Watching in the Graveyard

A NEW-MADE grave is watched for several nights,
lest it be disturbed by demons, and strangers who
lnger CuriOuSly in graveyard always suspected
of affecting the departed with the Evil Eye. Bees
told of a death the house, as was once usual
parts of this country; and at the sight of
falling star should cross himself gratitude
that soul has been released from PurgatOry.
FisherfOlk believe that on foggy nights a strange
ship may be seen from lonely cliffs, black ship with
a white sail. Her deck is crowded with melancholy
figures which look back weeping toward the shore,
and the sound of sobS is blown inland. The belated
fisherman shudders and hides his eyes; for he has
seen the Ship OF Death freighted with lost souls.
But it is the specter of the Templar, the Red
Monk as the Bretons call him. which haunts the
countryside most persistently Hated is the
memory of the Templar all France, it is SO

DAYS the fire is blessed with PRAYER,

the priest sprinkles holy water; but
the dance which follows has a touch

there is a refrain half heather in the

All lonely pools are haunted by
the kOrriganS, who dance at mid
night. They are tiny fair-haired
maidenS who vanish at the sound of
a Church-bell, the Wraiths of heather
prinCesSes who disdained Christian

sea-nymphs who steal children and
carry them out to sea; and the
dWarts, the GWazigans, who built the
menhlrs. They dance about them on
starry nights, singing a song which
runs, Monday, Tuesday, Wednes-

Naturally, folks whose ancestors have dwelt for

have outhved even their memory. Curious

have broken heads broken hearts which
