V- « - - This road did I follow til I met with an inhabitant of the isle, a man of strange appearanee and man- ner, though I pt ' rforee did percei e at once he was fully human. .And I was no little awed when he did hail me in mine own tongue and did greet me with much hopping up and down, and much shaking of hands, and exceeding friendly countenance, and many hihihihis, which address, in its shortened form, is a chief custom of this isle. And this in- habitant was called Master Ludwig by name.

Mn ' n at last I waked I did find nnsclf upon the shore of some strange land, and even then did I suspect it was an isle unknown to any of mine own countrymen, and I ween to this day none have thether tra elled. It did appear a pleasant countr ' , with diverse trees and bushes and grass abounding, and a small lake whereon ducks did swim; and a road made of a marvellous black substance, with striped hillocks about every fort ' paces ( the pur- pose of which hillocks I never could discover), divided the land.

Now as I could make little sense of his speech I did ask straitway for an audience with the king of the isle, whereupon Master Ludwig did inform me with much exuberance that he himself was erily the king, or leastwise king over one part of the inhabitants, and yet this kingship was not like to any I ever did hear of. After some time in converse and with considerable pains, I was able to obtain .some knowledge of the natural hierarchy of the isle and of the laws by which its people are governed, and were these latter not so contrary to those of mine own country I should be tempted to say a little in their justification, but I shall treat of them presentl) ' , and .so much for now. )i . •fy
