The ns interrupted him; O fool, brainless creature that you nre! From morning until now you have not cc.ietl to run, and bustle, and ' brush through the thicket, and ehas over the mountains, to take what littli you took. And I, lying here nnd taking my pieithuie, luvo caught nml eaten much that I am ju.st ready to hurst a you mav eax.ly see. And to prove to you that I am not telling Idle stories, I have kept tills fat hiid a a morsel (or you, which for the love of me, beg you vv ill ueeepl. Tlte lion tlm liked (lie as for the bird nnd then went away, reolved never ngiin to tucMuit himself before the oas. While ou hi way lie met tt wolf running at groat sliced. Tlte Hod stopped him with the inquiry: Where are jou going so fast, comrade wolf? "On impel taut I must b nt n certain place I his very hour, so dont trouble me, replied the wolf. Iut the lieu, believing that the wolf was rushing Into danger, begged him to go no farther.

Ill toiee I like thunwould fly before It. der; any hen-Thti he doe the most wonderful thing, lie I a monarch before whom nil ntut tremble. The wolf knew that the lion spoke of Hit' nss, ami said to him: "Don't be nfiald. It I only an nss, the most contemptible animal ever created, good for nothing but to boar burden and blow. As for me, I havB eaten In my time more than a hundred of them. Come with me. Wo limy go safely, a 1 shall show you. Go, my friend, If it seem good to you. said tho lion; "for my part, I am satisfied with vvliat I have seen. But prevailed on tho lion to accompany him on condition that they should not separate from cadi other; and to make litis sure, thoynied their tails together. Then they started towards the ns, who seeing them at a distance, nnd being afraid was jnst about to tty, when the lion, pointing him out to the wolf, exclaimed: brother! Fee him coming Fee, straight for us! Let us not wnit, for he will kill us. I know hi fury. The wolf burned with the desire to attack tlte' ass. Bo quiet, lie said to the lion, he quiet, I entreat you, und lime no fear. It Is only nti nss. But the lion, more frightened tlmn ever, plunged through the most tangled thickets aud leaped Jhe widest ditches. While lie was breaking through a thick hedge, a thorn toie open hi left eye. Sueli was hi frigid that he thought the nml still hurt came from Brnm-aHonHying on, exclaimed to the wolf: Didn't I tell jou righilj, (oitirade? Run! Run! Run faster! lie has put out one of my eye. And still flying he (bagged the poor wolf against the sharp rocks, and through the most dangerous places, till the poor creature died of his bruises 1 ll Dy W LLfAM S. n run once lived lu ior-- 1 tugal, about two days 0 4- o Journey from Lisbon, a ft miller who hud uu ass, " lilcli like other asses, had very long ears, thick Ups und a voice that made the whole country resound. Ills fare was so poor and mean that he was but a skeleton, and could no longer bear his burden. Then he was beaten every day by tbe miller, who tried to make him do what was beyond ids power. At last he ran away from bis master, nml went long niul far, tlil be came to the foot of a mountain, so verdant nml pleasing In nil things, that he resolved to remain there for the remainder of ids days. He looked all around him to see if there was anything to be feared and then boldly ascended the mountain, where nt liis pleasure he grazed upon the fine gram) before him, thanking God that he 1yd been delivered from the hands of the wicked and cmel tyrant of a miller and put Iu sweet grass up to his knees to sustain his miserable life. While he was satisfying his appetite, a proud lion approached, who marvelled greatly at the holdings of the nss lu having come to feed upon the mountain without license. And having never before seen such an animal, the lion was afraid of him and dared not pass him at first. On the other hand, the seeing the lion, was so much alarmed that his hair bristled nml stood up. lie no longer dared bend Ids neck to cat the grass, nor even move from his place. Flnnllv, the lion, growing confident, approached tin nss and said to him: What are you doing here, comrade? What has made you so hold ns to come here? Who nre you? To whom the ass replied: And who nre you yourself that ask me this? Then the lion, astonished at this proml reply, nnsvveied: I am the king of all the animals. What Is your name? demanded the ass. They call me lion. And what is your name? The ass with restored confidence, replied: .

