"You live here?" said the officer.
"Yes, senor capitan," answered Young Glory, "this is my poor house."
"Very well. You're the man I want. Have you seen anybody pass this way?"
"No."
"Have you been standing here long?"
"Yes, for an hour."
"And you saw no one pass?"
"I said no, senor capitan."
"They must have passed this way," said the officer, in a low voice, to his sergeant. "The fellow's deceiving us."
"Pardon, senor capitan," said Young Glory. "I have something to say. Just now I saw two men."
