mantles, Mr. Bohm
stations himself before the parlor door.

" Dorothea," he calls out, " now bring me my new
great-coat."

The maid quickly helps him put on the coat. The
door flies open.

Mr. Bohm stands before ^ the horrified women in —
a short jacket !

THE LIEUTENANT'S DINNER, 29

The lieutenant's first glance falls on a letter that ^ lies
on his work-table. He recognizes the handwriting. The
letter is from his lady love, the young widow, Frau von
Diamant.2 Hastily he opens the letter, and glances
through it.^g It contains® a friendly invitation for din-
ner that day.*

The lieutenant is furiously angry .^ To march against
rebellious peasants instead of dining® with his charm-
ing lady, — that is indeed a pity. 47 But complaints and
bewailings do no good; in an hour he must be ready to
march.

He calls Jochen Pasel, his servant,^ and gives him a
precise account of his plight. He bids him go at once
to Frau von Diamant and explain the absence of her in-
vited guest.

"Do you® know exactly what you are® to say?" asks^^
the lieutenant of the boy.

"Surely, sir,^^" replies the good Jochen Pasel, and
goes [on] his way.^

Now the lieutenant is accustomed to have his dinner
brought^® from a hotel. As^* it is just dinner-time, he

"And then bring the food along with you."

Jochen comes to the gracious Frau von Diamant.

"What is it, 52 my boy?^" asks the lady kindly.

"Compliments from my master to the gracious lady
and my gracious ^ lieutenant cannot come to dinner to-
day. He must march in an hour to Woldegk, where ^ a
rebellion has* broken out, and therefore the lieutenant
cannot accept your invitation for dinner."

"That is a pity! 47 I am very sorry ["^g

"Weiy Jochen, why do you^ not go home."

"He said that^ I was to^^ bring the dinner with [me]

The young widow laughs softly to hereelf.g^ She
knows how to take a joke,g3 and she packs a great bas-
ket full [of] food and gives it [to] Jochen.

"No, sir, this is from A^r."

"Where did that food come from?"5g shouts the lieu-

"Why,^ from Frau von Diamant. I was to bring the

The lieutenant's wrath knows no bounds.

" Jochen Pasel, you are the greatest ass that goes about
on two legs!" he shouts in anger. "You were to bring
the food from the hotel, not from Frau von Diamant!"

After 2 the lieutenant has vented his fury, he takes
three thalers from his purse and says to Jochen, "Here
are three thalers. Go at once to the confectioner's and
buy the finest cake^ he has in the shop. Do you under-
stand me correctly, you ass?"

"At your service,* lieutenant," responds Jochen Pasel.

THE LIEUTENANT'S DINNER, 36

to her as her dinner [did] to me, I shall be more than
happy. Have you understood, stupid donkey?"

"At 3'our service, 49 lieutenant," replies the servant.

And Jochen goes and takes the cake to the
lady.i

"The lieutenant's compliments to^ Frau von Dia-
mant" —

"What are you bringing there, my good lad?"

— "and says he has long been known as [an] ass," —
"St! St!" laughs the lady, "we know that already. "

— "and you must^ graciously pardon him, and here is a
cake to give* you joy."

The lady laughs heartily.

"Tell the lieutenant we will talk about the matter
later, when he comes back." While speaking,^ she
presses a thaler into his hand as® [a] reward for his
trouble.

She thinks that*^ now Jochen will go, but^ he does not
stir from the spot. He holds out his hand and stares
into it^ as if^^ he never had seen^^ a thaler before.

The Adventures of Baron von Munchhausen.

2 Baron von Miinchhausen is said ^ to have lived in
the last century on an estate in the province of Hano-
ver. Among * the stories of ^ his past life which he
used to relate to his friends, was one about ^ a journey
on horseback through Poland.

He used to begin with a description '' of the unusually
snowy winter, and of the barren waste of snow through
which he had ® to ride for hours at a time.^

He began to wonder (at it), he said, that ^^ he did not
come to a village nor ^ [to] a single house in the course
of a whole day. But at nightfall he was so tired that
he had to dismount were he was. After ^ he had tied
his horse to a sort of stump projecting ^^ out of the snow,
and had shared with the animal a large piece of bread
which he had been so provident ^* [as] to bring with

him,^ he was thankful to stretch himself out upon the
snow, with his saddle for [a] pillow.

He called himself fortunate when he perceived that
the cold north wind had ^ suddenly changed to a softer
wind, and soon he closed ^ his eyes.

" On awaking * from ^ the deep sleep into which ^ I
had fallen, and looking ^ around," the baron con-
tinued,® " where do you suppose ^ I found myself ? "

And he would describe ^^ his astonishment as he looked
about. To find himself lying ^^ in the midst of a village
made him uncertain whether ^^ he was still dreaming or
not. But he could hear his horse whinnying,^^ and when
at last he looked upward and saw it hanging ^^ from the
top of the church tower, everything became clear to him.

He saw that since ^* the snow had entirely covered the
village, the evening before it was not strange that he
should have taken g^ the tower for a stump and tied his
horse to it, because the snow had entirely covered the
village the evening before. Then as the snow gradu-
ally melted away durmg his sleep he had sunk down to
the ground without waking.^^

The baron now hastened ^^ to free his horse from its
uncomfortable situation by shooting ^^ through the reins,
so that it could slide gently down the tower. After ^®

stop at a hotel ; and here, he had another strange ad-
venture.^

While 2 he was eatmg a refreshing breakfast, he made
the acquaintance of a man who had seated himself at ^
the same table. The latter,* a postillion, said that he
had also spent the night in the snow. " Suddenly," the
baron said, " [there] came clear and melodious tones
from ^ the postillion's horn, which ^ was hanging on a
nail by the chimney.

The horn was playing of itself! The melodies
which,*^ the day before,^ were frozen into the horn as ^
soon as the postillion had blown them in, were now be-
ing gradually thawed ^^ out by ^^ the heat.^^ ^ more
interesting table concert would be hard ^^ to find.

Another of this passionate hunter's adventures is as
follows.^* A hare was once being pursued by ^^ a grey-
hound, when ^^ the baron noticed,^^ that the former had
eight legs, four on its back. When^^ its two lower
pairs were tired, it would turn over and spring away on
its two fresh [pairs]. He hardly^® expected ^o to get it,
for he saw that it could be overtaken only by ^^ a dog
which could run remarkably fast. But his excellent
greyhound finally caught *^ it.

The baron could use this little dog at night as well
as 23 in the day-time, for with a lantern tied^* to its tail,

it served him to light his path. It finally wore off its
legs close under its body. But, as ^ it could then be
used as [a] " Dachshund," it remained in his service
until its last days.

One day the baron found so much game,2that he shot
away all his bullets. Just then a fine stag was started
by^ his dog. Taking* some cherry-stones from his^
pocket, the baron at once decided ^ to load with powder,
put in a handful [of the] cherry-stones from his pocket,
and shot at the stag.

The animal was hit in the middle of the forehead,*^
but in spite of ® some staggering ^ it succeeded gj in tak-
ing 1® to its heels and escaping.^®

Two years later, when ^ the baron went to the same
wood to hunt, he saw a strong stag coming ^ up to him.
He says that he remembered ^ his former shot. He no-
ticed that a cherry-tree, ten feet high,^* full of the finest
cherries, was growing ^^ between the horns of the animal.
Therefore he only had to send a bullet through its
head to have both,i^ venison ^^ and sauce.

Once the baron saw a hare running ^® diagonally across
the road. In pursuing ^^ it, his horse gracefully sprang
through the open windows of a carriage which had^
(just) come between him and the hare. The baron
would have taken off his hat and begged pardon of the

ladies sitting ^ in the carriage, if^ his horse had not
gone ^ so quickly that he could not do this.*

The baron says that on the afternoon of this wonder-
ful adventure, he also hunted and caught [from] twen-
ty-five to thirty hares. Then, however,^ his horse,
in trying ^ to leap across a slough which lay in his way,
had the misfortune ^ to sink up to his neck in the mud.

Never could there be greater need of immediate help. ^
In an instant the baron had gripped the horse firmly with
his legs and seized his own queue * with his right hand.
Thus hunter and horse were drawn safely into the air.

At this moment he noticed a number of wild ducks
flying 8 out of the bushes. He could have made a sure
shot if the flint of the musket had not sprung off. But
he knew what to do. He relates that when he had
taken aim, ^ he struck himself in the eye, and so many
sparks flew out that the powder was set on fire and the
shot went off. gg Five pair of ducks, four geese and a
few water-hens were hit.

At the end ^ of this story the baron always used to re-
mark,^^ that presence of mind often led ^^ to unexpected
results in life and was the soul of manly deeds. And
when he had related enough for one evening, he would
promise still more remarkable stories for the next.

DEVILS IN THE MEADOWS OF HEAVEN. 47

The Devils in the Meadows of Heaven.

By RuDOiiPH Baumbach.

Many people ^ suppose ^ that good children who have^
died and gone to (the) heaven, have nothing to do but*
(to) amuse ^ themselves. But these people are mistaken,^
for if the angel-children merely flew about all day long
and played hide-and-seek behind the clouds, the angel-
school would not exist."^

In this school, where the multiplication table is not
known ^ and no geography is needed^, the little angels
learn to read out [of] fairy-story books with bright pic-
tures instead [of] out [of] A-B-C books, and for^^ writ-
ing ^^ they have silver slates and golden slate pencils.
And when they have been in school three hoursi in the
morning and two in the afternoon, they are not at all
tired.i2

Doctor Faust is the school-teacher in heaven. If a
certain story belonged here, you would see why he has
to keep school, after having taught ^^ on earth. They
say^* however, that in three thousand years the great
vacation will begin for him.

Every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon, which the
little angels have free, Doctor Faust takes them to walk
on the milky way. But what^^ they especially delight in,

is playing on the great blue meadow before the gate of
heaven. On Sunday they are allowed^ to play here,
where grow the thousands upon thousands [of] shining ^
golden and silver flowers which are called stars by us
mortals.

