Can Leave
His Fort

"If Mr.. Armstrong wants to
come up town, or leave his mill
for any purpose, | will gladly Of
fer to act as personal escort and
promise him absolute safety"
This was the reply of August
Seitz, secretary of the Tacoma
longshoremen's union, roday, to
the statement of J. d. Armstrong,
manager for the Sperry Flour
Co., that he fears he will be kill
ed If he leaves his plant.
Armstrong has remained in an
office on the second floor of hts
flour mill since Monday, sur
rounded by rifles. Last night ne
descended to the main floor, sur
rounded by guards, for the first
time since Mondays riot.
1--WE have absolutely no rea-
son to attack Mr.. Armstrong;
said Seitz. I'VE do not wish to
attack anybody"
Like a Fortress.
The Sperry plant this week is
more of a fortress than q flour
mill. Every employee is armed.
Some carry revolvers, others have
clubs, and few are protected by
long knives and dirks.
Practically all employees remain
at the mill constantly, under
Armstrong; orders, eating their
meals in an impromptu dinilg
room, where cooks and walters
have been installed.
Each day sees the arrival of sew
eral auto loads of wives and fam
lilies of the workmen, bringing
dainties, and clothing to the men
inside.
Friday afternoon one of the
clerks of the mill walked into the
mill yard, in plain sight of pickets
with .38 six-shooter revolver
strapped about his wais. and a
cartridge belt, filled with long
shells, slung over one shoulder.
Police guards Immediately order
cd him to conceal the wea ,ou.
Cops Get Meals.
Police officers on duty at the
plant, numbering 40 or so to a
shift, are fed at the mills dining
room. Several remain inside the
plant at night.
Manager Armstrong directs the
protection work from a small win
dow in his second story room. 1t
is impossible for outsiders to sec
him without passing examination
and a esarch for weapons by
guards stationed at all doors to
the plant. .
I'm my estimation, there is no
need whatever for Mr.. Armstrong
to take these precautions" said
Commissioner Petit today.

The lumber company declared

There was not an available Of

police officials Immediately began
calling for the 200 volunteer b is
mess men.
They succeeded in persuadins
three of the Commercial club
members to act as guards.
They were taken in q police
auto to the Puget Sound mil, AMI
told to guard the plant against
invaders. They were armed with
clubs and revolvers.
AT midnight one of the
three special guards teIe-
phOned police headquarters.
'Say, it's awfully lonely
down here" he complained.
''Can't you send some more
men down to keep us COM
pany?'
The police tried again to rouse
interest among the remaining
1877 volunteers. They found two
more who were willing 70 serve.
These two were taken down to
augment the three guards.
About 3 o'clock this morning
one of the men telephoned to po-
lice headquarters.
There isn't a thing doing down
here, and no possible danger, he
reported. We've decided that we
might as we'll go home. There
isn't a thing to be afraid of. We
haven't seen longshoreman all

Police Capt. Wiley was on the
other end of the phone.
You men are now regular po-
lice officers, and you are working
12-hour shifts, just the same as
other policemen" he replied.
You stick down there until
you are relieved"
And the five business men
shivered in the damp dawn until

came to take their places.

Sledge shook his head and
spluttered, like he would In a
shower bath, but never let go of
Molly's wrist, ana pIodded on to-
ward the front door.
Tommy Reeler, who had been

Ter out of the path of progress,
now sprang on the minister's
back and pinioned his busy arms
from behind, while Sledge stead
lily dragged them all toward the
front door. with Molly now
screaming, and Nina, her arms
about her mistress waist, jerking
her from behind.
"Mina!" cried Molly. LET go!
You're pulling my arm in two!"
The weight of Tommy Reeler
told at last. With steady progress
Sledge dragged Molly across the
porch and to the door of his wait
ing limousine, into which he
placed her with careful force.
Home, Billy" he chuckled to
tHo uItfcT.
Molly's first and perfectly nor
mai action when the limousine
drove away with her, was to in
dulge in splendid case of hyster-
la. She laughed, she cried, she
shrieked, she tried to jump out
of the machine; and Sledge was
so scared that he wilted his COL
lar.
You're all right, Miss Molly"
he hoarsely cooed, over and over.
Molly dabbed at her eyes with
filmy lace handkerchief. You
are hurting my wrise," she COM
planned.
He let go slowly, and looked at
the deep, white indentations of
his big fingers. He almost blub-
bered.
I'm a slob." he confessed.

