(continued from previous page)Rosary, the spirit of the Saint attracted their attention and all at once left the house. The old man got up off his knees to close the door where he found a fine turkey hen tied on the wall behind the door. The old woman finished the rosary.

At once the old couple thanked God for finding at their door every thing they needed to practice the old custom of spilling the blood on Saint Martin's Eve.(no title)
“There was once a man and he was sitting by the fire with his wife and children”
