TEE STORY OF THE THREE WON-
DERFDL COMPANIONS.

mow osri! A w-kix.)
Titr.itr. was once it khg, who wa.
very old nml had only one son. Out
In v ho called Ms son and said :
. My dear son, thou knowest that Hoc
fi nit fulls In order to iiiiikerno'i forother.
My heatlisgrowlrgrli o'day by day.and
perhaps ere long the sun will shinooi
11 no more; hut bi'forf ' dlo I would
l.ul'y liehnld my futtirf dmirthter, thy
wife. Take to tliyself a wife myon."
Am! Hip prince answered!
'tlludly, O, my father 1 would I ful-
llll thy wl-h, but I have as yet no bride.
I know not one."
The king then thitist his hand in'n
I'is pocket, and tlrew therefrom n gold
en key, which lie fcavo to his nun, say
ing: " Go up Into the highest room In the
tower.nnd when thou art thjre.cast thy
"yes around thco ami tell mo which of
tho brides which thou slialt there .ee
pleases thco most."
The prince departed immediately.
He had never before been In the tower,
and knew not what was there to be
seen.
When ho had reached tho highest
chamber but one, ho beheld on tho cel
ling n small Iron duor liko a lid, nml it
was locked ; hut he unlocked it with
the golden key, lifted it tip, nnd went
in through it.
There was n largo round room, the
roof of which was as blue as the bky on
n clear Winter's night, and slh'er stars
glittered upon it. The lloor was cov
ered with a green silken carnet. nml
the room bail twelve high windows in
golden frame-work ; In each window a
virgin was painted on crystal glass in
tho loveliest rainbow colors, with a rov-
nl crown on her head, and in each win
dow was also another upon n tlitfercnt
ground, but each wns more beautiful
than tho other, so that tho prlnco was
quite dazzled. And as ho was gazing
on them in full astonishment, not know
ing which to choose, tho lovely figures
began to move liko living beings, and
looked toward lilm and smiled upon
him as If they wished to speak.
Then tho prlnco s.tw that ono of tho
windows was concealed by a white cur
tain, which hu drew aside in order to
pee what was behind it.
Then stood n virgin dressed in white,
wltli a silver girdle round her wai-t and
a crown of pearls upon her head. She
was tho loveliest of all, but sad and
pale ns if plio had risen from tlio grave.
The prime stood long gazing on tlio
IlgJie, and seemed llkeone in a dteam,
and white lie was thus looking at her
Ills Heart was .-orely grieved, and he
-aid, "llcralune will 1 choose, ai.d no
other." And as soon as lie had spoken
i huso words tlio virgin bent her head,
.md a red hue liko tli.tt ol a ruse spread
over her checks, Al the same ihhiih ui
ml tin-olln-r ti,uiip Minitl.ed.
Alter he had leit the tower and re
turned lo the king, Ins lather, lie lolu
nun ail tiiai ho nail seen, and which o,
ihu virgins iio had cho.-cn. Tin u the
o.tl king was Illicit with sorrow, but in
a miimi nt ho raised las head and said :
' l'liou titt.it chosen ill, my son, ami
done wiong in uncovering thai which
was concealed. Thou wilt also unci
with grout dangers for the words ilinu
bust spoken, 'this virgin is in the pow
er of a wicked m.igiciuu, Imprisoned
within an lion castle, and none ol tlio-e
who have gone lo set iier lieu havoevei
returned to their homes again,"
The prince now departed from the
king, his father, ami rodo lortli toward
the iron castle that he might obtain his
bride. When ho had got a long wa
on ids Journey he came to a deiio wood
ami rode into it mull at length lie lost
his way. And as lie was wandering
through tlio wood and amongst rocks,
not knowing which way to turn, hu
heard u voice behind him shout :
"Halloa, there! etop!"
Tho priuco turmd round and beheld
u verj tall man who was hastening to
il aril lilm.
"Wait and tnko mo with you," mid
tho voice, "If you take me into your
rervlce you will never have cause lo ie
pent it."
" Who art thou'."' cried the prlnco j
"and what can'st thou do V"
"I am called i.oiigljody and canatretch
out my limbs to a great length. Do
you beo tlio bird's nut yonder at tlm
top of that high llr-tree'.. 1 can reach
it down for you without having to
climb the tree."
And thereupon he began titrctchlng
lilmselr out, anil his body rapidly grew
lunger and longer, till he was as high
as tho treoltM'lf. Then ho reached forth
his hand to take the nest, ami when he
had taken It his body uhruiik in again,
and hu handed tho nest to tlio prince.
"Thou uiiderstnuilcbt thy bu.iness
well," slid thu priuco; "but what Is
thu u -ii of birds' nests to me, if thou
canst not help mu out of Iho forest?"
"Hem! that is easy enough ! replied
Lougbody, ami ho stretched himself
again till he was three times as tall as
the tallest tree in tho forest. Ho then
looked around anil, pointing in ii certain
direction, bald, "From yonder side is
the nearest road out of the wood."
Then he tlrew himself in again, took
tlm horse) by the bridle, and ueut on In
front, lleforo the prlnco had time to
nbsi rvo it they had already leit the fin
est behind them. Ileloio them lay a
great plain hacked by high gray rock
like Hit- nails of a large town, and
mountains covered with forests.
"Yonder goes my companion," said
I.ongbody, pointing to tho further end
of thu plain, "You ought to lake lilm
with you, too, for he could rentier you
great services,"
"Villi lilm hither, that I may nee
what there Is In lilm."
"It is rather n long way off, master,"
answered Loiigliody. "Ho would hard
ly hear mu If I wore to call lilm; be
sides, it would take him n long tlino to
reach in, for hu has much to carry with
him. 1 would rather go and fetch lilm."
Then liOiigbOkly lengthened kiuisetf