There^ they are supervised^ by^ Saint Peter, whose
duty ^ it is to keep watch at '' the gate. Doctor Faust is
not present, for he needs rest® in order to recover from
the toil of the past week. Saint Peter takes care that
none of the little angels go too far from the gate. He
has a golden key on which he can blow if any of them
should try to run or fly away, and they know that means
" Come back."

Usually® everything goes very nicely in their play. But
once, on a very hot day. Saint Peter fell asleep. The lit-
tle angels soon noticed it, and scattered hither and thither
over the whole meadow. Some were so enterprising [as]
to go on explorations, until they finally came to the place
where long ago^^ the world was shut in with boards. Af-
ter diligent ^^ se'arch they could not find the smallest
crack through which they could peep, so ^^ they had to
flutter up and look over.

There on the other side they saw a crowd of little coal-

black devils, with horns on their heads and long tails be-
hind, idling^ about before the gate of hell. No sooner^
had the angels been perceived by one of the little devils,
who happened to be looking upward, than all his com-
panions^ began to beg for admission into (the) heaven.
They begged that the angels would^ let them in for
just a short time, and promised that they would behave
themselves very properly.

The angels, who were pleased^ with the little black
fellows, began to whisper that they were sorry for the
poor little devils, and to think that they might safely^
grant them this innocent pleasure.

One of them said that he knew'' where (the) Jacob's
ladder was standing and proposed® that they bring it
there. They succeeded in raising® it over the barricade
of boards and letting it down. The little tailed fellows
there below could climb like apes, and were soon in the
heavenly meadows.

The devil's grandmother is said ^^ to have a great re-
gard for propriety gg and to have taught them all to carry
their tails over their arms like trains, and to walk about
properly. But such orderly behavior ^^ was not often to
be expected ^2 from them, and it was not longgg before,
they began to be ungovernable, to turn cart-wheels and

to shriek like real devils. Then they dared ^ to ridicule
the moon, which they saw looking out of a window in
heaven. Finally they noticed the flowers on the meadow,
and soon they had torn up many and thiown them down
to the earth. In spite of ^ their entreaties^ and threats,*
the little angels, who had now become frightened, could
not prevent^ their guests from carrying^ on more and
more madly.

Then the angels, bitterly regretting ^ their deed, de-
cided® to wake Saint Peter and confess everything to
him. When he became aware of the mischief ^g which
the devils were doing in heaven, he was very angry. ^
Clapping 1^ his hands together over his head, he com-
manded^^ the angels with thundering voice to march in.
When the last little [one] had^ crept through the gate,
he had a few strong angels called to him. The devils
were soon caught and carried where they belonged.

The little angels were told that^^ punishment would
not be delayed, and that they might not go before the
gate [for] three Sundays in succession. And a greater
disgrace was their having to take off their wings and
lay aside their halos when they went to walk.

The Suit about the Donkey's Shadow.

From WielandPs History of the AhderUea. (Abbreviated.)

Chapter 1.

One day Struthion, a dentist estiiblished in the city
[of] Abdera, wished to practice his calling in the neigh-
boring city of Gerania. Since the way which led there
was very long, he rented a donkey for a certain sum.

"I shall accompany you on foot, 73 Sir," said the
owner, a mule-driver named Anthrax, " because I want
to take care of the donkey and bring it home in the
evening."

As they were going over a great plain, the dentist be-

far and wide ^^ no shady place was to be found. At last
the sun shone so unbearably hot upon his head, that,
after he had looked about him in vain^ for a tree or
bush, he determined ^ to stop 75 and to sit down a minute
in the shadow of the donkey. As he dismounted, how-
ever. Anthrax asked him, what he was doing and what
it meant, ^g and demanded * that he should either ^ pay
for the shadow or get up and continue his journey.

The dentist, who thought that the mule-driver was only
joking, laughed and answered that it was understood ^g
that the shadow went with the donkey. The defiant
mule-driver, however, said that the donkey was one thing
and the shadow another, ^g and that he was entirely in
earnest. Neither he nor Struthion had said a word about
the shadow when they bargained about the donkey.
Struthion ought ^ to have paid for the shadow when
he hired the donkey, if he wanted to have that besides.

" I should be a threefold ass myself, if I did that,"
cried the dentist, and insisted ^ that the donkey was his
for the whole day, and that he should sit in its shadow

THE SUIT. 59

" Then you must come to the city judge at Abdera
without delay," said Anthrax with all the obstinacy of a
cold-blooded Abderite mule-driver. " You may depend
upon it, g2 he will not allow ^ you to take the shadow of
my donkey from me against my will."

The dentist would have liked to bring the mule-
driver to terms gg by the strength of his arm. But when
he had measured his man with his eyes, ^ his raised
arm gradually sank and he stopped ^ clenching his fist.
No way remained in short, ^ but to try once more, with
milder measures. Anthrax, however, relying^ on ob-
taining ^ his rights, was obstinate. At last, instead of
wasting more breath, Struthion returned with him to
Abdera.

Chapter 2.

The judge before whom the dentist and the mule-
driver now brought their case, was called Philippides.
He was diligent in his office, and had the reputation ^
of judging^ (the) people with great clemency. It is
true ^ when he listened to two parties the one who spoke

last could always convince^ him that he was in the right.
But aside from this little peculiarity ^ Philippides had so
many merits, that the Abderites made allowances g^ for
this one fault. They thought that without it a man of
such patience and honesty would have been one of the
best judges among those who had been known in Abdera.

This worthy judge thought^ the case of the two men
who now came running before him [was] very confused,
for each of the two seemed to be a plaintiff. They both
told the affair at the same time with all its attendant
circumstances, and screamed so loud that the judge could
make neither head nor tailgg of the case. He shruggod
his shoulders and with his usual forbearance bogged
them to state their case once more, one after the othei*.

Struthion complained of the mule-driver that lie had
prevented^ him from having^ the benefit of the shadow
of the donkey ^ he had hired for the day. He said that
the shadow was never mentioned in such a contract, but
that"^ it always went with the donkey. Therefore the
contract had been broken by the mule-driver.

" As the shadow is an accessory of the donkey," said
the judge, " the one who rented the donkey should have
the benefit of the shadow also."

Anthrax, however, ^ answered : " I must confess, that
I rented the donkey, and that I was paid ^ half ^ the
price ire«i5C.aii€e. But the donkey is one thing and the
shadow another, yg and since I had rented only the
former, I had a right to dispose of the latter as I chose.*
The dentist made my donkey stand in the sun, in
order that he might sit in its shadow. It is clear that
he has appropriated to himself a thing g^ that he had
not rented. It is only right that he should pay for
the shadow at least half of what he paid for the
donkey."

In great perplexity the judge counselled them, " Settle
with each other amicably."g9 He advised Struthion to
give the mule-driver half a drachma and tried ^ to
' convince ^ Anthrax that a shadow was nothing but a
shadow and should therefore be included in the
rent.

But each insisted on his rights. The dentist demanded
his, and said he would not pay the smallest part of a
drachma for the shadow.

Anthrax answered that he could control his own prop-

erty. And instead ^ of letting the shadow be included
in the rent, he now demanded twice as much for it.

At liast it occurred to the judge who could think
of no other pretext to gain time, to have the chief char-
acter in the play brought into court. But after the
donkey had stood there and stared them all in the face,
had snapped his jaws and dropped his cars, Philippides
was still in perplexity. It was a pity that its opmion of
the affair could not be given.

The owner of the donkey, considering it a good sign
that the gentlemen inspected ^ the donkey, claimed that
on so hot a day as this, the shadow of the tall, handsome
beast was worth at least two drachmas, qq

The judge had to try conciliation again, and the oppo-
nents were approaching an agreement 91 when a new turn
was given to the affair by two lawyers. They came up
and asked what the conversation was about. Since Stru-
thion was considered a prosperous man, one of the law-
yers rushed in ahead of his comrade and proclaimed him-
self on the side of the dentist. The other, after a side-

glance at the donkey, which looked as if it was worth a
good price,^ promised ^ the mule-driver to help him to his
rights. Therefore they began again to dispute.^

" Since you will not hear a word of compromise," said
the judge, finally, " I must appoint a trial, the donkey,
as object of the lawsuit, shall be taken to the public sta-
ble." The two men therefore went home to wait* until
the appointed day.

Chapter 3.

When the rumor of the lawsuit spread abroad, it imme-
diately ^ made [a] sensation in the city of Abdera. Only
think with what interest every one would talk of such
a case. Scarcely had some taken the side of the dentist
or the mule-driver when others began to insist that the
donkey also must have his rights.

" He would be justified," they said, " in claiming ^ in-
demnity. He was evidently most defrauded by the de-
mand that he should stand in the sun while ^ the dentist
sat in his shadow."

From this hour they could not have carried on the
affair with more zeal if they had had a great deal to win
or lose by it. In a word, all other subjects of conversa-
tion were dropped,® as if the said donkey had cast his

shadow over all Abdera, and the welfare of the repub-
lic was at stake. ^^

In the early times of the republic, the Abderites di-
vided all the citizens into guilds. In the guild to which
Struthion according to an old custom belonged were
included at first only shoemakers and cobblers. But
afterward they admitted all kinds of menders, and finally
menders of people. Therefore, by virtue of this old
custom, surgeons and dentists belonged to the cobbler's
guild. Struthion's superior, the guildmaster Pfriem,
to whom he now naturally turned, and all the cobblers
were on his gide.

Pfriem, in his well known patriotic zeal for the lib-
erties of the republic, immediately declared: "The
rights of Abdera shall never be violated in your person.
I would sooner be stabbed with my own awl than let
that happen."

With his usual heat, he asked what would become of
their freedom if a citizen was not free to sit in a shadow,
whether ^ it was the shadow of a donkey, a tree, or even
of the great court-house. Struthion might rely upon

him, he would never let it come 95 to that ^ as long as
his name was Pfriem. The mule-driver ought to allow
him the donkey also for his due satisfaction.

