The shock cured him, and, reaching home, he placed the girl's body in the chapel with his own hands.

It reminded him, he said, of a Community at Marseilles whose Superior had died, but whose money was missing.

The new Superior sent a young priest who had a great dread of ghosts down to the crypt below the church to open the coffin and search the pockets of the dead.

He did so, and found the money; but in nailing on the coffin lid again, a part of his soutane was fastened down with it.

The priest turned to go, advanced a step, and, being suddenly held, dropped dead with fright.
