 Springfield, Mass. Sept. 26 LiP, - Responding 10 @ telephone appeal , early today, Henry Kouillard. gar ldener at Deeplawn. the Long meadow residence of MT. and Mrs. Douglass '. Wallace, engaged in a pistol duel with a burglar who was at work in the house and received q serious but not necessarily fatal wound in the abdomen. The in- trudcr made his escape with sloD in cash but that he was driven off before he had opportunity to collect more IS due entirely to the readi- ness with which Eouillard responded to a call from Mrs. Wallace. h. ability Of the authorities to find trace of the one bullet fired by Rouillard leads to the belief that 1t may have found a target in the burglars body.
 Head of Large Store MT. Wallace, who is vice president of Forbes and Wallace, Inc, one of the largest department stores in western New England. was awaken cd just before daylight by tine bur glar but before he could arm him. self was ordered back to bed by the masked man. who spoke few words Of reassuranCe to Mrs. Wal lace. Wallace obeyed the burglars command. The man thereuron re- sumed his search for valuaDlrs in an adjacent boudoir. From where he was working he could see neither MT. nor Mrs. Wallace and the latter slipped from the room and from another part Of the house telephoned Rouillard, who was sleeping in the gardeners cottage some distance from the residence. Rouillard ran to the mousse, worked his way upstairs and confronted the burglar, who, evidently prepared for such a contingency, opened fire as Rouillard appeared.
 Fires Five shots
 He fired five shots while Rouil- lard was firing single one and as the gardener dropped rushed from the house. The roar of a starting motor soon aftcrward gave clue to the manner of the mans escape.
 Rouillard was rushed to q local hospital and local and state police were notified. II is not yet possible to tell whether the bullet that struck the courageous gardener penetrated a vital organ.
