THE CAGE MAKER.
N the town of the
nnclcnt kingdom of
Casttlo thero lived,
In former ages, n
youth called Bar
tolo, who tried to
eke out a living by
making cages for
birds, and taking
them around to soil
at the neighboring
villages. But his
trado was a poor one, and he judged
himself In luck If ho sold one cago In
tho day, and, as may bo supposed, ho
knew what sorrow and privation were.
One day as he was proceeding to a
village ho heard the sounds of revelry,
the buzz of many people, and the
strains of a band of music. This merry-making
was a procession of chil
dren dressed In white, carrying In their
midst a beautiful child crowned with
roses, In a chariot covered with white
satin, and ornamented with acacia and
tnrytle.
This procession was In honor of
Maya, tho personification of spring, and
took place to announce tho entry of
spring. In front of tho little chariot
some children danced and held in their
hands tin platters, for contributions,
and, as mny bo Imagined, all, or nearly
all, tho spectators drowned their coins
Into them.
Bartollo moved away In a despond
ing mood, saying to himself as ho
walked on: "13 this tho justlco of tho
world? There they are, flinging their
money into these platters Just because
these children como In procession to
announco to them that it is tho month
of May, as though they could not know
It by looking at tho almanac. They
barter and grind me down to tho low
est prlco for my cages, even when I
chance to sell ono!"
Full of these bitter thoughts, he
walked on sadly, for the voices of two
Importunate enemies were making
.hemselves heard within him these
wero hungor and thirst; the ono clam
ored for food and tho other for drink.
Bartolo had nothing in his wallet but
his clasp knife, and had had naught
for his breakfast but hopes, and these
made him sharp and active.
Ho had reached a plantation, when
ho perceived a well-dressed individual
coming toward him. Pressed by hun
ger, Bartolo, taking his cap off ro
spectfully, approached and said: "Ex
cuse me, sir, but could you kindly glvo
me a trifle? I promise I will return It
as soon as I earn some money."
"Dsn't you think that It Is a shame
ful thing for a man like you, young and
with a good, healthy appearance, to be