Anthrax in the mean time ^ had also sought a pro-
tector. The latter, the chief priest of the Jason temple,
easily held his own with gg the guild-master, for the peo-
ple revered him like a god. As Anthrax was a freed
man who had long ^ lived in the precincts of the Jason
temple and so been under its direct jurisdiction, he knew
he must not fail 97 to secure the favor of the head of the
temple. His request was kindly received by the chief
priest who was not mclinedgg to permit that a man
standing under the protection of Jason should be ex-
posed to the tricks of a lawyer.

" The case is absurd in itself," he said, " but no open
cabal nor* partial^ guildmaster shall oppress^ the least
prot^g^ of this temple."

But although the chief priest took the matter so se-
riously, many of the citizens at first regarded it as an
absurd dispute, and blamed the judge for not having"^
nipped it in the bud. ^q^ ^^ ^^^ affair began to turn the
heads 103 of the citizens, however, the greater part of the

ness. It must be said for the sake of truth, iqq that some
seem to have taken the side 105 of the mule-driver because
they really felt that injustice had been done him. But
there were others who joined a party from a mere spirit
of opposition, in order to be the opponents of certain
people with whom they were never of the same opinion.

Things had not been in this ferment long before the
adherents of Struthion's party began to designate them-
selves as the "Shadows," and those who were not of the
same opinion about his right to the shadow as " Donkeys."
Their opponents took the name given in scorn and de-
rision, and found it easy to turn the tables ^qq and con-
nect the idea of contempt ^ with the Shadows and that of
honor 2 with the Donkeys. They said that any brave
fellow who must be one of the two, would rather be a
real live donkey than the mere shadow of one.

After these names began to be universally used, and
the zeal on both sides had increased violently, great dis-
order arose from it. It was soon a real misfortune for
either a Shadow or a Donkey to be the only one of his
party in a house with a number of citizens. If he did

not change his views on the spot, he would soon be
thrust out of the door with violent blows.

In a little while the bitterness had gone so far that
whenever two citizens met on the street they were com-
pelled to ask which side each was taking j^ in the contest,
instead of exchanging the usual questions ; and a Don-
key would not buy bread of a Shadow^ even^ if starva-
tion ^ were reducing him to a real ghost.

While the men were taking sides so hotly, we may
rely upon it that the women would not remain neutral
long, and we may easily imagine the consequences.
Many a fair [maid] broke off a love affair because her
lover had not been able to convince her that he was a Don-
key, and many a lover instead of having to sue years for
favor, needed only to give up his party to be happy. Even
the fishwives in the public market took sides, and it is
said that^ two of these women once scratched each other's
faces, 1Q7 and so shed the first blood in this civil war.

Since no existing law could be quoted for the decision*
of this most serious case about the shadow, the affair
was brought before the " Great Council" of the republic.
A stormy debate preceded the decision ^ to give the first
day of the following month to this question,

Chapter 4.

At last the decisive day approached. By daybreak
Shadows and Donkeys were on their feet. They were
in too great agitation to take ^ breakfast properly, and
all provided themselves with strong clubs and knives,
or hid daggers under their clothes.

The Shadows filled the whole market-place, and be-
trayed their sentiments by a noisy cheer whenever a
judge of the Shadow-party ascended to the porch of the
temple opposite them. Complainant and defendant were
there early ^ to take their proper places and the four
hundred men of which the "Great Council" was com-
posed, had aU assembled, but still they waited for the
president who always appeared late on such occasions.

In the mean time, however, the whole assembly was re-
stored to its natural good humor by some music of the
president's composition. The witty conceits to which
occasion was thus given, caused great laughter. After
they had interrupted the music continually, with stale
jokes, and had compared, for instance, the allegro with a
battle-cry, the adagio with a funeral song^ the party

violence that still possessed them, had, unnoticed by
them, lost its venom. Thus they were prepared for the
trial, and the music, instead of merely entertaining
them, seems to have contributed more than anything
else to the preservation of the state.

A new outburst of merriment was caused by the ap-
pearance of the president's body-guard. It was grotesque
to see the clumsiness ^ of these poor workmen, who had
been armed with dull halberds and rusty swords in
order to give the court dignity in the eyes of the people.
The way they looked might have frightened the birds.
That war-like outfit could never give them the appear-
ance of soldiers.

With much difficulty the herald got the people to keep
quiet. The meeting was opened by a short speech from
the president. Then the herald, after he had again com-
manded silence, summoned the lawyers. They, of
course, ^ treated the case with the greatest seriousness.
For, to be a master of his art, a lawyer must have such

a legal mind that he seizes with enthusiasm any ^ oppor-
tunity to be heard even in such an absurd case as this.

Struthions counsel Physignatus was the first who
showed his genius and his power as an advocate by car-
rying on with seriousness and pathos ^ a suit i^g which
was so ludicrous in itself. Being a man of strong and
mighty lungs he was sure of success. Since he could
rely on having Abderites for hearers he made his art
consist merely in giving life and expression to his ad-
dress by the modulation of his voice within the compass
of an octave and a half. To-day he surpassed him-
self by letting his voice spring from one interval to
another. He made moreover so many grimaces and
gesticulations that merely through them, he would have
made himself intelligible to his hearers.

Stepping 3 forward, he addressed the Four-hundred by
calling them noble, wise and powerful and then began
to praise* the lawgivers of Abdera, who were busied
with a case the decision of which the magistrates in a
less free state would not have considered important

enough for discussion.^ To live under the protection
of a court of justice to which the smallest rights of the
citizens were sacred, was to enjoy a freedom, the glory
of which was now fully revealed. When he appeared
among the expectant crowd on this great day, he felt
more fortunate than ever before in being a citizen of Ab-
dera.

The object of this lawsuit, he said seemed so insig-
nificant that it had been omitted ^ from the catalogue ^
of articles* which the law recognized^ as property. It
was something to which a dialectician might even have
refused a name and yet it had become an object of uni-
versal interest. In no other republic, however sharply
the laws of property might be defined, did the government
regard the claims of the people to such an extent^ that
the supreme court would recognize any man's right to
a mere'' shadow.

But although^ Physignatus gave this glorious testi-

mony to their excellent constitution he on the other
hand lamented that the whole-hearted simplicity [known]
in^ their elders had decreased ^ lamentably^ among them-
selves. These he said had sometimes waived their rights
out of friendship, while now there was such a decrease
of good-heartedness that a niggardly and selfish Abde-
rite could refuse a fellow-citizen even a shadow.

But here Physignatus begged pardon for the uninten-
tional insult, for no such disgrace attached to any
Abderite. The city could not be contaminated by the
misdeed of a man who was not a native^ but merely tol-
erated as an inhabitant. Such an inhuman fellow must
have been a man from the dregs of the people, and was,
— as was to be expected, — a mule-driver.

Then, to show that he did not call the deed by too
strong a name, the lawyer begged his hearers to put
themselves in Struthion's place as he travelled to Gera-
nia to lessen the sufferings of his fellow-beings. He pic-
tured^ the sultry summer day, the glowing horizon
which seemed to have been transformed into an oven,
and the scorching rays of the sun, subdued by no clouds.

The flaming sun blinded^ the wanderer's eyes and seemed
to suck the marrow from his bones. If he could only-
have breathed a mouthful of fresher air, or been safe
one instant from the severe heat of the sun, he would
have recovered a little. Biit however anxiously he
looked about him for a shady place, there was no refuge ^
to be found. On the road to Gerania there was no tree
nor shrub to be seen in whose protection he might
escape^ the glowing arrows of remorseless Apollo.
Human nature cannot endure such heat too long, and at
last Struthion had to stop the donkey, and then sank
down exhausted.

"Under these circumstances," cried Physignatus, "be
it said to the shame of such an unfeeling monster as
this mule-driver, my client was refused even such a poor
means of recovery as a donkey's shadow. And this stony-
hearted [fellow], incredible as it seems, actually boasts
of his shame, and dares* to acknowledge it of his own
accord, m and to assert before this court that he did
right! We are not going to be persuaded that An-
thrax had an exclusive right to the shadow."

Then came the real argument. He said that a shadow
could not be considered a real thing, because it was
made by nothing positive. Light was merely withdrawn
from the place where the shadow was, while it lay upon
the objects that surrounded the shadow. If it was not
the " mulishness " of the donkey but his corporeity and
opacity which made him cast the shadow, then his
client did not sit in the shadow of a donkey but in the
shadow of a body. Since therefore a shadow could
be cast by every opaque body, no one had any direct
right to a shadow, let alone ^ an exclusive [right].
What sort of (a) body it was that cast a certain shadow
had nothing to do with the case,ii2 ^^^ could not
concern ng anyone who was using it.

But, Physignatus continued, even if a shadow was
classified 2 as a thing, it must be reckoned among the
things common to all, and therefore he who had first
taken possession of it had in so doing ^ won the best
right to it. If the shadow was not an appurtenance of the
donkey, every one had as much right to it as Anthrax.

But even if the shadow were an appurtenance of the
donkey, Physignatus showed* that the other side could

gain nothing by his admitting i it. For it is understood
in every contract of rental, that all the appurtenances of
a thing are given with it for the use of the lessee. A
man who sold a lyre, for instance,^ could not demand
that he be paid for its sound whenever anyone played
on it, and Anthrax' demand to have the shadow of the
donkey paid for was just as absurd. Beyond contra-
diction. Anthrax had either possessed himself of some-
thing to which he had no right, and taken usury, or in
so far as the shadow was really his, he had denied to
a neighbor to whom it was almost indispensable the
smallest thing that could be mentioned. The dilemma*
was clear to all.

Then Physignatus, speaking further to the noble and
powerful Four-hundred, said that inasmuch as the gods
themselves need not blush to lay their disputes before
the court of Abdera, so, such an outrage ought not
to find protection here, since, in order to discern on
which side the right lies one has only to hear the case
stated. No more reasons need (to) be given.

Therefore Physignatus demanded, in the name of his
client, that [the case of] the plaintiff be dismissed, and
that the latter be sentenced to pay all the costs of the

satisfaction he demanded, he said, was the least Anthrax
owed, and was^ not at all in proportion to the greatness
of his crime. He and the other ''Donkeys" had dis-
turbed and attacked the business of the dentist in count-
less ways. He had dared to trouble the highest court
of the republic with such a frivolous case. Contention
and danger had been brought into the whole state by his
contemptible behavior. Then, pointing ^ to the count-
less citizens crowded upon the terraces around the judg-
ment place, Physignatus demanded satisfaction in the
name of his injured fellow-citizens, and declared^ that
the welfare of the republic depended on the judgment
which the court should give.

