been dead, my good woman? What
number Of children have you? Are
any Of them working? II so. what
amount of money are they earning

his summons. II presume am ad-

make requisition for anything that
was necessary for safe passage.
The lieutenant made his requisition in
writing and on the spot. It was as
follows:
