By its light he saw hc was confronted by man of medium size. broad shouldcred. and strongly built, with heavy, dark moustache. which hc judged tO be false.

 .'You foll,r, are a lot of paupers down here. I m going up among the arisiocrais and if make a raise n come back and hand you dollar or two.'
