 On a beautiful day in March, master-tailor Hediger of 
 Zurich was sitting^ in the well-kept back-room that he called 
 his spiritual workshop. He rejoiced that the long, cold winter 
 was at an end^; for,* since* his income* was small, it would 
 never have occurred^ to hioi to have this special room heated; 
 and yet he spent much time in it,° reading and thinking,' when 
 his work permitted (it). The books and political pamphlets 
 in the walnut book-case indicated that Hediger belonged to the 
 party of the Swiss men of progress ; and not only the pictures 
 of Washington and Robespierre, which adorned the wall, but' 
 also an army mnsket with a full cartridge-box seemed to prove 
 that to protect right and freedom he would not* have hesitated 
 even* to shed the blood of violators of the constitution and 
 other traitors to the people. The worthy man had, however, 
 hardly begun to read an article in his newspaper, the " Swiss 
 Republican," when his sou Karl, a young official, entered the 
 room, and asked his father to lend him the musket, since he 
 must' have one at the drilP" that afternoon. " My musket? " 
 exclaimed Hediger, ' ' I should say not ! "^^ Why don't you 
 buy"^^ your own weapons? Your income is larger than mine." 
 Karl replied that he should need the musket only [a] short 
 time, as he intended' to become [a] sharpshooter. But this 
 did not help him any.^* "Sharpshooter?" cried his father. 
 "Good idea! Sharpshooter! Oh yes, I know." One who 
 wants to show himself in a green coat, and smoke cigars, and 
 be a great man, but* who couldn't hit a cat on the roof. Buy 
 yourself a musket and learn to shoot first."

 When Karl told his mother that his father would ^ not give 
 him the musket, she asked whether it was right of ^ him in this 
 way constantly to annoy the old gentleman. Since she knew," 
 however, that her son would be punished if he came without 
 [a] musket, she wished, if* possible, to help him. Accord- 
 ingly, she went to her husband and told him that the Society 
 of (the) Seven was [going] to meet in the evening,* and that 
 she believed there" was something political [coming up]. A 
 few minutes later, Hediger put on his hat and left. Then she 
 laughingly told her son that he might' now take the musket; 
 for his father would certainly not return before ten o'clock. 
 
 After Karl had come back from the parade ground and had 
 eaten his supper, he went down' to the lake. It was a glorious 
 evening and the lake was beautifully lighted up by the moon. 
 In a little boat which he hired he rowed along the shore until 
 he saw that a slender maiden had stepped into another boat 
 and was following^ him. She soon came up [alongside] ; and 
 the young people, after they had greeted each other," rowed 
 far out upon the lake, and did not draw in their oars until all 
 was quiet and lonely about them. Then they began to talk, 
 among other things, of the days when" they had played 
 together as children ; and they remembered how they had built 
 themselves a little cabin out of the boards that they found 
 among the large piles of lumber on the shore. But although 
 Karl recalled how they had often kissed each other in those 
 days, Hermine, his friend, had quite forgotten such familiari- 
 ties ; and when the young man attempted to draw near to her, 
 she pushed his boat away so violently that he almost fell into 
 the water.

 Hermine Frymann was a good daughter who did not want^ 
 to do anything^ against the wishes* of her father. When he 
 had asked her whether it was true that she and the son of his 
 old friend Hediger loved each other, she had not denied it; 
 but her father would have none of this,* and had forbidden her 
 all further thought of it. She submitted to her father's deci- 
 sion not only because she knew he was capable o'f deep anger, 
 but also because she took into consideration [the fact] that on 
 her account he had not married again. " If I am unable to 
 obey my father with my heart," she said to Karl, "I will at 
 least obey him in my outward actions. Hence I must ask you 
 not to come to see^ me so often as heretofore. It is enough if 
 we meet once every month. Perhaps it would be still better 
 if we should forget each other." 
 
