    THE HOLY HEAD OF HALIFAX
    Yorkshire
    Asceticism and self-mortification had so warped Father Aeldred's mind and body that reason
    forsook him. To his grotto-confessional on the hill came the girl probationers from a Holy House,
    and among them an artless fair-haired vision of elfin beauty. Aeldred felt her charm, but madness
    gripped him, and his disordered brain saw but the Devil tempting him in frail disguise . . . . . One
    frenzied blow was enough! Then, severing the head, he bound it by its own shining tresses to the
    bole of a yew tree, in the nark of which the hairs miraculously took root. Aeldred fled to die that
    night in the hills.
