CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK ]

The steps led to a series of vaults which seemed to be directly under the chancel, some of them being stored with various church appurtenances and others having the appearance of secret tribunals. 1 afterward learned that in former days faint reflection Of the inquisition had given the island a nameless horror to sundry travellers between Acapulco and the Philippines --gobernadors who had grown too sud- denly rich and the like. The vaults were connected by narrow and foul passages, after going through several of which we came to a chamber that apparently served as the church cata- comb. There were number of niches around the walls, and in each was the mummifed figure of a padre in semi reclining position, similar to those in the Capuchin cemetery at Rome; the cowls and gray robes indicated their connection with the Franciscan order, so was not surprised at this; though, from Halstead's story, had expected to find the bodies inclosed in sar- cophagi.
 While we were looking about the place, Padre Bartolomeo gave me a general introduction to the figures in the niches, as brothers who had held his position in former years. ltwas an easy matter to appear interested-I was really afraid of seeming too much so-and l asked the name of a venera- ble mummy with an iron-bound chest, trusted and blistered with age, resting upon his attenuated' stomach.
 That is the blessed Fray Ignacio, senor," he said, 'the most worthy of all the brothers who have lived in the islands. Because of his great goodness and his labors among the natives, it was ordered by the lord bishop at Ma nila that he should forever be the guardian of our sacerdotal records. We do not make history very rapidly here; so that box which he holds is suf- 1cient to contain them all. Possibly, a hundred years from now, we shall construct for him larger chest upon which he may recline."
 "But have you no fear that your doc nmeDts may some day be stolen, under the impression that the chest contains tables? These islands were named, as you know, with some reason"
 s'Very true, senor; but he would be rash man who would brave the ven geance of Holy Mother church by such sacrilege. There are none in the archipelago who would attempt such thing; besides, the records would be of no value to un heretico; they are but our secret history"
 And that, I presume, your orders would forbid your showing to even so profound a student and churchman as the Padre Sebastiano, unless you were so directed by the bishopr"
 Well, one would scarcely say so much as that. To layman, or un heretico, no-under no circumstances. But e Padre Sebastinno--that, you see. is different. It is la gran honra that he does visit us."
 ''l see, see. had forgotten for the moment how near he stood to the bishop" This was a chance shot, but I could see by the padres deferential manner that it had gone home.
 We presently retraced our steps to the upper world, and when we saun-
