bare.headed and hardly decently covered with
rags that had not touched water, apparently

lay 10 her al ms. Three or four little boys sat
next, wan looking creatures, as white as their
little wool hats, except where the DIRT gave an
appearance Of health to the flesh.
They were ragged and shiveTing with cild.
but they didn't speak nor cry; so utterly un-
like the cheeriulness and yiyacity of boys were
their silence and quieude, that it made one e
heart ache to see them. 0ae Of them once passed

baby which lay molonless in its mothers lap,