He stopped speaking, and the people in the market-
place, who had taken fresh courage n^ during his speech,
shouted their approval so loudly and continued* it^ so
long that the judges feared they would break up the
whole trial. But quiet was at last restored, and the

party of the chief priest waited anxiously until Poly-
phonus, a sturdy man with curly hair and black eye-
brows, had come forward and raised his voice.

Poljrphonus said that he left all the jugglery of
rhetoric to his opponent. It was not his business to
consider whether or not the Republic [of] Abdera would
derive honor and renown from a suit over a donkey's
shadow. It did not become him to derive advantage
from oratory, to bribe the judges by flattery, or to
frighten them by threats. Only a man who was in the
wrong could need such help, for truth, like light had
this advantage overijg all other things, that it could not
be concealed.^

''Therefore," he said, "instead of trying to dazzle the
judges by my discourse, or to pull the wool over their
eyes, ^g I shall prove how much less in the wrong is my
client than his opponent. The judge will not let the
elocutionary arts of my opponent deceive ^ him, and
I shall not need to remind him of his duty-'^^y

Here his speech was interrupted with cries and
threats from the crowd. Polyphonus was not able to
continue, until silence was once more obtained by the
president's rising from his ivory throne, by the militia's
thrusting out theii* long spears and by the herald's re-
peatedly calling the people to order, ^g

He gave the Four-hundred to understand that he
spoke as [a] deputy of the high priest, his illustrious
and reverend master, not merely as [an] advocate of the
mule-driver Anthrax. It would not be difficult to
prove that Anthrax' case was the nearer right of the
two and that due satisfaction should be given him.

Unlike his opponent, he did not intend to waste his
words 119 but to come immediately to the point. 120

Efis argument was that the dentist had rented the don-
key for a definite purpose,^ to carry him eight miles to
Gerania. At the rental, neither had thought that Stru-
thion might want to dismount in the middle of the plain
and force the donkey to stand longer in the sun. And
in spite of the asinine turn given the affair by Anthrax,
which was simply the joke of a man who had always
lived among donkeys, Struthion ought to have recom-
pensed him for the loss of time caused by his dismount-
ing. Since Anthrax grew up entirely among donkeys,
he gained a sort of right to be classed with those animals.
But Struthion, who ought to have acted like a sensible
and just man, had no excuse ^ for taking^ this joke in
earnest. If Struthion had only given the mule-driver

half a drachma, they would not have fallen out over a
shadow, but would soon have gone peacefully on their
way.

If Struthion had been an honest or a just man he
would have remunerated the mule-driver for the time the
donkey was kept standing in the sun. If he had done
so Anthrax would gladly have consented to the dentist's
sitting in the shadow and recovering his breath. But
instead of speaking in a friendly tone, he insisted on his
rights by virtue of the contract. Anthrax flies into a
passion, jgi and thus this absurd case was brought before
the court. 122

Poljrphonus ended by ascribing^ the present lawsuit
to his colleague Physignatus. Without his intervention,^
he said, the dentist would have made a compromise. ^24
He then proposed that for the service thus rendered, the
judges should have Physignatus' ears cropped and some
donkey% ears put on instead. He promised in the name
of his principal that Anthrax should be given twenty-

five lashes as a reward for his indiscretion. The high
priest, however, would not fail to demand that the court
award his subordinate the damages due him.

After the deep silence caused by this unexpected
speech of Polyphonus, the good impression he had pro-
duced became evident.^ Nearly all the four hundred men
now saw the affair in the new light in which Polyphonus
had put it, and there were scarcely twenty left who did
not want to award damages to the priest. They blamed
the instigators of the lawsuit, and wanted to appoint
a commission to discover ^ the man who had carried a
simple affair to such lengths.

But Physignatus was forced by this proposal to reply.
He reminded^ them that his opponent had openly con-
fessed that the complaint entered* by his client was un-
founded, and had been based on a merely supposed right
of possession. But in spite of acknowledging that his
case was unjust, he had dared to talk of indemnification.

THE SUIT. 103

One question constituted the object of the dispute,
whether right of possession in the donkey extended to
its shadow.

"Since my opponent," said Physignatus, "has not
been able to prove this, he talks about deterioration of
the donkey, whict has nothing to do with the case. I
claim a just sentence for my lawful demand."

The bewildered judges were silent, but the people
murmured, and the "Shadows" began to hold up their
heads again. The president turned again to the counsel
for the plaintiff and asked what he had to say in answer
to his opponent. Polyphonus replied, but he added little
to what he had already said. He repeated ^ that every one
had been at fault, complainant, defendant, the judge who
heard the case first, and all Abdera. An evil wind
seemed to have blown upon them all. It was to be
hoped that the judges would end the procedure as soon
as they could.

"This farce does not depend upon my efforts ^ for
its success. I do not lack breath to speak for my client's
right to the shadow, and if I were commanded to do so
I could speak from sunrise to sunset. But I will leave
the case to you. Speak as the gods have inspired you."

THE SUIT. 105

If chance, the great protector of all Abderites, had
not taken the judges under its care at^ this time, it is
hard to see how they would have come out of the affair
with honor. But before they could take any means to
release themselves ^ from this embarrassment, an unex-
pected close was suddenly given to the drama.

Chapter 5.

While the donkey's shadow was causing such strange
darkness in the brains of the Abderites, the donkey
itself was being cared for in the public stables, where it
had been led to stay until the outcome of the lawnsuit.
On the morning when the affair was to come to an end,
it occurred to the stablemen to curry the donkey, deco-
rate it with ribbons, and lead it with great pomp to the
temple. If the poor animal, which, as chance would
have it, was again to be chief actor ^gg in the drama, had
not arrived at the market-place just as Polyphonus was
finishing his speech, the judges would not have known
[how] to help themselves.

Countless street-arabs were making a great noise

around the donkey, and everybody rushed and crowded
toward the side where it was coming. Some of the peo-
ple began to cry out that the donkey had ruined them
all, J29 and that it would have been better if he had been
taken by wolves before he could bring such a lawsuit
upon their heads. ^gQ Then a tinker shouted that the
donkey should yet atone for it, ^^ and the whole crowd
rushed upon it ^3^ and tore it into a thousand pieces.
Not even a hair of its tail was left. The eagerness with
which they wrestled and fought and beat each other for
the fragments, had no parallel. ^33 In a few minutes
those whose plunder had not been torn from them had
run home with it, the others had pursued them, and the
market-place was empty. In the meantime the four
hundred men, falling into great anxiety, had pulled out
the glittering daggers they were secretly carrying under
their cloaks. But as soon as they saw the cause of the
uproar, they could do nothing but look at each other in
amazement and then break into irrepressible laughter.

The president was the first to come to himself. He
saw that since the people had wreaked their vengeance jg^
on the innocent cause of the lawsuit, it was now pos-
sible to restore the general quiet. It only depended on

a good decision on the part of the judges. Thanking
Heaven for the fitting outcome given to the ajffair, he
thereupon proposed that since it would do no good^g^ to
rack their brains over^g^ the shadow of a donkey that no
longer existed, they should publicly declare the whole
matter ended. Also that the costs should be restored
to both parties from the public treasury, and that they
should have a monument erected to the donkey at the
expense of the state. ''May this ever serve as a re-
minder to our descendants," he said, "how easily a great
republic might be destroyed." As this was certainly the
wisest decision which any one could have reached, 137 all
were glad to clap their approval of the proposal and
thus buy peace for the republic. Now that this attack
of madness was over, the Abderites themselves did not
fail to laugh at their foolishness. The story was put
into a ballad, and the people were soon singing it in all
the streets, as if the affair had never concerned them in
the least. Within a few weeks a comedy was also made
from it, for which the music was composed by the presi-
dent. And with both parties its presentation won the
greatest applause.

The Princess on the Pea.

By Hans Chbistian Andebsen.

There was once^ a prince who wanted to marry a
princess ; but she waa ^ to be a real ^ princess. So * he
travelled about, all through the world, jgg to find a real
one, but everywhere [there] was something in^ the
way. There were^ princesses enough, but whether '^
they ® were real princesses he could not quite make out :
there was always something that did not seem quite
right. i3g So® he came^^ home again, and was quite
sad : for he wished so much ^^ to have a real princess.

One evening ^^ a terrible storm came on. It lightened
and thundered ; the rain streamed down ; it was quite
fearful I Then there was a knocking ^ at the town
gate, and the old king went out to open it.

It was a princess who stood outside ^ the gate. But,
mercy I ^* how she looked, from the rain and the rough
weather! The water ran down from^^ her hair and
her clothes ; it ran in ^^ at ^^ the points of her shoes,
and out ^® at ^® the heels ; and yet she declared that she
was a real princess.

"Yes, we will soon find that out," thought the old
queen. But she said nothing, went into the bed-cham-

ber, took all the bedding^ ofif, and put^ a pea on the
flooring of the bedstead; then she took twenty mat-
tresses and laid them upon the pea and then twenty
eider-down beds upon the mattresses. On this^ the
princess had * ix) lie all night. In the morning she was
asked how she had slept.

"O, miserably!" said the princess. "I scarcely^
closed my eyes all night [long]. Goodness® knows
what was ^ in my bed. I lay upon something hard, so
that I am black and blue all over.^ It is quite dread-
full" ^

Now they saw^ that she was a real princess, for
through the twenty mattresses and the twenty eider-
down beds she had felt the pea. No one but ^^ a real
princess could be so delicate.

So the prince took her for his ^^ wife, for now he know
that he had a true princess ; and the pea was put ^ in
the museum, where it is still to be ^^ seen, unless ^* some-
body has carried it ofif.

Look you,^ this is a true story.

The Blessings of Logic.

The renowned professor of logic. Dr. Gypius, sat in
his study at his writing-desk, bent over a book, with a
great pipe in his left hand. After he had read one para-

graph of the work attentively three times without grasp-
ing its meaning,^ he leaned back in his armchair with an
astonished countenance.

