vadinc army SIX miles away, Just over the

what with the loss az their CHILD and the co m
I ing on OF that destructive army, think the

! In house on the wall Of the city Is that

/ had not forgotten her home yet. you see. The
vanderer never forgets home. Her heart
breaks now as she thinks Of now she has NAL

could get away from her sinful enthrallment;
! and sometimes she looks up IN the face OF the
midnight, bursting into agOnzinG tears. No
sooner have these two spies promised 70 saw Q

hand, in safety to the ground. Not being ex-
hausted she ties the cord around the other
spy, brings MIN to the window, and just As

! sooner have these men united the scarlet
cord from their bodies than they look up,
and they say: ''You had better set all your
friends in this house-your father your mo
ther. vour brothers and your sisters; you
had better got them in this house. And then.
after YOU have them here, take this red cord
which you have put around our bodies and
/ tie it across the window, and when our vic
