THE SCRAIJTON TRIBUNE WEDNESDAY MOUNIKO, DECEMBER 9, 1896.

Richard Burgdorf, a young German nrt
Ift. whose, nickname is "I'rince L'hurdo.
and his friend. Kluiio, a literary student.
In th course of their "Wundetjuhr
throught Liermnny, have reached the end
of their resources, and tlnd themselves
weary, footsore and hungry by the wuy
slile near a German town. ltlcluird. In
whose artistic ability Klorlo hn cre.it
faith, sinks down un.l can go no further.
Klorlo best Ira himself to secure food and
a bed for his friend. After one or two re
verses he knocks at a promising looking
door. A kindly old Herman woman re
ceive him, gives him fool for himself and
Richard, un.l advises him to put on a bold
face. He roi-s through the vineyards,
makes friends with an old workman, to
whom he jestingly talks about his master,
"I'rince Chimin." The old man takes the
remark seriously, and Klorlo Is Inspired
with the idea of using his supposed mas
ter's iiaiiie us a recommendation, in the
manner of 'Tuss-ln-Hoots.'

Presently It wus Piliiro Chardo here,
I'rince I'lmrdo there, I'rince Chimin
round nil the corners, "our estates,"
and the nhenomenal size and sweet
ness of the melons, nectarines, peach
fa, Btniwlierriiis and litis grown in
those delectable lands and forwarded
in hui;e hampers when his holiness
deigned to travel in foreign parts;
I'hinre (.'hardo's castles, villus and
huiitinK-lmlges; his cattle, horses, dugs
und game; his mines, his forests; his
immense retinue and oriental pomp.
The taciturn old vintner hacked the
stubborn earth, but Flnrlu plainly
perceived he was ruminating.
"Where are his estates?"
"Hungry."
"Hungary? That's far?"
"Hungry," rejoined the youth, nlrlly,

The old man mused bitterly upon the
Iieiiunlities of life and vineyards.
"Soft ns butter'.'"
"As fresh as butter."
"What's his whole nnme?"
"Sedi't, iieternuiiKiue sedeblt "
Infellx Theseus,"
replied Klorlo, ulil.ly. without the
quiver of nn eyelash. "And that's by
mi means all of It. He's i;ot a lot
more, (ientlemen of itiallty always
have, you know. Bless you, they don't
mind how many names they Imve!"
Hy this time the vintner hud heard
I'rince I'hardo's name so frequently
reiterated that It had become an es
tablished fact which naturally proved
the authenticity of i.'lorlo's claims.
Tht man lielnngeil to that law cate
gory of individuals not exclusively
vintners who, of an illuminative and
essentially suspicotis turn of mind, will
yet believe the? most monstrous tale
if they but hear It often enough.
"He is here, your prince'.'"
"lie is on the way," Florin said,
sweetly. "You needn't say anything
about It Just yet. He prefers to travel
tiuletjy. That's why I'm not wearing
my livery. I am onlyone of the under
servants, you know. A lot of us were
sent on in advance. It matters not to
lihn how many come. He's not one
that counts noses." Klorlo started at
the sky and the earth, yawned and
swung his heels with lordly irrespon
sibility. The peasant, whose bark ached, be
trayed some envy In the dense KUttur
als of his monosyllabic response.
Unexpectedly and unwurrantly the
nmluble triller now Brew Uldalic,
began to suggest, to Instruct, to relate
how much better things were done In
I'rince C'hnrdo's noble vineyards in
fact, to meddle nnd dictate.
The vintner responded wrathfully
that he wanted none of that.
"If you really don't care about Ret
ting on" Klorlo shrugged his shoul
ders. ICyelng him disapprovingly, the old
tnan deliberutely seated himself on tne
Wound, drew a small bottle of beer
and some black bread from a basket
behind a currant bush, nnd silently
partook of his Vesper. Somewhat mol
lified, lie remarked, succinctly:
"Do three hundred vines, and you
Sweat."
Between other nppenslng draughts,
he ndded:
"Kesldes, It's not my work. I've
other jobs. I'm sixty-live years old
nnd my back's stilf. Hut my son Vin
censs has broken his arm. it's easy to
Bit on a wnll and lir.tg."
"Oh. I don't mind lending n hand
Just while you nre at your beer." re
turned the prince's million, nlTablv,
jumped from the wall, Hung off his
coat, seized a pick, nnd, being twenty
two years old, strung, supple and pus-

