knowing how long it would last. Just why their atheistic landlord permitted, them to stay in their quarters, and in a way protected them, they never knew. Perhaps it was pity for their seeming defenselessness, perhaps it was out of real admiration of their bravery, or perchance a daring feat of his own. However, when they were in their own rooms they were able to enjoy quietness and a measure of security. • The next day after their witness of the feast, William, who had been up half of the night and longer, discussing the affair of the evening before, remained in bed, complain ing of great weariness and saying that a rest would set him right. He begged Randall to stay at home that day until things began to be more quiet. Randall, indeed, was plan ning to stay by his friend’s side, for he realized, if William did not, that his chum was ill as well as tired. Randall felt sure he was feverish, but not wishing to alarm his friend he said nothing. The landlord, Sr. Yirgilo, who was an educated Peruvian and a man who secretly repudiated the paganized Roman ism which held the mass of the Indians and most of the Peruvians in thrall, came in toward evening to pay his tenants a call. He told them with many protestations of regret that when that week was ended he would have to refuse them rental of the rooms longer, as the priests had made such alarming threats' to the Prefect that the latter commanded him to refuse to house them longer. Sr. Yirgilo, seeking to entertain the young men, related many incidents of the credulity of the Indians. One young woman desiring a husband and not having been able to obtain one, sought the assistance of the priest. He told her that for a sum equalling twenty-five dollars he would permit her to take home an image of San Antonio and keep him for a month, during which time she should constantly offer prayers and burn candles before him. This she did, but even though the priest was active in trying to persuade some unmarried man to take her for a wife, at the end of the month she had not obtained her request. She de manded her money hack, but of course did not receive it, and some weeks later when the bishop, wishing to make amends and knowing the folly of trying to get the priest to return the money that he had already spent, decreed that San Antonio should he publicly whipped. This was done, a straw whip being used, and amid the groanings and weep ings of a number of old women, he was given thirty lashes on his bare back. Needless to say, the plaster image was not hurt in the least. One other time San Antonio was pun ished by a woman who failed to obtain the request she desired of him, and this time the image was submerged in a vessel of water until he should repent. In the morning only the loosened particles of piaster lay in the bottom of the vessel. William and Randall were appalled at the thought of these thousands of people putting their trust,’ their hope of happiness, in plaster images which had to be punished to make them behave. Their hearts burned within them to go out and tell them of an omnipotent God who .hears and answers the prayers of His children, to tell them of a Sav iour who longs to save them from their sins; and now the way seemed to close between them and their desire. They decided ere they slept, that they would start on the trip to search out a place for a farm as soon as their week was up, but when morning came the trip was out of the question for some time to come. William was unquestionably sick with small-pox, that dread disease that lurks where filth and dirt abound. Sr. Virgilo with difficulty obtained permission for them to. remain in the city until William recovered, provided neither of the two men should seek to proselyte among the
