under an oak tree looking out over the
hills when he felt a touch upon his
shoulder. He turned with a start, for
he had heard no sound of any one ap-
preaching. Beside him stood stranger
wearing a long robe something like
priest in the village. only Father Johns
was gray, while the robe of the stranger
was black. His face was very pale
and the expression was so friendly that
stephen knew at once that he intended
no harm. What made him uneasy was
the look in the strangers eyes They
were large and black and full of a
peculiar fiery light that seemed to go
through and through him. He felt his
neart bound with joy and fear.
Stephen said the strange man in a
voice that thrilled the boys pulses.
Yes" Stephen said.
Listen to what I shall say to you
and obey"' said the stranger.
Yes" Stephen replied again. hold
ing HIS breath so as not to lose a word.
You will raise an army and lead it
to the Holy Land to save the Chris
tians there" said the stranger.
Il am only boy said stephen.
''How can I do this?"
"The army that you will raise will
be an army of youths like yourself" ="
the stranger replied. +It will not go
clad in armor, nor will il bear deadly
weapons. 1t will be an army of peace.
but it will win victories over the inf
dels greater than have been won by
the armies of war"
Stephens head was in a whirl and he
feared that he might be dreaming.
How may that be?' he asked.
Have no fearr' the stranger said.
when the infldels see the army of chill
dren advancing without weapons in
their hands they Will know their error
and embrace the faith. They will set
the captives free, and instead of en-
emies they will become friends Go
forth and bear the message that has
been given to your
whittier shall I go?" stephen asked.
ITO St. Denys," the stranger replied.
As he spoke the throbbing in Steph-
ems temples became so loud that the
voice sounded distant, although it still
remained clear. Then for a moment
the pastures became dark before his
eyes and he saw nothing. When his
sight returned the stranger in the black
robe was nowhere to be found. He
had disappeared as completely as
though he had vanished in the air. But
Stephens heart was filled with great
joy, for he knew what he had to do.
He collected his sheep and although