 After the fair maiden of seventeen had delivered this speech, 
 she seized her oars and made for the shore, while Karl with 
 [a] heavy heart rowed along beside her. But he was young 
 and hopeful,* and so he soon forgot that a four weeks' separa- 
 tion from his beloved' had just been imposed upon him. Her- 
 mine, however, had also become pensive, and gazed dreamily 
 out over the water. She was therefore very [much] surprised 
 when Karl, who had at last succeeded in forcing" his boat [up] 
 against hers, suddenly held her in his arms, drew her over 
 towards him, and kissed her. How could' she have supposed 
 that the rogue would do [any] such thing ^'' after what" she 
 had said? When Karl, happy and triumphant, ^^ released'' 
 her, she cried out angrily, " Just wait till I have become your 
 wife ! Then you shall find out what it means to be^* under a 
 woman's thumb ! " But Karl, who perhaps liked '^ this second 
 speech better than the first, answered [with a] laugh, ^^ " How 
 good that tasted ! Good night. Miss Hermine."

 Hediger, the tailor, and Frymann, the carpenter, belonged 
 to the Society of the Seven Men, who also called themselves 
 the Steadfast, or the Upright, or the Lovers of Freedom. 
 They^ were old men who, as children, had lived through^ the 
 storms of the Napoleonic' era. Switzerland had not been a 
 happy country in those days, but in the year eighteen hundred 
 and forty-eight it had regained its strength and unity. The 
 Seven Men helped to form the nucleus of that pai-ty which was 
 filled with hatred against aristocrats and priests, but they 
 demanded no reward for the many* sacrifices they made.' 
 Though at large meetings they were quiet and pensive, they 
 were boisterous and gay when they were among themselves, 
 and talked* not only about politics, but also about their 
 domestic affairs. Frymann was the richest of the seven old 
 friends ; Hediger, the poorest. But though Hediger did not 
 possess large means, his four sons had been carefully educated 
 and had all [of them] a better income' than he himself; and 
 so he felt contented in the evening of his days. Not only he, 
 but all [of the] seven could say, "All's well that ends well." 
 
 The seven friends had come together on the same evening 
 that' Karl and Hermine were out' on the lake. It was true, 
 what Mrs. Hediger had told her husband ; for the transactions 
 were really important. Frymann, the carpenter, came forward 
 with the proposal that their society should in the next summer 
 attend the national shooting-match at Aarau with a flag of its 
 own, and offer a handsome gift of honor. Though some of 
 the men wavered [for] a few minutes because they did not 
 care^" to cause [a] sensation, they nevertheless did not hold 
 out^' long when [it] was explained to them that everybody 
 would recognize in the flag nothing more''' than the symbol of 
 true and tried friendship.

 Though the Seven Men fairly quickly determined the value 
 of the gift of honor, the selection of the object itself was a 
 difficult matter. For, when one after the other was invited to 
 express himself, it was found ^ that each of them, except 
 Hediger and Frymann, had something beautiful or useful that^ 
 he would like' to sell to the society for the two hundred francs 
 which were to* be spent for the gift. One, who was a silver- 
 smith, recommended a silver cup which, [as he said,]^ he had 
 just [then] in his store. But Syfrig, a blacksmith, was of the 
 opinion that it would be better to give an iron plow which he 
 had forged himself ; and Biirgli, a joiner, recommended a 
 canopy bed of the finest walnut, which had been built in his 
 workshop. ' This was not all. Two of the seven friends were 
 innkeepers. One of them had a cask of claret lying' in his 
 cellar, and the other was looking for' a purchaser for a young 
 milch cow of the purest stock. Each of the two beheved that 
 what^ he had to sell would make" the best gift. Inasmuch as 
 all spoke at once in order to defend their proposals, the session 
 grew a little stormy, and Hediger vigorously clinked his glass. 
 He asked his friends not to take it ill if he told them that all 
 their proposals were ill-considered, because a real gift of honor 
 must' have no hidden purpose. When the five asked him to 
 make a suggestion himself, Frymann took the floor and said 
 that to him a silver cup seemed indeed to be most suitable for 
 a gift of honor ; but that the design must be made by an artist. 
 Then the work itself should be done by Kuser, the silversmith. 
 This proposal pleased^" all so well that they accepted it.

