patronage the town of Magdalena an effigy of the saint was being transported from California to a city farther in the interior, and the muleteers carrying it in their train along with other merchandise, un- loaded and camped for the nightin the plaza in front of the church, which was then an open common. The following morning when they came to reload theirtcargo, the box containing the effigT, which up to that time had be6h easily moved about by, two persons, could not possibly be lifted. z First two made the effort then three, and finally as many as could get around the box, but without avail. Then some one suggested that the saint wanted
 to locate in the church, and it was agreed that if he could be lifted

that should be done. Whereat with the next effort it was lifted with ease, and with thanksgiving and praise, borne into the sacred edifice, where it has ever since re- posed, with one exception.
 Fame of the miracle here related spread far and wide, and the church of San Francisco Javier at Magdalena became holy shrine, which hundreds of thousands of the devout have visited to their great moral and spiritual edifca- tion.
 The exception mentioned above carries another legend. It is re- lated that with the lapse of years people began to lose their faith in the power and efficacy of the saint, and that the annual attendance was regularly and surely diminish ing. So one morning, while the usual observance was in full course, but with a very small attendance, to the horror of the populace the saint had disappeared; and no one knew where he had gone. Alter a couple of days word came from Ca borca, about 100 miles away, that upon the nighto its disappearance from Magdalena the saint had ar rived at the church at Caborca, the dust-stained feet and garments con

you are built that way. The prizes are remission of sin, good luck in this world and eternal beatitude in the world to come. Those who wish articles of wearing apparel or per- sonal adornment to come in contact with the image, bring them to the attendant and they receive the sacred touch, which means more dollars.
 Sometimes party of penitents, or people who have made VOWS (usually women) will form in pro cession on the other side of the town, and each with a lighted, long wax taper in her hand, will walk across the town on their knees to the door, into the church and up to the bier, depositing thereon their tapers, which are extinguished at the time, and making each good ly offering of money. Eight years ago the writer counted in one such procession thirty women, all dressed in black, all marching on their knees, and all bearing lighted wax tapers. The progress of the process sion was slow and painful.
 Through more than half cen tury now has this annual fiesta taken place at Magdalena. It is related that at the time the saint took under his benevolent
