Both the

    sisters immediately sprang : out of bed ; and the deceased , taking with her a hayfork which they had in their apartment , hastened to learn the cause of the noise . Off entering the sitting-room , she

    perceived a man , followed by others , coming in by a door on the opposite side , leading from the kitchen . As the first man advanced towards her , she made a thrust at him , and struck him on the fore part

    of the body . If the prongs of the fork had been sharply pointed , she might have seriously wounded him ; but , happily for her , these proved very bluntj so that ? he did not injure him , or the others might have murdered both herself ancl her

    sister . The man , finding himself attacked by some kind of weapon , wrenched it out of her hand , and presenting . a pistol at her , threatened to shoot her if she were not quiet . She in her turn seized the pistol , and struggled with him for the possession of it ; and . she
