THE STORY THIS FAR: Th» Amerl
ran troop« arrived at Adano, a leaport
In Italy, with Major Victor J oppolo,
the Amgot officer in charge. Sergeant
Borth. an MP.. wax In charge ol securi
ty.
The Major set out Immediately to
win the friendship and confidence ol the
citizens and vowed to replace the town
bell, which the Germans had taken. Ma
jor Joppolo talked with Father Penso-
vecchlo, local priest.
He promised the
priest to attend mass the following morn
ing.
When time for mass arrived, the
Major was busy In his office and over
looked the appointment, until church bell
awoke him to the fact that he was late.
He arrived before mass was over, much
to the relief of the priest.
CHAPTER V
Major Joppolo said: "Your au
thority to do what, Gargano?"
Carmelina shouted: "To push his
way to the head of the line in front
of Zapulla's bread shop."
Gargano said: "It is a privilege
the officials of the town have al
ways enjoyed."
Major Joppolo said: “Is that so?”
Gargano said: "I charge this
woman with disturbing the peace
and questioning authority." Gargano
was shrewd in saying this, for he
saw that things were going against
him. and now he had put the matter
on an official rather than a personal
basis. The Major would have to
decide the case officially.
The Major decided with a speed
which dazzled Gargano. He decid
ed that the woman was right but
that he could not say so, because if
he did the Chief would never regain
his authority, and the Major wanted
to keep him in office. Therefore he
said: "I sentence this woman to one
day in jail, suspended sentence. Let
her go, Gargano, and gather all
the officials of Adano for me at
once.”
When Carmelina got outside, she
ran straight back to the bread shop.
The bread was not ready yet, and
the people gave her back her place
at the head of the line and shouted
to her: "What happened, Carmeli
na? What did they do to you?"
Carmelina told what had happened
and she said: "Did you ever hear of
such a light sentence in Adano? I
believe in my heart that the Mister
