LOUIS did not submit readily to his captors. At first he was angry; then he cried, and when some of the men laughed at him for being a baby he got angry again, and told them they were a band of cowards to set upon him in this way,-a dozen men on one boy,-and that if they wanted to rob him they might do it and go about their business. He did not care; he could walk home.
