by mistake. Oh, no, she didn't object
because IT tasted good and as she took
her hand and rubbed it in, Maize

was dark at the time and the boy
couldn't see and didn't care who he
was kissing.

and some one yanked a knife again
and pushed it in Agnes ribs once

else 70 a change" gasped Agnes as
she swooned on the pavement. Judge
Pugh told Liza and Maize to come
across with $50 each or go to Jail
for sixty days.
