Well, it was gritty o' you to face my bull, and I give ye credit for it.

My name's Isaac Klem, and thet's my farm over yonder.
These gals is Helen and Alice Staton, and they live down the road a piece." The boys tipped their caps and the girls smiled.
"We are very thankful to you," said Alice and Helen, almost in a breath.
"You are welcome to the little I did," returned Dick.
"It was fun to pelt the old bull with rocks," put in Tom.

"I'll do as much for you any time," and this caused a laugh.
Isaac Klem went off to drive his bull home and the girls also prepared to depart.
"When you are coming back this way you can stop at our house if you wish," said Alice Staton.

"It's the yellow one with honeysuckle growing over the porch." "I remember it," said Sam.

"Thank you," and the others also gave thanks for the invitation.
