HUNGRY TRAVELLERS.
An Odd Experience on Lofty Plateau
in the Pyrenees.

Pedestrians less hungry than Hector
France and his friend might have been
intimidated by the forbidding aspect
of a man whom they found sitting in
front of his solitary house on lofty
plateau in the Pyrenees, says a French
exchange. With Castilian gravity and
reserve he showed no surprise at see
ing them and refused to sell or give
them food and lodging. His wife
joined him and said that if the strang-
ers did not stay to talk, but went right
on, they would reach an inn before
dark.
But this Spanish reserve was not SO
mpenetrable as it seemed, as the
travellers soon discovered. They saw,
too, that some degree of indifference
might nationally be expected of persons
who could cheerfullv live so remote
from the world.
Here we are, and here we shall
stay" said my friend Martiniere. DO
you always treat passersby in this
wav?"
"Passersby? There are none. Where
should they 90? To Estella. There is