MORROW AND HAVE A GOOD HEST?"
erse-cl of urgent reasons for desiring to
pase, set to work in a manner that
Vineyard had never before experienced.
When the old man resumed his toil,
Florlo still continued. He was rather
tired, he said, lolling about and wait
ing for the prince. He not only worked
Iteadily and swiftly until seven o'clock,
but he told exactly the sort of safe and
creaking Joke which the vintner rel
ished, and finally declared he was wel
come to- the three hours' assistance.
It was' not worth talking about, when
one had a good-situation.
They, parted on the best of terms
after Florlo had consented to help
igaln on the morrow this time for the
isual wages. ,He sauntered off, but re
turned to ask, as a mere afterthought,
if the man could recommend quiet
lodgings not too far off. Happening
to have a cousin who, sometimes let
rooms, he wrote her name and address
It Florlo's request; "so she'll know I'm

nil right," the younft man explained,
pleasantly. "I've a mate with me," he
added, "a nice fellow, but lazy. He'd
not touch your vineyard."
"Hut you'll not full me tomorrow."
"Oh, dear, no. only one thins could
prevent. Sudden orders from Prince
Chardo. It is fair to tell you that."
The peasant nodded approval. He
hated strangers, but when you know
who is who, It is different.
That night as Klchard lay In a good
bed In a simple but clean room, Florlo,
with a chuckle, asked:
"Is your highness quite comforta
ble?" "Surprisingly." '
"Hoes I'rince Chardo want any more
to eat? There's a lot still in the bas
ket." "Oh, no, thanks. I'm full to the
brim. Why does the old schoolboy
name amuse you on a sudden so im
mensely?" Klorlo slapped his thigh and laughed
uprorlously. i
After awhile Klchard said, half sad
ly: "You must not think me a glum if I
do not always see the joke nowadays. I
used to, you know."
"And will nsuln." Florlo said, heart
ily, laughing no more. "Besides, my
Jokes are gaseous."
"He is fo awfully fastidious," he re
flected, l'has so many notions, it would
be confounded bad luck if he should
happen to r.troll through the vineyards
tomorrow and get a shock to his nerv
ous system."
"See here, Chardo, What If you
should stay In bed tomorrow and have
a good rest? You need it badly. I'll
tell the woman to look after you."
Klchard smiled drearily.
"1 really shouldn't mind much. It's
a very good place. The best except
one for dummies."
"You are weak and It will do you
good," Florin continued equably. "You
must begin to recover your strength."
"It's a mystery to me how you evolve
food anil beds out of your Inner con
sciousness." "That's all rlcht, little one. I'll tell
you ubout it later. I'm going to evolve
a lot of things. I've got some commer
cial transactions on hund. Now, you go
to sleep and don't bother."
ltichard was too exhausted to remon
strate. Florlo soon lay listening to his
friend's soft breathing, und reviewed
the day. Its victories, in spite of a cer-

tain diabolical luck, seemed paltry nnd
puerile enouirh, now that the excite
ment was over and night's merciless
inner light shone on them. Still,
there the two wanderers lay housed
and fed. "Improbable" but a solid
fart. The bed was short for Florlo.
Hut he rather enjoyed the insistence of
the footboard, which proved possession.
Heyond the shadow of n doubt had
he. a vangrunt, without diplomatic pre
liminaries, simply demanded work of
the vintner, that suspicious and crusty
individual who would have sent him
about his business. Had he frankly in
timated that was a man of the better
sort of associations, but, owing to a
peculiar combination of adverse cir-
sircumstances, homeless. Impecunious,
sorely in need of employment, and dead
eager to do the hardest work for the
meanest wages that would keep him
self and his ill friend alloat, in all prob
ability the case would have seemed so
utterly disreputable, it Would forth
with have been handed over to the po
lice. "Lord, Lord, how this world is given
to lying! Yea, verily, it doteth upon
It," he mused, yet a certain lankness
of spirit had succeeded to his hollow
ness of stomach. How could he pay
for the lodging requisitioned In this
high handed manner? How buy food?
How sustain Chardo's spirits without
money to provide him with the one
thing needful for' his physical and
moral health the opportunity to paint
In peace? How, In short, tide over
until Chardo and he both shooM find
their grooves? ... . ". ' ..y

