which reconciled the neighbors to
the situation. 1t was the tourist sea-
son and as soon as the guard was
removed tourists swarmed about the
Coolidge home, some of them even
peering in through windows. The
labors of MacAulay were seen to be
necessary and were accepted as such
thereafter.
One day a woman drove up the
Coolidge road in an expensive auto
mobile and registered panied indig-
nation when MacAulay barred the
way.
Don't know who am? just
came from England" the driver
said.
II came from Scotland some years
ago, and you can't drive by here"
MacAulay answered, and he won the
argument.
Another instance Of "the sheriff's
pawky Scottish humor" concerns
woman tourist who was shown the
little room behind the general store
in which Calvin Coolidge was born.
."How did 1t happen that the Pres.
ident of the United States was born
in place like this?" the tourist
asked.
DCSduSS Has llVIhcI was stay AHS
here at the time, Madam" Angus
replied.
Since he assumed his duties here
MacAulay has made only one arrest
and he lost that case in court. Last
summer he arrested a man who was
making a disturbance in Plymouth
Union but through an error the
warrant charged the defendant with
operating an automobile while under
the influence of liquor. The district
court discharged MacAulay's prison.
er and Plymouth folk have made q
joke of the incident ever since. For
the most part "the sheriff. has re-
lied on tact rather than force.
MacAulay is on duty at the Cool
idge' home "a hours of the day. He
fetches the mail from the post Of
fee, telephones news of the coloneTs
condition to the coloners physician,
DR.. Albert Cram of Bridgewater,
aids in caring for the sick man, and
finds time to act as buffer between
Colonel Coolidge and the public.
They say in Plymouth that the 81
lent, soft-spoken Scotchman Is more
than equal to all these demands.
