Benianin Comes "Fonne."

When Vajdar came to Buda- Pesth, he was obliged to make known his arrival presented at that time a peculiar aspect. Everybody wore the national garments. and among laced doimanies and spurred boots a man like Vajdar, in a eFrench suit, was liable to become a standing ob- ject of ridicule in the comic papers, But tailors and lace-makers. furriers and shoemakers, can help in preventing this.
 Vajdar cursed the whole city. He thought that 1t was better to be con demned to confinement than to live there. Rather to be locked up somewhere than be excluded from everywhere. The chief of police consoled him. He win not re- main here. He must travel on to the ..crown land" where he was born-to Pennsylvania.
 Things become better and better. There, hundreds and hundreds will recognize him as Diurbanu. At every step he will meet mothers who. pointing at him. will cry:
 That is he who ordered my son to be massacred."
 But he has a fixed route to travel, and must journey on with his faithful com panion.
 He arrived in Klausenburg late at night.
 Happily the. weather was rainy. and the streets empty; no one except the Wallachians coming home from the mar ket passed him. Their salutations dis uuieted him. He thought they had rec ognized in him the tribune of former times. But these people saluted him as they salute every well dressed person they meet. If no one breathes an evil spirit into them. they are good people
 Here Vajdar complained bitterly to the chief of police. He could not remain in this city. He wished to be permitted to go to Hermannstadt.
 They solaced him. He would not re- main here; he would be escorted farther, not to Hermannstadt, but home. to the city where he was born.
 ITO Toroczko?'
 ''Yes, to Toroczko. Every one Is sent where he was born"
 Rage and terror took possession of him.
 Let them rather send me to Siberia. or transport me to Cayenne! Send me upon a galley! But not to Toroczko-to the people who. of all in the world, hate me most There my life will not for a moment be secure. If they do not kill me the first week. they will let me starve. would rather be hanged at once"
 The chief of police comforted him.
 There are police in Toroczko, and a court of justice"
 He could be sure of protection against personal insults whoever insults him will be punished. Care had also been taken that he could not die of starvation. "Ev- cry one" would receive. during the period of his banishment, three hundred fiorins he could draw at the police court. The authorities neglect nothing. The kind gentleman, at the same time, made him happy with the pay-sheet. The affable companion then took Benjamin by the arm helped him into the carriage, and drove with him to Toroczko-" home"
