Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1912-09-13

From the south came clatter of
horses hoOfs. Jim cast quick glance
toward his picket line, measuring the
distance with his eye and wondering
If he could reach 1t In time to escape
the coming horseman The girl took
IN the situation and, SELLING him by
the hand, ran with him into the house.
There they were alone, for the others
Of the family had gone out to drive In
