for though the mass had missed him a
single stone struck him across the mid

him to the foot of the first flight, hut

When all was finished and the dust

Having picketed the mules where

When Easter Egg. Meant Marriage.

In the 10th century if a girl accepted
an Easter egg from a man it was consid-
cred to mean the plighting of her troth
to him. Moreover. it set date for the
wedding, or approximately, as it was
equivalent to a promise to marry him
before st. Johns day, which comes the

One of their number was talking to
Don Pedro, apparently urging some

Two minutes, it was but short time,
