told you so! Didn't I? OF course
did, and now you may send the news
to Maria. By this time everybody knows
it or should know that Winski, for
short, when taking a farewell from his
Boss, the Gar, remarked, or said in
words to that effect, IF | should do
Togo, I will telephone you Immediately;
but if he should play the rosy with me,
you will get the details from Toxic.
Whether to go or not to go is hard
proposition, but I'll not chew the rag
about it, if | can reach out for chunk
of pie. I've about made up my mind to
hit that old Rooster in the neck and
I'll take his scalp or bust a strap Or Ill
get squeezed in the scufffe, but I'll not
take to water, if | can get something
better. even at the risk of my finally
being carried home in the Police Patrol
or on a dray, boozed up with the oil of
joy
This is the speech reduced down to
fraction which is credited to Winskl
when addressing his Royal Nibs, the
Gar, which was, as told over an under
grounl electric wire. specially detached
from the main guy for the occasion. 1t
was hot stuff, something On the order
of Chill Concarne and was acclaimed
with tumultuous applause.
You will remember that after Win
ski and his parter, Notgoodenough, had
skipped to sea, by the light of the moon,
little was heard of the jolly pair until
they struck French water, and there
Winski started to blowing his bazoo.
He even attempted several grand -four
ishes but he soon discovered he was not
the whole cheese, as there were others
not so deep dyed in the wool, as this
Russian. You will recall the fact that
after Toxic had raised sand by kicking,
that Johnnie Bull began to growl and
switched his tail threateningly and that
Johnnie Crepau solemnly emphasized
that no aid or comfort had been given
the enemy, but while Toxic was bawl-
ing, Winski was fulling up with coal and
grub, and when he had fulled UP to the
brin he was given the fifteenth order,
in French to move on and he did, when
he got ready. He then disappeared as
if he had been lost in the shuttle, but he
was only monkeying around trying to
throw Togo off his base, but Togo is not
that kind of man ,and, as he is up to
snuff, he couldn't be bluffed. However,
Winski who has always believed that he
was a Smart Aleck, thought he had put
the Kibosh over Togo's eyes and started
for the Corean Strait regardless of any
jamboree, but Togo who was laying low
and keeping his eyes peeled, never whim-
pered He only signaled his crew to be
mum but to keep their eyes on the cor
ners and then when Winski was laugh
ing in his sleeves and counting the
chickens before the eggs had been laid
Togo jumped On him with both feet. 1t
was then that the hair and the full flew
and hell broke loose in Georgia. Such
caterwampus and catterwaller was
never heard this side of Jericho. In a
jiffy Winski was knocked out baldhead-
ed the first dash OUT of the box He
called to his partner for help, but Goody
for short, had his hands full and was
busy. 1t was regular running sea fight
with one of the great blowhards of Rus.
