THE PRICE of A NIGLT'S
ENTERTAINMENT
[Original!
Oue evening more than two and a
half centuries ago a man stopped at a
peasant's cottage in the neighborhood
of Seville and asked for a night's lodg
ing. A young girl opened the door und
bade him enter. The stranger was t-o
struck with ner beauty that he scarcely
heard her say:
"Such as we have to offer, senor, we
will give cheerfully, but It Is very lit
tle."
With his .eyes still fixed on the girl
the strauger entered the living room,
vhcre Bat an old woman, her mother,
vho brought to bear on him a pair of
cunniug eyes, as if to learn whether
lie bad means to pay for bis entertain
ment. The stranger was well dressed,
and the old woman,' judging that he
had money, said:
"We are very poor, senor, but judg
ing that you will not let us suffer for
the night's entertainment we will take
you in. Teresa, go and prepare the
room for guests."
Teresa went out looking very much
mortified. She had understood the
stranger to ask for the treatment of a
guest and had wished so to grant his
request. The stranger understood the
old woman's avarice, but said nothing
He did not even promise to pay for his
entertainment. Teresa got up a good
supper, of which the stranger partook
heartily, and after it was over and she
was washing the dishes he sat with the
mother.
"Your daughter has a rare beauty,"
he said.
"Do you think so? We all consider
her beautiful. She should make a fine
match with such beauty. Vet all the
money she Is to get is 2,000 philips.
She Is engaged to a merchant of Se
ville, and that Is all he will give. He
should give twice as much, especially
since he is fifty years old, while she Is
but seventeen."
During the evening, while the stran
ger was sitting with the mother and
daughter, there was a timid knock at
the door, and a young man but a few
years older than Teresa came in. The
stranger noted the expressions on all
three faces and read a story in them.
The old woman scowled furiously. The
daughter cast pathetic glauees at the
newcomer and appealing glances at
her mother. The young man was the
picture of despair. The story told was j
that the younj; people loved, but the i
man having po money to give th?
mother would not grant her consent.
The rest had been given by the nutb
er when she said that Teresa had been
sold for 2.000 philips.
The stranger sat quietly watching
all this. The mother vainly tried to i
freeze out the young man, but he liung j
on in spite of her scowls for an hour. |
when he arose and took his leave. I
Teresa went to the door with him,
and the stranger, who had sharp ears,
hoard their parting words:
"Carlos, we must be resigned. Moth
er will never consent to my marrying
without money."
"I onunot bo resigned to such n fate.
I shall seek death pither In the bull
ring or as a soldier."
Then there was a long silence, and
the stranger knew that Teresa was in
Carlos' arms. The next heard was j
Teresa's footstep on the stairs going to j
her room.
In the morning before rising from tho
breakfast table the stranger wild:
"Senora, I am sorry to soy that I j
have not sufficient funds with me to
discharge my indebtedness, but I think
that I can suggest a way by which you |
can be paid. I am an artist of Seville. '
If your daughter will git for me for
Lit portrait I will pay a phllip for
each sitting."
"And how many sittings will you re
quire ?" asked the old woman greedily.
??Twenty to thirty."
The old woman's features that had
taken on a severe expression when the I
stranger said he could not pay relaxed, j
Even 20 philips would be far in ex
cess of his Indebtedness. So it was
agreed that Teresa should go into the
city every day when bidden till the
picture should be finished. Before the j
stranger departed he said that if Tore- '?
sa should choose the portrait instead of
her pay as a model It should be hers, j
This threw the old woman Into a pas- !
sion, and she accused the stranger of
Intending to pay nothing in the end.
Teresa was punctual at the sittings, !
and quite often the artist summoned S
Carlos as well saying that he desired i
to call out her best expression. When
the work was finished Teresa, advised !
by the artist without consulting her
mother, chose it instead of her pay as
model. Tho artist put the portrait up
for her at auction.
It happened that Do* Miguel de Re
bera, to whom Teresa was to be sold,
saw the picture on exhibition. On the
day of the sale he went to the auction,
where a throng of bidders were col
lected, and when the sale commenced
he bid as high as a thousand philips.
But the bidding wmt far above this,
and the picture was at last knocked
down for 10,000 philips.
The lovers, who had no idea that the
painting would bring much more than
was due Teresa as model, could not
understand what all this furore meant
Indeed. Teresa was so confused that
she did not know at what price the i>or
trait had been sold. Carlos knew and
stood with a singular expression on his
face. Teresa was now rich for a peas
ant and could marry whom she pleas
ed. But would she marry so poor a
person as himself?
The artist took the couple to a side
room and explained the matter. Tere
sa threw herself Into Carlos' arms.
"But why did the picture fetch ?o
much?" asked Teresa.
The artist took them back to the auc
tion room and pointed to the nam#
painted in the corner of the portrait?