" Hm, remarkable ! " he said to himself half aloud.
" This famous book is written in the German language
and treats of logic. I understand both the German
language and logic, yet I cannot fathom the meaning of
this chapter. What follows from all this, gentlemen ? ^
The answer is clear. It is not the fault of ^ this unim-
peachable work, but of me. Good ! Now, if I do not
understand what I have read, the cause might be a weak-
ness, or a confusion of mind. But that is not the case,
for I am in a condition ^ to draw correct conclusions. I
now propound the question, ' Am I in a sober or an in-
toxicated condition?' The correctness of the answer
depends on the correct judgment ^ of the facts. This
morning about two hours ago, I drank a glass of tea, but
besides this ^ I have introduced no sort of ^ nourishment
into my body, either of a liquid or a solid nature. Now
chemistry teaches that tea boiled in water does not con-
tain an atom [of] alcohol ; consequently I am sober, con-
sequently intoxication cannot have caused my inabiUty
to understand that chapter . . • What possibihty of ex-
plaining this phenomenon have we still ? The possibil-
ity, if not also the probability, I say therefore, gentle-
men, the possibility that I am at this instant sleeping
and dreaming vividly. If this is so,® then it is impos-

sible for me to assure myself of it.* What must I do
under such cu'cumstanees, in order to obtain certainly
about the facts ? I must cause another mature person,*
who is in a waking condition, to determine what the
facts are."

Doctor Gypius rang the electric bell and soon the
trim servant-girl entered the room. " Anna," began the
professor, "I have — "

" I beg your pardon, 14^ Professor," answered the girl,
smiling roguishly, " my name is still ^ Minna."

" Very well, dear Minna," began the professor again,
" I am in doubt, whether I am now, that is, at this in-
stant, awake or dreaming. There arises for you on the
one hand,* as a servant girl, on the other ^ as a fellow-
being who ought to help a neighbor at every opportun-
ity, the unavoidable duty of delivering me from my un-
certainty. Therefore ! "

Again the girl smiled, then she said : " I think you
must be « dreaming."

" Dear Johanna — I beg your pardon, I would say
dear Emilie," returned Professor Gypius, "allow me
to reply to your answer as follows."^ You said first, ' I
think . . .' That seems to me to be a false manner of
expression, for you must know definitely, whether I am
dreaming or awake, — unless ® at this instant your ap-
pearance also is a dream, to which ® I intend to return
later. Secondly, when you gave verbal expression to
your opinion of ^^ my condition, you used the expression

„tDo\)V* That was superfluous, since the preceding
sentence had already shown the hypothetical character
of your opinion by ^ the verb ' think.' But to business.^
I will be a little less technical, so that you may under-
stand me more easily." Therefore, dear Clara, we will
assume, that when you leave my room in the immedi-
ate^ future, you will meet a person, who asks you
whether Professor Gypius is asleep or awake just
now, — what would be the answer you would give, on
the basis ^ of your observations ? "

Minna answered, convulsively stifling her laughter,
" Professor Gypius is sitting at his writing-desk and is
not asleep."

" I thank you, dear Augusta," said Professor Gypius,
and added after serious meditation " you may go."

"Now the fact is determined beyond doubt," the
learned man resumed his monologue, " that I am awake
and not asleep nor dreaming. I can explain the strange
occurrence, that I, as a logician, do not understand a
passage in an excellent German book about logic, only
by this,^ that I am absent-minded. But why am I so,®
gentlemen ? "

His glance fell on his pipe and his face brightened.

"Possibly because I have not followed the custom
which has become"^ second nature to me, of smoking
while reading."

He stuck the mouthpiece between his lips and began
the reading ^ anew, again without result.

He took the pipe out of his mouth and looked at it.

" Since I neither feel in my mouth, the specific warmth
which one perceives when smoking, nor am sensible of
the smell of tobacco, the supposition that I have not
lighted the tobacco might be justified by the facts."

He leaned over, saw with satisfaction that his infer-
ence fully agreed with the facts and rang the bell.

Minna appeared again.

" Dear Matilda," said Professor Gypius, " will you
kindly hand me a match, so that I may convert the
tobacco into a state of combustion ? " ^

Minna approached him with a burning match. In his
absent-mindedness Professor Gypius stuffed the tobacco
into place ^ with Minna's forefinger and began to smoke.

" You may go again, dear Bertha."

The scholar^ puffed comfortably and again went to
work. Soon he knocked his pipe against the table to
shake out the ashes, and hearing the knock called,
" Oome in ! " * No one appeared, however, and after
waiting a few minutes, the professor began to read
again. But it was vain trouble. He could not find out
what the author meant. ' Professor Gypius now became
seriously disturbed. He bent a little over the table, as
if it were a lecturer's desk, and began in a meditative
voice :

"Although I am sober and awake, understand the
German language, am a specialist in ^ the province ^ of
logic, and am smoking my pipe, I cannot succeed in
grasping the meaning of this chapter. We have to do
with a phenomenal occurrence, gentlemen, which

makes a more thorough investigation necessary. A pro-
fessor of logic who does not understand an exposition
on ^ logic, would be something so illogical, that we can-
not assume ^ it otherwise than as hypothetical and pro-
visional. We will now try to solve this apparent
riddle by logic itself. After the possibilities of expla-
nation thus far enumerated have proved untenable, we
will continue to seek for other possible causes. Such
could be the piresence ^ of great absent-mindedness. And
this absence of mind must be traced back to a deeper
cause. Good ! What circumstances could make me so
absent-minded? With reference to this there would
have to be considered, first, money matters. But there can
be no question of that with me, ^^^ for since I have no
money, there can be no money matters for me, that is clear.

" Secondly, family matters ; and (1) family matters in
a bmader* sense, (2) the same^ in a narrower sense;
«) I establish the fact, that of my relatives who were
qualified either directly or indirectly to induce absent-
mindedness in me, none are now living;^ ^) I have to
observe, that I have no children, and that I am at
present ^ unmarrried, — yes, that I am at present un-
married. — Hm — ."

Professor Gypius paused, the wrinkles on his forehead
smoothed out, — over his face spread the sunshine of
bright joy and the learned man now continued, with
raised voice :

" But ^ future occurrences are able to call forth a con-
centration of the mental powers even in the present,

gentlemen ; and this is and was the case with me. Now
I have succeeded in finding, by purely logical discussion,
the cause of my peculiar absent-mindedness. At twelve
o'clock I am to appear at ^ the mayor's office ^ of this
place to be married to my betrothed."

Professor Gypius bowed to his imaginary hearers and
rang the bell.

Minna appeared.

" Dear Helen," said the learned man, " with regard to ^
the fact that I must arrive* at the mayor's office at
twelve o'clock, for the purpose of fulfilling^ my offi-
cial marriage ^ with my betrothed, and in consideration
of the circumstance, that it is already a quarter of
twelve, I beg you to get me a carriage."

Minna got the desired conveyance. Professor Gypius
called to the coachman, " To the University, quickly ! "
In this roundabout way^ he arrived, three quarters of an
hour late, before the office where he was anxiously
awaited.

was it considered ^ an inevitable requisite for a person of
culture ^ to have heard at least one of his concerts, but
for those of musical proclivity ^ it was a question of* life
and death to have seen the virtttoso at ^ their own house.
A salon was greatly ^ in danger of losing ^ its painfully
acquired reputation if Liszt had not honored it with a
visit. Much ® higher than the musical treat, which was
easily attaiaable for two thalers, stood the consciousness
of being able to say at the proper moment, with ap-
parent nonchalance, but with the blessed ® assurance of
crushing ^ a less fortunate rival : " Do you know, my
dear,^^ Liszt was with^^ us on Thursday? We had only
a few ^ friends iavited to meet him. j^g He played the

lie down on the sofa, and have ice and cologne applied i*
to her throbbing ^^ forehead.

When the excitement in ^^ town had reached its height
I found, one evening after coming ^^ home exhausted by
a round of lessons to untalented beginners, an invitation
from Frau Geheimrat ^® Pfeffermiinze. She asked me to
put in an appearance ^ at her salon that very evening ^

The note bore signs of haste ; Frederick the Great
and Napoleon had granted themselves more time to sign
the orders of cabinet than had the Frau Geheimrat. I
jumped into my dress-coat head over heels,^ for there
was not a moment to spare, and hastened to the Char-
lotten Strasse.

The first story was illuminated with an unreasonable
profusion of oil and wax. A gentle shiver passed ^ over
my back; in the little reception-room, the inviolable
sanctuary of the Geheimrat in the eyes of young and
giddy musicians, glittered the lights of a chandelier.
The hall door stood wide open with that philosophically
resigned hospitality which in general confines itself to
funerals with four horses. At * such supreme moments
the lesser laws of life^ become void, and even those
beings, which would never be asked to a place ® at ^ the
family table, were made ^ welcome.

"Heavens!" I exclaimed in a whispered monologue,
"it cannot be that the Geheimrat has died an® unex-
pected death ! " The absurdity of the supposition im-
mediately became apparent, for, as ^^ I passed through the
reception-room, the head of the house appeared before
me in person, at ^^ the right of the gilded mirror, sur-
rounded by satellites, and saluted me graciously with a
mild wave of his hand. As long as we could remember

he had not condescended to receive any ordinary musi-
cians, such as we were,^ personally, for we were never
invited to the higher esoteric fStes. To make his pres-
ence more emphatically imposing, he had adorned him-
self with three or four badges of honor instead of wear-
ing merely the ribbons belonging thereto.^

What had occurred ? ^ What was about * to occur ?

The Geheimrat was tx) me an unapproachable entity.

I dared not^ ask him. ® Etiquette demanded that I

me. His lady^ might ^ be looked upon as more con-
descending, but to-day I should have to forego ^^ any po-
lite advances. Like the vestal High Priestess in Spon-
tini's opera, she stood in the centre of a group of maidens
festively arrayed.^^ Man, at any other time a much-
sought-for article, had evidently fallen in ^^ price. The
young gentlemen, even the boldest lions of society, stood
close together, and did not venture above a whisper.^^

What had occurred ? What was about to occur ?

