yet hear the ghostly cawing of this
raven, although the incidents with
which the story deals happened 800
years ago.
Don Rodrigo, it seems, was very
rich and very wicked. He lived in a
palace and he and the raven dined
from gold and silver plate, but the
Don always went about in shabby
clothes, in spite of his riches. He
never went to church, and he made
fun of holy things. Suddenly he and
the raven both disappeared. On in

a sacred image that had been deflled
and was sprinkled with blood. From
this 1t was supposed that the raven
had beaten the image. until It had shed
the crimson fluid, and that Satan pun

began troubling her. 1t is supposed
that her punishment was to go
through eternity looking for her lost
children.
Frequently sihce then, it is said,
watchmen have seen a woman In
white, with a white mantilla over her
head, roaming through the streets at
night. Those who have inquired her
business have received an answering
INQUIRY as to where her children can
be found. The greatest misfortune
always overtakes those who question
her. Most of them are stricken dead
or become insane. This latter fate is
said to have overtaken gifted young

One story with a foundation in fact
is the legend OF Don Juan Manuel. AS
the tale survives in the folklore Don
Juan was an amiable enough gentle
man. except that he had a bad habit
of wandering out nights and murder
ing people His custom was TO ap-
proach somebody on the street, ask
him the time, and, when he replied.

I'll one night Don Juan killed his dear
" beloved nephew, whom he had not
recognized.
Stricken with remorse Don Juan
confessed to his priest, who for pen
ance ordered him to so alone at mid
night to a certain church. before
which was a gallows. and to tell his
rosary under the gallows. Three
nights he attempted to fulfill the COM
mand. but was driven back by the
groans of the persons he had muir
dered. After begging in vain for
lighter penance he finally reached his
goal under the gaiiaws. And then
angels from heaven came down and
hanged him.

AS a matter of history there was
such a person in Mexico in 1641 and
he was dishonest collector OF rev.
enues. He was Jailed, and, to secure
his liberty, his wife was compelled
to suffer incredible humiliations ct
the hands of Judge. Don Juan broke
prison, went to his home, found the
judge there, and stabbed him to
death. Later he was mysteriously
lynched one night before the church.
and from this grew the legend that
the angels had punished him for his
sins.
A striking story of ghostly revenge
Is the legend Of Don Juan de Nava,
priest and guardian of his orphan
niece, beautiful girl. A Portuguese
nobleman, Don Duarte de Sarraza, fell
in love with her, and she reciprocated
the attachment, but the priest reject
er Don Duarte because he was known
as a gambler. One night the priest
came upon Don Duarte talking to his
niece through her window. Duarte
struck the old man with his dagger,
which was imbedded In his skull, kill
ing him. He threw the body, dagger
and all, into a ditch Just one year
later Duarte was found dead at the
site of the crime. Kneeling over him,
one of its bony hands gripping his
body by the throat, was a skeleton in
priestly garments, with dagger stick
ing in its skull.
