 to quell a riot, and then was under the orders of the 

 civil magistrate. The other fellows were sitting at 

 breakfast when they heard a great clatter in the 

 street, and on looking out saw an old woman on her 

 back and a basket of apples rolling about on the 

 pavement, " Dhroleen " on his hind legs pawing the 

 air above her. Major Knox rushed to the window 

 and shouted out, " Good God, Mr. Burrowes, what 

 are you after ? " Burrowes saluted, and looking out 

 of the corner of his eye, said, " I have got my 

 orders, sir".
