HOW A FAMOUS PICTURE SAVED
THE LIVES OF TWO CAPUCHINS

II is. rumored that J. Pierpont Morgan
has bought a piece Of history
The New York Press prints the story
that he has purchased another Muriilo
for his private gallery. II has history.
a marshal OF France was It's possessor
some seyenty-hye years ago, and being
asked one day where he discovered II
told this story:
1t is the cheapest picture in my en-
tire collection. II cost me just two
Capuchin friars. / found 1t in the
sacristy Of the convent church OF Bar
celona, when stationed there, and sought
in vain Ia buy IT OF the monks.
a holy trad!aiOn was connected with
its history, and neither brides nor
threats could induce them TO part with
H. However, my corps marched; guer-
TiIlas. as usual. lowered around; some
prisoners were made. among whom were
two of these monks. who were tried as
spies convicted and sentenced 70 i'm
mediate death.
I then recollected the Murillo. and
felt compassion for the unfortunate mis-
cTeants. So 1 dispatched a message 10
the general Of the order informing him
that my two holy prisoners under sen
tence or hanging were at his disposal
in exchange for MUriiio's production.
The following day the painting was
mine and the two Capuehins were
chanting "Te Deum' IN their church"
