THE PRICE of A NIGHT'S] ENTERTAINMENT j o lOriyin.il 1 Oil"' evening more than i w.i and a half CPiilurlMi ago a man stopped at a peasant's cottage in the neighhorho id of Seville nnd asked for a night's lodging. A j mug girl openc 1 tlw* < mr and hado lilni enter. The stranger was -.0 struck with tier tammy that he scareely heard her say; "Stieli as we have to otVor. sen >r. wo will give eheerfnlly. hnt it w ry I t lln." Willi Ins ''jw still fixed en the .

Teresa wont out looking \ > ry much mortified. she had nndersio >d tin* stranger to n<Ii for llio treatment of a guest ami had wish oil so to grant his request. Tin* strancor nmlevst xxl the old woman's iivarioo, hut said n ?iIiin^r. lit* tlid not oveu promise to pay for his entertainment. Teresa got up a g?>l supper. <?f whioh llio stranger p:irln?k heartily. ami after it was over ami she was washing tin* dishes he sat with the mother. "Your (laughter has a rare beauty." he said. "Do you think so'* We a!! eons: ler her beautiful. She should make a line match wllli such beauty. Yet ail the money she Is i.? gtu i-. o.oco ji..i:.?? . She is engaged to a nierehant of Seville, iind that Is ail he will give, lie should give twice as much. ( >)???: h., since he is lift.v years old. while she is hut seventeen." During the evening, while the stranger was sitting with the mother and daughter, there was a timid knock i t tin* door, and a young man bu; a few year*1 older than Teresa came in. Th stronger noted tf*** expressions on : II three fairs and trad n story in the-a. The old woman scow lit I furi nisp,.

Teresa we'll I i tin* door with I:I:.i. and the strainer, who had sharp ears, heard their parting words; furies, we must he resigned. Mot'i r will never .omen) to my marrying witliont mouoy." "I eannot Ihi resigned l ? -it?*li a fate 1 shall seek death either in the hull ring or as n ?ml'fior '' Then there was a loin; si|i i and the stranger knew that "I eresa w in Carl >s" arms. The next heard was Teresa's footstep on tilt' stairs j?oii it to her room. In the morning tiefore rising I'r no the breakfast to hh the si rani; r sahl; "Sen >ra. 1 ; i i sorry to sty that I have tin sufficient funds with me to discharge my iinlebtedness. tail I tliink that [ ran sutruest a way hy vvhi? 11 y-n: eau he paid.

So it w.is agreed iltnt Teresa should p-> into the ' city every day when hidden til! the picture should he finished. He fore the stranger departed lie said lliat if Tore sn should choose the portrait Instead of her pay as model it should he hers. This thn w the old woman into a pas sjon. and slio aroused the stranger ?>f intending to pay nothing in tlit* end. Teresa was pmutual at lite sittinp*. and quite oft. tt tin- tirtist summoned ?'nrlos fi-i well, saying that lie desired to en It out her host xpresslon. When flic w irk v as finished Teresa, advised hy (lie r.rti?t withouf consulting her mother, elmse it instead of her pay as model. The artist put the portrait up for her at auction. If happened that I?oti Miguel de ito hera, to whom Teresa was to he sold, saw the picture on exhibition, tin the day of the sale he went to the auetion. where n throng of bidders were eol leeled. and when the sale commenced ho hid as hisrh as a thousand oldlii.-.

Tlu* lovers nlm had no idea tiiat the painting wn-iltl bring much more than was duo T? re?n as model, could not understand what all this furore moatii. Indeed, Teresa was so confused that "lie did not know at m lint price the portrait hud lift.n sold. Carlos knew and stood with . singular expression on his face. Teresa was now rich for a pons ant and could marry whom she pleas ed. Rut would she marry so poor a person as himself? The artist took the couple to a side room and explained the matter. Terc sa threw herself Into Carlos' arms. "Rut why did the picture fetch so much?" asked Teresa. TLu artist ook them back to the auction room md pointed to tho name painted iu the come? of tho portrait? JAuriUo. ALICE L'OEJEVEIl.
