Because of this same love in later days the valiant knight lay pitiful in death. ADVENTURE VI. How Gunther Fared To Isenland for Brunhild. New tidings came across the Rhine.

In an instant the tall warrior's weapon was in his hand, and was descending on Laban's head, when a shot from behind a hut struck him on the forehead, and he fell forward dead at our friend's feet.
Wenona had not hoped in vain, for her lover was with her, and Wanska seemed to be forgotten. The warrior's flute would draw her out from her uncle's lodge while the moon rose o'er the cold waters.
