OF becoming tho soR-in law Of the

You say once YOU gro not satisfied,

he added, laughing. And ho did as
ho said. Prague was full OfsindenIs
with tho ond oftholr noses glnod on,
which dll not prevent an ugly scar,
and, s,ill less, bad jokes. 10 return

warmest passion,
a Young man by the name Of Co.
randa, somewhat ungalnly ia man
ner, but cool, gdrolt and cunning,
which are not bad aids In making
oge's fortune, took il into his head
10 try tho adventure. The farmer
took him in with his usual good
nature, and, ms soon rs the bargain
was made, sent him TO tho fold TO
work. at breakfast tlno the other
servants wero called, but good care
was taken TO forget Coranaa. At

take q nap.
"Arc you not satisfied p cried tic

At that instant tho farmor's wifo
came rushing in, crying that her

and tho farmer turned palo.
"Aro you not sGtisfod?' asked
Coranda. '
'eA ham is only 4 ham," said the
master. "Slch triilcs do not trouble

good care not to leave the student
fasting.

his wife seated themselves in the
wagon to so to church, saying to
Coranda: at is your business to

"Vcry WE'LL" answered Coranda.
There was n little pet dog at the
farmers house by tho namo of Pars-
Icy. Coranda killed him, cut him
up with the meat and vegetables,
and put the whole to boil over the
Kitchen fire. When the farmers

to Coranda.
"What you ordered mo, mistress.
