fourth morning he had the satisfac-
ton of seeing the awful creature trail
its Shiny length into the woods~weak
with pain, never to encounter with st.
Leonard again. Yet the dragon had
left its marks. st. Leonard was
wounded and sore. for wherever the
dragons claws or tusks had struck
him his blood had flown upon the
leaves and earth.
But Heaven marked the spots and
sanctified them, turning the red to
white, transforming the drops of blood
to bell-like flowers which ring and
ring to attentive ears Pilgrims are
told that they may trace St Leonard's
encounter with the dragon in white
all about the wood, and that those
who listen carefully may hear the lily
bells of snow Ginning a round to vic
tory.

Little May Bells is one of it's names,

meaning tells itself in THE Tears of

In Sussex, England, where these
flowers are plentiful, we find the fol-

Leonard met the frightful dragon
called Sin. The dragon attacked him
with all his force. and for three days

times almost fainting. often desperate

Charm of a Rabbit Foot.

An explanation of the marvellous
and mysterious properties of the rab-
bit foot as a good luck piece is to be
found In the fact that w~itchcraft re-
garded the rabbit as a particularly
mystical animal. The favorite dis
guise of the witches of old was to takc
the form of a rabbit-a close second

Of women for the fearful crime OF
