ny SIX o'clock that night q small

business section and stoutish Mother
Krule was in danger Of her life.

I cried to my partner. Even If the
woman was Prussian, poisoning Paris

"All the same" answered Sam, wed

"Discreet, hell That mild eyed old
woman wouldn't bash a mosquito.
There's talk that Fred Wallace has
been hanging round Josephine"
Fred's brother, Asher, was lying close
to death. He'd eaten three Of the
poisoned puffs and Fred's mouth was
largest in affecting retribution."
We'll, what if he has?"
Put two and two together. A
thoroughly vile woman is behind all
this, getting town patriots to pull
her chestnuts from the fire. I'm going
to get some sensible men together to
stand by Mother Krule. She's no more
German than you or Mike Hogan"
I got Uncle Joe Fodder. Judge Amos
Farmer, and Sheriff Amos Crumpett.
Sam later followed. ITO protect you"
he said.
At a quarter to eight we got out to
Putney street. We found Mother Krule
sitting on a crate in a little shed at
the foot of her garden. She had no
where else to hide We saw her face
tear smeared when we finally gained
entrance.
Wen see you amt hurt, ma'am,"
said grim Tipped Sheriff Crumpett.
We hadn't been with the woman ten
minutes before one of the Price boys
came tearing through the garden.

Turning his pistol about as a black

hoodlums in groups. l fought to get
up and Once more was knocked pros

surprise.
Mrs. Krule had escaped. While the
sheriff had argued with Wallace in
front, Sam Hold had kicked boards
from the structure in the a He
had helped the woman out and over
a wall. I found her later at my part
ner's home when I came to report the
firing of the cottage.
For that cottage was fired. Benny
Sibley tearfully confessed next day that
he'd used a club to break a window
and touched a match to an inside lace
curtain.
Il thought it was all right" he blub-
bered. We're at war with Germans,
amt we?"
The Putney street corner was aflare
with yellow red. The small wooden
structure blazed and burned like
kindling. That stopped the conflict
somewhat. And some n a sense
to turn IN an alarm.
Up Elm street came the wagons,
sirens heightening the tumult. The
chemical car first, with men dropping
off to link hose with hydrants. The
fire engine next, sparks flying bizarrely

Mrs. Krule's little home was already

wrathy judge responded. IF they
won't stop this nonsense, wash ZEN

Mrs. Krule had risen from her chair
and come in front of Judge Farmers
table. She leaned upo it, her face
ten inches from the rueful selectman's.

Mother Krule did.
However, she didn't whale them.
Gertrude admitted once in my hear

occasionally at the commencement of
her guardianship, the foster mother
laid neither palm nor stick on her
charges. Josephine Sibley might have

are as she stands In her garden while

indeed, to think of the tousle headed
little roughneck who smashed glass and
fired lace curtains, as the guiding
brains of that lone gray, snarllng thing
of inexpressible -ower that must mount
up SO far some nights that the rotund
little old lady in the garden can't see

He had brought an %antiquated horse

brandished 1t suggestively as the
fraught moments passed.
The mob came up Elm street and
turned tt e far corner. Up Putney
street they spilled, red fire torches
blazing. They had found the red fire
in the depot supply room.
"Mein Gottl Mein Gott!" cried the
fear crazed bakeress.
Keep quiet" ordered Farmer. Don't
squeal till you're hurt"
The crowd reached the street directly
before the house. Bv sheer press of
numbers it broke fiat the fence. In
a mischief bent juggernaut of devasta-

the first crash of glass, Sheriff Crum-
petit sterned out.

Every person in the mob heard the
old mans an~r' challenge.
Fred Wallace was ring leader; there
was no doubt about it. He spread out
both arms at his back. They later
pushed him forward with his fellows
by milling weight of numbers.

half a dozen voices. The red fire blazed
higher. It lighted the district with
barbaric nimbus.
Uncle Joe Fodder got out beside
Farmer. His voice cracked queerly.
"Th' first man who makes a move t

The vandals saw his pistol. Many
of them quailed.

An ugly pushing started anew. Wal
lace slid before it. Uncle Joe steadied
his pistol on a forearm. I saw 1t belch

doubled like a jack knife. Then real

A barrage of the brickbats rained
down upon the tool shed. Only Uncle
