    they arrived there was no light in the house and the man was dying quickly. With the aid of matches the Priest administered the last rites and after sprinkling the room with holy-water a flash of light came through the window. This was supposed to be the devil disappearing in a flame of fire in a rage because he failed only by a few minutes to claim the soul of the dying man.