My vague forebodings became ^* certainty as I heard a
pale and criminally ^^ lean gentleman, one notorious^® for^^
his festive odes, say to his neighbor : '' He is coming !
You will see the godlike youth face to face."^^ The
person addressed,^® like the contrite Brahmin, stared at

" I breakfasted with him yesterday. A most delightful

fast with him every day, life had looked brighter to
him!^

Among the bards near by* a wild state ^ of excite-
ment made itself felt.® Their leader distributed printed
leaflets among them, and the poet stepped nearer^ to
designate a certain passage in the third stanza which re-
quired a decided crescendo. Just then the Frau Ge-
heimrat came rustling ^ into the circle.

*' Would it not be better," she said, smiling benignly,
but struggling with a nervous tremor, "if the chorus
were to retire ® into the adjoining room, so as ^^ [to have]
the music come ^^ from ^ a greater distance ? "

"Frau Geheimrat is right," exclaimed the poet en-
couragingly, urging the youths of Berlin into the next
room. " The chant should impress him ^^ as coming ^*
from another, purer world. Then in the third and last
stanzas ^^ the angels descend and greet the genius here

The clock on the mantel struck nine ; the Geheimrat
still stood sentinel at the right of the mirror,^ convers-
ing* with the aristocratic element. In the background
preparations for a sacrificial offering of tea seemed to be
going on,^ but no one ventured to begin the solemn ce-
remony. My conjecture was that the hostess feared
thereby to offend the august spirit of the expected
genius.

It struck a quarter, it struck half-past — still no

of geniuses ! " a young lawyer, who was at ^ other times
the Aristophanes 2 of these receptions, ventured to re-
mark with some bitterness.

" Liszt did not name ^ the hour, I should say by way
of vindication;* he merely promised to come. You
know that his time is tasked ^ to the utmost. A king
may seclude himself from his worshippers, but a virtuoso
has not an hour of the ^ day to call "^ his own," said the
Geheimrat, soothingly.

A carriage came rattling wildly up to the door ^ and
stopped. "It is he!" cried an academic youth, whom
the master of the house had stationed as [a] sentry at^
the first window.

The moment was overwhelming. As fast as^^ cir-
cumstances would permit ^^ the guests grouped pictu-
resquely. The Geheimrat took ^^ the centre at the right
of the mirror : his lady, our gracious patroness, seized the
white silk ribbons on ^^ which the ode had been printed
in gilt letters. The chorus of priestesses arranged itself
artistically about her ; the chorus of Berlin youths began
to sing in the adjoining room; we mutes sent greedy
glances to meet ^* the expected guest.

" That is not the blond head of our Samson, A vaunt,
venal slave ! " muttered the manufacturer of festive
odes. The black-headed little fellow was actually one
of the secretaries of the genius sent out^ to calm the
assembly on account of his late arrival ^ ; perhaps, also,
if I rightly judge the much-enduring virtuoso^ to ward
off the boisterous ovations in store for him.^ The in-
habitants of dangerously-situated Alpine villages erect
stone waUs as a security against avalanches ; the mass
of snow is broken by them and falls powerless on either
side.

There was a universal disappointment ; the chorus of
youths was hushed with difficulty, the* gilt-illumined
ode was laid aside, the secretary was surroimded, and
by way of ^ reward for his good news that his master
was following,® he was made much of.^ The commotion
was so great that no one noticed the entrance of a slen-
der young man, with lank arms and long yellow hair,
who had been peeled out of a magnificent sable great-
coat in the reception-room by a servant. But he did not
escape the eagle eye of our patroness.

" Mein Gott, Liszt ! " she exclaimed in ^ [a] broken
voice, and then she sank into the arms of two robust alto
singers, who, always on the alert for ^ such unaccount-
able tricks of destiny, were ever at ^^ her side. There was
a sympathetic movement among the guests, only the one
most nearly concerned, the Geheimrat, retaining a pos-

ture of stoic composure. The master of tone also did
not seem quite inexperienced in the treatment of such
misadventures. He rapidly approached the invalid,^
seized the right hand of the lady overcome by the inten-
sity of her feelings,^ ordered " things strengthening ^ and
refreshing," ^ like Mozart's Don Ottavio, and raised her
spirits * with marvellous speed.

So Liszt had come, but all the effects ^ arranged for
his reception had failed. But his tortured soul was not
spared the ode. He was compelled to sit down between
two ladies and listen to^ the song. Then the artistic
hostess presented the silk ribbon. It was entwined
about a fresh laurel wreath.

During this offering of gratitude ^ I had been making
some remarks of condolence^ to the secretary. Since
nightfall his liege lord had been visiting five families of
distinction.^ The Erlkonig had been wrung from him
at four places. Was ^^ the genius [to] escape the Erl-
konig here ? [From] out of the music-room the concert-
grand loomed forth majestically like the heavy cannons

sophic resignation ^ rare in one ^ of his yeara. He es-
caped^ [from] tea, [it] probably having^ been urged
upon him five times already. The whole company was
intoxicated by the charm of his manner. More than
twenty album-leaves had been clandestinely introduced*
by the ladies, and he wrote his name on ^ each without
[a] groan. I feared in secret that one of the fair De-
lilas might stealthily draw a pair of scissors out of her
pocket and clutch the lion's mane. But the god of the
muses watched over his precious head ; he kept his locks
and his titanic strength, and he permitted himself to be
persuaded to play. Counting ® by ^ the programmes of
previous concerts, and the receipts consequent ^ upon the
high price of admission,® the magnanimous fellow^ played,
at ^^ [a] modest estimate, long enough to earn 950 thalers.

The Visit to « the Career.^

By Ebnst Eckstein.

The clock struck two. The Director of the Gymnar
sium,® Dr. Samuel Heinzerling, entered the school-court
with all his own peculiar dignity, and slowly ascended
the stairs.

Upon the steps he met Mr. Quaddler, the pedell ^ of
the school, who had just rung the bell.

" Hath anything happened, ^^^ Quadlaw ? " asked the
principal, acknowledging the humble salutation of his
vassal with a lordly bend of his head.

" No, sir,i^ nothing."

" The pupil Wumpf hath been abthent faw ^^ theveral
dayth. Go to hith wethidenthe,^ and find out, whether
he ith weally ill. I almost doubt . . . ."

" I beg your pardon, j^^ sir, but Rumpf is here. I saw

" Ah. Tho much the bettaw." j^g

Dr. Samuel Heinzerling stalked through the long cor-
ridor to the door of his class room. On this day he ar-
rived unusually early. While he was still in ^ the cor-
ridor, he heard a tremendous noise. Forty boyish voices
shouted " Bravo " and " Encore."

Samuel wrinkled his brow.

Now the roar of the chorus ceased, and a clear, pene-
trating voice began with comical pathos :

"Well,^ faw thith time we will let it path, j^ It
ith vewy evident you have come to clath unprepared. I
am vewy much dithatified with you. Thit down!"
Thundering applause.

The director stood as if turned to stone.*

By all the gods of Greece, it was his voice, his man-
ner, his very living self ! ^^^ A little caricatured, per-
haps — but still, so strikingly like, that only a connois-
seur could have detected the difference. Such sacrilege
had never before been known ^ in the school. A pupil
dared, from the sacred heights of his own professorial
chair, to ridicule him I JKw, the author of " The Latin
Grammar for use in schools,^ with special reference to ^
the higher classes." JJm, the renowned pedagogue and
disciple of Kant! Proh pudor !^ This was a prank such
as none but® the soul of the arch-rogue Wilhelm Rumpf
could invent.

" Will you go on ^ tranthlating, Mowicke," the voice
of the mischievous pupil continued. "What, you are

age thay that they are indithpothed it maketh an unf a-
vowable impwethion. Knebel, put down ^ in the clath-
book: 'Mowicke, being called upon to tranthlate, wath

No longer could the Principal master his indignation.

With a sudden jerk he opened the door and appeared
among his startled pupils, like a lion among a herd of
gazelles.

It was indeed Wilhelm Rumpf, the greatest good-for-
nothing in the class, who had committed the unpardon-
able offence against the majesty of his person. His col-
lar drawn high in front,* a huge pair of paper specta-
cles ^ on his nose, a book in his left hand, the traditional
leadpencil in his right, there ^ he stood upon the plat-
form, just about j4g to continue the comedy when the in-
dignant Principal appeared upon ^ the threshold.

"Wumpf," said Samuel with composure, "Wumpf!

"Cold! When I wath in hith age I nevah had a

appeared with Quaddler in the gloom of the corridor.

"What did you do,^ Mr. Rumpf?" asked the pedell^
as they ascended the stairs.

"And you have actually done this in his presence?

all in good time ^qq That was not at all fitting j^i and
the Principal had very good reason to be extremely
angry."

" I must beg you to leave off this joking now. It is

" Just ^ you wait."

" I shall report it to the Principal."

Quaddler turned the key and shambled slowly down
the stairs. When he returned to his room he went on
with his work of papering. He dipped his brush into
the paste-pot and besmeared strip after strip of wall
paper with the fragrant liquid.

Wilhelm Rumpf, however, sat yawning on the bench,
and assured himself in a soliloquy that he was heartily
tired of the Gymnasium and of the uncalled-for re-
strictions of school life.

In the first-class room, meanwhile, Sophocles was
diligently translated. Heppenheimer accomplished his
task to the Principal's moderate "appwoval." After
him, Schwarz translated " unthatithfactowily." Then
the bell rang. — The author of the Latin grammar for
use in schools vanished into the directorial chamber,
where he sank down thoughtfully in his official chair.

" A mithewable boy, this Wumpf," he murmured to
himself.^ " But I almotht believe I could win him more
weadily by ^ kindneth than [I can] by forthe and seve-
rity. I will make one more attempt to appeal to hith
conthienthe. jg^ It ith a pity about ^ him. He ith one
of my motht gifted pupilth."

He passed his hand once or twice over his smoothly
shaven chin, i^ then he took his hat from the table and
ascended the stairs to the career.

