4 Pretty Story.

In Naples the papers tell a avery pretty
story of the Queen Of Italy. 1t appears
that as she was driving to the royal wood
of Lincalo the coachman mistook the
road, and one of the gentlemen asked .
countryman the way. The man, seeing
the fine carriage and horses, and the
servants livery, and all gay company,
thought he was being fooled. ''As if
you did not know!" he said, with a big
grin. The Queen laughed, and assured
him that they were lost~. Then only did
the countryman condescend to point out
the way, after which he walked off Is il
fearing to be laughed At again.
"Give him twenty frarcs for his
trouble" said the Queen to one of her
escort, who going after the countryman
said to him: "Here, my man, is little
present from the Queen Of Italy, who
thanks you"
1.-THE Queen!" cried the countryman,
returning to the carriage. "Forgive me
that did not know thee. But I had
never seen thee before. Thou art as
beautiful as a May rose. God bless
thee" And the carriage drove off.
Now the countryman, who had once
seen the Queen, wanted to see her pretty
face again, and the following day he
presented himself at the palace.
~ know her, you know" he added
mysterlously. II spoke to her yester-
day, and I want tn sneak to her again. -
Thinking he had to do.with mad
man, the porter was about to have the
poor fellow arrested, when the very
gentleman who had given him the
twenty francs appeared and, recogniz.
ing the man, told him to wait. He in.
formed the Queen of his presence,
''Bring him here, by al MEANS" was
her answer.
When the man was, for the second
time, before the Queen, he said: Eyes,
It's thou. l thought had seen fairy.
Thou art Just an angel. I did not tell
thee yesterday that ! have two little
ones without . mother. Wilt thou be
their mother7"
"That ] viii, said the Queen.
"Then. there's the twenty francs thou
gavest me yesterday. l thank thee but
want no money!" And he went away
crying and smiling ike child.
The Queen has adopted the two little
ones and they are in an institution, I'M
der her special patronage.
