He knew that it was in the lower and poorer part of the city. “Ah, here it is,” he said, stopping before a dingy sign. “Now for number 35.” He made his way through the narrow street, unlit save by the pale glimmer of the moon and an occasional gas light. He stopped, “Can this be number 35?” It was a gloomy iittle house without lights, apparently deserted. “There must be some mistake.” He stock still with a puzzled air. “But no, there is the number, 35.” Hesitatingly, the priest mount- ed the steps and knocked at the door, no answer. He knocked again, louder this time, still no answer. He pushed the door and it yielded a little. lie pushed it again. It opened and he found himself confronted by the nose of a revolver. The owner of the revolver stood, glaring wild-eyed at the priest. His hair was iron grey and tousled. His eyes, — ah, thought the priest — they were the eyes of the little boy! Father John exclaimed in amazement, “What is this? What is this?” The man cried, “You get out here! What do you want here? He pointed the revolver at Father John. Quickly grabbing the revolver, Father John said, “Here, here, my man, calm your- self. 1 am the pastor of St. Ignatius Parish, come to see the sick person who is in need of my help.
