seized the weapons in their hands, cut

among the heaps of clothing, where their

Tall, agile, wild as a kangaroo, Gia-

every little while to make over his head

Then he advanced, intrepid, hatless for
the glory of Saint Pantaleon. About thir-
ty men followed him.
But soon defenders came from all sides
They were strong men, brown like mu-

aiming at the abdomen and the neck, ac-
companying each blow with cultural cries
Little by little the conbatants retreated
toward the church. Already the flames
appeared from the roofs of three or four
houses troop of women and children
escaped to the grove of olive trees.
Then debarred from weeping and lamen-

ferocity. Under the red sky the ground
was covered with corpses. Amidst the

But the strong oak door of the church
resisted the attack. The men of Mascalicc
defended it with their bodies The silver
saint, quiet in his whiteness, oscillated in
the midst of the fight, always sustained
by the four giants who, bloody from head
to foot, still kept up. The supreme desire
OF the assaulting party was to place their
saint on the altar of the enemy. And
while the men of Mascalico fought like
lions, Giacobbe, unnoticed went around
the church to see if he could discover an
undefended passage by which the sane
tuary could be entered. He noticed a
window not very far above the ground and
climbed up. AT first he was stopped by
his hips, in the narrow passage but he
twisted himself about until he succeeded
in squeezing through The perfumed in

wounds which ached and bathed his body

1t was the shout of the assauting par

After a supreme effort the door gave
way. The Radusians rushed in with
howl of triumph, trampling corpses I'M

saint toward the altar
A second battle began in the church I'M
der that reddish clearness which ightened
and grew dim by turns according to the
contorted bodies fell on the lagstones, I'M
der the benches In the aisles of the chapel
and i'll the corners of the confessionals. The
vaults of the divine building echoed clear
ly the chilly sound of the iron entering the
flesh or cutting the bones, the short groans
of a man struck in vital part and a blow
which cracked skull, together with the
belloWings Of a man who did not wish to
die, the atrocious laughter Of him who
wished to kill himself. And the sweet per-
fume of the incense doated over all.
But a body of the enemy defended the
altar, and the silver idol had not yet
achieved the glory OF being placed there.
Giacobbe, covered with wounds, fought
with his scythe nor retreated one inch from
the stair which he had conquered in the
first place. The saint had now only two
carriers and his enormous silver head os-
cillated like a drunken mask The men Of
Mascalico fought with the fury of desper-
alton
Then 1t happened that Saint Pantaleon
fell TO the floor with sonorous clank,and
as Giacobbe rushed to raise him, he was
felled by a blow on the spine with sickle
Twice Giacobbe rose to his feet, but two
