Henry then took one of the pieces, and, placing himself before the first beggar, looked at him inquiringly.
"Agen," said the man.
"How many?" asked Henri.
"Five hundred."
"Cahors;" and he gave him the piece and took a second.
The man bowed and withdrew.
The next advanced and said, "Auch."
"How many?"
"Three hundred and fifty."
"Cahors;" and he gave him his piece.