ed as fur ns tho clouds, made ono or two
steps, seized his coinnido by tho arm,
nun pincctl lilm before tlio prince. He
was n laigo muscular fellow, with an
immense belly.
"Who nrt thou?" nsked tho prince;
"ami what enn-t thou do?"
"Master, I am eniled Ilroadbodyjnnd
can swell mytelf out toagrent breadth."
"Det me see," said tho prince, "w hat
you can cio."
"Hide with 'all speed Into tho forest,"
returned Ilroatlbndy : and Immediately
bc-pati to Hit el I out Ids body.
The prince was puziled lo know why
lie should ride uttny mi quickly; bill
when he saw I.ongbody running with
all his might toward the forest, ho spurr
ed on his horse, and hurried after him.
And lucky it was for lilm that ho Aid
so, or llroadbody would soon have
crushed him nml his horse to dentil ; for
lie Increased mi raphlly on nil sides, that
the whole place was soon filled wit!:
lilm, as If it mountain had j-olled down
upon them. Then he slopped swelling
himself, nnd blew out tho air with such
tremendous force that ho made the for
est shake, nnd appeared again ns be
fore. Thou liasl driven mo Into a sad
plight," said tho prince; "but such a
fellow as thou art is not to be found
every day, ho comu along with me."
1 hey proceeded further on their wav:
and as they were approaching the rock,
tney met ono who had Iiis eyes bound
with n cloth.
"Master! that is our other compan
ion," said I.ongbody, "You ought to
take him into your service, for surely
he will not eat h's bread for nothing,"
"Who nrt tliouV" demanded tho
prlnco; "and why hast thou thy eyes
bound in that fashion? Surely thou
canst not see thy way."
Oh, sli! quite thu contrary," replied
he, "ll is just becau-e I sco'oocle.irlv
lull have my eyes bound.for u ilh them
bound I can seu as well as you can with
yours free. If 1 take a nay tlio cloth,
ny sight penetrates through the thick
est subslancu; and if I look rather hard
at any thing it cither takes lire, or flic
Into n thousand pieces. Tor which rea
son I am called Keeneye."
He then turned himself towards the
rocks that sto.nl opposite them, removed
thu bandage, nnd llxed his fiery eyes
steadily upyn them. Presently tlio hard
rocks began to crackle, tlio pieces flew
in nil directions, anil In a few tnlnutiR
nothing was leit of tho rocks but a heap
of sand. Then they saw in tho midst ot
the sand something shining liko fire.
Keeneye fotchnl it, and presented It to
thu prince, who on beholding it fonntl
that it' was a lump of pure gold.
'Truly, thou art n valuablu fellow,"
said the prince, "hu is n fool who
would not make iw of thy service. Hut
ince tltoii ha-t stuii an excellent eve,
Jn-t look and tell me how far wo me
I'lom the Iron I a-tlc, and what Is going
on within it at this liniment."
"If you rodealone, maMer," answer-
tl Keeneye,"y. u would notarrlvethere
in a year, lint with our lielpyoti will be
there before the day is over. They are
at this moment preparing tho evening
meal for tis,"
"And what Is my bride doing I"
"She Is Hitting alone
In the cloomv tower
Cruelly bound
llr magic power."
Then said the prince : "Let him who
U my friend help nn tn set her free."
And (hey nil thrre promised to give
lilm their help. So they Jnrneyed on
through an opening between the rocks,
which Keeneye hnd madowlth hlseyc.
r.r away overhigh hills and through
dark forests ; and whenever nny hin
drance come in their way, tho three
companion onn removed them.
As the sun was going down, tho hill-
grew -mailer, the forests thinner, the
rocks were hid beneath the brown
mountain heather, nnd the castle was
seen a short dlotanco before tliem. Hut
as tho sun was leaving tho earth, they
crossed tho Iron bridge Hint led to the
old castle-gate ; and when It was quite
set, the iron bridge rai-ed ltelf, the
tto closed, nnd tho prince, witli his
three companion, stood prisoners with
in the Iron Castle.
The prince then gave his horse to be
led into tho stable. Kverythlng was
preparetl for litem ; so, after they had
si en round Hip courtyard, they enter

