whose husband is a policeman, reported by B. Dattner.)

she anxiously called for a policeman. But he went peacefully with two
tramps into a church, * to which a great many steps led up, *(2) behind
the church there was a mountain *(3) on top of which there was a dense
forest. *(4) The policeman was provided with a helmet, a gorget, and a
cloak. *(5) The two vagrants, who went along with the policeman quite
peaceably, had sack-like aprons tied round their loins. *(6) A road led

the top of the mountain, where it spread out into quite a forest. -
