are numerous votlve offerings, fam.

has miraculously cured. On one side,
too, is a pile OF old crutches, in sorry

In a secluded corner of the great
basilica is a picture, supposedly an au'

style is that of Giotto, and the paint
ing has been attributed to him. Two
figures kneel at the feet Of the saint,
who stands erect and extends his
hand In blessing. The grouping Is
stiff and the coloring crude, but the
expression OF Anthony's face Is mild
and beatihc. and as we move away,
we feel that his blessing has extended
down the centuries, even unto us.