 When the discussion about the gift of honor had been 
 concluded, Frymann asked the men to remain a little longer, 
 because he had^ a special matter to bring up. Then he lodged 
 a complaint against Hediger's youngest son Karl, who [as he 
 said] was turning^ his daughter's head. He confessed that 
 this did not please him, not only because Karl and Hermine 
 were' still very young, but also because he wished^ [to have] 
 a rich son-in-law. Karl was^ no business man, but an official, 
 and as such was^ provided for and did not need^ a rich wife. 
 But he himself was^ a business man, who needed^ a large 
 capital (in order) to carry out the extensive building opera- 
 tions '^ that he had^ in mind. " "What ! " he said, "shall Hediger 
 and I burden ourselves with mutual dependence by" changing 
 our old friendship to relationship? If we want to remain as 
 intimately united as we have always been, we must be inde- 
 pendent of each other. Do you' believe, Hediger, that we 
 should be better friends than now if your* son and my daughter 
 became man and wife? I [do] not,' but I feel that it might° 
 injure" our friendship. Therefore, I will ask you to oppose 
 this enterprise of your son['s]." Hediger solemnly promised 
 to do so ;' for he felt' as Frymann [did] about such a marriage 
 of their children. But the other men laughingly declared that 
 this was foolish business ; and Pflster, one of the two inn- 
 keepers, demanded that his cask of claret be drunk at the 
 wedding of the young people. ° "Then I will promise to pay 
 for the wine," Frymann angrily exclaimed, " for I know that 
 nothing will come of the wedding. Let us make a bet ; and if 
 you* others lose it, you shall pay for the wine, which we will 
 then drink [when we are] together at our meetings." The bet 
 was gladly accepted ; whereupon the important session was 
 finally closed.

 When on the following day Hediger disclosed to his son 
 and his wife at dinner what he had^ solemnly promised his 
 friend Fi-ymann, Mrs. Hediger laughed, and told him it would 
 be better if he and his society stuck to politics and did not 
 meddle with love affairs. Hediger, however, repeated with 
 much earnestness what he and Frymann had declared the night 
 before": that friendship and communism were two different 
 things, and that a marriage between Karl, the poor man's son, 
 and Hermine, the rich man's daughter, would cause embarrass- 
 ment between their fathers. Mrs. Hediger replied that it was 
 no communism if her son was fortunate enough to win the 
 hand of a beautiful and rich girl, and that it was no friend- 
 ship, or a very peculiar friendship, if two fathers would' not 
 permit the marriage of their children. "It is a swindle," 
 cried Hediger, "to stretch out one's* hand for other people's 
 possessions." " If it is a swindle," his wife laughingly 
 answered, "that two young people who like each other want 
 to marry, even though^ their fathers should" not be equally rich 
 or equally poor, I fear you and your society will have to '' put 
 up with' it. For this swindle is as old as the world itself. 
 I don't know whether there is anything to it, but if Karl and 
 Hermine do" love each other, you and Frymann won't prevent 
 their marriage." "Well,"^" said Hediger, "I can at all 
 events prevent it as long as Karl is under age. That is all^^ I 
 can do." After this pronouncement he withdrew in order to 
 read the latest number of the "Republican," while Mrs. 
 Hediger looked for her son, but without finding^'' him; for to 
 him the whole discussion had seemed so superfluous that he 
 had gone away.

 Hermine, to be sure, had told Karl that she would ^ see him 
 only every four weeks, but Karl hoped that she would forget 
 her resolution. However,^ after he had rowed out in vain on 
 the next four or five evenings, he became dejected ; for he 
 could not but' believe that the faithless girl had given him up. 
 This naturally made him very sad, and it was a [piece of 
 good] fortune for him that the time of training for the sharp- 
 shooter recruits now began. Karl, who had never yet had any 
 practice, was soon able to deliver rather good shots. This 
 was something old Hediger* could not understand. Kail 
 seemed to attain without, difficulty what he had been able^ to 
 acquire only by industry and laborious effort. However,'' it 
 pleased him very [much] that one of his sons was to serve' 
 his country as a rifleman, and as Karl had to have a uniform, 
 he determined to make it himself. 
 