Wilhelm Rumpf was greatly surprised when after so
short [an] imprisonment the door turned on its hinges.
His amazement reached its climax when he recognized
in the visitor the Principal, Samuel Heinzerling.

" Well, Wumpf ? " said the honorable pedagogue with
dignity.

'' What do you wish, sir ? " asked the pupil in a tone
of resolute obstinacy.

" I have come to inquire if you are not beginning to
thee that thuch childithneth ith altogether contrary * to

" I am not at all aware . . . "jgg

" What, Wumpf ? I did not expect to find you tho
thtubborn. I wish you would put^ yourthelf in^ my

with thith presumptuous Wilhelm Wumpf than I have
been."

" But, sir ..."

"Surely thuch childith condjuct ith not what one
would expect of a young man of good family. You'd
betht be on your guard, jgg for the next time I catch you
at * thuch a stupid trick I thall expel you."

" Expel me ? "

" Yeth, Wumpf, expel you. Therefore wepent and
give up your dithgratheful nonthenthe. I wepeat it,
put yourthelf in my plathe ! "

Wilhelm Rumpf bent his head. He felt that his ex-
pulsion was only a question of time. Suddenly a dia-
bolical thought darted through his brain.

" If I must get expelled," he said to himself, " it shall

He smiled like the villainous hero of a sensational
novel after a dark deed, and said in a tone of simulated
contrition :

" You say, sir, I should put myself in your place ? "

" Yeth, Wumpf, that ith what I thay."

" Well, then, if you will have it so — I wish you
much pleasure ! "

And with a single bound he was outside the door,
turned the key and left ^ the poor Principal to his unex-
pected fate.

" Wumpf, what do you mean ? j^^ I'll exthpel you
thith vewy day ! ^ Open the door at onthe ! At onthe,
Ithay!"

"I give you two hours' caweer,^^ replied Rumpf with
dignity. " You told me to put mythelf in your plathe."

" Wumpf, you will thee what will happen ! Open
the door ; I inthitht upon it ! "

"You have no wight to talk to me in that tone.
Jutht at pwethent I am the Printhipal. You are merely
the pupil Wilhelm Wumpf. Be thtill! I will not
bwook oppothition ! "

"Dear Wumpf! I will fawgive you thith onthe.
Pleathe open the door. Your penalty thall be a vewy
thlight one. You thall not be exthpelled, I promithe
you. Do you hear what I thay ? "

But the "dear Wumpf" did not hear. He had
crept • stealthily along the hall and was now hastening
downstairs to escape.

As he passed the pedelVs door, a brilliant idea took
possession of him. ^^^

He put* his eye to^ the keyhole. Quaddler was
standing upon a ladder, his back turned to ® the door,
and was just attempting to stick a heavily-pasted strip
of paper upon the wall. Wilhelm Rumpf opened the
door a little way "^ and called out with the purest Hein-
zerling accent of which he was capable j^g —

140 THE VISIT TO THE CARCER.

" I am going now, Quaddlaw. Look after that fellow
Wumpf . The lad behaveth like a lunatic. He ith thtill
keeping up hith impertinent nonthenthe. You keep
wight^ on with your work and stay on your laddaw. All
1 want to thay ith that you are not imder any conthidera-
tion to open the door faw him. The fellow ith quite
capable of j^g knocking you down and wunning away.
Do you hear what I thay, Quaddlaw ? "

" As you command, sir. You will kindly excuse me
for not getting down . . ." ^

" Thtay wight ^ where you are, I thay, and finish your
papawing. Good morning."

" Your servant,^ sir."

Wilhelm Rumpf went upstairs ^jg again, and once
more entered the precincts of the career. Samuel Hein-
zerling was raging terribly. Now he seemed to have
discovered the bell, for just as Rumpf concealed himself
behind an enormous linen chest belonging to the Quad-
dler family, it resoimded shrilly through the hall like the
yell of infuriated demons.

" Help ! " * shouted the schoolmaster. " Help ! Quad-
dlaw; you will lothe your plathe thith very day, if
you don't come up thith minute. Help ! Fire 1 Mur-
der ! Wobbers I Help I "

The pedell, reminded^ of his duty by the uninter-
rupted ringing of the beU, left his private occupation
and appeared before the door of the prison.

The malicious Wilhelm Rumpf crept deeper into his
hiding-place. Samuel Heinzerling, utterly exhausted

• erinncrn aiu

THE VISIT TO THE CARCER. 141

from caUing and crying, threw himself down upon his
seat. His chest heaved ; his nostrils worked like a pair
of good bellows.

" Mr. Rumpf," said Quaddler, knocking wamingly on
the door, " it will all be noted down ! "

" Heaven be praithed that you are here, Quaddlaw !
Open the door, I thay ! Thith mithewable thcoundwel
hath locked me in. Thuch conduct ith unheard of ! "

" Let me tell you, Mr, Rumpf , you had better stop
your joking. You may be quite sure y^^ I will tell the
Principal how you called him a miserable scoundrel ! "

" Have you lotht your wits, j^g Quaddlaw ? " shouted
Samuel in a tone of supreme indignation. *' The devil ! ^
I tell you that Wumpf , the mitherable fellow, hath locked
me in here when I came to thee him and make an appeal
to hith conthcienthe. I thay, don't keep ^ me waiting !
Open the door at onthe ! "

" You must take me for a simpleton, j^g Mr. Rumpf.
The Principal has only ^ this moment spoken to me, and
strictly forbidden me, on no condition whatever, to let
you out. And now I advise you to behave yourself and
stop ringing that bell, else I'll take it down."

" Quaddlaw, I'll have you thent to gaol for* depwiv-
ing me of my fweedom."

"Now just you listen to me, will you? It's posi-
tively childish this everlasting imitating of the Principal.
It is true, the Principal lisps a bit, and pronounces his
r*8 in a funny way, but never so long as I have known
him, has he been guilty ^ of such a silly twaddle as you

are indulging^ in. And now, for the last time, I tell
you, be quiet, and conduct yourself in a proper manner."

" But I wepeat to you, upon [my] honor, that con-
foimded scoundwel turned the key behind me, before I
knew what he wath about.^ Quaddlaw ! Idiot, ass !
You must know me ! "

" What ? You call me an ass ? You call me an idiot ?
It is a question j^^ who is the greater ass or the greater
idiot, you or I ! The impudence ! A green boy like
you calling an honest old man an ass I You are an ass
yourself! Do you understand? But you'll get your
deserts ! " ^^g

" You are an ass and a fool ! " moaned Heinzerling in
despair. " So you wefuse to open the door?"

« I shall not think of such a thing." j^g

" Good, vewy good ! " groaned the schoolmaster in '
[a] dying voice. " Vewy good ! I'll stay here in the
caweer^ then ! Do you hear, Quaddlaw ? Here in the
cawcer!^^

*' I shall be glad to hear if you come to your senses.jg^
And now leave me in peace. I have no more time to
listen to your farce."

" Quaddlaw," cried Samuel, getting enraged once more,
"hour by hour* I'll thit here, do you understand?
Hour by hour. Like a naughty thchoolboy I'll bear the
dithgwace [of it]! Do you hear me, Quaddlaw?"

" I'm going now. You'd better do your trans-
lation."i8i

''Holy heaventh, I'm lothing my weasonl Am I

"You don't catch me. 132 I haven't forgotten how
you blew in my eyes the other day ! "

''Well then, go to the devil. The godth them-
thelveth would fight ^ in vain with a blockhead. Just^
wait till I come out [of thith] . You won't have thith
plathe of pedell much longer, I'll promithe you that ! "

Quaddler went downstairs in a very ill humor. This
lad Rumpf was surely the most impertinent fellow he
had ever come across. An ass did he call him? Thun-
der and lightning ! ^ Ever since the decease of Mrs.
Quaddler the like had not happened jgg to him • . .

These miserable schoolboys !

Meanwhile Samuel Heinzerling paced up and down
his cell with long steps. His whole appearance reminded
one of an African lion condemned to imprisonment by
human cruelty without losing thereby any of the origi-
nal pride and strength of his noble nature. His hands
crossed on his back, his head with its grey mane in-
clined woefully toward his right shoulder, his lips tightly
shut — so he walked back and f orth,^ back and forth,
the darkest and most misanthropic thoughts in his bosom.

Suddenly a broad smile ^ flitted ^ across his features.

" Most abthurd thith ith ! " he muttered to himself.
"Weally, though thith ith a vewy disagweeable affair
for me, there ith no denying '^ the humor of the thitu-
ation . . ."

He stood still.

" Ith there weally any dithgwace in being outwitted
by a thchoolboy? Conthider, Thamuel! Did not a
thelebrated king with hith own hand hold the ladder
f aw the thief who wanted to thteal hith watch ? Wath

thtill hithtory treath thith king with rethpect. And
thtill Bithmarck hath lotht none of hith weputation ath

Your dignity ath thchoolmathter, ath thitizen, ath phi-
lothopher, does not thuffer by thith mortifying thitua-
tion. Retht assured, Thamuel . . ."

He continued his walk in a self-satisfied mood. But
soon he interrupted himself anew.

"But thothe boyth," he stammered turning pale.
" When thothe boyth hear that I wath impwithoned ^ in
the cawcer ! Fearful thought ! My authority ath [a]
teacher will be gone forever. And they will hear it.
I am once for all 194 disgraced. Ye godth, ye godth,
why do ye thmite me thus ? "

" Herr Direktor," whispered a familiar voice at ^ the
door of the cell, ''you are not yet dishonored. Your
authority is as unassailable as ever . . ."

" Wumpf ! " stammered Samuel, " you godleth fellow !
Open that door, I thay, thith minute ! Conthider your
ears boxed ! jgg Conthider yourthelf expelled ! "

" But, sir, I have come to save you ! Do not insult

" Will you listen to me quietly, sir ? I assure you

Samuel considered.

" I only wanted to show you that my art is not quite
without practical import. Forgive me if I have seem-
ingly forgotten the very high esteem and respect I owe

*' You are a wogue, Wumpf ! "

"Suppose you excuse me from the career penalty,
withdraw your threat regarding ^ expulsion, and permit
me to keep the strictest silence about what has passed." ^

" It will not do, 186 Wumpf. You mutht finish your

" Yes ? Well then, good-bye to you, sir. Don't ring

"Wumpf! hear what I thay to you. Wumpf!"