they saw by the twilight many people
In rich attire, both men and women ;
hut not one of them moved -they were
all turned to stone.
Tho prince and Ills companions, after
wandering through ninny apartments',
came nt length to tho banquet-hall. It
was brilliantly lighted, and In tlio mid
dle stood n table covered with n pro-
fulon of rich vlnndi, and laid out for
four persons. They waited u long time
thinking some one would come; but
llndlng that nobody appeared, they sat
down nnd began to eat nnd drink till
they were filled. When they had fin
ished their lnenl they looked about lo
see If they could -not find somu plnco
where they might sleep. As they were
thus occupied tho door suddenly flew
open nnd thu magician walked Into Iho
loom, Hu was nu old man ilrcscd In it
loin, black rbe, and bowed down by
years. His head was bald, but his gray
beard flowed down t the knees, und in-
lead of a glrdto three Iron rings inr
CO iron Tings till-
rounded his body. He led hy tho hand
i most lovely princess clothed In while.
Around her waNt -he warasllverglrdle,
ind upon head a crown of pearls; but
she was pule and -a.l, as if shehad rl-en
inmi the grave. The priuco knew her
again in ti moment, sprang up, wild
wem toward her; but ere hu could speak,
thu magician adilre.--ed lilm tu thc-.o
words; "I know why thou art come
nithcr ; thy Intention Is to hear away
this prlnccps. tiiiud, Hu it so! It is
permitted thee to claim, after thou uist
guarded for for thiee nights together
without allowing her to escape. If thou
fullest, thou and thy three attendants
will bu turned Into stono, liko nil those
wholmvoHintlotheattempt before tlice."
Ho then led the princess to a seat, and
withdrew.
Too prince "ould not turn hli oyes
uwy from her, Jiu wtii so very lovely.
He began to spenkjolier, and to nil;
her many things; but slionnswcred not,
nor did she even hhiIIo or look upon
mm, nut remained llkon innrbleHtntuo.
I to sat down hy her side, nml resolved
hero to sleep during tho wholo of the
night, so that she might not escnpe.

