mired so much Canova's statue Of Pau

Mr.. McCabe does not speak Italian, but
he explained by signs to an attendant
what he wanted, and the man produced
a set of picture cards from which Mr..
McCable selected the two he wanted. He
understood that they cost 2 cents, as the
attendant held up his hand with only
two fingers open, SO he paid and left the
gallery.
Mr. McCabe had hardly started to walk
back to his hotel when he was overtaken
by the breathless attendant. who ges-
ticulated and shouted at the top Of his
voice. Realizing that II was impossible
TO understand what was the matter, Mr..
McCabe thought that the best plan was
TO leave him, so he started to walk.
The man followed him and continued
shouting. and when the young American
FASTENED his step the attendant caught
him by the shoulder and tried to stop
him. Mr.. McCabe lost his temper and
knocked him down. Just then two po-
licemen rushed on Mr.. McCabe and ar
rested him.
