tender auspices of Saint Bernardino,,
led him not unwilling to the gate of
tnaaihood, which opened, to reveal
beyond the road of honor glittering
with feats of ehival;•y, and bordered
with the rich fruits of a high soul,
"After all these great -deeds, which
raised him to the king's royal favor
and to notable fame with the com-
mon people, lie, having wearied
somewhat of achievement and the
pleasures of the Court, betook him
to his castle, isieta, la Bella. The
fine ladies, to whom his courtesy
was as noised abroad as was his
prowess—but, indeed, to all women
was he the pink—languished for him
and sought his 'love; but of hire,
save courtesy, gat they nothing. For
God had so made him. that his heart
in love as in honor, aimed only at
the highest, and in his soul was he
bound to the High and Mighty Prin-
cess, Immanuela, the King's young-
est daughter, whose beauty and wis-
dom and modesty were so bruited,
that the report of her fired the
King of the Sicilies to send envoys,
humbly demanding her in marriage.
But this matter did. 1on Baldassare
keep in his' heart, showing it only
to the eye. of God which seeth all
things, because she, being a prin-
cess, could not, according to the
law, mix her blood with aught that
was not royal.
"Thus, when the envoys from the
Sicilies were being made much of by
the King, and they looked for his
favor, Don Baldassare sat in his
castle, Islets la Bella, dreaming of
mighty deeds done in his lady's
honor. And, walking, of an evening
on the battlements, musing, some
dream, greater than all others, took
him, and the end being happy, in
the dream he laid his prize at the
feet of his lady, uttering her name;
the which was heard of his oquire,
one Martinos Quexada, who, Tor a
merry jest, . made mention of the
matter in a writing to his sister in
the City of I'alnus. And she, having
previously made not maidenly offers
of love to Don Baldassare, the which
he courteously put from hint, and
being therefore roused against him,
took pains to toll the story to her
gossips. This 'she did little witting
that the Princess Immanueta, being
fashioned by God of a like high na-
ture to Don Baldassare, had looked
upon him with eyes of love, the
which she veiled, in sorrow by reason
of the law,
"Now, while the envoys from the
Sicilies were being entertained in
fitting fashion by the ICing, • there
came an expedition from Hispaniola,
to make war, and from all parts of
Palmetto the knights gathered with
their men. And the invaders•, were
driven back to the ships after
many hard blows and bloody com-
bats, and chiefest of all that bare
arms was Don • Balda$saro, surpass-
ing in prowess brave knights double
his • years, and his were five and
twenty. Him, too, did the envoys.
commend in especial as 'the noblest
knight and the most worthy; and,
out of honor to them, as well as of
his own grace, ,did the Icing sot Don
Baldassare by his right hand at the
feast:
At that same feast did the Ding
hear whispered the matter . Senor
Quoxada had written of to his sister
and with hot words did demand of
Don Baldassare to speak truth
forthright; who, changing counten-
ance with sorrow before so great a
gathering, yet spoke truth boldly.
Whereupon the Icing upbraided' him,
and to make the more scorn of him,
demanded of the Princess Imranue
la how she did regard his so "great•
presumption. . To which she, with
sweet grace and modesty : `Dear.
father and my lord, I cannot find
it in inc to speak so harsh a word.
Rather do 1 count it honor to. bo
loved by knight so perfect.' And
the King-, 'watching her close, saw
that her heart spoke, and he laugh-
ed bitterly, 'And thou ?' he cried;
'and thou ?' To which the Prin-
cess : `Yea, father, I do me honor
in that I do love this man.'
"Whereat the King bade end the
feast, And, in the night he sent cer-
tain. men privily to slay Don Bald-
assare, and !Jim they slow. And the
Princess the King sold unto the Sic-
ilies, whence,.'after not many' days,'
she followed him she loved into the
glory and peace of the saints."

Many years. We thoroughly- believe in
fumigation, as it is, the most practi-
cal and effective method yet devised
for killing insects, but it must be
properly administered. The orchard-
ist should insist upon his trees receiv-
ing expert attention. Many thous-
ands of dollars have been spent al-

good has been done. • But there is
not the slightest chance of ever exter-

state where it gets well established;
its natural spread cannot be stopped,
and at best, inspection and the burn-
ing of the worst infested trees can

Fumigation is now the most effec-

expensive for the average fruit grow-
er. It would some to us a legitimate
work for the state to invest in the
expensive apparatus necessary for
fumigation work in orchards and have
