CHAPTER ".
The Farewell.

We couldn't have lain there long,
when stealthy shadow appeared at
the corner, Of the building. Whoever
1T was looked and listened cautiously
then slid like ghost to the furnace
room door, tried it carefully, looked
and listened again, then came over and
ma among the logs, not yard from
where we lay. We could see by the
form it was Pete's wife. But she
crept about more like tiger than
sick woman. The still, deadly cum
ming of her movements terrified us
To us shivering lads, she was not
human, but some malicious demon in
human form. | could feel my hair
stlffenlng on my head; and my whole
INSIDE seemed to turn to quiverine
Jelly Every shadow seemed to threat
en- us.
When at last Pete slipped quickly
and quietly into the doorway l nearly
screamed with fright. He turned
looked and listened moment in the
shadow, then turned and gently un-
locked the door Before he had time
to open it, Bessie darted into the
shelterlng doorway like frightened
deer IT the woman in the shadow
hadn't been so absorbed in watching
the doorway, she would have discovered
us then, sure.
Ihe rest is SO like Jumbled night
mare / can hardly get it straight. Too
much happened at once, and we boys
were too terrified to know what did
happen. AS / remember, Pete had
Bessie in his arms, kissing her, when
a horrld, creepy, maniacal laugh or
scream rang out. Then both women
were screaming and Pete was running
and Pete's wife was after Bessie with
pistal that was binding and deaf
ening us with a quick succession of
flashes and reports. We saw Bessie
fall, and the crazy woman stumble over
her and fall. Then the shots ceased
and we, ran for help. What was said
be couldn u get; but that awful woman
was raving and laughing and sobbing
and shrieking something too horrible
for words.
We found Frees father and told him
something that set him running, then
huddled up in the Kitchen to wait
for news, too terrified to brave the
dark again.

happened to him, and he doesn u be-

that feeling, but every act towards
their wives disproved the claim

Charges Are Likely to be
Preferred.
MATTER DEFERRED MONDAY
Rev. W. r. Burrell Will Ask
Other Pastors to Join With
Him in Movement.

Charges OF malfeasanee in office
may be preferred against Chief or
Police Werner and the Police Com
missioners, according TO Rev. w X.
Burrell, pastor Of Fairmount Baptist
church. who states that he is seriously
thinking of taking up this question
with other ministers of the city be-
cause OF illegal sale of liquor and other
violations of the Law alleged to- be
permitted by the police department.
1T was my intention to bring the
matter up at our weekly ministerial
meeting Friday" said the Baptist di-
vine. when seen soon after the meet
Ing. but there was a great deal of
business to attend to in connection
with the approaching Southern Bap-
fist Convention in Baltimore. and we
had but little time for discussion of
other matters. However. l shall likely
bring up the matter at our next meet
ing after the convention, and ii is
probable that the grand jury will be
asked TO indict the police officials"
Yo1er Fared Badly.
Rev. Mr.. Burreil Is among those
who believes that Adon A Yoder, the
pamphleteer. has not Jared as well
courts, and II was when asked about
the Yoder case that he volunteered
the information that the police OFF,
Gals may be brought before the grand
jury.
The Yoder case figured indirectly
in sermon which Rev. Dr. II. u. G.
Maclachlan. the pastor, preached at
Seventh Street Christian church SUM-
day night. Selecting as his theme.
The price of Saving Souls" DR.. Mac
laehlan declared in the course OF his
sermon that 1t was no disgrace to be
put in jail. provided one was battling
for the cause Of righteousness and the
upIift of humanity. He cited the in
stance of martyrs who had anguish
ed in dungeons. but at no point in
his discourse did ne specifically refer
to the Richmond pamphleteer.s case.
1t was clear to his congregation, how
ever. that this case was the basis for
his sermon.
DR.. Maclaehlan was heard with
closest attention by a large congre-
CATION. and his sermon was the SUBJ
ject OF much comment throughout the
city Monday morning.
Contrary to report. Rev. b. Frank
lin Bryan. pastor of Emmanuel Bap-
fist church. did not refer TO the Yoder
case in either of his sermons Sun
day.
