lined up against the fence watching a
teamster, who was stupidity trying to
whip his horse up the hill that ran

horse was doing his best to no purpose.
Suddenly one of the boys Went into

This was too much for Levenworth.

those of martyr i'll Il Roman arena

They did not send wild beasts to tear
him. but they did send n captain and
his company with orders to dispatch
him. The wit and presence of mind
of the khedive changed what was in

the revolution into Il comedy.

that he had given orders that they

them. telling them that Ec knew the

they had better let him live.
After discussing the matter at some

play his last card. He told the officer
