"Archives of Breslau!" cried the general population, at sight of these wagons; and largely turned out, with emotion again like to unbottle itself.

"Mere Tax-Ledgers, and records of the Government Offices; come and convince yourselves!" answered the Authorities.

And the ten wagons went on; calling at Ohlau and Brieg, for farther lading of the like kind.

Which wagons the Prussian light-horse chased, but could not catch.

On to Mahren went these Archive-wagons; to Brunn, far over the Giant Mountains;--did not come back for a long while, nor to their former Proprietor at all.
