Rev. Father Vabre tells of woman
who was so pinched by poverty that
she had to sell or pawn nearly every
thing she owned. About the last
thing she would part with was a stat
uette of st. Patrick. 1t had been cut
from marble, at her order, and the
eyes were two large diamonds she
had worn in earrings.
Later the wheel of fortune rolled
around and the little ivory sphere
rolled into the lucky slot for the old
lady. A wealthy relative died and
left her lot of money. About the
first thing she did was to go to the
pawn shop to redeem the statuette.
The pawnbroker handed it to her all
wrapped up. She unwrapped it to see
that it was all right and found that
the diamond eyes had disappeared.
"When | brought st. Patrick here,
he had diamond eyes," she screamed,
"and-"
eyes, LADY," soothingIy whined the
old pawnbroker. 'tVen you bring
Zaint Patrick here he hat timond eyes,
