Mass for the Repose of His Soul.
In Augustus J. {. Hare's reminis-
cences appears this tale of a knight
of Malta:
w bile at Monreale. the grand
semi-Saracenic cathedral on the
height behind Palermo. the author
of the "reminiscences was reminded OF
the experiences OF a certain Knight
OF Malta IN the church. One night.
by lnadVertence. the knight was lock-
ed in. Realizing his plight, he made
himself as comfortable as possible
and went to sleep. At midnight.
awakening In the moonlight. the
knight saw al preaching him from the
west door cowled figure in monas-
tic robes, and assumed with satisfac-
ton that he had been missed and
that one Of the monks of the adioin-
ing monastery was come to seek
him. As he watched the figure. how
ever, he noticed a peculiar movement:
it rather Heated than walked up the
nave, enVelOped in it's sweeping drap-
cries, and a. it passed. the stranger
heard a low. musical voice like
whistling wind. which said. l. there
no good Christian who will say
mass for my poor SOUL And the
figure passed on swiftly behind the
altar and did not return. As the
clock struck | the figure again float
ed up the nave. Is there no good
Christian who will say Il mass for
my poor sOul?' Then the Knight OF
Malta pursued the vanishing figure
to spot behind the altar. where it
disappeared altogether When the
clock struck the figure reappeared,
and, when 1t once more uttered the
words, viii no good Christian say a
mass for my poor soul?' the priest
soldier answered. 4 will. but YOU
must serve the mass; ii is we'll known
UHdb tISIe CttIi Dt no mass WITHOUT Il
server. The holy vessels were upon
the altar, and the sOldier-priest be-
gan the mass. Then the monk threw
back his cowl, and displayed a skull,
but he served the mass, which the
Knight OF Malta courageously went
through to the end, but then fell
down unconscious in front of the
altar. In the morning, when the
monks came into the church. the
stranger was found still unconscious
upon the altar steps. He was taken
INTO the convent, and when he came
to himself he told what had happen
ed. Search was made in the archives
OF the monastery, but nothing was
found to account for the occurrence