"Well.. .!"

" Will you excuse me from the career penalty ? "

" Yeth ! "

"Presently, sir! You are sure you bear me no

" No, no, no I Will you open that door ? "

" You give 2 me full absolution ? "

" Yeth, on ^ (the) condition that you tell nobody of
your guilty conduct. I have told you that I take you
to be 191 an extwaawdinawy lad, Wumpf . . ."

"I thank you for your good opinion. My word of
honor then that so long as you are in your present
position at* the gymnasium, no word shall pass my
Ups ! "

With that ^ he turned the key and opened the door.

Like Uhland's king out of the tower so Samuel Hein-
zerling stepped out into the free air of heaven. He took ®
a deep breath; then passing his right hand over his
forehead as if trying to remember something, he said :

" Wumpf, I can take a joke 192 ath well ath any man ;
but I wish you would do me the favor not to mimic me
in future. You weally do ^ it too well."

" Your wish is my law." ®

" Vewy good ! I'll go with you."

They quickly walked downstairs.

" Quaddlaw ! " called the Principal into the basement.

The pedell appeared at once and officiously asked
what was his behest.

" I have wemitted Wumpf s penalty f aw ^ thevewal
weasons," said Samuel.

" Ah ! that is what ^ you came back [for]. Hm ! . . .
All I wish to say is that Mr. Rumpf was not at all quiet
in his cell. It's none of my business, 152 I suppose, but
he shouted and swore like a Turk . . ."

"Well, never mind, 193 Quaddlaw; I have thpecial
motiveth faw dealing leniently with him thith time.
You may wemove the key to the caxocer^

Quaddler shook his head in astonishment.

" And now come with me, Wumpf."

They walked along the corridor to the class-room.
The Principal knocked.

"Excuse me, dear colleague," he whispered, as he
entered, " I have brought Wumpf back. Knebel, write
in the clath-book, that in conthequenthe of Wumpf s
thinthere wepentanthe I have been moved to wemit hith
punithment."

He spoke and vanished among ^ the labyrinthian pas-
sages of the school building.

1. Dear Aunt: —

To-day our teacher notified us in our German recita-
tion that his class would take part in the international
correspondence for students. ^ Through the mediation
of 2 Professor M. Hartmann in Leipzig, German stu-
dents ^ receive the addresses of American students. The
German student writes first to* her American corre-
spondent ^ a German letter, the American answers with
an English letter. Then they write to each other at
least once a month: the German in the English
language, the American in the German language. A
careful correction of the foreign ® letter accompanies the
answer. Such letters are counted as exercises in Ger-
man composition. '^

Now I should like to ask you, ® dear aunt, to give me
some advice ^^ in regard to the composition ^ of a Ger-
man letter. What shall I write and how shall I write
it? I know that it is not easy to write a real German
letter. You have lived- in Germany for years ^^ and
therefore will best be able to advise me. I shall be
much obliged to you j^g for your trouble.

With best love ^^ to my uncle and ^ cousins and an
affectionate embrace for youi'self , I remain your loving ^
niece.

2. My deak Niecb : —

It gives me great pleasure jg^ to hear that you are
permitted to take part in the international correspon-
dence for students. I am sure that it will greatly in-
crease your interest in ^ the study of German as well as
your knowledge of the German language. But above
all it will enlarge your comprehension of the difference
between the real living German and that which has
been painfully * put together out of the dictionary.

I am very willing jgg to give you the desired advice.
First as regards the contents of the letters, ^^ I ad-
vise you to introduce yourself 200 in the first letter, to
make statements about ^ your age, your family, your
school, and to fix the dates for (the) mailing^ the
letters.

In the subsequent letters the following subjects
might ^ be discussed : Your native place and its envir-
onments, the school (college) to ^ which you go, the
plan of study of the institution, the branches of study
you have elected, your favorite studies, the examina-
tions, your plans for the future. You might give descrip-
tions of vacation-trips, of large cities and mountains of
the country, its factories, its industries, etc. Alwaj^ put^
some questions to your correspondent about her experi-
ences, about good books, magazines, products of art, etc.

150 LETTERS.

Send her a " calendar " ^ of your school, now and then a
picture postal card,^ an article from a newspaper, which
has interested 3'^ou very much, a photograph, etc.

In regard to the form of the letters, I wish to draw
your attention^ to^ the following [points]. Write
very distinctly. Your correspondent can read Latin
script as well as German, but the way ^ in which the
American forms the letters, seems strange^ for the
German. Address your correspondent in the first
letters with „@ee^rte^ or Stebe^ ^duletn SRtd^ter!" and
place an exclamation point after the address. Use the
second person plural (©te, S^ter, S^nen, @te) and do not
forget to write these words with capitals. After you
know each other better use the Christian name"^ and
write " Dear Louise " or what ® the name may be. Pos-
sibly ^ your German correspondent will suggest that you
call each other " thou." ^^ Gladly accept this offer, for
it would be very impolite to refuse it. Moreover it
will be very good for your German grammar, because it
will make you familiar with different forms of the verb.
When you write the address on the envelope, write the
name of the street under the place of destination, viz.

LETTERS. 151

The ^^ behind the figure 12 means second ^ta'ge^
(third story) or "two flights up." German families gene-
rally live in apartment houses.^ Put^ a five-cent stamp
on* the letter and do not forget that you can send only
half an ounce for five cents. But do not attempt to
save postage by using ^ the very thin paper which is often
sold for foreign ^ correspondence. For on this paper the
letters all run into each other and it is often impossible
to read the words. Either shorten your letter or double
the postage. Books and papers go for the same postage
from New York to Berlin^ as from New York to Boston.

In writing your own address do not use abbreviations,
and write very distinctly. When you have received
and read an English letter from your German corre-
spondent, make a careful correction on a separate "^ sheet
of paper. Indicate, if you can, the reasons, why it is
this way ^ and not that way. ® You will find out how
little you know of your own mother-tongue. You ought
to take^ an exact copy of every German letter you
send, so that you will be able to understand the correc-
tions that your correspondent will send you.

The best [thing] you can do as [a] preparation for
this correspondence is to write letters of different con-
tents and form for ^^ practice. Enclosed ^^ I send you
samples of German letters, several English letters for
translation ^2 j^^ ^q German and a number [of] subjects

for German lettei-s. As soon as you have finished the
letters, send them to me. I shall gladly correct them.

WORD-ORDER.

1. POSITION OF THE VERB.

There are three types of word-order according to tlie
position of the verb.

I. The normal order : the finite Yerh^ follows the subject.

Sd^ i(f^ttiht ben 33rief,

I write the letter.

Sd^ f^aht ben 35rief gefc^rieben.

I have the letter written.

U. The inverted order: the finite verb precedes the
subject.

§eute ffi^iretfie id^ ben 33rief.

To-day write I the letter.

©eftern f^aht \i) ben 33rief gefd^rieben.

Yesterday have I the letter written.

///. The dependent or transposed order : the finite verb
stands at the end of the clause.

3d^ loiinfd^e, ba^ bu ben 33rtef ^d^ttihfi,

I wish that you the letter write.

3d^ l^offe, ba^ bu ben 33rief gefd^rteben f^aft.

1 hope that you the letter written have.

General Principle : 7^e more important elements of
the sentence tend to mass themselves at the end of
the sentence.

The most important word occupies the last place, it
is preceded by the next important word and so on.

^ Finite verb or personal verb or inflected part of a verb.

1. The finite verb follows the subject.

2. The non-finite part of a verb
(past participle, infinitive, separable-
prefix) stands at the end of the claase.

3. The separable prefix stands before
the past participle, the participle before
the infinitive.

4. In a clause containing two or three
infinitives' the one governing the others
stands last

5. Infinitives are preceded by their
modifiers.

1 The subject with all its modifiers : gfiirft 9ii9marf, ber erfle
beutfd^e 9leid^«fan)Ier unb ber bebeutenbfle !S)ipIontat (Suropa9; ftarh im

^ Non-finite verb or non-personal verb or uninfiected part of a
verb, i.e. the infinitive or participle of a compound tense or a "sep-
arable prefix."

' If one of the ** infinitives ** is a modal auxiliary it stands last.
The past participle has in such cases the form of an infinitive.

(a) in independent declarative sentences.
(6) in interrogative sentences which begin with a
subject pronoun.

7. The finite verb precedes the subject.

8. In all other respects the arrange-

ment is the same as in the normal order.

The inverted order occurs :

9. in independent interrogative sentences, except such as
begin with a subject-pronoun : giefi bet Snabe bie ©efc^id^te?
does the boy read the story 9

^ For the sake of emphasis a word may be placed at the head of
the sentence. Emphasis is reached in German by position, in
English it depends largely on intonation.

182

WORD-ORDER.

10. in imperative sentences^: Sefen ©ie bie ©efd^id^te!
read the story ! Kauf en h)ir cin S5ud^, let us buy a hook,

11. in optative or conditional sentences when the conjunc-
tion mtnUf if^ is omitted : SBare id^ bod^ in 6uroj)a getoefen, if
I hod only been in Europe; but: SBcnn id^ bod^ in @uvo^a
gelDefen iDcire; see p. 184, note 2.

12. often in exclamatory sentences : SBie 6Iiil^en bie SIus

13. when the independent sentence begins with an adverb,
an adverbial conjunction or any other word or words than
the subject.

He writes me often.
Often he writes me.

(Never: er oft fd^reibt mir, or, oft et fd^reiW mir).

SOME SPECIAL POINTS OF DIFFICULTY IN
GERMAN COMPOSITION.

67. The English present participle must frequently be
translated into German by the help of a conjunction or a
relative pronoun and & finite verb.

68. To express an adverbial relation of time, cause or
manner an adverbial clause is used, introduced by one of
the following conjunctions : al9, when; tiail^beitt, after; xnhtm,
while^ whilst^ since; to&l^reitbr while ^ whilst; f obalb a\9f as soon
