A Famous Paia,ing Bout.

In chapter on "Grscisn Painters 10

on any terms; go they challenged each
other, aud it was arranged that each OF
them must get up as good piece OF work
ss be could, and let the public decide
which should hold the cham pionship.
Zeu1is led of with man carrying . bss
ket Of grapes, life size; and Psrrhssius FOL
lowed with only big curtain. When the
show opened . lot Of birds a,w to the
grapes and tried to nibble them. The peo
pie went wild over ths', and Z,uxis felt
sure be Was going TO win 10 the first
round. He called ont to Parrhasius to
hurry and lift his curtain. II there was
any thing worth looking ct behind IL; and
then the match came to . quick hoisb,
for the curtain Was the picture, you see,
aud there was nothing st oil on the other
side. As soon as Z,xuis saw how the
thing stood, be owned up that be wasn't
10 ii. He had only fooled flock oi birds.
but Parrhssius had caught Q fret class
psinter, who ought to have known oil the
tricks OF the trade. Then Psrrhssius held
his chin in the cir, snd walked of with
the belt But z ,uxis behaved very decent
" sittr II was oil over. He admitted that

net have dared go near him, so Tor that
