moment my church Is full. For the
protection Of the members of both
race you had better hurry. We aim
to Highland not with words"
The telephone clicked and Rev.
Thomas arose. His little group OF
members watched him. The sound
OF the National Anthem was still
vibrating through the church.
The sobs of Mother Clark was
broken with, Joe my boy, tell me
what you have done"
Joe was silent but into his eyes
crept a look Of gadness. When the
he spoke his voice ran triumphant
ly.
II killed him mother. / killed
him with my bare hands and I'm
glad OF it." He threw back his head
and laughed happily.
The little group shuddered at
the sinister words and the cool
laugh, almost mainacal in its in
tensity.
Rev. Thomas laid his hand gent
ly on the shoulder of Joe as he
asked, Whom did you kill, Joe?"
Jim Streeter." Joe answered
savagely as a look of hatred came
into his eyes.
Mother Clark gave a low moan
and fell unconscious.
Willing hands sprang to her as
sistance. Mrs. II. w. Jones drop
ped her grand dame air as she
drew Mother Clark close, while she
rubbed her wrinkled hands gently.
Matter Fisher, the nurse, after
one look at Mother Clark's face,
hurried in search Of a doctor.
Joe, his moment of madness
passed, stood looking down at his
mother while tears gathered In his
eyes and rolled down his cheeks
and dropped one by one on his
mothers snow white hair.
I'm sorry mother, but 1 had to
do it. 1t didn't want to hurt you

had to pay it," he repeated over
and over.
AS the door opened to admit DR.,
Brown, the last strains Of the Ma
tional Anthem waited in, while
family came the sound of a police
siren, growing louder as it came
nearer.
DR.. Brown, his eyes full of pro-
fessonal concern, bent over the UNI
conscious form of Mother Clark as
he felt her pulse.
There was a loud knock on the
door and some one said, police.
All eyes turned to Joe who
squared his shoulders as he said
I'm ready. Let them come"
Looking the police straight in thu
eyes, Rev. Thomas asked, "Ar'
you prepared to do your duty al
police officers to your prisoner
Are you ready to protect this mar
from that mob.
Officer O'Neil, considered one Of
the fairest policemen on the force
answered
Indeed and we are prepared
The prisoner will not be harmed
Our mayor says there will be nc
lynching in Carselie."

SILENT COUNSELOR
(By ALMA BEAN Lovingly

One woman, seeing the shining
axe for the first time, gave a faint
moan and fell In swoon, while the
American flag that always hung
between the two big doors fell, al
most enveloping her in its folds.
AS Jason reached the door his
voice rang out,
open the door for them"
The ushers, their eyes large with
fright, slowly shook their heads.
Again Jason spoke. This time
louder and more authoritive.
Another crash. Again and again
the axe fell. The white hands OF
the axe weilder could be plainly
seen.
Again the axe came down. This
time the dim faces of the mob
shone ghost-like In the dim light
from over the church door.
Again Jason spoke.
Give me the key, they are de-
termined to enter. Why not invite
them in?"
There was a sharp click and the
battered door opened wide. The
mob, disconnected for an instant,
made a rush for the door. A white
woman led them. Her hair hung
about her shoulders and her eyes
were blazing as she Kissed.
Eve want Joe Clark. Give him to
us and no one else will be injur-
ed"
The hymn died away as Jason's
clear voice answered.
Sorry, but we are not in the
habit of turning people over to
mobs to be lynched."
"Then we must take him." and
she threw back her head as she
called, Come on and get Joe
Clark, the murderer"
AS the mob surged forward,
Jason squared his shoulders, those
terrible shoulders that football
players on many gridiron had
learned to fear, then made a flying
leap Tor the door.
There was a scream and grunts
of surprise and dismay from the
mob.
Jason tore through the door with
fists flying like bullets, as men,
bers OF the mob fell down the
church steps dragging others with
them.
Cries of, Lets take that smart
h, one is as good as another.
"All right" cried JASON" Come
and get me-
Reaching down and snatching W
the American flag he threw II
around his shoulders as IL In de-
Tense. The red and white stripes
lay like a kingly robe over his
broad shoulders.
No one knew who suggested It
but the organ broke into the SOU

A silence while the music vibratet

the savage mob on the outside.
Another drama was being en-
acted in another part Of the little
brick church. In the pastors study
a small group was standing still
and tense behind the locked door
Mother Clark, still clingine
tightly to Joe, was sobbing heart
brokenly, while Joe soothed and
Rugged her closer.
Rev. Thomas was at the tele-
phone. He was talking in a quiet
even tone but each word was
punctuated and sharp as he EN-
phasized them by striking the
large oak table with his fist. He
was talking to the mayor Of the
city.

Of course, Blacky was tiekled. He
went back where he had found that
old rag and looked around every
where, hoping to find another. How
ever. there were no more rags. so
Blacky contented himself with a
mouthful of wool from some of
Farmer Browns sheep. He had found
this up in the old pasture, where it
had clung to some brambles all Winter.
This, too. was received with approval
by Mrs. Blacky.
So at last the nest was finished.
AS I have said before, it was rough
on the outside, very rough, for the
ends of sticks stuck out at all direc-
tions. But there was nothing rough
about the inside of that nest. No. sir,
there was nothing rough about that.
