Von Moltke’s Serenade.

Yon Moltke once went to Lindau, as he thought, incognito. He ordered ,a room on the ground floor in the “Bayerische Hos” and went to bed

early, bat forgot to draw bis blinds down. When he was just going to sleep he heard music drawing near. He had been recognized, after all, and was going to be serenaded again. The difficulty was how to get dressed without being seen. He dared not strike a light. But presently the glare of torches lit up his room and the curious crowd stood close to the windows, their noses pressed against the panes. In spite of that he feU that he must rise, so he got up and dressed. But as be put on each piece of his apparel, the feat was greeted with loud and prolonged applause.
