Harvard. General Garden came with

sprang for the horses heads-an in

glimpse of his daughters white face
as she swept past him. The agony

steep grade at appalling speed At

the cliffs for a quarter OF mile. Be

ragged rocks-the most dangerous
slope for miles around"

soldier saw the team as IT passed the
old house. A few rods beyond. man
