Oh: the Americans are great demo-

salute. you know. and they know nothing
about such things"
The beautiful young girl brought In n
tablecloth and spread 1t on the floor. The
oemarch stepped to the door, and, calling
a young boy from the street, said some
thing to him in low tone
A noisy but good-natured discussion i'm
mediately arose between the mayor on the
one hand and Papas-Malecko and his
daughter on the other The priest, dartinx
from the door. called the boy back the
mayor. Kur' Nikolaki, Selling Lindbohnl's
cane, threatened the boy with 1t. and
pushed the priest back into the house
Panayota protested laughingly, calling
upon the Virgin and crossing herself.
What's the row, anyway" asked Curtis
to his great disgust, not being able to eaten
enough words from the rapidly spoken sem
tences to be quite sure of their meaning
Panayota'S enunciation was more clear cut
and distinct than that of the others, and
from what she said he concluded that the
mayor was ordering food from his cafe a
proceeding which the priest and his dauga-
ter good-naturedly resented as a reflection
on their own hospitality.
Seems like quarrel between church and
state" observed Curtis.
Michali explained the remark, easily an-
derstood in Greek, and the mayor, shouting
great thunder claps of laughter. patted Cur
tbs on the back and cried. Bravo! bravo"'
Panayota placed on the cloth huge loaf

but he clung with inexplicable affection to
the shapeless and uneasy straw, still
tethered to his buttonhole.
Behold cried Michali, as they reached
a turn in the street whence the view was
"Yonder Is the ravine where We came up,
and there Is the sea. You will hardly find
village in all Greece from which the sea
is not visible"
The village, on this fragrant and dewy
spring morning, was peaceful and idyllio.
Curtis drew long breath into his lungs,
and. closing his eyes, imagined himself in
ancient Arcade On the balconies Of the
neatly whitewashed houses pots of basil
and begonia had been set out. and formed
green patches against the white. Here and
there an almond tree in full bloom dis
pensed wide sweetness, or shook its snowy
petals to the breeze. The site of the town
was so uneven that 1t seemed possible to
step from the threshold Of some of the
dwellings on to the red-tiled roofs of 9TH
ers. There was water everywhere. Some
times it ran through wooden troughs and
sometimes 1t darted down clear byways
worn in the blue rock. They walked beside
wall. on which was aqueduct, and
they heard the water gurgling above their
heads.
The demarch was standing in the door Of
his cafe. A single grape vine, spreading
out on frame, supported by two posts
ard the wall, made a panoply above his
pale green as young frogs. Kurios Niko-
laki was an imposing figure. and doubtless
felt his position in the community, combin-
ing as he did in one person the important
functions OF mayor, grocer, saloonkeeper
and banker. He stood Tow, with his hairy
har.ds crossed over his seni-sprerical stom-
ach, watching the advent of his guests and
smiling benisnly. As Curtis glanced at the
tall yellow boots. the vo!uminous breeches,
the ble-breasted vest with wooden balls
for buttons. the rakish fez. he thought for
the first time since LANDING in Crete of his
camera. That had gono down with the
Holy Mary. The dCmarch was clean-sha-
ven. with the exception Of his gray mus
tache. and his shirtsleevcs were fresh from
the iron. His cheeks were florid with good
living. and he would havo been a comely
man save for the fact that his lower lids
had fallen little, disclosing a red and
raw-looking spot Under each eye.
"Welcomei Welcome!' he cried. as the
party arrived. How arc MI. Stork and the

said the mayor. Come. lieutenant, Kur'
Stork. Michali"
But the pictures7'' said Curtis, when
they had entered. hoping that his host pos
sessed a collection of Byzantine, or perhaps
Venetian, works of art. Mr. Nikolaki
glanced about the room and waved his
hand majestically.
They are hanging on the walls" he re-
piled.
Borrowing Lndbohms cane, he made the
circuit of the room. pointing to the wretch

II am very WELL" replied Curtis in Greek
We did not bring tine church because we
die not see him.
Curtis had made great progress in Pana-
yota's language during his brief stay as
he had lost no opportunity Of practice. He
had found the girl very willing to talk with
him and not q little interested In his ef-
forts to acquire huency in her native
tongue. He had Glso made this discovery
which pleased him greatly, that the Greek

for him than that of Athens. as IT pos

"Ah, this is comfortable" said Curtis
sitting on bench with his back against

Killed Two Miles of Snakes,
From the Pittsburg Post.


L was running on a road in southwestern
fehnsylvania- said the old engineer,
when 1 killed two miles of snakes in thres
minutes 1t had been a wet and cold
spring and the same weather conditions
had extended to about the middle of May.
and 1t seems that all the snakes in that
part of the county had started to em,grate,
and as the rails had become warm under
the heat OF the sun the reptiles naturally
enough found the glittering steel a smooth
and comfortable highway, and they just
coupled up, one taking hold of the other s
tail, and started down the track / hap

but was sharply reminded of 1t, by putting
1t on the floor in his eagerness to follow.
When he finally reached the door Lind

CHAPTER ".

Curtis was confined to his room four days
with the foot which time he devoted as
siduously to the method. AS modern Greek
is now taught in our leading colleges, he
already knew the grammar fairly well. He
could decline the nouns and conjugate the
verbs, Of course, and possessed fair gen.
eral vocabulary. What he failed in was the

walks to the front Of the porch and
stands at the foot Of the steps, wait
ing for his bride.
Two middle-aged women stepped
from an inner room on to the porch
with the bride between them, each
holding an arm and guiding her steps,
for, as L have told you, her eyes were
sealed completely. Her entire face
was painted a CHASTITY white, while on
the middle of her forehead and each
cheek was a dab of bright red; her
lips were also colored a brilliant scar
let.
This little, painted and gorgeously
attired creature was guided to the mat
on which stood the groom. Then they
turned her about and laid over her
clasped hands a white handkerchief.
The groom now stepped to the other
end of the mat, and the principal part

and let me say that this wedding
suit is invariably hired, never owned
by the groom. The robe was dark
green, and bore PLAQUES" with a pair
of embroidered storks on the breasts
and backs, while a stiff black enam-
eled belt encircled his body like hoop.
He wore a ''palace-g going hat, of WOW
en- horsehair, with wings on it's sides,
and a pair of shoes which closely re-
sembled "Arctics," and were at least
three sizes two large for him
'tOn entering the court of their fu-
ture home, he was preceded by an at
tendant, attired in, white, with a red
hat a long string of beads around his
neck, and carried under his arm a live
goose. The legs of the fowl We're fast
ened together, and skein of red silk
was passed through her beak. This
