Is that picture of the death of the
Lord?"
She pointed to a painting that de-
picted man being stoned by other
men. And the student, perched on a
ladder, halted her brush long enough
to answer:
That is the martyrdom of st. Sc
bastian."
''Oh, is it? I thought it was the
Lord. Are you sure?"
why, yes, the Lord was crucified,

We'll, you may be right. I knew

The student to whom she appealed

That's the Trojan horse, don't you
remember?"
The bride shook her head. The
bridegroom was haughtily glum.
"Oh, you've just forgotten 1t! The
