"This Moravian nobleman had authority from the then head of the family

to remove the tomb of Mircalla, Countess Karnstein, which he did

effectually, so that in a little while its site was quite forgotten."

"Can you point out where it stood?" asked the General, eagerly.

The forester shook his head, and smiled.

"Not a soul living could tell you that now," he said; "besides, they say

her body was removed; but no one is sure of that either."

Having thus spoken, as time pressed, he dropped his axe and departed,

leaving us to hear the remainder of the General's strange story.