lay all round tho room. Hroatlbody
placed hlnnolf within tho doorway,
swelled out his body nnd stopped the
way so completely, that oven n mouse
could not got through. And Keeneye

wlille, however, nil thico growing
weary fell asleep, ainl slept the whole
night as soundly ns If they hnd been at
Iho bottom of tho ocean.
When tho morning twilight began to
dawn, the prlnco nwoko, nnd when he
saw thnt tlio princess had disappeared
no seemed as If ho had been .struck in
the henb with a knife. Ho lost no time
in nronslng the threo companion?, nnd
nsked What w.is to bo done,
"Do not be In the least trouble, mas

the window, "for I see her nl ready. A

And as the sun began loshnwhlin-el

Tho next day as the prince had noth

and nil around it, to seu everything thai
was mn-t remarkable there. On nil
sides it appeared ns if life iind been
stopped at one blow. In one of tho hull

a sword over hi-head. Ho seemed on
the point of cutting some quo Into piec

hu could finish hi stroke. In ono room
was a knight who appeared, ivhilst fly
ing with outstretched arms toward
-omo one, to havo stumble. 1 against the
thro-bold of the door, andiWaa falling,
but had been turned Into 'stono before
he reached tho earth. In another room
he beheld n man servant silling before
the firo-phico witli a picco of meat In
one hand and another piece in tho other,
which lie wns raising to his mouth ; but
had not brought It -o far eru ho had be
come a mass ol Iffcltss stone, And mnn
.titers ho saw in tho samo petrified
state, each in the position in which he
was when tho magician uttered the
words" Hecomo stone."
Hu a No saw many beautiful hfirses,
both Inside and otit sldothucasfle, which
had shared tho sumo fate. Death nnd
gloom were on all sides. There were
trees, but they had no leaves on them ;
meadows without grass; nnd a rivor In
which water did not flow. Not a bird
was to bo seen that could sing; not a
flower tint could bloom ; notntlsh that
could swim in the water.
At morning, noon, and evening tin
prince ami his threo companions found
a sumptuous meal ready for them. An
unseen power served up the viands and
poured tho wlnu into their glasses, so
that they hud nothing to do but to eat
and drink.
Scarcely was tlio evening meal over
before thedoor opened and the magician
again appeared, leading the princess
who was tn beguanled a seiond nigh
by the pi luce. Now, although they had
all llrmly made up their minds to wltl
stand thu iiiflutme of s!et p llils nigh
yet It was of no u-o, rr they soon iell
into a sound slei p. Ami i hi n at earl
dawn thu prince awoke and lotiud the
prluuess gone again, he spuing up, ainl
-baking Keeneye by lite -linudus,
died: " 1 In, there ! bistir thysell, thou

Keeneye rubbed ills eyes n little whiiu

"I already sen her I Two hundred
miles from here staiulp a hill; within
that hill is a ink; within that roik is
a prccloussinnc, and that precious stone
is the fair princess, If Longbody will
carry me on his shoulders, wo shall soon
recover her."
I.ongbody then tool: hi- comrade on
Ills shoulder, lengthened hlnisfif out,
nnd departed from the castle, K.ich
stun ho made measured twenty miles!
When they "arrived within sight of thu
hill, Keoneye llxed bin fiery eyes upon
It. and immediately it began to crumble,
and tliu rock became a burning mass, in
the midst of which thu precious atone
was seen to glitter, They took it up

looking with a Uccu glnnco into tho

the mightier of us two: whether thou
or 1 will gain the victory." Whereupon
hu left the room, nml all threo resolved
not to sleep that night, determined not

