cannot supply YOU"
"Let me have five dollars them" said the
tramp.
Mrs. Carr, who is brave little woman, replied,
"There is neither dinner nor money here for

to have recovered from the nervous shock and
suffers little from the wound, which is compare
lively triaing, though the escape of the delicate

with Mrs. Carr, who failed to identify him as
the man who cut her throat.
