Never mind, get Tom out quick. 1 Can't you see the barn will be all in a blaze if we don't get out? - Being a strong girl, she dragged Charlie out. She went to drag out Tom, but a burning rafter hit her. 1 She was determined not to give in i just then, when she was needed the most. She dragged herself over. grabbed Tom and got out safely. l'You'r-Je not hurt very much, Winifred? asked Charlie. Never mind about me, what. has happened? Charlie thought quickly, then said, Let me take your horse, Wini- fred will you? Yes, take it. of Tom here. Charlie got on and in no time he was at. the sherilf's with the gun.