 During the weeks which Karl spent at the barracks he had 
 no time to give himself up to his thoughts ; for the service was 
 not easy, and when (the) evening came, his comrades played 
 all kinds of merry pranks until after midnight. Among these 
 comrades was a young man of whom Karl had heard before.' 
 He was a bookbinder, who, however, did not find it necessary 
 to work ; for by' buying up old houses and then screwing up 
 the rent he had become quite well-to-do. But he was so lazy 
 and ignorant that nobody liked^" him, and he could maintain 
 himself in respect only by an obstinate obtrusiveness and a 
 fidl purse. Nevertheless, his uncouth liberality did not win 
 him any friends except a young peasant's son, who, though he 
 was rich himself, preferred" to satisfy his [gross] appetite for 
 food and drink at another's expense. The other men made 
 fun both of Ruckstulil, the bookbinder, and^^ of 8p6rri, his 
 famulus.

 As [a] soldier, Karl was content, but he was also [a] man,i 
 and he was in love.^ Now in (the) love one has' peculiar ex- 
 periences. This time it was the bookbinder that robbed* Karl 
 Of his peace [of mind]. E'er one evening^ he heard Ruckstuhl, 
 who seemed to have drunk more wine than was good for him, 
 boast to his friend Sporri that he should soon win the hand of 
 the rich daughter of master-carpenter Frymann. But when 
 Karl went home (on) the next day, his mother conveyed a 
 greeting to him from Hermine, and told him that she now met 
 the girl every day at the market, where Hermine was learning" 
 to buy; and that she was' always merry. Karl did not care' 
 to ask his mother ; but is was quite clear that she had heard 
 nothing at all' abont a marriage between Hermine and Ruck- 
 stuhl. Hence he hoped that it was not true. 
 
 A few days later, Hediger was very [much] disturbed in his 
 workshop by the odor of pure coffee and fresh cake. Though 
 he was very impatient, he did not forget that he was one of 
 the Firm and Unbending ; and so he did not enter the room 
 until he was called by his wife. "When he found Frymann's 
 daughter there as his wife's guest,' he did not remain long, but 
 ran to Frymann (in order) to tell him where Hermine was. 
 Frymann was vexed, and immediately followed his friend to 
 iis" house; here, however, they did not find the young giii, 
 but Karl, who had come after she had gone. He was very 
 happy, for he had learned^^ from his mother that on account 
 of ^^ the beautiful moonlight Hermine intended in the evening 
 to go rowing once more on the lake.

 In the evening, when the moon had risen, * Karl and Hermine 
 were on the water again. They sat together in Karl's boat ; 
 for Frymann's had been newly painted and lay on the shore. 
 Hermine had not known this when she told Mrs. Hediger that 
 she should go" out (on) that evening. Karl related what 
 Ruckstuhl had said, and asked if it were true. Hermine 
 replied [that] she knew' (that) this man wanted her for his 
 wife, but, of course, she should not take him. Her father, 
 however, desired a son-in-law who could help* him in his busi- 
 ness, and to him Ruckstuhl seemed to be the right man for 
 this [purpose]. He had invited him to dinner (for) the next 
 day, and she feared very [much] that Ruckstuhl would then 
 ask for her hand. Of course, this did not please * Karl ; but 
 since Ruckstuhl had been invited, by old Frymann,^ he felt that 
 he must be satisfied with knowing^ that Hermine would say no. 
 But Hermine, who did not want to have anything at all' to do 
 with the man, had thought out a plan to prevent his coming.' 
 Karl was to seduce Ruckstuhl to [commit] some foolish act 
 for which both should be put under arrest for one or two days. 
 "It would be better for your conscience," she said, "if you 
 suffered with him." But Karl preferred' to let his conscience 
 suffer, and declared that Hermine's plan was good, but that it 
 would be better if Ruckstuhl were put under arrest alone. 
 " However," he continued, " let us now forget him and speak 
 of other matters. For we have not seen each other [for] four 
 weeks."