leg off before I'd hurt you. Why,

She drew her hand away. MIR.
Sledge, where are YOU taking
me?"
Home" he informed her.
We're gonna get married"
In spite of her tearing anger,
there was something in this so
ridiculous that she was compelled
to laugh, and with the first peal
Sledge paled.
Hit 'er up" he yelled to his
driver. please don't, Miss Molly;
you're all right" And he made
the futile attempt of hopping his
brow with the foolish little hand
kerchief which he somehow found
in his hand. ~.

manded.

don't fool me again. I'm gonna

head. He's woman fusser. He's
been mixed up with them since
you were engaged, and he'd never
stop. So don't you marry lfm!"
II am the one to decide on
that" Molly Indignantly advised
him.
Sledge looked at her a moment
contemporary, then he opened
the forward window.
Stop" he ordered Billy, and
closed the window again. "All
right; go to it; decide" he un-
expectedly told her as the ma
chine stopped. But be on the
level now. Do you love BERT"
Molly was silent.
You don't" he concluded.
"Put 1t the other way. How about
Bert? Now, don't kid yourself"
Again Molly was silent. She
could answer that question IL she
chose, and the picture of little
Jessie Peters sublime alteration
of Dicky Reynolds came before
her eyes, linked with the memory
of Bert's face when he had sug-
gested a postponement. Being
broke was an incident with Jes-
sic and Dicky, and entirely aside
from their love. With Bert and
herself, it was the love which
had been incidental.
Sledge waited a reasonable
time for her to allege Bert's en-
thusiasm.
'Home!" he commanded Billy.
You see, I'm wise, Miss Molly.
That pin-head couldn't love any,
body enough to go the distance.

and then, to her own surprise,
laughed. She had put her hand

her, she left it there.

CHAPTER XVII.
The Consolidation,

Bob looked up at her with a
distinct grin as she alighted, and
when she stopped swiftly down
and put her arm about his neck,
he laid his head against her knee
and whined.
Hes crazy about you," said
Sledge, looking down at them
both with hungry affection.
Gov. Waivers former butler, a
graiy-haired Englishman of tor
turing dignity, came out on the
porch.
II beg your pardon, SIR" he
said to Sledge.
Sledge turned and looked him
over with disfavor. "Well?" he
grunted.
"Mr. Reeler is telephoning. sir.
He wishes to know IL Miss Mar
ley is here"
Come on, Molly" invited
Sledge, We'll tell him." Then
went into the library.
He picked up the telephone.

Molly took the telephone, but

Just what do you mean is so

"Oh, everything. Wait a min

there was a great change in the
voice of Fern. Tell me it isn't

out. 81 had realized just at the

that Bert's attitude toward orr
marriage was not what 1t should
be. That does not necessarily
mean, however, that | am willing

you can't make me do. Mr..

quietly in the eye.

and felt foolish.

fessed. 81 thought | could, but

allied suddenly that there was a
fineness in him which made
decency a matter of principle,
rather than of circumstances.

laughed, feeling suddenly tri-

the porch of the magnificent
Waiver mansion.
Sledge alighted Immediately,
and held out his hand.
You fooled me BEFORE" he
charged, but that's off,"
TITS off," she assured him in
his own language. His big hand
was warm, and solid, substan-
tial thing to hold to. She was
glad that he liked her so we'll. 1t
was safe and comfortable to
know that.
Good words" he approved.
Molly. you're a lady," He still
held her hand. He squared his
shoulders with sudden defiance.
He kissed it! Back to Marley's.
Billy" he directed, and closed
the door of the limousine.
Billy pulled away from the
porch. She waved her hand at
Sledge as they made the turn.
There was new droop to his
shoulders as he stood there on
the stately big porch, all clone,
in his black Prince Albert, with
a red rose in his buttonhole, and
his silk hat in his hand.
Around the corner of the house
there painfully limped once
white bull terrier, with one eye
gone and both ears chewed to rib
bons. Slowly, tortuously, he
wabbled jerkily along the path
and up the steps, and rubbed his
battered old head against Sledge's
leg.

and fumbled frantically to get II
