Tymko Novak, a Gallclan peasant
who owned a small farm In the village
of Mackowica, In Austria, lived
through tho greatest tragedy of his
life after his funeral, thanks to the
criminal carelessness and stupidity of
three people.
Tymko, an elderly man, died in his
cottage home and was buried iu the
neighboring churchyard with all the
pomp^ and ceremony so dear to the
Slavonic mind. Ills family and :
friends, having shed their tears over!
advice ho cou!d rive was: "Nobody t?
ulK v.i.l to opct: ii Bravt* except br
special permission of the fjendnrme*.
You must go to the Kcndarmes and
ask them f?i.- Uit'lr permission. Hut
our friend Tymko Novak must have
committed a great slu If his soul can
uot rest tiuletlr.ln that cotlln."
The grave '.Ipftcr look Kusek's nd
vlee aivd set i>ut to the gendarmes' sta
tion. By this time it was dark, and
the gravedlSRer hurried on, thlnklnc

talui, we ut home. Only the graved Ig
ger remained, aud he hurried to (111
up the grave before nightfall. Sud
denly he. was horrified to hear :i dull
sound come from the earth lie had
Just thrown In. It stopped, and. think
ing his nerves were getting the better
of his reason, he went on with his
work. Again the noise began, and thi
time he felt sure that it sounded as If
the dead rnau's soul were trying to gel
out of the coffin.
Instead of uncovering the earth aud
opening the coffin, he gave a shriek of
fear, threw ilowu his spade and ran to
the head of the village to ask what he
was to do. Unhappily, the head of
the village? a tnau named Kusek -was
as stupid as the gravedigger. All the
: ko's soul, which had got out of the
coffin. By the inn he met an excise
man. Jan Wenger, and told him the
story. Wenger, without waiting to
hear the theory of Tymko's soul, pulled
him along and, hurrying to the ceme
tery, began to uncover the grave as
fast as he could.
When they Anally got the coffin op
and oi-oned it a terrible sight met their
I eyes. The corpse now lay on one
side. The left nrm. Instead of being
c rossed with the right over the breast,
was under the head. The face was
? tlstorted with the agony of this terri
ble death; the whole of the clothing
was torn Into shreds, the flesh bruised
I and cut from the uufortunatc man's
efforts to get out of this living grave.