first again to discover tht dlsnppcutanco
of tho princess. He lan to hit keen
eyed companion, nnd shaking him vio
lently, cried: "Ho, Uicrr, Keeneye I
Oct up and tell mo whero tlio princes
is."
Ho of tho keen eye Blood looking for
a long time. " I sco her nt last," said
ho. "She Is a long way off, master, a
very long way off! Three hundred
nillc3 from hero la tho Hlack iklij In
the middle of that sen, lying at tho
bottom, is n mussel ; lu the Iticldo of
tlmt miB-el is n golden ring, nnd thai
ring is the princess. Do not be troubled,
master, for we shnll get her yet. Hut
we shall hnveto tnko llroadbody with
us this time, for we shall want lilm."
Longbody then taking Keenuyo on
one shoulder, nnd Uroadbody on the
ither, started on his wny. Each step
ho took men-lured thirty miles!
hen they had come to tho Black
Sea, Kccneyo showed his companions
what part of tho sea tho mussel was to
bo found in. Longbody stretched out
his hand iw fur ns ho was able, but could
not reach" tho bottom.
"Stop, comrades, stop a little!" ex
claimed llroadbody, "nnd let mo help
you." 'When ho had spoken these
words, ho began swelling himself out
ts fur ns he could; he then laid him
down on thu shore nnd began to drink.
As ho drank tho water fell, until at
length it win low enough to allow Long-
tody to reach the bottom with ease, and
to bring up tho ring.
Then hu bade his com pan ions got upon
its shoulders ngaln, so that they might
lose no tlino in returning. Hut on tho
way he found it impo-siblo to run fast
iiough, for llroadbody, who had drunk
ip half tho sea, hnd grown eo much
leavier. So when they ;nrrived at a
alley he shook his companion oil', w ho,
. failing to the p-en; d, un.do r. '.i

. sack falling from a high toner. In n
ew minutes the wlmlv valley was fil td
.villi water, and resembled n large hike,
llroadbody could hardly crawl nut of It.
Meanwhile in the castlo. the prime
was growing very uneasy. Tho rosy
'Horn vvasjnlrendy rising from behind
lie hills, and his attendonts were not
yet back. As the morning grew bright
er Ids fear grew stronger, and a cold
sweat covered his brow. Soon tho eun
was visible in tho east, like n thin streak
of llro inn moment tho door flew open,
nnd tho magician nppcared in tho door
way, nml cast his oyes slowly round the
room. AVhon he saw that the princess
was not there, n grin of malicious do
light spread over Ills face, and ho cam
forward into tho middle- of the room,
but before ho could utter a word the
window wns smashed Into n thousand
pieces, the ring fell on the ground, and
behold! tho prlnc. stood again before
them.
For Keeneye, when ho uw what was
going on In tho castle, told Iongbody
what great danger his master stood in.
Longbody then made ono rapid step.
and stretching forth his arm, throw the
ring through tho window Into the room.
Th magician ronrfid with nngcr so that
tlio castle trembled. In nu Instant ths
third ring snapped asundor and fell to
th') grnund,'nud nt tho same momcat
tho magician wns transformed into a
raven and flew away through tho brok
en window.
Then tho bcnutlfnl princess began to
speak, and as ho thanked tho prince
for her freedom, a soft blush, liko that
upon a rose, sprend over her checks.
Everything In all parts of the caBtle
was filled with life. He who held the
raised sword in his hand struck one
blow through tho nlrso that it whistled,
and then returned tho weapon to Its
sheath. Tho knight who appeared fall
ing, fell to tho ground, but In an Instant
iprangjto his feet ngain.and put his hand
tohNnoseto see If it were still wholo and
safe. Tho servant before the fire place,
put the piece of meat in his mouth, and
went on eating, and in the same way
ench ono fini-hed that which he was
about to do beforo tho words of the ma
gician struck them into stone. In tho
stables tho horses stamped and neighed
right lustily. Thu trees about tho cm
do put forth their leu ves liko evergreens,
til meadows became covered witli va
ried flowers, the larks trilled aloft In
ihe air, and hosts of fish wi re swim

"You ought not toth.uiK me; fori. my
faithful compinlons had not Wii with
me, I should, ere now, Irivv been what

The prince now began to think of r.'
turning lo hlsatherV p-ilnce with his
bride and faithful citmpitntuus. They
all. started out, and on their way met
llroadbody, whom they took withtheui.
The old king wept for Joy nt the good
fortune of his son. lie had alroudy
given up nil hope of over seeing him
again.
Threo weeks after this the hsppj
