DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT I BIDAY, I ERIU ARY a, 1932.

Ths House of the Three Ganders By Irving Bacheller I Copyrluhl-vby Irvins Bacheller. (WNU Service) "What’s that? Bony asked. “I’ve bbeen drunk ag'in. Met an I old comrade. We got to talkin’ bout lhe second day at Gettysnurg. ; There's suthln' c’.ir’tts bout Gettysi burg. It’s slippery ground. He | had a bottle, we walked Io Brown's , i cove in the cool o’ the night mi’ got ) ! drunk on the way. We sot down I here an’ fit the Confeds till daylight. If 1 could fergit Gettysburg ' i an’ some other things. I'd be respectable." They ale n moment in silence. I Then Bumpy added: "One drink will put the devil in me. The old sores liegiii to bleed. But I’m through by Jeedix! Never ; i Ito more whisky for me. I'm through. The woman has looked purlt solemn sim-e then." He carved lhe birds mid loaded their [ilmes. It was no time for Idle words. Talk was not resumed : until each had dulled Ids ;tpi>ctite <>n the bonis. Then Bumpy began | sliis tales of thrilling ami improbable ! adventure. When the boys thanked him mid j hade him good-by the sun was low. ; They left witii a most friendly feel- 1 ■ ing for the old man. One day Mr. Smithers sent Shod ) down Io Cyrus Doolittle's with ;i i 1 package of merlieine which Imd come up on the stage for old os- I car Perry, the fat her-in law of Cy- ] ■ ms. Here was (he fll-fnted bouse , which Shad was never to forget. The old gentleman was sitting in a wlieel-chalr. Hi' bad the worried, sori rowful look of tin 1 strong man who | has had bis warnjng. He had been I I I'artly paralyzed by a stroke. Ills . . daughter, Mrs. Doolittle, opened the door for Shml. She was mi erect ‘ | handsome woman with a face sonic ! I what careworn, but still comely. Tin l house liad a gloomy amide ; ] pressing atliwspliere. There was a . i solemn note in Hie In king of Hie ' j old family clock. After all. houses ] j have n kind of character. Cyrus Doolittle and his son. Moses, a hoy ; ] of Shad's age. were cleaning a pair | ] of colts tethered on the burn tloor. . His errand accomplished. Shml j went mu for a look at the colts. The hoy turned from bis work to speak ! to Shad. His fatlie.- rebuked him, ! saying: "Come. boy. I'm in » hurry to get away. I’.rtng Hie harness." Turning to the young clerk, he asked: "Young man. are you loallng j today?" "No. sir.” “Well, you don't seem to be very busy." 'Die tall, brown bearded, gray- ' eyed man bad spoken in Ids bustling manner without stopping his work. Late in the afternoon of the memorable tenth of November Shad had gone down the rmnl some two miles to collect a bit l . Darkness overlook i him on his way back. He was hungry and hurrying with a bicycle kin- j tern in bis hand, so as not to bo too . late for bis supper. When about ! , a quarter of a mile front the store i lie dimly saw a man approaching . him nt a rapid pace. He could hear Ids footsteps on the rough frozen road. Shad stopped. The man ' had turned suddenly, some sixty pares from where Shad was stand- j ifig. got over the fence mid hnr- ’ rich away in the dnrknos-. As Shml came near the store he saw a crowd i of people in 4110 street. M“n were ! I shouting. Hysterlial women were i crying. Sbnd ran toward the crowd i ■in front of the store. Bony was I there. | “What’s the mutter?" Shmkaaked. “What’s the mutter! Why, some i man just bust Into Cy Doolßle’s ) house- not ten minutes ago—an’ i shot tip the bull fam’ly, murdered i ’em right an' left. The of man is t ; killed. Mis' Doolittle an’ the teach- ' I <T is over to Slips Meriwether's mow’ i dead mi’ bleedin' aw ful. It was like . 1 a battle in the war. ’ j A singular paralysis of fear and distress had fallen upon rhe good j ; people of that village. A few men 1 ' had rushed out i» tiie roads and ! fields in a vain quest for the crim- I inal.

