They couldn't see them. and they
couldn't have played baseball or mar
For they were blind. these three little

other children, but kept apart from
them, when at last you teit your way
over that wall and emerged without any
ma tron or monitor, on the other side,
out in the world, alone! =.
OF course they didn't get very far in
II isn't very hard to trace three little
boys in the uniform Of home, who
