But it happened tha t ten years, not a single adult died, though the plag reat many children. It is said there was a great inc that period, and several persons visited the image a restoration of their children, which was invariably multitude did not go to worship it, especially after interment had been given by the ecclesiastical autho At length the disease attacked adults; and then loud ses began to be heard in the church, with groans a utiful resplendent lights were seen precisely at the s age was placed in the niche.

The Indian inf n of this on her third appearance to him, and she then or ather some roses on the ridge of the hill, and carry then her apparition. The Indian thought it impossible to n so barren a mountain, especially in the winter,-bu im to entertain no doubts. He went for the roses, whic the distance of a few steps. He put them in his tilma the palace of the Mitre, where with much difficulty he f ce to the Prelate. There, in the presence of the waiters gious servants of the Archbishop, Juan Diego reached ou present the proofs of the apparition of Mary: when, por der the form of the Virgin herself, as she had appeare ne Tepeyac, was impressed on the tilma of the Indian.
