CUNNING AsTRoLoGER-An astrolo-
Ger foretold the death of a lady whom
Louis XI, passionately loved. She did,
in fact die; and the King imagined
the prediction of the astrologer was
the cause of it. He sent for the man,
intending to have him thrown through
the window, as a punishment.

be 50 learned q man, what thy fate
will be-"
The soothsayer, who suspected the
intrigues of the Prince, and knew his
foible, replied:
"Sire, l Goresee that | shall die
three days before your Majesty"
The King believed him, and was
careful of the astrologer's life.
