One evening, when her mother was
busy in the lower part of the house,
and her father was gone, as usual, to
the saloon, Lizzie put on her hat, and
cloak and stole from the house. Just
before she reached the railroad the
door of Charlie Hancock's little den

She looked at him, with tears in hel
eyes, and could hardly refrain from
kissing him then and there.
