and waved an ms piration to the squad

4 wonderful story has just made its
way hitler from Cannes, but as your
readers will plainly perceive, it would be
rather rash TO guarantee its strict authn-
icity. 1t would perhaps, be more pru-
dent to class it, pendingits notification,
among the "things that might have BEEN"
Be this as it may, the tale is worth re-
latipg, if only as novel specimen of
Munchausen literature. It happened in
this wise: In the forest of Esterel man
and woman were at work, and not far off
their babe-an infant. six months old
was lying in the cradle, which had been
moved to the front of their cottage in
order that the little cherub might inhale
the fresh air under the watchfni gaze of
its fond parents. Suddenly noise was
beard, en- enormous eagle swooping down
from the cerulegn sky, seized the babe
with beak and claws and began to soar
once more toward the sun, when the dis
tracted father, rushing madly into his
hut seiz I'd his qua. Without nom 9nt's
hesitation the man pointed his weapon at
the cruel bird and fired. The eagle drop
ped ear b ward as dead a5 a door nail,
and its slayer now achieved another feat
which would have won him
any amount of applause at Lords.
He held out his hands and caught the
babe as it fell, the little ore escaping
without a scratch and returning from its
long journey in mid air IS "bright as
but5on."So Tell of immortal renoSn has
now rival. Tie only drawback is that
skeptic has limited that if i. were careful
" examined the bird after all might
prove to be only a canard.
