es for its truth: $. There was a crowd in
the office of the City Marshal yesterday,

Of you, and let the woman with baby
have chance The crowd complied.
and again and again, woman after woman,

took it coolly for while, but finally the
infant began to assume familiar look,

Tor them the immunities which she herself
enjoyed. y saI -f1es esa fes os .ss.Ps
