And so I said to myself: 'Antonio, sure- ly you rtesorvo a liltlo haipiness as well as thi-se gissl and noble peonlul Takt the oold fowl and cat it with lovo and gratitude In your heart!' " Mrs. Mildmay could not scold him aft er this defense, and she simply contented herself with telling him that he might keep the fowl for thia time, but that such a method of equalizing the benefit or fortune must not oocur again. An- i tonio promised both her and himself that it should not, and though ho con turned to keep his wife's table fully supplied from that of tho Mildmays the latter never again found him iu posses sion of surreptitious chickens. One day Antonio found a goldpiuoe 'JO francs, iu fact on the floor of his gondola. Hu knew it must have la-en (Iropis-d by tho paron, and hu promptly j brought it to him. "How wrong I was, " said Mrs. Mildmay, "to doubt tho poor fellow lH'causu of that affair of the chicken !

Toward spriug Antonio thought it best to have his wife's mother die, but to his surprise Mr. Mildmav did not offer to nav the o d adv's funeral ex- penses. Hn drew the line ut mothers-iii- law. find Antouiu received ontr liiu bnlf holiday to accompany the corpse to the in. : : i. . ho sometimes wondered if she were capa ble of carrying her resentment fo far as to tako his Englishman from him. There is gas in Venice, but the judi cious householder tliH's not use it, save when ho desires to enshroud his rooms in a twilight gloom. If he wishes a light strong enough to read by, he burns js'troleum. It was, of course, Antonio who supplied the petroleum to tho Mild may household, and equally, of course, he bought tho poorest quality and charged for tho dearest. Now, in spite of all the care which a timid person may lavish on a lamp burning cheap petroleum it is nearly certain sooner or later to accomplish ita mission of set ting somebody or something on fire, and Antonio's petroleum, which was rather nioro explosive than gunpowder, unac countably spared the inmates of the casa Mildmay until the mouth of March, when it suddenly assorted .itself. It hapHned in this way: One even ing Mrs. Mildmay took a lamp in her hand nnd started to cross tho wide nnd slipiery floor of her drawing room. The rug 011 which sho trod moved under her, and in the effort to savo herself sho dropped Oie lamp. It broke, and iu an instant sho was in a blaze. Autonio was iu tho anteroom.

She escaped with nothing worse than slightly burned finger, but Antonio's hands, arms, feet and ankles were bnmed to the bone. Dy this time Mr. Mildmay, who had been in his study, heard his wife calling for help and made his appearance. Antonio aked the parona's permis nion to sit down for a moment and then fainted away. Tho cook was called and out for the doctor. She met Antonio's brother in tho calle, close to the house, and sunt him up stairs. With his help Antonio wn carried to Mr. Mildmtiy' WMlriMiin and laid on the lied, und be lorn thu doctor cumn tlin wounded man regained iMiiinciouHniwH and thanked thu llildmaya for their earn of him.

"I thought," nnnwered Antonio, "that TM-rhapx the Madonna had not yet noticed that they were not wax, mid that it would not bo wise to tell her of it just iw one in going whero sho is.
