A BRAVE BLUE GRASS GIRL

A BRAVE BLUE GRASS GIRL
A young lady of this city, about II
years OF age, performed an act of
courage that showed she had good
nerves and self-possession. She
lives out of the center of the city in
a house back from the street, and
having been notified by young
friend that it was proposed to SER
enade her, and hearing some music
in the night, she got up and went to
the window, the shutters being
closed. The music was at some dis
lance, so she sat at the window en-
loving the cool air and distant
music. In little while she heard
noise in the parlor below, and quiet
" opening the shutters she saw that
the shutters of the parlor window
were open. Instead of screaming,
as most girls would have done in
her situation, she ran to her bureau
drawer where she had placed little
pistol belonging to one of her cou-
sins, and fired it out of the window,
and then ran to alarm the other
members of the family. On pro-
ceeding to the parlor large lot
of movables, such as burglars could
readily carry off, were heaped on
the floor, and outside the window on
the ground was a silver waiter. The
firing of the pistol by the brave
girl had so alarmed the burglars
that they fed precipitately and had
no time to carry away anything.
Preparations have been made to
give them a much warmer reception
if they should repeat the attempt
