from his feet but the latter with tire.

the vermonter, and regalned the turf.
They struggled acrsss the doorynrd,
the ground trembling beneath their

""rain't exactly good amusement,

II was growing dark. Ann Rutledge
arrived ON her pony, and called Abe
aside and told him thar the raiders
were In the village and were breaking
the windows of RadfOrd's store be

Don't say anything about IT," Abe
cautioned her. "Just 20 Into the house
with Sarah Truylnr and sit down and

Then Abe told Samson what was
up. The men concealed themselves In
some bushes by the roadside while the
minister sat close against nm end Of
the house with his bloodhound beside
him. Before they were settled In
their places they heard the regulators
coming. There We're eight men In the

The waiting men sprang 10 their feet
and charged. The raiders turned and
ran, pell nell, in panic toward their
horses. suddenly the darkness seemed
