To sluice his throat where the liquor flowed.
She stopped to the water. cool as dew,
And filed empty bottle p. d. ..

She listened with great surprise
Then slammed 8 rock between his eyesf
While she took up her hay making act "agln,"
saying only: He was full Of GIN"
Maud Muller. on a summers day,
Killed the Judge who came her way.
