An Old Jewish Legend
From AVignon

SeVeral centuries nave dlIedQy
passed since there existed large
Jewish Congregation at Avignon,
the whi1om residence of Popes. The
Jews were huddled together in mar
row, dirty quarters on the shores
of the Rhone and they risked their
lives when they emerged from them.
On beautiful autumn's after
noon, a poor Jewish woman, on
whose wrinkled facial lines were
written the grief and trouble that
aged her prematurely, ventured out
side of the ghetto to enjoy the bene
fit Of the suns warm rays, because
the high walls and narrow streets
of the ghetto did not let the suns
beams dispense to the pitiab1e in
habitants the blessing of heat.
Hesitatingly and timidly did the
old woman move along, because she
had to expect every moment to be
recognized by the inimica1ly dis
posed inhabitants and to be tor
mented as a Jewess. but she reach
ed the square of the Papa1 residence
without being molested.
She sat down upon one of the
numerous benches hid between bos-
quets, cycling wistful1y the life and
hustle of the crowds of people and
looking with admiration at the we'll
dressed dignitaries of the Church
entering and leaving the palace She
pictured herself the contrast be-
tween those princes Of the Church
who rode in magnificent coaches, in
their gold and silver embroidered
vestments. beaming with health and
vieor, and their unhappy core1ig-
ionists who rise in the morning
from their poor touches sorrow
laden and care-worn and retire at
night with grief and pain at the ter
rih1e fate that WEIGHED them down.
which. however, thew accepted with
humility as coming bv the dispersal
ton of an a11-wise God.
''It mist be So" she said to her
self, "God is gracious and just. He
has oiven us such numerous proofs
of His love and mercy and appar-
emily has withdrawn His hand from
us, but surely has not abandoned
us entirely.
But oh our sufferings are very,
very great, when will He at last
take pity on us, and-"
Suddenly her thoughts were in

IT'S

enough, as II by magic, the bowling
crowd dispersed at the sight of her
protector.
He did not go away after restor-
ing her courage, but tried to find
the cause of the sudden collapse of
the poor woman and of the singing
pain with which she was attacked.
His hand disappeared in the rags of
the old woman and when he drew
it forth he grasped one of those dis
gushing insects which, in spite of
all precautions, propagate in those
damp, badly ventilated, squalid
novels, the plague of the inhabi-
tants
The woman uttered cry of Joy
and relief when the pain stopped as
suddenly as it had come, and in
sort Of ecstacy she blessed her
benefactor and protector, and
prophesied to him that God in
heaven would reward him some day
with placing upon his head the
Papal tiara.
Then she hurriedly went home to
the ghetto and the adventure was
soon forgotten.
Years had passed by when one
day an extraordinary excitement
kept the population of the ghetto
astir. The visit of a high dignitary
of the Church had been announced,
and, Of course, all possible prepara-
tons were made to receive him with
becoming honors.
But to the surprise of all, the
richly caparisoned equipage, in
stead of taking the road toward the
customary meeting house of the
congregation, were directed toward
one of the most dilapidated. tumble
downs. and the Pope himself left the
carriage and stepped into the dwell

than a dwelling place for human be-
ings
Followed by a lackev, the holy
father assembled the stairs and en-
tered room in the garnet
which was exposed to wind and
weather. Finding himself face to
face with an old woman who
tenanted the apartment, he inquir-
ed with soft voice: EDO you remem-

echoed all around her.
Those who raised that cry were
a lot of choir boys of the Papal
chapel, who hied their way to di-
vine service mornings and evenings
and who never missed their oppor-
tunity to play a trick on those who
were least able to defend them
selves.
Today they had selected the Jew
ess as their butt; they had spied
her behind the bosquets and they
were reverberant in their joy, be-
cause such sport did not offer every
day. 1t was an extraordinary OPP
portunity to laugh and have fun and
perpetrate mischief. Therefore
without much ado, they surrounded
the poor woman, teased her and
made sport of her in boys fashion.
The poor old creature, believing
that she was in serious peril, sum
moned all her strength and ran as
fast as she could to escape her
enemies. She jumped up and run
as fast as her legs would permit her
toward her home, at least she
thought she was taking that direc-
ton, but in her excitement she took
the opposite direction, followed by
the noisy urchins who had been
joined by a lot of street arabs,
throwing stones at her and calling
the attention of the people passing
by keeping up the cry, ga Jewess,
Jewess'
Of course, the way to the ghetto
grew much longer, but the fear she
was in winged her steps; gradually
she gained on her pursuers and the
cry was growing fainter by the dis
lance increasing between her and
her enemies. She suddenly felt a
singing pain in her back, which de-
prived her of all power to move
further, and after making vain
effort to run further she dropped to
the ground.
She considered herself already
lost and uttered piercing cries of
lament-when young man, with
