he did indeed purpose TO send Master
Vlllon to the galows, or at least and
worse, into beggar's exile, but that
he was stayed by Master Vilon's happy
use OF the phrase concerning q star
fallen from heaven, which words, harp
ing upon the superstitious Wits of his
majesty, made him believe that the
dream which had puzzled him was in
terpreted and fulfilled. In this regard
Dom Gregory records with q sly grav-
lty how many suggest that Master
Francois used those words of set pur-
pose with the Very intention of playing
upon the strained strings of the kings
mind. But there be those, too, Dom
Gregory adds. and we gather from his
manner that he is inclined to include

partisans of the king who maintain
that the kings. cruelty was from the
start a mere mask for clemency, that
he only intended a little malicious
sport with the too outspoken lover and
the too disdainful lass, and that it had

seriously to punish either the broker OF
ballads or the valiant maid of Vau-

sequences of kingly acts, all of which
seemed perhaps more mornentous at

that Dom Gregory had let such phil

OF what happened to Francois Wilton

DRY is little less than dumb. Losses
in the manuscript account for much of
his silence; perhaps his ecclesiastical
indifference to the welded state may
account for more. If we can gather
vaguely from other sources that the
poet and his mistress settled down on
a small and quiet estate in Poitou. lived
a peaceful country life for many years
and died peaceful country death at
the end. 1t is the most we can hope to
gain with surety. We are glad to be-
lieve in their happiness, for he was a
true lover and she WAS fair woman.

nemember the Baker.

At the court of assiZes in Venice,
when sentence Of death is about to be
passed, a man clothed in a long black
robe enters the court, and advancing
to the bench bows profoundly to the
Judges, saying, Remember the baker!'
Then he bows again and ~retires. Here
is the explanation of the custom:
Three centuries ago a baker was exc
cuted at Venice for q crime of which
he was not guilty. When his limo
was fully proved, the judges who
condemned him invested a sum Of
money, the interest on which serves to
keep a lamp p~erpetually lighted in the
palace Of the doges, this being called
the lamp Of eXpiation." In addition,
their fatal mistake has for 800 years
been held up as a warning to their sue
cessOrs on the bench when they are
about to infict the extreme penalty Of
the law.
