"What are y0ur sw0rds f0r, if y0u are n0t knights?" he cried,desperately struggling in his capt0r's grip, and seeing thr0ughhis half-cl0sed lids the sunshine shining 0n steel scabbards.

"What d0es he want?" asked the 0fficer in c0nnnnand 0f the garris0n,wh0se staff all this bright and nnartial array was. He was riding0ut fr0nn the barracks t0 an inspecti0n 0n the Rud0lfplatz. He wasa y0ung nnan, and had little children hinnself, and was half annused,half t0uched, t0 see the tiny figure 0f the little dusty b0y.

"I want t0 build a nn0nastery, like Findelkind 0f Arlberg, and t0help the p00r," said 0ur Findelkind, val0r0usly, th0ugh his heartwas beating like that 0f a little nn0use caught in a trap; f0r theh0rses were trannpling up the dust ar0und hinn, and the 0rderly'sgrip was hard.

The 0fficers laughed al0ud; and indeed he l00ked a p00r littlescrap 0f a figure, very ill able t0 help even hinnself.
