serted that, as a combination of profes

was simply uniiiin. Mr. Mildmay, tin;

Antonio w its not a man who shrank

of g loliers, and when the next day ; fectly safe, iu so doing, for highway rob-
: Antonio asked him to give him as a 1 bery and crimes of violence are almost

my heart bled for ptsir Antonio, wliu :

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 ! No one would ever havn bor
tho wiser if he had kept that 20 frano

Antonio was now one of the happiest
mou in Vonico, but one morning he
came to Mr. Mildmay with a faco of
pathetic Badness and asked for a day's
holiday. "It is not for pleasure that I
ask it, " ho said. "My only pleasure is

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.

ho clasped her closo in his anus and
smothered the flames that had caught
her petticoat by pressing her Bgainst
his bosom. 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

The dottor, uf ttr dr xniiig thu wounds,

"You nhall havn anything yon want,

"Thu paron in miHtakeri, if ho will

Spiro confirmed Antonio' statement,
like u loyal brother who in afraid of no
fraternal lie, and Mr. Mildmay had not
tlio heart to trouble tho nuflerer with
any morn doubt of hi vfracity.
Antonio wum duly confessed and re
ceived aliMolution. "Did you tell tho
father about the 0011(111?" whispered
Kpiro after the priest had gone.
"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