 When Karl fell in with Enckstuhl and Spori'i on the way to 
 the barracks, he immediately began to carry out his plan. He 
 greeted the two so pleasantly that Ruckstuhl, who felt^ liighly 
 flattered, invited him to drink a bottle with him. "Not 
 now,"^ said Karl, "let us wait until we are in our room, 
 and then spend a night drinking' with the other recruits. It 
 will be a great joke for once to deceive the officers." This 
 pleased^ Ruckstuhl very [much], and he went to the barracks 
 with Karl and Sporri. Here Kai'l took some of his roommates 
 into his confidence, and they were all ready to help him, since, 
 as we know, nobody liked ^ Ruckstuhl. Many bottles of wine 
 were carried into the room unnoticed, and at^ ten o'clock, 
 they' began to carouse and to play drinking-games. He who* 
 could not accomplish what he had to do, got every time some 
 amusing punishment. When Ruckstuhl and Sporri had in this 
 manner^ incurred a penalty, they were directed to stand sentry 
 outside of the door. Then the door was locked behind them, 
 and all the others slipped into their beds. Ruckstuhl and 
 Sporri, who had drunk too much, were in the happiest state of 
 mind, and began to sing. When the officer on duty arrived, 
 they were not able to speak an intelligent word, whereas the 
 other young men, who had quickly unlocked the door again, 
 acted as if they had had nothing to do with the whole matter. 
 The officer would, perhaps, have been satisfied with taking^" 
 down their names, had not Ruckstuhl and Sporri begun to 
 mock him ; and so they were themselves to blame for" having 
 to''' spend the next three days in'' the guard-house.

 Undeniably it would have been much pleasanter for Ruck- 
 stuhl to be Frymann's guest the next day ; for it is not likely 
 that he had very much to eat and drink where he spent Sunday,* 
 and at Master Frymann's he would have found a bountiful 
 table. Hermiue'e father, not knowing'' that the gentleman 
 whom he had invited was unable to come, was vexed. When, 
 at a quarter past twelve, Ruckstuhl had not yet appeared, he 
 would not wait [any] longer and ate, but without appetite ; 
 while Hermine's appetite became the better, the longer they 
 waited for the negligent suitor. After the meal, Frymann 
 walked to a coffee house, and stayed there until four o'clock. 
 When he returned home, he heard voices in the garden, and 
 thought Ruckstuhl perhaps had come. He did not find him 
 there, but' [he did find] another guest, Mrs. Hediger, who 
 was drinking coffee with his daughter. [It was] from her 
 [that] he now learned what had become of^ Ruckstuhl; for 
 Karl had come home to dinner, and had, of course, told his 
 parents about' the comedy, which had had such a sad ending 
 for Ruckstuhl and his friend. Frymann, who felt that the 
 women knew why he had invited Ruckstuhl, did not care' to 
 remain with them long, but went to Hediger (in order) to tell 
 him, that his' wife and Hermine were putting* their heads 
 together again. His old friend could do' nothing for' him. 
 " But," he said, " even" if the women are against us, we men 
 will remain firm." And once more** they promised each 
 other*'' that no project of marriage should [ever] disturb their 
 friendship.

