(The Now Tort Grening Wertth, NO. 60—SINTRAM; by De La Motte Fouque. IORN of the Fiery Eyes was holding noisy Christmas earouse at his grim Drontheim castle, Around the board im his vaulted banquet had eat his vassal knights, their drunken shouts and 7 laughter vying with the roar of the vintry storm outside. Suddenly the door leading from the sleeping rooms burst open and a Wild-taced boy, dishevelled and frightfully pale, dashed into the hall. He was Sintram, old Btorn'’s only son. Seizing hie father in panic terror, | Sintram screamed: “Death and Another are pursuing me!” While Rolf, an old squire, soothed the affrighted iad, the knights silently shrank away from the board. All of them knew the history thet jlay behind Sintram’s crazed words. Here, in brief, fe the story: | Some years earlier, at a Christmas revel, Biorn had taken a rash oath to Kill the next foreigner who might chance to halt at his castle. Gearcs \had the vow been made than two German merchants knocked for admit- tance at the gate. Biorn ordered his followers to say them. And he called on Death and the Devil to record ‘hig oath. His lovely wife, Verena, hurried forth from the castle and by her mere presence intervened to save the strangers’ lives. But as she did so two halt visible crea- tures slipped past her into Sintram’s room. The child woke screaming with fright. Ever since, et Christmas time, Sintram was obsessed by nightmare that Death and the Devil were haunting him. Verena had long since withdrawa to @ convent. Gintram, ieft to his brutal father’s companionship, was as flerce and undisciplined as a wolf. Ae the years went on the boy grew to powerful young manhood. He was his father’s comrade on murderous raids and forays and grew to be well-nigh @@ much dreaded as was Biorn himself. And yearly, at Christmas’ time, came the ghostly pair to haunt him. One day Sintram, at the head of his men-at-arms, beheld « party of strangers landing from a ship. He led his followers against them. But a knight in shining mail et the head of the voyagers overcame him in single combat and would have elain him but for the pleas of a beautiful woman, who bade him spare the fallen. ‘The etranger knight was Folko of Montfaueon, The woman was the Laéy Gabdrielle, his wife. They accepted Sintram's humbie invitation to become guests of Biorn's castle during their stay in Norway Almost at once, after their arrival at the castle, Sintram found himself hope- lessly in love with Gabrielle. As walked alone one night, striving to crush back this love, he was accosted by a strange, dwarfish man, who rose from the rank grass in front of him and who introduced himself as “The Little Master.” ‘Thie dwarf began to sing the praises of Gabrielle and to point out to @intram various easy waye whereby, the young man might slay Folko and make Gabrielle hig wife. intram, fearfully tempted, nevertheless resisted the Little Masters prompt- ings, and at last fled from Biorn'a castle to be away from the cause of his temptation, To a rocky abode in the mountains he fled. But the Little Master followed and renewed his praises of Gabrielle, telling of methods whereby her husband could be killed. Another guest also visited Sintram, sometimes; there in his solitude: @ shadowy, ghostly creature—whether ghost or humay the youth couldn't decide, At last Folko and Gabrielle left Norway, The temptation was removed. Sintram had conquered. Word came, while he still abode in the mountains, that Blorn was dying. Sintram mounted his horse, and, followed by his dog, eet forth at nightfall for his father’s castle, As he rode through a weird val- that seemed peopled by hideous shapes he became aware tha’ he was not alone on his journey. At one aide of him rode a cloaked figure on a white horse from whose neck hung a tolling bell At the other side trotted a mis shapen little man. The usually gallant dog and warhorse cowered in fear, ‘A ray of moonlight showed Sintram who his companions were. The rider on the white horse was Death. The other was the Little Master—whom Sintram now khew for the Devil. The Little Master again urged him to fly to Gabrielle. Death said fiothing, but raised high an hour glase whose sands were all but gone. Sin- tram, knowing he must choose between them once and for all, bade the Little Master in God's holy name be gone. ‘The Little Master, affied fury, fled from him forever. And Death's once hideous face took on iow of wondrous beauty and gentleness. And togetner the two riders travelled through the dawn to Blorn’s dying ped.
