ordered him to drive on. Marion Beatty
commanded the Young fellow to be still
and laying his hand on his horses head, he
said: 'If you won't go home We'll bea
hell out OF you" With that he struck bel
cruel lash across the face with his whip
She screamed and fell fainting to the bottom
of the wagon.
