Where The Robbep Surrendered

hour with him in front Of the little bank
one evening last week
las a matter OF fact" he continued II
am satisfied to know that winged the rob
Der and that he Is IN jail, without taking
any OF the banks money. When Mr.. Max
field left me alone in the bank, felt that
1t was up to me to take care Of 1t. Natur~
ally then, when this man Kirby, or what
ever his right name may be, came hustling
into the bank ten minutes before closing
time, and with a gun in his hand, said:
Kid its up to YOU and by the way, those
are his exact words, I naturally wished TO
show him that It really was up to me- and
that was equal to the emergency"
Roy Maxfield, q bright young flnancier,
who has charge of the bank as cashier
says he will take no active part in the ef-
fort to secure Carnegie medal for the
boy, for the reason that he feels so closely
related to him, that he doubts the propriety
OF his taking active part in the proposition.
II will say, however" remarked Cashier
Maxfield, that dozen gold medals would
be only an inadequate reward for this lad.
He did something that most men would
have failed to do, and while our deposits
fully were covered by burglar insurance, and
there would have been no loss either to us
OF the depositors, II the man had carried
off every cent in the bank, the fact re-
mains that we are heartily glad that the
robber was folled. No bank likes to hear
of q successful raid on its treasury, even
though insurance protects against loss.
Bank robbery is out Of date in civilized
communities, and since our boy has shown
that Iowa has a way OF It's own in dealing
with bank robbers, It Is hardly probable
that any further depredatons will be at
tempted in this vicinity for a long while.
We are proud of Walter for his act and
are rejoiced that he only wounded the
robber instead Of killing him outright, for
it is better to let the law deal with him.
However. even II he had killed Kirby, 1
consider the act would have been perfectly
justihable.
zone of the remarkable features of the
case is the extreme GOODNESS OF the boy,
Immediately after wounding the robber and
led him TO jail. Inside OF a few minutes
after the lock clicked with Kirby on the
inside, walter was back in the bank adding
up long columns of figures with an accu-
rRcy and precision that would do credit
to veteran bookkeeper. When re-
turned from the picnic, Rcutsly concerned,
of course, over the reports I had heard,
Walter was much more calm than any
of the men I met on the streets. That boy
simply has an imperturable nerve, and
with that nerve goes a sense of loyalty
that makes him at once an ideal bank em-
ploye."

He was born In the village OF Weston. Pot

Bankers associations are discussing him.
Shertffs and police chiefs are writing him
congratulatory letters. Photographers from
every direction are beseiging him to pose
before the camera. Postcard manufacturers
are after him Moving picture men are
seeking a rehearsal Of the thrilling en-
counter that made the boy famous. He Is,
in short the cum laude lad OF Iowa,-and
yet the head OF the boy has not been
turned, thanks to his phlematic Soandi-
navian temperament and he is the game

before ne shot and captured Tom Kirby,
the man who admits that he entered the
McClelland Savings bank for the purpose
Of footing Il.
''Nogtsrn" Is a Danish word, meaning
sober, steady and nervy," and in view OF
the effective manner In which young
Julius guarded the bank when II was left
in his charge while Cashier Maxfield went
TO a picnic, It appears obvious that the
boy is abundantly endowed with ''nogtern."
w. H. Quick, one OF Pottawatamie coun-
TVS big implement dealers, who sells the
plows that tickle the undred-dollar-a n-acrs
land contiguous 70 McCielland, has taken
the iniative in calling the attention OF the
Carnegie medal commission to the brave
act Of the young Dane. Mr.. Quick hopes
TO bring the case within the stipulated
conditions, but whether Walter julius is
granted a Carnegie medal or not, he win
long be catalogued among the brave In
western Iowa, and il is believed that the
only possible barrier In the way OF his
securing the medal will be the possible in

