crouching before a small blaze in

through two small windows near
the ceiling OF the. cellar and look

these opening came also the tink-

A large dry goods box served the
woman as a bed. IL was half nIled

in her cellar home was a dIlapidat-

served as a table and a bed for the
invalid son. When the attention OF
a policeman was called TO the case

money in the neighborhood 20 re-
