In the old city of Lisbon there dwelt a long time ago a young man named Apuone Fraga. Every ore knew of his thafts and robberies, and many complaints of him were made to the provost, or magistrate, by per: sons whose goods he had stolen, yet he always escaped punishment. But it was in his favor that he never stole or robbed for avarice, but to be able to show his liberality and bounty to those who were kind and obliging to him. And as he was affable, agree- able and facetious, the liked him so well that would not be a single day without his company. It happe=ed that once when Antone was sitting at table with him, amus- ing him with different rs, he told him among of a young man who was Sc that there was notinng so carefully hidden and guarded that he would not find It, and stealthily carry it away. Hear ing the provost said to him: “The young man speak is perhaps not other than y self, but if you can r¢ the bed whereon I gle you my faith give golden pesas.” When Antone Fraga words, ha was greatly made answer: “Sir, I perceive that you esteem me a thief, although I am not one, but sarn my living by toil and industry and spend my days as best I can. But if it is your pleasure to me, { am content to obey ¥ for the sake of that friend have always borne and Having said this he {| parted, and spent the remainder of the day in thinking how he could rob the provost of his bel without being caught. He devised this On that very day there had wretch who had been |! shurch of Saint Marle ne Was and dug up the corpse the grave dress a t In own garments which fitted that any one taken the poor wretch Antone himself This done, he bore him upon his shoulders to the place where the pro- vost lived, and mounted with him, by a lalder, to tha roof. He then dexterously removed the tiles, and with his tools made an opening to the chamber where the provost was lying, who was not asleep, but heard distinctly all that Antone was doing, awaiting the moment when he would try to rob him of his saying to himself: “Do your worst, Antone Fraga, for I assure you you shall not have my beg tonight.” While tha nrovost was thus waiting with open eyes and ears, Antone let | the dead body iall through the hole | In the roof. It came down upon the floor of the provost’'s chamber with | uch a noise as to frighten him, and believing that Antone had fallen, | since he saw his garments, he blame? | himself, and exclaimed, — “Alas! what have 1 done? Behold, | by my foolishness I have caused the | death of this man. What will they | say of me when they know that he | Yes dead In my house? How guarled and prudent ought men to be!” He then knocked at the door of his | servant's chamber and having awak- | ened him, told him of his lamentable difficulty, and prayel him to dig a hole in the garden in which to bury the dead body, that there might be no scandal about the matter, While | the provost and servant were busy! about the burial, Antone let him- ! self Jown hto the chamber by means | provost he matte things other tals whom you our- b me ep, | pr you & hundred tonight of omlise {0 hoo these heard troubled, and destroy yaar will, Ship I still be r de POOT else gound asleep, ppe i off his well clothes, 80 might have to be bed, of a cord, and having bound the bed | into a bundle easily bore it away. 80 soon, as he the dead body was buried and the provost returnei to lie down in his chamber, he perceived that his bed was gone, at which he was greatly astonished.