Night thoughts are naked and strong.
Florlo surveyed his dubiously. The
house was in the suburbs. Rustic
sounds entered the open window,
among them the Insistent croaking of
frogs, which he for a long time htard
mechanically. They gradually awak
ened memories, and finally inspired
him with a project, absurd yet re
assuring, which set him heaving with
silent .laughter and wishing Chardo
was well enough to be waked up to
listen. Still it was wiser, perhaps, to
say nothing. Chardo was fastidious.
Tu-A ilnvn Inter nn niehr tlmiiirhta nr
misgivings clouded the landscape. The
sun was up and so was FJorin s fun.
"How great men spend the first
money earned by the sweat of their
brows and heaven knows mine dripped
like Niobe is always gloated over by
their biographers," whereupon he
bought at a hatter's a nice little silv
ery tin bauble, a prince's coronet, such
as serving men wear on their caps.
"What a blessed thing is a high state
of civilization," rellected the philoso-
"OH, I SAY. COME BACK,
pher, examining It contentedly before
dropping it nto his pocket. The toy
had two little llexlble pointed ends,
and could be adjusted or removed In
the twinkling of an eye. He also pur
chased and put on a high shirt collar.
For this promenade he had taken tne
urecaution to don Chardo's coat, it
having no holes In the elbow.
"Destiny Is more Just than wo some
times acknowledge;" he had, while
dressing informed his friend, "the seat
of my trousers is Intact."
Strolling on, he fraternized with sun
dry newsboys, nnd ne'er-do-wells. The
sort of information he desired was the
easiest In the world to obtain.
"What's your line?" demanded the
harassed director of a small variety
theater, fiercely, because still writhing
under a recent bouleversement.
"Oh, I can sit up and beg and hold a
stick on my nose," drawled Florlo,
twirling his young mustache and cock
ing his eye over his new collar.
This was evidently a music hall fa
vorite. The tired man's tone softened.
"Sung much?"
"Itathcr!"
"Name?"
"Varies."
"Oh, that's all rlcht," muttered the
director, never shy of celebrities ly
ing pedus. "Fresh, plenty of nerve,"
he rellected. "Step this way, if you
please. My Kapellmeister is here at
the moment."
Indifferently, a trifle arrogant of
mion. Inwardly quaking, yet cheering
himself on with adaptations of ancient
wisdom, such as "modesty Is the thief
of tlmo," "cheek Is Its own reward."
"patient wnltlng gathers no moss,"
"coming events are soon parted," "It's
never ton late to throw stones," Florlo
followed through dark, stuffy and tor
tuous passages, and finally found him
self on a small, meagerly lighted stage
before a dusky auditorium crowded
with chairs nnd tables ad redolent of
tobacco and beer.
PART IV.
A little greasy, good-natured man
sat at the piano.
"Just let me try my paces with yon?"
Florlo put his hands on his hips,
opened his audacious mouth and
roared an "Ah" scale with a good light
baritone, fairly well trained.
"Now, one of your specialitloii. If you
please." the director, even more ex
pansive, requested. If the yftung fel
low had a hit. It would really be a
godsend, fir that little vixen Ninette
h.id ton: up her contract In hla face,
refused point blank to appear that
evening, and threatened, unless he
doubled her salary, to go over alto
gether to the Collsseum. The public
was daft aboutt her, and her celebrated
No. 14 promised to be a blank. "You've
brought no music?"
"I've been on "a walking tour with a
friend, anil not yet looked lip my lug
gage. I don't mind singing with no
accompaniment."
Florlo nonchalantly sauntered to
ward the footlights, and began "Tha
Hullfrog's Roundelay," a mocking,
nonsensical, wise, delicious thing, writ
ten by his dear, dead father, and set
to music by the equally dear and
whimsical genius of a friend, for a
Christmas merrymaking not a decale
ago. It seemed to Florlo but yester
day that he was one of a chorus af
rapturous urchins who, in completo
frog garb, crouched on their hind legs
during the solo, and croaked and gur
gled the refrain, while hopping, after
the agile mode of the marshes. As he
sang, remembering the kindly light of
other days, the present grievous straits
looked black enough, and in his throat
were divers gulps foreign to the orig
inal composition, but he acquitted him
self creditably for all that, and the di
rector rubbed his fat hands.
"A good thing."
"A very good thing." echoed the
pleased Kapellmeister. "I'll get you-a
fine accompaniment, sir. Strings?"
"Strings," decreed the lofty Florio,
with a vile desire to weep."
"You sang in "F." The Kapellmeis
ter struck some chords, and ran pret
tily through the melody.
"Just give me some sudden double
croaks In the refrain, will you? Horn,
flageolet, bassoon and that sort of
thing," you know," suggested the sing
er, as'one born In the music hall pur
ple." "You shall have them, never fear."
"Capltal!"exulted thedlrednr. "They
are mooing at the Coliseum. All it
wants Is some local hits" privately
assured It would bring down the house.
