GEORGE r, ALEXANDER.
Bethlehem. Pa, April II, 1921.
1t 10 long time to come. remember It
we'll.
All alone In a mansion a maiden did dwell
Along with her father and mother serene;
Her age II was red and her hair was nine-
teen.
This girl had lover, who close by did
dwell;
A banty.backed rooster, and hump-legsed as
we'll.
Said ne: Fly with me by the light of yon
For you are the eye OF my apple. you are"
This beautiful maiden said gently: BE
wise
Or my father will scratch out your nails
with his eyes;
II you love me so, you'll not cause me dis
grace"
Said the girl as she buried her hands In
her face.
Wien the Strl she refused him. he knocked
down the maid
Their he quickly opened his knife with his
blade.
He cut the throat OF the damsel so
Then he dragged her around by the head of
her hair.
Now Just at this moment the old man ap-
pears
He sazed at the sight there. with eyes in
his tears.
He knelt down beside her. the oold corpse
he kissed.
Then he rushed with his throat at the mur-
derers fist.
The old man he ordered the villain to bolt.
And he pulled a horse pistol he raised from
colt
The villain he ran for the chimney. that's
true,
Sa,d he, T will ry." So ne few up the
hue.
