THE ADVENTURE OF THE MASON
There was once upon a time a poor mason, or bricklayer, in Granada, who kept all the saints' days and holidays, and Saint Monday into the bargain, and yet, with all his devotion, he grew poorer and poorer, and could scarcely earn bread for his numerous family. One night he was roused from his first sleep by a knocking at his door. He opened it, and beheld before him a tall, meagre cadaverous-looking priest.
"'Hark ye, honest friend!' said the stranger; 'I have observed that you are a good Christian, and one to be trusted; will you undertake a job this very night?'
"'With all my heart, Señor Padre, on condition that I am paid accordingly.'
"'That you shall be; but you must suffer yourself to be blindfolded.'
