exclaimed; "There goes a sister P.
Next it is set forth that a booV
was brought to her " and, though
she dould not read the small char
acters, tshe ; could see the ; white
pages and the" colors ,of , the pic.
tares. A second time she entered
the crypt of the church and th
relic again waa rubbed acre 8S her

A. H. Flasherty, of Providence,