"Hinkenfuss must write you some
gags."
"I always do my own gags," re
sponded the star stiffly.
"So much the better, I'll i.'erely give
you a few hints, since you are a strang
er. I'll note, them for you. Politics,
court gossip, newa about iowD, all as
risky as possible, you know, without
being actually compromising." r
"(julte my genre." said Florlo grave
ly, accompanying the exceedingly ur
bane director back to hla private room.
"As to terms." thsit genUeman rf
marked suavely. "I like your song and
don't mind piaylng for it." suggesting
a third of Ninette's salary.
Florlo looked him In the eyes, put on
his hat and walked toward the door.
"Oh, come now, since It's to oblige
you." The director named two-thirds
of the capricious little dame's emolu
ments. Florlo paused on the threshold.
"Jood morning," he said amiably.
"I'll Just look In at the Colissemu."
"Oh, I say, come back. You're a
spoiled one, I see plainly. I'll ni t deny
It. I want your song. It's fresh."
"Its not bad," Florlo admitted neg
ligently. "In fact. Its one of my best.
It is Prince Chardo's favorite."
"Ah, Indeed!"
YOU'RE A SPOILED ONE."
"Oh. dear yes. I've sung It to him in
private audience fifty times, if 1 have
once."
The singer, under the name of Willy
Wlnkel, was shortly being engaged by
written contract on the gratifying
terms hitherto In that chaste temple
of art only to Ninette, the darling of
the public.
"Minx, she's led me a pretty dance!
She'll sing In a different key tomorrow
morning. Six months?" he aske 1 In
sidiously, glancing up from his desk to
the youth sitting easily on the corner
of a table, who shook his head oracu
larly. "Na, na! I have larger things In
view. I may and may not stay with
you some months, but I can engage
only by the week. What time am I on
tonight?" he asked languidly. 1
"No. 14, between ten and eleven. Be
here at ten, If you please. The Ka
pellmeister may want you a moment.
Second entrance left. The bills are
out, of course, but I'll announce you
with a rousing placard."
"I say! "Its awkward about by lug
gage. I had forgotten. I can't sln;r
tonight."
"Donnerwetter! What do you
mean?"
"Why, my frog costume, man! You
don't suppose I can sing my song v 1th
out my own complete frog-mask?
You'll have to wait till next week."
"Wait till next week! Not to save
your soul! Well, you artlpts are all
alike, as two peas. You all want your
own capricious little way, don't you!
No, sir. You don't know what you are
talking about. You'll find a first-clus
frog -costume In your dressingroom,
sir. Trust me for that. And It's an ad
mirable idea, Herr Willy Wlnkel. and
so opportune, for the Collsseuni's hud a
cow on thrue nights. Not sing for wan',
of your own costume? You shall be
satisfied, sir. Only look In early enough
to try It."
Florlo sat for awhile on a bench In a
park and played' with his cap. Ills
features wore the happy, artless smile
we love to see upon the face of youth.
Stepping Into a shop he begged to be
allowed to elance at a directory, from
which he copied a long list of picture
dealers.
"Have you anything by Richard
Burgdorf?" he inquired of each and all
of thorn.
They regretted to say they had never
even heard of him.
"Ah? Indeed!"
Polite but unmistakable surprise up
on the open countenance of the young
man, obviously the intelligent servant
of a magnate. They noted the name of
the artist.
Most of these shops were too sump
tuous, too lavishly provided with su
pernumeraries, to suit the delicate poise
of Florlo's designs. Finally he found
in a quiet street a place of modest yet
apparently prosperous character, al-
"OH, NEVER MIND. PAY WITH
THE LARCJER ORDER."
though Its rosy young proprietor was'
too busy to be standing at his door gaz
ing benevolently at the passers-by.
Florio examined the pictures In the
window.
"Have you anything by that very re
markable young painter, Richard
Burgdorf?"
"Never heard of him," replied the
other, but not In the Olympian manner
of hiB predecessors.
Florlo raised his eyebrows.
"Well, you see," explained the young
man, frankly, attracted by the other's
face, and, being himself of humble ex
traction, quite at ease with a person of
that class, "I am a beginner. I Ve al
ways been In 'frames. But I'm fond of
pictures and am gradually working
over. They say I'm not a bad Judge.
Of course. I have a good deal to learn.
Won't you come in and look about?
I've cot one or two nice things, and
some tine engravings I'd be happy to
show you." . ... i ,
"Oh, eullulessness." sighed Florlo.
"how beautiful thou art! To think. I,
too. was once like that, before I got
hungry and hardened."
"You have painter's materials, I set,"
he said, pleasantly. "Very tolerable
stock."
"Oh. yes. Everything."
"He's a good fellow. It's a pity. It's
almost like lying to the blessed granny
of my dreams. Whereas the thrifty
husbandman anil the serpentine direc
tor got not n v hit more than they do

"We shall soon be wanting a lot of
things in that line, I suppose." he ob
served carelessly. "My maser. Prlncj
