could not live two hours, and the message
had been sent little after six. Silently, as he
hurried, he prayed that she might survive
until his coming - and then, remembering
his sister, prayed again for Juan. If JMon

class himself Chow his poor mother had pinched

ton against the rich,' the comfortable, now
that they, the mderpsivileged, were masters.
They had 50 many envies, 30 many hatreds,
to slake. But why this mad hatred against the
Church?
Those who sent them shrieking against the
Church, to pillage, to burn. to murder, were
the worst enemies of the humble folk. The
poor defuded simple people! He pitied them,
prayed for them, in lieu of silently reciting
the breviary he knew by heart, prayed for his
dying communicant, for his sister Teresa and,
in supreme effort, for his nephew Cnsazada

A sudden uproar further along the street

where. Persistently and ceaseiessly, so cease
lessly as hardly to be noticed, the distant
artilleries of the Government and of General
Franco answered each other in spasmodic de-
donations and occasional heavy slams. To
Padre Inocente it was all familiar, now
normal summer morning in the heart of
Madrid
No one paid any attention to him. No one
suspected that in fold of his shirt was con-
cealed the sacred wafer, wine, and in the
pockets of his workman s trousers his breviary
and the specially small holy vessels. He was
dressed like any other man in the shabby
throng; to have ventmed abroad in ecclesias-
tical garb would have been suicide.
He still missed the flowing black skirts he
had worn since he was boy at the seminary,
still felt awkwardly naked and conspicuous
in the rough trousers he had now worn for a
year. But nobody remarked that awkward
ness, shouted the fatal cry. Nobody exclaimed:
"Holo, Padre Inocester'

would die in torments before he told where the

a onoe-portly little figure. When he reached
the tragedy, the mob was dispensing. A form,
mrecognizable as human, lay huddled. The
ragstrewn pavement was wet and darkly-

daring to move his lips. If anyone Of those
who jostled him could have seen into his soul!
In this city of hideous hate where the farewell
"Adios!'' was prohibited because Dios
God - was abolished. he communed directly
with the foumtainhead of all Love, all Mercy,
all Power. A miracle for Juan. Teresa. at
Heavens gate, would also be interceding.
Suddenly. lifting his head for moment, he
perceived that he was walking close on the
heels of man and woman. Instantly, on

Gods mercy on her son Juan, had
sighed in doubt at his assurance that
Gods mercy was infinite.
The mercy of God was infinite.
Saoerdotally, he had no doubt of
that. But humanity it needed a heroic
act of faith to believe that it could
embrace Juan. Juan had broken his
mothers heart. As youngster Juan
had been an attractive lad, and he
had been fond of him. But since the
establishment of the Republic in
1881, Juan had never even pretended
to work. He had been paid clubman
and agitator, glibly melting the mob
to disorder ard outrage, one of a
myriad of agents deliberately disin-
tegrating the Republic into anarchy.
Now, young Cana,0da Juan was one
of the chiefs of the Communist fac
ton, insolently all-powerful, partic-
ularly vindictive against religion.
Juan had shot men and women for
the crime of possessing a crucifIx.
had shot them on mere spiteful de-
numciations that they went to Mass.
The story of Co,sar0dG Juan's ex-
ploits in the converts was one Of the
tests of Red Madrid. To Padre Ino-
cente. his celebrated nephew was
very nearly an incarnation of Anti
Christ. The power of God was. of
course, without limit. But it seemed
to him that only a miracle could
bring Juan to Grace. Padre Inocente
remembered his promise to his dying
sister last night. As he walked, head
down in the life habit of reading
the breviary he could not openly
carry, he prayed silently to God for
Juan, prayed for that miracle.
He turned down a street of shops,
at one time fashionable shops. OF
many, the owners had lied. 1he
others, their plate glass boarded up,
held yet the remnant of their stocks,
at extortionate prices. But Padre
Inooente thought not at all of COM
meroe. He thought only of arriving
in time, before a precious soul had
left this earth. The bombardment
had left no public clocks. But he
caught a glimpse of a clock in a shop.

A wide, plain border on a bath
towel narrows down the terry cloth,

measure the same in length and

The pile loops determine the
