The collector and his men drew back before
the awful expression of Masan iello's coun-
tenance.
They sought refuge In the ranks of the
German cavalry, and the reiters spurred on
their horses to the charge.
''Our libertiesl" roared the crowd, ''or

In al instant every basket was overturned;
oranges, melons and figs strewod the ground
A thousand hands picked them up and show

1t was in vain that the reiters spurred their
horses--the latter, frightened by the yells of
tho people, reared and threw their riders, or
turned round and disappeared, with tho ra-

At this moment the ~lansquenets, recognizing
among Corcelli's band some oil their former

soon put the Castilian a~rquebusiers to rout.
Then was heard the voice of Mdsanjcilo.
