FINDELKIND
There was a little boy, a year or two ago, who lived under the
shadow of Martinswand. Most people know, I should suppose, that
the Martinswand is that mountain in the Oberinnthal, where,
several centuries past, brave Kaiser Max lost his footing as he
stalked the chamois, and fell upon a ledge of rock, and stayed
there, in mortal peril, for thirty hours, till he was rescued by
the strength and agility of a Tyrol hunter,--an angel in the
guise of a hunter, as the chronicles of the time prefer to say.
