yet returned, but Sancho said: No! Hunger presses; the ass IS laden and the mountain Is near; to the grave with the dead. the living to bread. Let us march" And march they did.
 Reaching a retired valley they dis mounted and Sancho spread a feast for himself and his master. The ec- clesiasts who were escorting the dead boy had dropped their wallets in their flight-wallets well stocked with food and the provident Sancho had gather ed them up and loaded them upon Dap pie. But having neither water nor wine to quench their thirst, when they had eaten they went on a little further through a wood in search of a stream They had not proceeded far when they heard a great rushing of water, but at the same time another fearful sound. din of irons and rattling chaAns and mighty strokes delivered In regular time and measure.
 Don Quixote ran to his steed and mounting in haste was for at once charging upon this new peril, but poor Rozinante refused to move. even at the prick of the knights spur. "Verily the steed is enchanted" cried the Don; but the fact was that, Sam cho, fearing to have his master rush off toward the horrible sounds, had secretly tied together the animals hind leRS SO lndI SuO Couiu hOL buuBO o step. Don Quixote, however, refused to dismount and sat on horseback until day began to break, when. Sancho hav- ing secretly unhobbled Rozinante, the knight, followed at a safe distance by his squire, rode through the chesnut wood in the direction of the fearful clamor.
 Upon doubling a point the true and undoubted cause of the noise which had held them all night in such suspense appeared plain. It was simply little fulling mill, the six hammers of which were busily at work. Sancho burst into a laugh, which so angered his mas ter that he discharged blow at him with his lance that. had 1t lighted upon Sanchos head instead of upon his shoulders, Don Quixote would have at once discharged himself of his squire's wages unless it had been to his heirs.
 This stopped Sancho's ill-timed mirth, and his master forgiving him, the two took to the road again. They had not journeyed far when the Don dis covered a man advancing on horseback. He had upon his head something that gllttered as if 1t had been gold.
 When one door Is shut, another is opened" said Don Juixote
 If we were disappointed of an ad- venture at the fulling mills, here Is an- other open to us A man approaches wearing Mambrino's helmet. Retire and leave me to deal with him
 T will retire fast enough" replied Sancho, but I pray this may not be another fulling mill adventure"
 Base knave!' cried the knight, T command thee never to even think again of fulling mills. If you do I wil, mill your soul for you" and putting spurs to RoZinante he went charging upon a peaceful barber who was pro-
 l~so l. lage to another and had placed his brass basin on his head to save his cap from the rain which was beginning to fall
 "Defend myself, caitiff!" cried Don Quixote as he neared the barber. The man, affrightened at the strange ap- partition, slid from his ass to the ground and went scampering over the plain, nimbler than a roebuck. leaving hls basin behind.
 "Doubtless the pagan for whom this helmet was originally forged had a prodigious head" said the Don to San cho who now came up. What are you laughing at sirrah?'
 q was laughing" replied Sancho, "to think how much like a barber's basin Mambrino's helmet looks.'
 50 it may, to you" retorted the knight, but to me. who knows what 1t really Is, its looks are of no impor- tance."
 Don Quixote placed the basin on his head and held it there by passing a strap over 1t and under his shin, so that strap over it and under his chin. so that even than before. The errant knight then raised his eyes and saw approach ing in the same road about a dozen men strung out like beads. held by the neck in a great iron chain and all hand cuffed. With them were two men on horseback armed with firelocks, and two men on foot armed with bikes and swords As soon as Sancho saw them he exclaimed: Here come some criminals condemned to the galleys."
 Then these men are carried off against their will" said the Don. Here is where my office comes in.
 T would have speech with these men," said Don Quixote, courteously riding up to the guards. You may ask a few questions" was the reply but their commitments are all regular and we have little time"
 What are you sent to the galleys for?" asked the knight. For being in love-" replied the youth with a grin
