    again and a party of robbers came (aloy) along and settled under the bush. They spread out a great quantity of food and whiskey and started to eat and drink. They then started counting all the money they had stolen. Biddy got so excited that she let the door leaf fall from the bush and the robbers, thinking it was a shot of a gun, ran away and left all behind them. Petie and Biddy got all the money and went home content. They never wanted for anything again.
