A narrowing tale comes across the
sea anent a young American girl who
was studying music in Florence. She
became i'll, and apparently from de-
sire not to worry any one, she strug-
gled against her increasing weakness,
and let no one know of her condition
She had been helpless and IN con-
siderable need of careful nursing for
some days, when one evening after
light had fallen, four black-robed
figures, with hidden faces and only
holes cut through the sOmbre cloth
for their eyes, appeared in her room.
Almost fainLlng from terror, she
made a frantic appeal for mercy, but
it only met with a low murmured re-
sponse, which did not reassure her
Finally the stretcher which they
brought was placed beside her bed
side, she was slipped on to it, cloth
was thrown over her and she felt her
self borne through the streets.
But not to a terrible dungen, as her
fevereG imagination supposed. When
she regained consciousness it was to
find herself in hospital ward, where
she received devoted care and atten-
tion. Later on she learned that her
case had come under the notice of the
famous Order of the MIsericode. and
its efficient, though mysteriously
alarming, ministration was the result
All ranks and conditions of Flor
entine society hold membership in
this order, and the shrouding robes
are worn so that service without os-
tentation may be rendered. 1t has
existed for hundreds of years.
