ASK your master to come here"
M. Favioli hurried up.
Listen, pray" said M. Juane.
M. Favioli endeavored to hold his
breath. OF sudden two philandering
cats set up caterwauling on the bal
cony.
81 hear only two cats talking love to
each other" said M. Favioli.
81 hear them too" M. jaime chimed
in. 'Be patient The flute will begin
again."
M. Favioli held his breath.
Suddenly, crack, the flute!
Let, oh, let me gaze upon thy face"
NJ jaime, in agitation, struck against
the wall, while M. Favioli burst into
loud laughter
81 have it, M. Jaune-I have it. will
present you to the artist. Please follow

He took light, and opening Nine.
Kissmicouick's door with his pass-key,
he pointed to cage on the table in
which bird similar to our blackbirds
was moving his head about and singing
without a semblance of fear
''That is Nine Kissmicouick flute,
M. Jaune-an Australian nightingale.
These birds learn an air perfectly and
in the night charm the neighbors.
Somewhat calmer, for it was folly to
get angry with bird, NJ. jaime said:
Propose to the lady to sell it to mo.
Go as high as five hundred francs, that
may have the satisfaction of wringing
its neck"
"Well, NJ. jaime, will speak to her
this evening"
NJ Fravioli complied with his promise,
but Nine. Kissmicouick sent him walk

The word "fellow" touched NJ. Jaune's
sensibility; he grew red in the face and
threatened rets;iation
AS Nine Kisspicouick was accustomed
to sleep from two to five O'CLOCK IN the
afternoon he scraped on a violin, two
hundred times in succession, the first
four measures of Returning from the
Review" Unfortunately for his plan
Nine, Kissmicouick was deaf of one ear.
She lay on the other and slept with the
serenity of marmot.
In the evening, still in a perspirat!on,
delighted with having silenced the 6rd,
if not the mistress, he promised himself
a fine sleep.
But bark! Suddenly in the silence,
crack. you have it. No, you don't have it.
The bird, which had, it appeared, a
prodigious memory, began to sing IRE

Under such provocation he stole with

couick's door. BY chance she had not
locked it. He hurried to the cage, and
with heart full of bitterness threw into
it biscuit dipped in arseniate of potash
and tripped back again to his room.
But far from making away with itself,
as the cruel lordling hoped, the bird
sang twice minute instead ofonce, and
then, as though it had two throats, il
warbled the two airs together, "Let
Me-" and 1.-THE Review"
Furious, M. jaime ran again to the
door of the American lady. She had
now come in and locked it, but it gave
way under the impact of his shoulder.
Madame" cried he, ''your conditions
no matter what they are?"
Indeed, SIR" she replied, her face sui

courtesy.
"Then l shall appeal to the law"
Pestered by the endless troubles
which pursued him NJ. jaime wa
finally brought to say:

John instead of jaime.
NJ. jaime led Nine. Kissmicouick to tn,
altar few days afterward.

himself, that she can not endure m,
and will hurry off to her own country.
Now, on returning from the review

Zouuds! What surprise! 1t was

The other nightingale, which NJ. Jaun
had taught to sing the Review" wa
that of Miss Whiterose at No. 6.
