TN the year 1920, during the reign of
 good King Frederick II. there stood X in the alley of the Cortellari house in which the natives were much interested. It was Q shabby dwelling built tall and narrow. The windows were small, heavily leaded and very dirty; the door. low and weather-beat- en: and the staircase. within. was rick ety and in bad need of repair. Yet in spite of it's forlorn appearance. passers- by always glanced furtively at the top story of the old house. and. as they did so. either crossed themselves or made magical signs supposed to be well understood by the evil one.
 And the cause of this intense interest was the fact that the sorcerer Cicho lived there. A great reputation for evil power had he, although apparently he had done nothing to deserve 1t. He look ed anything but wicked. as he smiled kindly in his long. white beard. nor did he ever dress other than modestly and properly, in clothes of sonber hue. But tales were rife as to his weird chamber, where ponderous tonnes, bound in silver, reposed on dusty shelves; where globes of crystal, strangely mark ed charts and keen knives curtously if was said he labored all night, bend ing over crucibles containing simmer ing liquids and muttering charms in

CLowLY the mother walked to a
 closet in a corner of the little A< room. From beneath a pile of clothing she drew forth a small box. With trembling fingers she opened it.
 "Alasl the money is all gone! she sighed. T was sure of 1t. but some how hoped against hope"
 For a moment she leaned weartly against the, wall. Then, rousing her self. she said:

 The mother threw her arms around the little girl and kissed her lovingly.
 But I shall return" she said com fortingly. And the good God will take care of you all.'' s4
 She hastily opened the door and took her departure. When she had passed round the corner of the house she knelt and offered up a prayer for the safety of her children. Then she walked noiselessly down the long avenue arched with trees. and out into the fields.
 Within the house Gertrude sat. anxiously awaiting her mother. Three little children played about the floor of the farmhouse. Gertrude dried her tears. in the determination to be very brave. although the firing of the cannon and rattle of musketry could be heard quite plainly. Still. she was already 14. and if anything

remained when. an old man. he came to Naples, resolved to do something which would be of lasting beneft to the world. And at last it would seem that his plans had succeeded. But he wished to make them perfect before dis closing them to the people of Naples.
 Now there also lived in this house a woman, named Jovanella di Canzio. She had great curiosity. Nothing dis turbed her so much as the fact that she was una ble to solve the mystery" as she called 1t of the sorcerer Cicho. At last, however. her zeal in spying upon the old man was rewarded. As she peeped through the keyhole she saw him prepare a dish with flour and vege- tables and lard. As it cooked a tempting odor arose. Jovanella noted carefully every little step in the making of this dish. Withdrawing silently. she tip- toed downstairs and began to prepare the same dish herself. Then she tasted it. How delicious it was! Truly, it was as good as 1t smelt.
