Fantastic Slory of a Sixteenth Century Tragedy. John of Nuremberg relates how a man, lost nt night ln u strnugo coun try, directed bis steps toward n lire that he saw boforo him. On reaching it he found n wolf sitting enjoying its warmth nnd was Informed by him that hu was really as human as him self, but that he wns compelled for n cortalu number of years, like nil lilt countrymen, to nsmimc the shape of n wolf. A strange country, indeed, where wolves when the evenings grow chil ly light u Hie aud In the comfort of Its ruddy glow nro found ready to en tortnht the passing traveler with their conversation! Olnm Magnus In tho early part of the sixteenth century tells us n story of a nobleman ami his retinue who lost their wny In Journeying through n. wild forest nnd presently found them selves hopelessly foodlcss nnd shelter less. In the urgency of their need ono of the servants disclosed to him In confidence that lie had the power of turning himself nt will Into n wolf and doubted not but that, If bis mas ter would kindly excuse him for a while, ho would be nble to (hid tho party somo provision. Permission be ing given, the man disappeared Into tho forest under semblnnco of a wolf nnd very quickly returned with a lamb In his mouth and then, having fulfilled his mission, resumed bis human form. In Auvergno In 158S a nobleman in returning from the chase was stop ped by a Htraucer. who told him that he had been furiously utttuked by n savage wolf, but Imd bevu fortunate enough to save himself by slushing off one of his fere pawn, This he pro duced as ii trophy, when, to the tm Jonlsiiment of both. It was found to have Imk-oiuo !! delicate hand of n lady. The nobleman fvlt mi sure that Le i-ivogiilxed a ring uniii it Hint lie Lurried to tlie castle nud there found Ms wife sitting with her arm tied up. nud en removing the wrappers tho sand was lubwlng.
