"Hush! Milt, I am more than satisfied that things are no worse," answered his wife gratefully.
"But my barn is burned and my plant bed destroyed!" exclaimed Milt.
"You are unharmed, and that is all I ask."
"I'd like to get even with them for this night's work, and I will," he announced vindictively.
"No! no! Milt, you must do nothing of the kind," declared Sally. "Let the matter rest just where it is. Remember, you are looking from just the opposite standpoint from which you looked a few years back. It is now your property that is being destroyed, and not other people's. This makes all the difference in the world. You must not be too severe on these Night Riders, for my sake, if for nothing else. You see," she added coyly, "I married one of them myself."
The End.