 Two weeks before the national shooting match, our friends 
 held another^ meeting. They liked the flag and the cup, both 
 [of] which' were now finished, and nothing seemed to stand in 
 the way of their success,* when suddenly it occurred to them 
 that one of their company must make a public speech. This 
 was a very serious matter, and not one of the seven was willing 
 to be the spokesman. They all excused themselves, saying^ 
 that oratory was an art that they had never learned. Hard" 
 as it would be to give up their undertaking, it was undeniable ° 
 that, as Frymann declared, if no speaker could be found, they 
 must simply leave their flag at home. "If we do that," was 
 the answer, " people' will laugh at us to" the end of our days. 
 For does not everybody know that we have had' a flag made? 
 ;No, we must take the flag [along] with [us], and one of us 
 ' must address the president of the festival, be" it never so 
 difficult. It may be that none of us is a great orator, but so 
 much is certain : you, Hediger and Frymann, are the two best 
 speakers we have ; and hence I say, you two men shall draw 
 lots, and the loser" shall be our spokesman." Seeing^^ that 
 it was a majority of five to two, Hediger and Frymann finally 
 submitted to this decision. They drew, and Frymann lost. 
 From this moment untiP' the festival he was an unhappy man. 
 To be sure,^* he had often enough made speeches to the satis- 
 faction'^ of his friends; but he thought that at'° the festival 
 he must say something different, something fine and high- 
 sounding. With painful effort he composed two pages of a 
 speech full of such expressions as liberty, rights of man, 
 slavery, and down" with the aristocrats.

 Frymann gave his speech to his daughter to' read. Hermine, 
 when she had run through it, asked her father why he had not 
 written something pleasanter and more cheerful. He said she 
 might^ be right ; he would try to soften the expressions here 
 and there. But this was in vain ; he abandoned the attempt 
 and tore up the paper. Then Hermine advised him, ""Wait 
 until you get there.' Get hold of an idea a couple of hours 
 before you have to make the speech ; let it develop, and when 
 the time for speaking comes,* speak right off-hand, as you do 
 (it) at your meetings." But this did not help him much ; and 
 he was fearful that it might'' be too late to find an idea when he 
 was'' (already) on the point of speaking. Accordingly, when 
 the Seven with their new flag rode to Aarau in their own four- 
 horse omnibus, all were merry except the orator of the day. 
 
 Hermine had gone to Aarau ahead ^ of her father and his 
 friends, [and] so' [had] Karl, who carried twenty-five car- 
 tridges with him, in order to be able to participate in the 
 shooting match. Perhaps this was not the only* purpose of 
 his coming.' Strangely [enough] , he had found lodgings quite 
 near Hermine, who was staying at the house of friends. 
 
 The arrival of the Seven immediately became known to 
 Karl,^° and at a little distance he followed their flag as they 
 marched towards the scene of festivity. Of all the marksmen's 
 clubs that came (on) this day, theirs was the smallest; and 
 they had to wind their way through the crowd. Frymann 
 carried the flag and marched bravely at the head,^' but the 
 expression on ^^ his face could not have been sadder if he had 
 been on his^* way to execution. The lordly national marks- 
 men's banner now became visible, as it waved in the air ; but 
 the sight of it only" made Frymann's heart" alP^ the'* heavier.

 Karl, who was still following the seven old [men], had also 
 seen the national marksmen's flag, and indeed^ with much 
 greater joy than Frymann, but in consequence^ of his gazing 
 at it somewhat too long, he lost sight of the other smaller flag 
 which Frymann was carrying. After some' searching, Karl 
 found the men in a tavern, and on* entering, he heard Frymann 
 say, " Dear friends, I am sorry,^ but I cannot do it. Here's 
 your flag." Was this his last word? The others evidently 
 regarded it as such,^ for they sat there in great disappointment 
 and distress, and when old Hediger, for' fear that they might 
 asli him to speak, advised them to return home again, they 
 were just about ^ to do so.^ But Karl stepped forward and 
 said encouragingly, " Gentlemen, you do not need to go home 
 if it is" only for lack of ^^ a speaker. If you are willing to 
 give me the flag, I will play^^ the orator for you. It is nothing 
 to me." All [of] the old [men] were greatly astonished, of 
 course, and nobody more [so] than Karl's father. He would 
 not-'' hear of it; but Frymann, almost beside^* himself with^^ 
 joy, gave the young man the flag, and bade him go [on] ahead 
 with it. The others, too, were glad that they did not need to 
 decamp so shamefully, and, led by Karl, they were soon 
 marching again through the crowd in the direction ^^ of the 
 marksmen's flag. This time it was old Hediger's turn^' to be 
 sad ; for he did not doubt that all would go wrong. ^' They 
 reached the trophy room ; they bared their heads ; the solemn 
 moment had come. A gentleman dressed in black ^^ stood 
 there, to receive them. The dark sea of people round about 
 them became silent, as Karl, the youthful color-bearer, stepped 
 forward and began his address.

