She at once devoted herself to works of charity, but not finding enongb poor people in her native place, she went to Verona. There she lived on a bill with her parents, and went down every day to the church of the Sepulchre, where she served the poor, dressing their sores, etc. Three wicked young men went to her house when tbey knew she was alone, and got in at the window one by one. Each as he got into the room and saw her there praying, was seized by a devil and strangled. She was in a great fright. She could not hide the corpses and expected to be aocuaed of murdering them. Their parents soon traced them to her house, and vrent to see what had become of them. After a distressing scene, they prevailed on Tuscana to pray for the resuscitation of the three scamps. So they came to life. Then Tuscana entered the Order of St John of Jerusalem, in which she was distinguished by all virtues. A few minutes before her death she made the Eriest and the others who were attending er, promise to bury her in the road before the door of the church of Si John, where men and beasts and carriages should pass over her.
