and leaving Roauebrune village behind
her she went down the path.
There the Virgin came upon an aged
peasant resting ncF weary DOuy on -

sadded with It's pack OF twigs which she
had been gathering in tho mountain
woods. At the approach OF Mary the
peasant arose and offered her seat on the

- much tho younger. she carried the

VIRGIN accented the offer and repOsed
