These seotita were principally Winno

The command marched up the Nortl

The murks of the travois made the irn

yellow-wluto door was answered by the
concierge , the usual little old lady in the

which was originally that of au old St.
Anunstmo monastery , is now ocoupiml
by the convent of the Sucre Co-ur , whoso
high buildings surround the cemetery on
three sides.
"Tho convent is a very fashionable
school , " .said the conotergo. "Many
