It just couldn t happen In Europe. But it did happen right In Boston, In the year 1917 and what's more, Mi Adams can prove it Don is a carpenter, and he's done work all over Ney England. Eng-land. He hopes, though, that he never has to do another job for anybody who even remotely resembles that big stiff he ran up igalnst in Boston. ' Don will never forget his name, but relaying It on to you Is a Job jon't want to tackle, because that bird's monicker was about two feet ::, and full of z's and k's, and neither Don nor I can pronounce It, only two people in tne wnoie world outside of Kinsteln could spell it More Muscles Than Letters in His Name. The fellow, himself, was about as big as his name, and two or three .mesas bard to get along with, lie hadn't been In this country very long aloe spoke darned little English. Don Adams didn't know very much boat nlra, but he had a carpentering job to be done, and Don went to work and did It for him. It was a contract job, and the price agreed upon was a hundred hun-dred and seventy-five dollars. Don finished it up In about three weeks, and during that time he hardly ever saw the big fellow, although his wife and eleven children were home most of the time. Whet je was all through, Don gave his bill to the man's wife and expecting to receive his money before long. Don waited a couple of weeks but no money came. Then he began (et short of dougb and went around to the big fellow's house to see hat was the matter. He rapped at the door and the big fellow himself Ipened it "What you want?" he said, as Don stepped Into the ball. This Was a Reception, but No Tea Party. The big fellow was scowling darkly. He stood facing Don with his pin out-thrust, his arms held out from his sides in a menacing attitude. pin didn't quite know what to make of It "Why, tie said, "I've come for my money." Without saying a word, the big fellow picked up a chair, raised it high In the air and brought it down on Don's head. Don reeled and fell to the floor. The chair had caught him a nasty wallop. "If I know what is coming," says Don, "I can generally manage to ike care of myself. But the thing happened so unexpectedly that I 1 I "Standing Over Me With a Knife In His Hand." idn't have a chance. I got to my feet again, frightened and surprised. Bitarted to call for help, and immediately the chair crashed down on me rain " This time Don tried to dodge the chair. He turned so that It missed ill bead but It hit him In the shoulder and knocked him down again. A tick feeling came over him but he didn't lose consciousness. From what seemed to be a great distance away, he heard the big dlow roaring at him. "Get out of this house," he was bellowing, "and If you ask for money again I cut your head off and burn you up in the tnva " Don struggled to rise managed to prop himself upon on elbow. "I looked at him," be says, "and could see him dimly, standing over ae with a long curved knife In his hand. I was so overcome by fear that 1 thought I must surely collapse. I crawled to the door, got crazlly to my :eet and tried to go out the door. But the door was locked." Don Would Have Sold His Life Cheaply. Don looked at that door with the blank stare of a dazed man. He tonldn't have given a nickel, then, for his chances of getting out of that iwuse alive. Then, from somewhere outside he heard some one yell: "Wait a minute, buddy I'll help you." And at that point Don collapsed and fell to the floor. "I can't remember much after that," Don says. "Two police-men police-men broke down the door and nabbed the big fellow, and then everything went black. The next thing I knew, I was In my own bed, with a doctor and my wife taking care of me." For three weeks Don lay in that bed, unable to walk. When he had Covered enough so that he could hobble about a bit he was summoned attend the big fellow's trial Just Give Him Another Chance at That Guy I And that was where the big stiff got a swell taste of Justice.
