The distance miles but lad talkative'
the ride was not tedious Finally the driver announced
that we were getting in range of Harrngton's."
There's nice shady spotr said pointing to elump
Of small trees near the road
Yea" replied my companion, that's where Miles
,hrashed Harrington the first time"
This was uninteigible to me but when about asking
an explanation we entered upon beautiful elevation,
commanding view of large scope of country remark
ed upon this
Yea" said the lad here's where Miles pulled Harring
ton of Of his horse and kicked him down the bill yonder
Down towards that stack yard T. I queried.
Yea" he replied that's the stackyard where Miles
belted Harrington over the heed with the handle Oh
pitchfork for dogging his cattle"
wbo is this Miles" said that to be forever
pitching into Harrington and what's the matter between
themr