RCE, M. D. Do you ask me why I upbraid you? I wish you to know that you have deprived me of the greatest pleasure I ever received. You thought perhaps that 1 was suffering, while 1 was ravished with delight. "Wlnit kind of delight ?" asked the lion. It was on purpose that I landed on the log, my forefeet on one side and nty hind feet on the other, that I might balance mjself, aud know which Is heaviest, my head or my tail. You nre indeed a cunning creature," 1 never answered the lion. would have believed wlmt 1 do of jou. If I bad not leaned by my own observation.

Going furl her oil, they eauio to a wide and river. . said tho linmenlion, my friend, lion, "it you are willing, we will again try our strength and dexterity in swimming lids river. I am willing, said Branrnllou, but I want to seo you swim across before I do. Tho lion, wllo was a good sw immer, crossed the river in les-- than no time. Standing on tho opposite shore, he called out: "lSrnncnllmi, w hat are you doing over there? Why dont you swim over? Courage! Courage! I am waiting for . you. The poor nss throw himself into the water and svvnui to the middle of the river, where overcome by Ibc force of the current an the waves, Id. in ad went under and ho soon sank entirely out of sight. The lion knew not wlint to do, fearing on the one hand that the ns would drown, nnd on the other, that if he helped him, lie might again he angry, and ki'l him. lie finally decided to help him, nnd plunged Into the stream and caught him by the tall, which he pulled so long nnd vigorously that he suer ceded in getting him ti the bank. Tbe ns, finding himself on land, safe from the terrible waves, put himself Into a passion ns before ami abused the lion. Traitor! Wretch!" he exclaimed, you are my evil spirit, depriving nte of all that I enjoy. Ah nte! When shall I again Dive such enjoyment? The lion tried Ho excuse himself, saying: Comrade, my dear friend, I was afraid you would drown In the river. That Is why I dievv you out. I thought 1 was doing you a favor instead of displeasing yon." Keep silence, I pray yon." said the Hut tell me, If you can, wlint ass. profit or pleasure you luid In ww Itumlug the river? None, answered the lion. See If I had none," returned the shaking the water from Ids long ears nnd body. Then seeing n little fish Do fall nt hi feet, he exclaimed: yon see now, you great Mixkhoml, vvliat you have done? If I lmd only been allowed to go to the bottom of the river, I should nt my cne anil pleasure have taken n multitude of those fishes, I warn yon now not to Interfere wlili me any more. If you do not wMi to make me your enemy, which would not be well for you, I assure you. Whenever you think me dead or In danger of death.

Tho next morning they were nwnke nt the first dawn of light, nnd agreed to go hunting, the lion in one direction, the ns In another, and to meet again at a certain hour nnd plnre, when the imp who had captured the most game, was to lie king of the mountain. . The lion went Into the deepest part of the forest, where he felled and nte much prey; the went to n farm where lie saw the barn door open, nnd ii great pile of oats on (he biru floor, lie entered without leave, nnd ate so much oat that he was ready to burst, lie then ripiiba-- to the place where he was to rm-ethe Uuti nml lay down.

( Nevertheless, I am of the opinion that we would better prove each other. These words so puffed up the ass that lie turned ills hack upon the lion, threw his hind legs Into ihe air nml brayed very furiously to the great surprise of the lion. The evening now being nt hind, the lion said to the as: We will repose now, brother, nml tomorrow morning prove our strength and skill. lie who then shows hltu-al- f lies able to do three things which I shall propose, shall lie bud of the mountain. To which the nss agreed. The morning came, and they arose nnd went forth In company till they arrived at a deep and wild dlteb. Then the lion said to the .ts: Urn nonlion, 1 am your friend, but 1 shall never be nt rest till I know your power and skill. Do me the plensiu, I beseech you, now that tho presents Itself, to let me see which of us can best leap this ditch.' Saying this, lie bounded to the other side.
