The Tale of a cloven Foot

At Lamaziere, small town In the south of France, young nobleman, . scion of strict Catholic family of an. eient descent but small means, was en. gagged to be married to the daughter of well-to-do local lawyer, Jew. The marriage was to take place yesterday, but few days ago rumor reached the ears of the young nobeman s moth, CT to the effect that her future daugh- ter-in-law was afflicted with an infrm- ity, to wit, cloven foot.
 The pious woman, who had only con- sented to her son s engagement on ac- count of his marrying into moneyed family, suggested to him that his fancee might be the devil in disguise if it were true that she had cloven foot
 The young man paid visit to his fiancee s parents and said he was bound as dutiful son to honor his mother s wishes. He, therefore, asked to be al- lowed to see his fancee's s bare feet. The girls parents refused the young man s request and summarily dismissed him, with the result that the engage ment was broken off.--Paris cable to the New York Times.