"Come on! 1 saw him," Shad ! said to Bony, mid the two ran nt top speed down the road toward i the fence where Shad had seen the man climb over the fence and vanl Ish in the darkness. It was near : the Ihdy [’lnce. The man must I have gone around the barns and I then whither. It was impossible to I say. The Im»\s were in deadly fear • of finding the criminal but saw noj body. “We’re darn* fools," said Bony as they were wearily walking back. "Wil t would we have done with I him mi' what would lie have done Ito us? They say ol’ Bumpy Brown ; is flic murderer.” “Isird. no!” Shad ex l.iimed. "It ! Can't be." “Less he's gone crazy. Two men have rttti down the river to see If , he’s to home." So began flic wildest night in Hie history of Amity Dani. Divested of all the ewitement and I wild rumor of that night, this is the ' prolilem—one of the most remark- : able in the criminal records of our ) country. Mrs. Doolittle, her invalid father, her son Moses, a boy of twelve, mid Henry f’ierson. a bmidsoaie welldressed young man of nineteen from Ashfield who was teaching in Hie school at Amity Dam. were silting around the evening lamp, about seven o'clock, the work of the day being tinlslicd. Cyrus Doolittle Imd gone to Grlggsby, some fifteen miles away. Suddenly Ibis family group heard : a rap at lhe front dour. The hoy Moses ran mid opened it. A limn, ma' l.ed in a peculiar way. stood before b'm. He wore a small, light- • c olored slouch hat, tan overalls and I a coat of the s.iitm material. His I lai-e was (overed with a red and I white limullien liief. Thu imui advanced into Hie room holding n re- ■ | volver in his right linpd. the boy ; lied before him through a d or at the bmk of tt )e house. The intruder walked with Hie linqi of Humpy Brow:i. Henry Pierson bravely took a stop toward him. The li'st bullet was tired al the young : man. breaking his left arm at the elbow. Siiocked mid frightened, the laiter partly fell on a lounge, then j ran out of the open door calling for i help. The masked man fired at Mrs. , Doolittle, who had risen from her; chair. The bull struck her breast! above her heart mid glanced, |ietiei rating the flesh of her shoulder. She did not fall. She stood appalled. : lhe man appreached her. Then I came a curious factor in the prob- I lem. Ho stood for a second, close : lo her, the revolver pointed at her] face. He did not tire. This gave i color to the theory that she was • not tiie one that he had come lo kill. He dealt her something between a blow am] a vigorous push with his left hand. It ap|ieared that lie was trying to get her out of the scene. She fell, qitiekty recovered her feet and ran through the ojien door ; from which her .son ami young Iverson had tied into the darkness beyond. As she tell old Oscar Perry, Iler invalid father, threw himseff forward Hoo.i his chair nad seized the skirts of the intrader's coat and clung »o them with his strong ' The masked man clubbed him with his revolver but still lie £ y > The Masked Man Clubbed Him With His Revolver, but Still He Clung, i , clung. Two shuts with the muzzln of Hie weapon close to the invalid’s | neck loosened his hold. The old | man slumped to the floor. The murderer ran out into the ! ! darkness and away, tiring a shot as j ]be went. All t’ Is hud been accum- j

plished In less than a minute. Mrs. | Doolittle, her son and the teacher ; had fled to n neighbor's bouse, and * help had been sent to (iscar Perry. News of the crime sped through the village like a wind-driven Arc in dead grass. Within five minutes lhe ■ wires were flashing it through the I county. Doctors, the district attorney, the sheriff, the county judge | were presently speeding toward the I little village of Amity Dam. The lights were burning most of lhe night in Ephraim Smithers' store. For a time it was tilled with excited residents. Most of them agreed Him Bumpy Brown was the guilty man. With these Shml and Bony openly took issue. “He wouldn't have done It even If he was drunk." they said. "He's , the most harmless critti-r in the world when he’s drunk." “What was he always knockin’ the Doolittles for?” the doubters I asked. ! The boys Imd to acknowledge ' | that they did not know, that it was probably some crazy notion he bad ] got in bis head. About nine o'clock n man entered I the store with important news. Cy Doolittle had Just got home with : lathered Imrses. He had arrived at ’ Asbticld and heard of the crime 1 j aliout eight-thirty and driven like | mad to his house. He was over ! to Meriwether's where bis wife lay i dying. He had said that Bumpy Brown was the only man lie knew ' who had a grudge against him. He i had put Brown off bis place one day ; wlien the old man h id sworn that I he would got even. Moreover, the newcomer announced ! (I’.