CHAPTER V 



A FOURTEEN-POINTER 



ONE fine day, just after the close of the 

 manoeuvres, I found an invitation on 

 my writing-table to a stag-hunt at 

 Johannisberg. His Eminence, the Prince- 

 Bishop Kopp, was the sender of this welcome 

 invitation. 



It was not quite easy to come to a decision, 

 as I had planned to make the hfe of the king 

 of the German woods a burden to him during 

 the rutting season, both in east Prussia and in 

 the beautiful red deer hunting districts of 

 Pomerania. At last I made up my mind to 

 follow these hunts with a visit to the friendlv 

 Prince in Austrian Silesia. 



On a sunny, cool spring morning we alighted 

 from the train at Jauernick and were greeted 

 on the platform by his Eminence in person.
