ton, seized the goat undid it's bell tied it round
his own neck and commenced to push his way
all tours through the bushes, tinkling the bell
and rustling among them as he went Nearer
and nearer the gendarmes he came but he just
went boldly on in the dark, acting the goat 10
such good purpose that the unsuspecting SEN
tnels merely thought that an old goat was eating
its way along among the bushes in the erratic
way goats have. So Belacoscia passed right
through the guarding gendarmes and clean away
When morning dawned the certain capture was
not effected and Bellacoscia was free TO give
more trouble in the future. Another time he
was flying from capture, the gendarmes close on
his heels when he found the way blocked by
river in flood and escape seemed impossible.
Every minute his pursuers were gaining lie
could not cross, and TO go back meant certain
capture. Again his wits saved him. He scram-
bled down to the marshy banks of the river where
there were some dark, reedy pools cut a hollow
reed put one end in his mouth, and sank himself
down into the Shiny black water till he was
completely covered, with only the broken end
of the reed projecting into the air, and through
this he breathed in comfort. The gendarmes
came rushing down 10 the river, where a mo-
ment before they had seen the fugitive, but now.
when they reached the place, Bellacoscia was
gone-cean vanished, as if he had been spirited
away, and they went back to report that the
devil had certainly got him for he had undoubt-
eddy been there, he had never gone away, and ne
certainly was not there now
Towards evening we reached Evsa, happy
little village rejoicing in grand position, and
well worth visit. If il were only to see the
view looking down the gorge TO the Gulf OF Porto,
that alone would be worth the journey Just be-
fore the forest of Atone commences one should
leave the road and scramble across field to
projecting mass of rocks. for there can be seen
a sight that must equal many Of the finest pros
poets in the world for majestic beauty An I'M
mense gorge enclosed by magnifcently shaped
mountains extends below crowned at the end by
that king OF them all. Cappo dOrto, and away
beyond lies the blue sea, all hazy and soft in the
distance. While standing on the rocky projection
overlooking this impressive scene, sense OF
littleness comes over the beholder, and one ceels
almost like an intruder in this solitary spot,
Where silent Nature reigns alone
Majestic on her craggy throne
