making at the window until. with a
sigh, he said goodnight and went home.
The next day he called during the al
ternOon. In the evening nothing hap
pened- The young man went to bed
with the chickens and slept like a log,
as he wanted his fatherinlaw to see
that he was a model young man.
Besides. what was the use now? He
had caught his bird Zaphiroula was
his and her mouse was open to him
He might drop in whenever ne wanted
kiss her in Madalena's presence and
call her my sweet love" So there was
really no reason why he should sing
now.
In her happiness, Zaphiroula did not
think much OF this If she missed his
singing she had his kisses now.
The days passed in love and hapi-
ness until the last Sunday in Aprn
came near, when they were to be mar
ried
One day the overs quarrelled, as
It appeared to Menegos that Zaphi-
rOula was too much interested in
handsome young fellow who often
passed through the street He told
her so and she would not admit It, IN
til one word took the other and ended
in tears.
To tell the truth. it was only "a
phirOula who cried. Menegos was really
angry and, for the first time. he went
away without kissing her. That night
Zaphiroula remembered the farin that
did not sing as the canary was inside
the cage, and she compared it to Meme
COS, who had also stopped singing as
soon as he had been accepted as SON
inlaW by her father.
How strange! How very STRANGE"
she thought. From the very first day.
the very first moment It was like an
omen So birds and men are alike
Menegos sang every day until he was
accepted and now, instead OF sweet
songs he has only hard words And /
who thought Oh. I am so unhappyP'
/ owe 1t TO truth to tell that neither
the tarin or Menegos ever sang again.
Zapahiroula and Menegos were mar
RED and were quite happy together.
And IL ZaphirOula had plenty Of hard
words and Quarrels, she also had ca
resses-sOmetimes
But the great MARBLE OF love which
Ilrst captured her heart she never
heard again.
