The marquis rushed 10 his aid, and as
he famed him with Ell Siglo Future, the
following words burst from his lips:
Tho highcst prize-wo-have-drawn

1nspite OF hisinnrmitics, the marquis
rushed down into tho Kitchen, aud rs

Caledonia and Rita wcro executing d

Jacinto had caught hold oil chair and
was Waiting around with that; Pepa
was beating time on kettle, making
tho most outlandish sounds, and tho
overseer was rolling about on tho floor,
crying or barking: "Pira Ia Virgin! All
hail to Mary!"
As soon as they saw tho marquis
they all flew at him with open arms,
and before he could prevent it they
lifted him up and tossed him about like
q ball from ono TO another, until, seeing
that he was beside himself with rage
they loft him on tho floor. 1t was oven
worse Ter him then, for Pepa, the cook,
seized him by tho waist and dragged
him all around the room, dancing mad
galop; whilo the oversccr, presented a
wine.iugto him, insisting that no should
take a drink, and assuring him that the
wine was worry good. Ito was quite sure
Of this fact, for he had already drunk
about half OF it.
As soon rs the marquis was able Ito
free himself he retreated to his private
apartment, wishing to relieve hi, mind
by telling the chaplain all about the in.
science OF his servants, and to talk about
tho high prize. To his great astonish-
mont ho saw the chaplain wrapped in
his cloak, and putting one his hat pr
paratory to going out.
| Where are YOU going Don Calixto,
for the Lords sake2" exclaimed tho
marquis, in astonish mem.
Vol, Don Calixto, by his leave, was
going to Sevilla to sec his family, and
give them the good nows, as well as to
collect his part OF the lottery ticket,
which amounted to several thousand
dollars.
"And you will leave me now. And
how shall hear mass?"
Just at that moment tho valet thrust
his pointed nose in at tho door. If tho
marquis would allow him, he also would
go after what was coming to him.
The marquis shouted, at the top Of
his voice, that they must be "posscssed
by tho Old Nick" to wish to 70 off. at
such M hour OF the night, when the
snow was 80 deep,-to which both Don
Calixto and Jacinto replied that the
train would leave the next station at
twelve o'clock that night, and that they
would go, even ii it had to DO on foot.
The marquis was just about to say,
but Jacinto must stay, for need him"
when tho coachman's ruddy face
showed itself at the door. Without
knocking or asking permission to enter,
he came in to tako his leave OF his mus
ter also, for no was going to collect his
share OF tho hard cash.
And the mules, who will take care OF
them? shouted his master. 'And who
will drive the coach?"
Whoever you please, your excellen-
cy, for shall no longer, drive" replied
the Jehu, turning his back, and making
room for Donna Rita. This estimable
person did not walk in rs she usually
did, as though treading on eggs, but she
danced in, noisy and gay, with her hair
dishevelled, and shaking big bunch OF
keys which she handed to the marqui;,
saying: These belong to the pantry
and to the wardrobe, your excellency.n
May the evil one fly away with you
and all your kind. you oldNwitchlM;Do
You expect me to attend to the broth
and to cook!"
Donna Rita did not wait to hear the
end OF his remarks, for she went Off
shouting with glee, and the others fol-
lowed furiously in her train, pursued
by the marquis, who came near catch
ing up with them in the kitchen, but
he did not dare to follow them outside
OF the house, for it was so cold. BY the
light OF the moon, he saw them all 60

came Caledonia and Donna Rita, arm
in-arm, and, lastly, Jacinto close to thu
feminine form which tho marquis rec
ognized as that OF Pepathe cook. Pepilla
also had LETT him. Alas
The marquis looked around the de-
serted kitchen, and saw that the fire
was going out. At the same time he
heard grunt. He looked around, and
there was the overseer near the hearth,
asleep, dead drunk. On the following
morning the old shepherd, who did not
want to drive away the luck, made the
| Marquis Dc Toursnohles some bread
and garlic SOUP SO that that noble gem
tleman was enabled to cat something
hot on the first day on which he awoke
| to find himself a millionaire. s.z
1t is unnecessary to describe the mag
niiicent establishment which tho mar
quis set up in Madrid but We ought not
to admit that he hired cook, whose
stews were sastronomic feats or poems.
1t is believed that some OF these deli
cious dishes, too heartily enjoyed by the
marquis, brought on tho disease which
carried him to the grave. Notwithstand-
ing this belief, surmise that his end
was due to the shock which no suffered
OIL the day that his magnificent span of
English horses ran away with him, for
he died shortly after in his palatial res
idcncc on Alcala street. 'y5i3 Z
When.h will was opened, they found
that he had left all oi-his property to
the shepherd of Fuencar.
