could hear old Darb a e-sawing on
his fiddle and somebody else calling
the dance half a mile before we
reached the house.
Lights was in every room and the
smoke was coming straight up
through three different chimneys;
so We spurrcd up our ponies and
rode toward the stack yards, where
we turned EN- loose.