A BREAKFAST FIT FOR A KING,
demanding charity of peoplo? Does it
not striko you that you have a duty to
earn your living by working at your
trado?" .
"Yes, sir, certainly, but ray trade
does not fulfill its own duty. Most
people llko to seo tho birds flying about
freo rather than In cages, and there
fore, day by day, I find myself poorer
than before."
At first tho stranger doubted what
ho heard, but the blrd-cago maker gave
him so detailed an account of his work
and the small profits ho derived that he
became Interested and sympathized
with his Ill-fortune. Bartolo was a
man who always knew how to excite
great Interest In himself.
"Come, come," the stranger said,
smiling, "I will do something for you.
As I cannot find customers for your
cages, I will afford you a powerful
means by which you shall never moro
bo in want."
Ho then blew a whistle, and Bartolo
saw flying before him a bird blue as
tho sky, which came and perchod on
one of his cages.
"Seo here," added the stranger,
"what wllhcompensate for all your past
misery. From this day forward you
have only to formulate a wish and say
slowly and distinctly: 'Bluest of bluo
birds, do your duty! and your wish will
be granted to you."
"By my faith!" cried tho blrd-cago
maker, "but I will try It at once. For
the last twenty years I have wished to
kill hunger: 'Bluest of blue birds, do
your duty!""
Scarcely wero the words out of his
mouth than he saw suddenly spread be
foro him on the grass a breakfast fit for
a prince, laid on a service of exquisite
silver and glass and tho whitest of
cloths. Bartolo, astonished, flung him
self on his knees before his benefactor
to thank him, but he raised him up,
saying;
"I am tho good genius of the honest
worklngmen of Castile, Sit down and
eat without fear. Take advantage of
your lucky star," and then suddenly
disappeared.
Bartolo reverently bent down and
kissed the spot on which be had stood,
unable to find adequate expression of
his gratitude. He then sat down and
ate his breakfast.
After bis meal, Bartolo judged tbat
w
kdgM'
WMltJ W Mi
a mnn who had feasted in such an ele
gant manner ought to hnvo better cloth
ing than his well-worn suit; and, lift
ing his staff, he cried to the bird:
"Bluest of blue birds, do your duty!"
In nn instant his old suit becamo trans
formed into ono of richest velvet, em
broidered in gold and sliver, and his
rough staff into a splendid horso fully
caparisoned, and having around hla
neck a collar of silver bells.
Moro astonished thnn over, Bartolo
suspended to the saddlo tho cago with
tho bluo bird, leaped on tho horso and
went his way as proud of his drcsa ns n
donkey of its ears.
Setting spurs to his horse, he Boon
reached tho gates of a splendid castle.
Some feast was taking place within.
Tho guests were nil seated under a
shndy bower, deploring thnt they had
been disappointed of tho minstrels who
wero to have played.
Bartolo, on learning this, advanced to
tho bower, and, after elegantly salut
ing the lord and lndy of the castle,
In a most refined way said:
"If It be right for a simple knight to
offer his services In such a distin
guished compnny of rank and beauty, I
think I could promlso to provide what
you are requiring."
"Oh, do! at once, please!" cried all tho
ladles, who were longing for a danco.
"Bluest of blue birds, do your duty!"
said Bartolo.
Suddenly, In tho distance, was heard
tho noise of many feet, and a troop of
musicians with their instruments ap
peared, to the great delight of tho com
pany. Tho lord of the castle, who knew how
all this had been done through tho
ngeney of the bird, and being himself
of an inordinately avaricious nature,
thought he might do a lino stroke of
business wero ho to purchnse tho bird.
Hence, calling his unknown guest
away to his study, ho proposed to him
to purchase the bird for what prlco ho
should quote.
"You would never give me my price,"
replied Bartolo.
"For it I would give my castle, with
Its nine forests," said tho lord of the
castle.
"It ls not enough!"
"Very well, I will add my olive plan
tations and vineyards."
"That is still insufficient." cried Bar
tolo. "I will add the orchards, gardens andl
houses."
"I want something elso!"
"What! still more? Why, man, you
must want Paradise itself!"
"Not so; I want what you can give
mo this xery moment. I want your
daughter with whom I danced just now!
Let her be my bride."
"What! my daughter?" cried tho old
miser, in an ecstacy of Joy; "by my
faith, we shall soon conclude tho bar
gain. Why did you not say bo before?"
Ho went to seel; tho girl, and told
her of the engagement he had entered
Into. But his daughter, In utter amaze
ment, cried out:
"But what If he Is a wicked elf, and
all ho does be witchcraft?"
"You have an amulet of coral hang
ing from your neck; It ls an antidote
against all witchery."
"And what if he be Satan himself?"
"I will give you a piece of blessed
candle, and he will have no power
over you' replied tho unrelenting
father.
Taking her hand, he led her to the
stranger, who was already on his horso,
and assisted her to mount behind her
future husband. Taking the cago with
tho bluest of the birds, he watched
the retreating forms of the pair as tho
horso carried them swifter than the
wind, and when out of sight, ho pro
ceeded to join his guests. Tho com
pany were all gathered in knots dis
cussing the extraordinary powers of tho
bird, and all the events which had
taken place.
"Peace! peace!" cried tho lord of tho
castle, as he entered; "I will perform
more marvelous things than ever ho
did. I have given him my daughter to
wed in exchange for the bird, and this
bluo bird will render me more wealthy
than the King of Aragon. Approach,
and seo tho wonders I will work with
it."
He took the cage, and lifting It up to
look at the bird, was astonished to And
that It was not a blue bird at all, but a
largo gray bird, which turned to stare
at him In an insolent manner, gave a
fierce pock at the door of the cage with
Its beak, Hung it open and flew out of
tho window, uttering a terrible screech.
Tho lord of the castle stood with opon
mouth, not knowing what to do or say.
Ills guests broke out In peals of laugh
ter at his discomfiture and the well-deserved
punishment for his unseemly
avarice of exchanging his beautiful
daughter for a worfhloss bird.
Meanwhile, Bartolo was galloping on
with hla bride to the nearest town to bo
married, and when he arrived at tho
first hostelry ho wished to dismount and
engage tho most splendid suite of
apartments for his Intended bride, but
ho found himself utterly penniless.
He had not calculated that In parting
with the bird he had parted with his
luck, and therefore, as soon ns ho dis
mounted the horse disappeared, and
his elegant dress became changed for
tho shabby one he had worn beforo ho
met the kind individual who had
wished to befriend him. When tho
beautiful daughter of the lord of tho
castle beheld the transformation which
had taken place, she ran back to her
father as fast as she could, fright load
ing wings to her feet.
Bartolo had to return to bis old life
of making cages and to his miserable
existence.

"We spend moro for schools per head
than any nation in tho world. Urent

As 1 have said ten thousand times, tho

We ought to bo proud of it. We ought
to build moro schools, and build thetn