-tl the doctors had come mid were |; then working over Mrs. Doolittle, young Pierson am! the old man | Perry, who was nearly dead. The ■) sheriff, the district attorney and the J county judge were nt the Doolittle , house looking over Hie ground. Soon these ministers of Justice 'came to Hie Store, Colmtel Blake] ' gave Shad a hearty greeting. Tiie ] colonel was calm mid dignified. He 1 said to the boy : "My wife and I have done a l»t of talking about yon. Wo have enjoyed your letters ” Shml told of Hie nmn who appronehed him in the road and took to the fields when lie saw the boy mid Ins bicycle lantern. "That Is curious.” said the colonel. I "W'e may hear more about him. First, well have some crackers and ] cheese mid ginger ale.” While Hie officials were eating, the I two nicn who had gone down the | river arrived with 'old Bumpy Brown. A sileii- e fell as they entered. llm tinker, who preceded i Hie tien. looked pale and serious. A voice from a huddled group near the door, clearly audible to all in the room, said: "He's a d —n murderer!” Colonel Blake turned quickly and said: “Look here, my friends. It Is for me to say who is Hie murderer, not you. I request you all to go to I your homes and beware of hasty judgments, hi the excitement of this hour it is easy to lie w rong." He turned to Mr. Fniithers nml said: “If you will ask these good people to go home, and lock your door. I shall perhaps be able to nrrive at some conclusion of my own." The villagers slowly filed out nf the store. The door was locked. Bumpy Brown, the two men who i liad found him, the officials, Mr. ' Smithers and Shad wore now present. Colonel Blake turned to the I tinker, saying: “Is this Mr. Brown?” j “Yes. sir." “I am the district attorney of this I coitn’y. and here is Sheriff Coie- | well mid this is Judge Swift You i know, 1 presume. Hint a crime wns ! committed about seven ,o’clock this ) evening nt lhe home of Cyrus Doolittle.” “These men has told me," Bumpy answered. '‘You perhaps do tint know that i Mr. Doolittle and others suspect : you of being the criminal.” “They didn't tell me what Cy Doolittle siiid. hut they told tne what other folks was sayin'. They sold th» murderer had a limp like mine. Well, mister. I can’t help it If lie did. I ain't hurt nobody. When I come tn here every one had a knife in his eye fer ol’ Bumpy ] Brown, I'm nil 'lone in the world. I ain't got no friends, hut I tell ye | I nin't hurt nobody since I was a j soger an' It was my business to hurt folks." ] Tnere was a touch of pathos tn ' the voice of the man as lie spoke ] these words.

CHURCH REVIVALS By W. F. Beery. Jhe usual capacity crowd was in attendance at the services at the] First M. E. church on last evening to hear a wonderful message by Dr. Bulgin. A special feature of the song service which begins each evening at) 7 oi lock was a very splendid and | touching duet by Mrs. Dan Tyndall and Mrs. C. K. Bell, “Too lavte. You j Catimu Enter Now.” They were accompanied by Mrs. Avon Burk at the organ. The work of Mrs. Avon Burk at] the organ and of Miss Louise Haubold at the piano has been of in-] estimable value to the campaign ol Dr. Buigin and Prof. Clark. They have been on the job practically: ‘(’very night for the past three) weeks. Mrs. Dan Tyndall has also' given of her time and talent to the! cause. Rev. Franklin has shown tiis sterling work as a loader and i ■stabilizer of the church during the l three weeks past. His counsel has been wise and his cooperation with i the evangelist has been splendid. (Under his leadership the church should continue to move forward ,to greater success. The subject for Friday night will : be. "Was Moses Scientific?'' This, will lie one of the greatest sermons ■ of the present series of meetings. 1 The subject for last night's ser- ; mon was. "What Think Ye of ]Christ.' Some ot the things said by the evangelist follow: Religion touches t Ise deepest! springs in a man s life. As proof he offered the evidence of 700 peo-; pie being in attendance at each ; service for three weeks. No polit- ] ical conclave, no social event, no j .athletic contest nor in tact could, any other theme except the reiig- 1 lion of the Lord Jesus Christ sot hold the populace. The culture of Greece, the re-1 .finement. the edjieation of her people and the idol worship made it necessary for the Inrd to find a. man of strong arguing ability ttt .cope with the situation and He laid His hand on Saul who became Paul. Webster says a hypocrite is a; jman who believes one thing and, lives another. The mail out of the I church believes in Christ yet he i does not worship Him. Who,] therefore, is the hypocrite? If you dare not think for your- . i self, you are a coward. i If you caunot. you are a fool. If you will not. you are a bigot. Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. If you could be saved in ! any other way, then the death of Jesus was an extravagant waste and God was a fool. I What think ye of Jesus? Your, s life is your answut*. o—_——_0 —_——_ ] Get the Habit — Trade st Home!