 Karl spoke as follows : — 
 
 "These seven old men, who have asked their young color- 
 bearer to speak for them, have not come here to carry trophies 
 away, but to bring one, a modest cnp ; and this they offer in 
 the spirit of the words you see written upon the flag I bear : 
 ' Friendship in Liberty.' They became fiiends thirty, even 
 forty years ago out of [a] common^ love of ^ liberty ; and they 
 loved liberty' because they loved their fatherland ; which is 
 to-day what it is, because such men as these love it, and which 
 will remain free and happy as long as those who love it remain 
 friends like these. 
 
 But if you* should^ ask them why they love their country, 
 neither I nor" they could answer' that difficult question. They 
 do not love it merely because it is free ; for they loved it before 
 it was free. Nor' do they love it merely because they have 
 never seen [any] other countries, for they travelled^ much in 
 their youth. But though they have learned to honor every 
 other man's countiy, they can love only their own. Why this 
 is so, they do not know, though they are philosophers, who 
 have often weighed the value of human things. But this they 
 [do] know, and we all know and feel it with them, that of all 
 the good and glorious things in this world, none is so dear to 
 our hearts" as our fatherland. In the spirit of this common 
 love, which we cannot fathom, we ask to be received^' in the 
 bond of your friendship. Long live our fatherland ! Long 
 live liberty in our fatherland ! Long live friendship in liberty !"

 The loud cheer ^ which arose ^ when Kiirl had finished his 
 speech, showed that his words had met with ' general approval ; 
 and this cheer was repeated when the spokesman of the reception 
 committee* answered him in the same spirit in which the young 
 man had spoken. The eight men now wheeled about, but did 
 not say a word to each other until they had reached the great 
 banqueting hall. Then they all thanked Karl, especially Fry- 
 mann, to whom Karl's speech had been such a help in [time 
 of] need, and who was quite amazed because Karl had found 
 it so much easier than he [had done] to say the right [thing] 
 at the^ right time. Both" he and Hediger, who had yet often 
 declared that they were no orators, were now able to make 
 wise speeches and give good advice. While they praised what 
 Karl had done, and expressed the hope that he would cultivate 
 the gift that he had revealed, they besought him at the same 
 time'' never to forget that only by remaining" ever modest and 
 true, and never lending this gift to that [which is] false and 
 vain,° could he bring honor and happiness to himself and to his 
 country. When they had ttnished,^" one of the others moved 
 that Karl be received into the Society of (the) Seven, for he 
 had proved (himself) worthy" of this honor. "So be it," 
 exclaimed the old men, clinking^^ glasses with the youth, who 
 thus became one of the Steadfast and Upright. Then, after 
 takingly a light lunch, the little company separated; but not 
 without noting" the number of the table at which they had 
 been sitting, so that they might ^^ find it again for dinner.

 When the clock struck twelve, the seven old [men], Karl, 
 Hermine, and the women with^ whom she was staying,^ sat at 
 the table in the banqueting hall." A company of several 
 thousand country[people] and townspeople was waiting there 
 for dinner. "When (the) soup had been served, the principal 
 orator mounted the platform. He began by quoting^ a phrase 
 from Karl's speech, and told his hearers about, the seven old 
 men. He did not know' that these [men] were present,' nor' 
 did their neighbors know^ them. Otherwise their modesty 
 would have been offended and they could not have been so 
 overjoyed as they actually were. " Let us thank Karl for this 
 honor," one of them said when the orator had concluded ; and 
 Pfister, to whom it suddenly occurred' that he still had his 
 wine to sell, remarked to Frymann, " Don't you think, Daniel, 
 that you are going to lose your bet after all'?" But Frymann 
 was not yet ready to surrender. 
 
