FUNERAL or Plus TX.
The Body Lay In State Four Days In tho
Chapel of the Sacrament.

1t was In the Chapel of the Sacrament
that the body of the good Pope Plus X
was laid in state for several days That
was Il strange and solemn sight too The
gates of the church were all shut but one,
and that was only "a little opened, so that
the people passed in one at time from the
great, wedge shaped crowd outside--a
crowd that began at the foot of the broad
steps In the piazza, and struggled upward
all the afternoon closer and closer toward
the single entrance For in the morning
only the Rcman mobiles and the prclatcs
and high ccclesiastics were admitted by
another way
Within the church the thin stream Of
men and women passed quickly between n
double file of Italian soldiers That was
the first and last time since 1870 that Ital-
ian troops were under arms within the
consecrated precincts. 1t was still winter
and the afternoon light was dim, and it
seemed long way to the chapel The
good man lay low. with his slippercd feet
between the bars Of the closed gate The
people paused as they passed, one by one,
and most of them kissed the embroidered
cross and looked at the still features before
they went on. 1t was dim, but the six tall
waxen torches threw "a warm light on the
quiet face and the white robes reflected it
around.
There were three torches on each side,
and on each side too, there were three
Noble guards in fun dress, notionlcss, with
drawn swords, as though on parade But
no one looked AT them Only the marble
face, with its kind, faraway SMILE fixed
itself in each mans eyes, and its memory
remained with each when he had gone
away. 1t was very solemn and simple, and
there were no other lights in the church
save the little lamps about the confessional
and before the affairs The long, thin
stream Of people went on swiftly, and out
by the sacristy, all the short afternoon, till
IL was night, and the rest Of the unsdtis-
fed crowd was left outside as tho single
gate was CLOSED Marion Crawford il Cen
