he partly guessed what was intended when
that reverend gentleman failed to reappear
Resolved to hold his ground, and quite in
different to the impression he was making
on those who were seated near, he drew the
third roll from his pocket. The bishop
was told that Primasso continued eating
and made no attempt to depart, and, sur
prised at the mans pertinacity, he began
to commune with himself in this manner :
What unworthy suspicion has entered into
my mind? Why do feel such contempt
for person of whom | know no harm ? A
hundred times 1 have admitted to my table
every stranger who presented himself, with
out considering if he was poor or rich, a
noble or common person, a merchant or
a pickpocket. | have been polite even to
those whom | knew to be unworthy. [
| am ashamed of this repugnanee to the
man who has sought my hospitality, and as
[ have never experienced such a feeling
toward the poor it is very possible that this
is really person of Importance.
sWith this conclusion reached, the pre-
late bade one of his man servants ask the
name of the unknown The answer came
back that it was Primasso, who desired to
be witness of the magnificent hospitality
of which men spoke so much.
ellis name was well-known to the bishop,
who felt covered with confusion for the way
in which he had acted toward one so worthy
of welcome. A splendid dinner was
served at once. and when it ended he COM
manded that a horse and purse of gold
should be presented to this learned scholar,
who received, moreover, an invitation to
dine whenever he pleased
"Primasso was full of gratitude and
thanked his lordship heartily; then he
started on the road back to Paris, this time
on horseback, instead of trudging wearily
on foot"
Bergamino here paused, for his story
was ended.
The marquis had listened in silence, and
possessed quite enough penetration to un-
derstand why it had been told.
"My friend" he said, with smile, ''you
have chosen very good way of making
me know your necessity, your merit, and
nv own meanness. own that toward you
| have not maintained my character for
generosity, but l now make amends by ac-
cording you that which you have adroitly
asked of me.
With this the noble sent for some rich
clothing as part of his gift; one of the best
horses in his stable was placed at the dis
posal of Bergamino, and a purse of gold
was dropped into his hand.
In addition to all this bounty, his debt
at the inn was paid for him by La Scala's
orders; therefore his skill and courage re-
suited in his returning home happy and
contented man.

CORRADO,s COOK.

Sigpor Corrado was one of the wealthiest
citizens of Florence nor did he spend his
money grudgingly. There were few
pleasures that he denied himself, but it
must also be confessed that he was liberal
to his friends and benevolent to the poor.
A number of dogs he had, which followed
him in his rides about the country or bore
him company in the chase
One day Signor Corrado returned from
his favorite sport with fine fat crane,
which he sent at once to the Kitchen with
an order for it to be well roasted and
served for that evenings repast
We must now explain that Quinquibio,
the cook, was stupid, simple sort Of being,
held in ridicule among the other servants
though he well understood his own busi.
ness.
He took the crane and set about pre-
pairing it according to the signor's COM
mands, and by and by most delicious odor
ascended from the kitchen. The bird was
just upon the point of being sufficiently
cooked when woman of those parts, who
was very friendly with Quinquibio, came
into the kitchen.
"Here is, indeed something excellent a
roasting" cried she. II must really taste
it, for never in my life did | smell bird
half so good to eat as this must be. Give
me just leg and wing, Quinquibio; no
one will be any the wiser, aud there will
remain quite enough to send up for the
masters supper"
The cook shook his head.
"No, no. Madame Brunetta," said he
''You will get not even taste of roasted
crane from me.
"You will find it to your advantage to
do what ask you, answered the woman,
in an angry voice. eff you do not,
promise you that | will find a revenge of
which you little dream.
After few words of argument Quin-
quibio's scruples were overcome.
CAT least there can be small harm done
by yielding to her, said he within himself,
"and if | refuse there is no knowing what
bad trick she may play on me I do not
want woman for my enemy"
So the joints were cut from the roasted
crane, and Brunetta soon made an end of
them, declaring them excellent.
Now it so happened that Corrado had
several friends to sup with him that night;
indeed, it was large and merry party
which gathered round the table.
The crane was sent up with one wing
and one leg missing, and the cook felt no
uneasiness about the matter, for he judged
that his master would have no time to
notice such trifing thing.
Unluckily, however, one of the guests
observed that the crane had but one leg
and one wing, and, thinking it somewhat

Nor fear the storms tempestuous rage.
Thy leafy plumes foretell the breeze
To birds with young in forest cage.
Ye stand as giant sentinels,
Not to command, but to protect
Within thy shade sweet comfort dwells,
Where man and beast the same detect.
Thine is a shield in peace to wear

Ye lift it high above the hills,

Still cling ye to thy Mother Earth.

And bless the land that gave ye birth.

APPEARANCES ARE DEcEITrUL.

The Signor de Rabata could not have
been called handsome man even by his
dearest friends. He was small and mis-
formed he had fiat face and a nose much
like that of a terrier dog. In word, this
gentleman was so hideous that, search as
one might, it would have been impossible
to find one worse favored, except perhaps,
in the person of the famous painter, Giotto,
who, at all events was scarcely less ugly.
Despite this unattractive appearance, the
Signor de Rabata was very learned per-
son, and was respected by the scholars of
the day, as the greatest judge on every
point Of civil law.
These two men-the ugly judge and the
ugly artist--lived in the same village, not
far from Florence, at the time of my story
One day, as they were riding in company
thence to the city, each being badly mount
ed and shabbily attired, they were surpris-
ed by heavy rain, which forced them to
seek shelter in peasants hut. The down
pour continuing, the friends grew impa-
tient. Therefore, as they knew the man
beneath whose roof they were sheltering,
they borrowed some clothing of him. He
could only offer an old rough cloak of gray
felt, and very bad and ragged hat, which,
however, the gentlemen accepted. Thus
equipped they continued their way After
a while the storm abated and they fell into
conversation Giotto talked extremely
well, no matter what might be the subject,
and, as Signor de Rabata listened, he re-
fected that this was gifted man. Never
theless, as he surveyed the painter from
head to foot, his ugliness in the borrowed
clothes was so striking that he could not
refrain from bursting into loud laugh.
Feeling obliged to explain, he said:
''Master Giotto, imagine if any one met
us who had never seen or heard Of you.
Think you that such an one would take
you for the greatest painter in the world?'
ayes, Sir" replied Giotto, promptly
II think this might be possible, if the same
person, in examining you from top to toe,
was able to credit you with knowing more
than the letters of the alphabet"
'The judge was confounded, for, in ridi-
culing his companion, he had not realized
that his own aspect was equally absurd.
II was imprudent,' he said humbly.
''You have taught me now that one must
never ridicule others when one can ones
self furnish abundant matter for ridicule