 After (the) dinner the shooting began again, and Karl went 
 to the rifle range (in order) to try his luck. Hermine, wishing i" 
 to look on, followed him with her friends ; but since in the 
 crush the women lost sight of each other, Hermine and Karl 
 soon found themselves alone. There '^ was something in Her- 
 mine's eyes which ^^ told Karl that if he won a cup, he should 
 also win another even more glorious reward. He never aimed 
 without^' first looking the beautiful girl in the face ; and he 
 made twenty-five hits in succession. " Now I must go to the 
 trophy room," he said, "for, though I can hardly believe it, I 
 have actually won a prize. Please request the old [men] to 
 call for me there, ^* for I must have an escort when they^' give 
 me the cup.

 With loud exultation the seven old [men] heard from Her- 
 mine that Karl had -v^on a cup with only twenty-five shots. 
 They hastened to the trophy room, where the young hero was 
 already holding the shining cup in hi? hand. Accompanied by 
 trumpeters playing ^ a lively air, the proud men of Zurich then 
 marched back to the banqueting hall. Here Karl dedicated 
 the cup to the society to which, since the morning of this day 
 that had brought him such honors, he had'^ himself belonged. 
 Not only a young man's prowess, however, but also a young 
 maiden's loveliness was to' be honored on this day. For when 
 the golden beams of the evening sun played about Hermine's 
 hair and face, all seemed suddenly to discover how beautiful 
 she was. Young men passed by her table just to* take off 
 their hats to her ; and finally a handsome student from Bern 
 politely approached her and said, "As [the] emissary" of 
 thirty friends sitting' not far from here, I beg your father's 
 leave to declare that of all the fair women we have seen 
 to-day, you^ are the daintiest and fairest." Then Karl's turn 
 came' once more. A somewhat intoxicated herdsman who 
 seemed to be looking for trouble,' came to' their table and 
 asked whether he might'" take a seat there, since he was" 
 tired. Before long,'^ however, he challenged Karl to a feat of 
 strength,'' which was to consist in'* their interlocking'^ their 
 middle-fingers and then trying to pull each other across the 
 table. Karl accepted, though he knew that he had to do 
 with a strong and skilful opponent ; and to the surprise of all, 
 he won this victory also.

 Karl modestly declared that his victory was due entirely to 
 gymnastic training ; and his proud father praised the spirit of 
 the new age which had* made it possible even for^ a tailor's 
 son to become an athleCfe. " Yes," said Frymanu, " and our 
 children, who are better off' than we were, may thank* us old 
 men for' having brought about this new age. But your son, 
 friend Hediger, and my daughter shall further' thank us for' 
 remaining open-minded to that [which is] rational and true. 
 Let us take back our decree ! Let us unite the grace and 
 purity of woman to the strength and determination of man! 
 Are you willing, old friend?" " With all my heart,'" replied 
 Hediger. "How about^ my cask of wine?" cried Pflster. 
 "It shall be tapped for the wedding," declared Frymann. 
 Then Karl's and Hermine's hands were joined ; and when the 
 people at the other tables saw what was going on,'" many of 
 them came and clinked glasses with the betrothed [couple] . 
 
 But the two young people now preferred** to be alone. 
 They went out into the night and stood [for] a while beneath 
 the federal banner, which was rustling softly in the wind. 
 " I once knew a young girl," said Karl, " whom a young man 
 kissed, when she did not wish to be kissed. She was very 
 angry and declaimed [that] if she ever became his wife, she 
 would make*^ him feel the severity of her rule. I hope she 
 has changed her mind*" since [then]." "And I once knew 
 a young man," Hermine replied, "who did not respect the 
 wishes of the girl he loved. I hope that he too has changed 
 his mind." " I believe the man knows better*^ now," said 
 Karl. "Then the girl," answered Hermine, "will take*' the 
 matter into consideration." *'
