efS 'orm' "h'iG the shouts OF The ehra9ed
solu'efS come numbering from 'me stars
yes they nave broken the hall door to
fragments, they are IN possession OF the
ola block house. they are rushing towards
that chamter' with murder IN their hearts
and IN their gIarn9 eyes. Had the old
man a thousand lives, they were not
worth iarthlnS,S purchase row.
Still, that glrl grown suddenly white
as the kerchiet around her neck, stands
there, trembling from head to foot, the
rifle in her hand, its dark tube laid
against the powder kog, =
The door is burst open-look there!
Stout forms are in the doorway, with
muskets in their hands; grim faces, stain
ed with blood, glare into the room.
Now, as if her very soul was coined
into the words, that young girl, with her
face pale as ashes, her hazel eye garing
with deadly light, utters this short yet
meaning speech
Advance one step into the room, and
will fire this rifle into the powder there!'
No oath quivers upon the lips of that
girl to confirm her resolution, but there
She stands alone, with her wounded faith
er, and yet, not soldier dares cross the
threshold. Imbrued as they are in deeds
