At twelve he heard a noise of horses and when he looked he saw them coming to the gap where he was standing When they were going by he saw the girl and he leaped up behind her but she did not speak to him. The horses went away across the country and the boy did not know where he was. In about an hour they came back and went out on the same gap and as they were going out on the gap he pulled her out of the saddle and the horse went on himself. The boy took the girl home and got married to her.
