The Sign of the Cross
BY Rene Maizeroy.


- n December Is. 1908, the day
after Christmas, we left for
Saragossa with the colors and
/ two battalions. The men were all
/ picked veterans Of dauntless courage
who were eager to fight this hither-
/ to indomitable Palafox, who deserved
/ to be fighting under the eagles Of the
great emperor.
The sky had cleared and a sharp
wind agitated the leafess branches
/ of the trees. The only sounds heard
were the rhythmic tramp of the march
I ing soldiers and the roll Of the drums.
The peasants fled before US as il we
were gang of cutthroats and the de-
serted villages looked like metropolis.
In vain we raped on the closed shut
tiers and doors, all marked with a black
cross. in vain we tried 10 get forage
or provisions, in vain we sought a re-
liable guide. Not g soul did we see,
not even a beggar mumbling his
prayers at the roadside, not a chimney
was smoking. not rooster was crow
ing the whole country was dead and
silent IS II plague had preceded US
Great was therefore our surprise,
when at CaSa-R eyna, where we halted
the local authorities, in full gala with
clOaks and wigs, accompanied by their
wives and ladies in holiday dress, came
out TO meet US and greeted US with
every sign Of joy as II we were most
welcome and honOred guests. They
were led By q ghOstly looking chap
lain and a venerable abbess The
chaplain was a little more than a skel--
etOn, while the abbess was short stout
and of a most florid complexion. Like
an automaton the priest stepped for
ward and read a flOurishing speech
OF welcome in bad church latin. The
men in our ranks burst out laughing
