cause the board had no authority. There
were just forty-six individuals to whom
the request applied and nobody need have

because, to have been absent would have
made one unpleasantly conspicuous.
When that chilly night arrived nobody

They got out of their gas buggies, tramped
into the little schoolroom, stamped their
feet and warmed their hands at the biz,

kerosene lamps and three lanterns they
peered around and counted noses. 1t was
close quarters for all these men and wom-
en-. Some were neighbors who for five
years had not spoken to each other since
one had cast suspicion on the other, and
they had never met under the same roof

paper and pen and the inkwells had been
carefully filled. Chairman Hennecke, hav-
ing assured himself that nobody was miss
ing, asked them to take seats and get
ready to write.
The little vanished seats, meant to hold
children, began to groan as big-boned
farmers and their sturdy wives forced
themselves INTO the cramped space. Clear
eyed country flapperS and farmer lads,
who knew that they were not under sus-
plclon, began to giggle and snort at the
sight of their elders with horny. unac-
customed hands, cutchng the slender pen
stocks. But it was no joke to the older
tolk who had suffered under threat and
suspicion for five years. One of their
number they knew had committed a crime
Tor which the State prison at Waupun
waited.
"There's old Bill" called the village
wit. "This is the first time in TWENTY-FIVE
years he has picked up a pen except to
sign his annual tax protest"
The laugh this brought encouraged an
other sally:
=. I'VE all know Bill amt guilty Those
letters cost somebody two-cent stamp"
The innocent party mentioned was
moved to reply that in his youth young
men showed more respect for their elders.
when Mr.. Hennecke stood up and began
debating. 1t was one of the poison pen
letters that had been sent to Miss Ora
Hass, of Beloit, the pretty little teacher
in the black hat. Slowly he dictated,
and there followed painful scratching
sounds and much working of tongues in
checks, as hands more used to welding
the hoe than the pen did their best. The
chairman read:
at. might be better for you to resign
than be asked to. If you are going to
favor the Kelly and Higgins kids, and
spend all your time on them as you did
last year, you aren't wanted here"
The Kelly and Higgins kids were pres
cnt and snickered. Their parents were
also present and frowned.

Teacher. he's looking OIL my slate"
cried out youth of eighteen, bringing
the blush of modification to the face of
his father who had peeped over to see
how to spell the word resign. One after
another Mr.. Hennecke dictated sentences
from several of the letters
run for school office if you dare;

TORCH said another
Don't audit the books" was strange
warning from the poison penman The
final thrill came when Mr.. Hennecke
read off slowly rather long letter cast
ing slur on the morals of certain men,
bers of the community. Before he was
half through the chairman paused in his
slow dictation to wonder why most of the
women had stopped writing. They had
not stopped, they had finished. They all
knew that particular one by heart.
Two weeks later there was another
meeting in that same schoolhouse and.
meanwhile, there had been great excite
ment and talk of a super criminal, for the
little post-office had been robbed. and
among other things went the old mail sack
containing the poison pen letters-everv
scrap OF evidence there was against the
writer of them. But it turned out to be
Just plain everyday robbery and the
thieves threw away the letters with the
other valueless plumber, near Belvidere.
ILL.,, and all were recovered.
AT this meeting the flappers and youths
were excluded, and only the more serious
minded older people were there, and these
were serious indeed Lawyer Haugen
took charge, explained that the various
specimens had been compared with tbe
mysterious letters, and that they were no
longer mystery. He then read a list of
names of those who were proved innocent
That list contained just forty-five names
put fOrty-slX had taken the test. The
forty-slxth person was conspicuous by her
absence-as many eager eyes noted.
The missing name is that of a woman
no longer young. Whether the matter will
be pushed further depends on two oues-
tons: Would jury send a woman who
vs. not young to prison? Would the tax
payers think it worth the expense of a
trlai TO punish one who probably now
knows better than to offend again?
Whatever is done, hatreds, some of
them five years DID, have at last been
buried. The moment the reading was over.
Miss Emma Boness arose, and in tears
expressed her thanks that no longer would
suspicion lie against her. Mrs Bertha
Koepke and Mrs. Ole Oleson said the
same thing. 1t is the women who want the
case pushed and the guilty punished, and
the men who talk about expenses and
taxes. The one person whose name was
not spoken at the meeting at all now
knows the meaning of the expression.
