told them to whip him back to Falerii;
md he sent an escort of Roman sof-
diers with them. 1t was the most igno-
minious punishment, and the boys
knew it.
It had become known in Falerii that :
the children were gone. and how they
went and where. The news spread from
house to house, and the mothers flew,
as if their feet had wings, along the
streets, filling the air with lamentations.
They wrung their hands, implored the
gods: ..Bring back our children! ana

children were safe at home, broke IN
with imprecations and words of pity, SO
that, what with the walls and shrieks,
the voices in rage, in terror, in angulsh
and despair, mighty cry went up.
The mothers were already outside
the gates, and would have rushed
straight on to the Roman camp, for q
cohort of soldiers could not have kept
them back, when the children were
seen advancing, driving before them
the abject master. Their shrill voices
could be heard now haunting, now
cheering, and presently the blare OF
| trumpets and huzzas of men, as the
Roman soldiers came on rending the
air with cheers.
." The Romans are upon us!' cried
the Falerians; guard the gate! Com
pei the women to go back!''
But at that moment the children be-
gan to shout the name of Camillas,.
g our father, our deliverer, our bene-'
| factorr' and it became clear that this
was no hostile force, and soon the truth
was told.
The Falerians were overwhelmed
with gratitude. From every quarter
they assembled in the market-pIace;
they heard over and over, and never
tired of hearing, the story of the boys.
1t was thing SO extraordinary that the
Senate was called together, and moth
ing was heard but praise of Camillus.
Such magnanimity, such generosity.
such honor! They "cried up the
Roman faith, the justice of the COM
mander;" and with one consent, as
soon as possible, they sent messengers
to him, and then to Rome, delivering
up Falerii--for they would be Roman
subjects or allies of Rome--saying:
''Conscript fathers, send men to receive
our arms, our hostages, our city with
its gates thrown open. "-AnsGada u.