and closed the telephone.
Considerable discussion has been had az
to why the robber did not shoot the boy
either in the bank before he fled or in the
cornfield, where the boy followed him.
Kirby is quoted as saying that he could
have killed the lad, but did not wish to do
It. Cashier Maxfleld, after making complete
investigation, is OF the opinion that young
Julius would have been shot and possibly
killed except for the fact that the robbers
pistol failed to work. Originally he had two
revolvers when he entered the bank, but
as he fled he dropped one Of them, which
examination revealed was a splendid fire
arm. The other weapon was old and some
what rusty. II is agreed that when con-
fronted in the cornfeld quarter of a mile
distant from the bank Kirby trisd to pull
his gun on the boy. Therefore. Cashier Max
field attributes his failure to shoot to the
defective mechanism.

He might be drowned; but when he went
under, he would go fighting. He was a
man! And suddenly Virginia felt herself
strengthened and comforted. Death was
due every one at some time. Why not
now? Why whimper and shrink from

she advanced the spark; and went to the
side to see the effect. They were lower,
now and the truss work in which Carson
hung must be in or near the crest Of the
sWells; but the ''screek'' OF the file went
on-not so strong, perhaps, but steadily
sull, and the paen OF the unconquerable
spi OF the man clinging to the truss work
beneath her. II was grand. It was i'm

rose to the prosaic "screek, screek" Of a

The file stopped for a minute

Again the file began its work. The inn
mediate danger was over; but both the
man below and the girl in the car knew
that the terrific consumption OF gas in the
engines made the seconds too precious for
use In conversation. A minutes supply
OF gas ten seconds supply, one seconds
supply might save their lives IN the home
stretch when the chain should be filed
through, and they should take their flight
toward land-to make triumphant landing
after this deadly peril, or 20 sink in the
waves from Which they were now fighting
10 save themselves. The roar OF the ma.

wEare he chung, now, trying his pliers on
the chain. The submarine seemed IN no
way interested at first; but presently her
black shadow grew more distinct, the
round deck broke water; and as the man
hole opened, Wilmer appeared and aimed at
Carson, coOlly, as at target. Too hastily,
Virginia fired; the bullet struck the edge
or the deck with a vicious pat. Wizners
pistol spoke, the bullet striking metal, flew
singing away but the girl replied with
third shot OF this strange duel. She braced
herself against the rail, aimed conscient-
iously at the middle of the mark presented
by the william below, and fired,-fired with
the curious GERTRUDE the marksman feels
when he Is making good shot. Wilmer
had Just lifted his arm TO fire again; but
his hand fell as II struck down by a giants
blow; he dropped back into the darkness
like a shot wood chuck, the manhole
closed, and the submarine went on toward
deep water as grimly as before
"All right down herei" sang out Car
son. How are you on deck2'
"All right here" said she. do you
tank they'll shoot any more?''
No" said Theodore. but watch the
maShole just the same. I shall have to
file the chain, The pliers won't dol"
The girl waited. II was well for her
that she had something 20 do; otherwise
her reason might have given way She
stood by the rail with tho pistol in her
hand, listening to the "screek. screek" OF
the file on the chain. Suddenly this sound
stopped, and she heard Carson calling.
They've hove TO-" said he Il think
they're going TO try drowning us here
Don't lose control OF yourself-remember
this is a fight, and We aren't whipped yet.
Do you hear?'
Yes" said she. "But It's 30 awful So
awfull II you were only up here where
you could Tell me what to dol Tell me
what TO do"
do you see how the chain shortens?'
asked Carson shes going down. II the
waters deep enough she can drown US,
unless We can overcome her gravity Turn
the index so as 20 show a dead-down
thrust Of the blades-aud then fun power
on the last speed. It will take fuel. but
it's the only wayl Hurryl"
The airship sank, sank, nearer and
nearer to the water; but without waiting
to learn how the girl was carrying out his
orders, Carson again attacked the chain,
and the shrill "sereek" OF the file greeted
Virginia's ears again, as she turned the
indicator and threw on the power As
they had never done before, the great en-
gines purred, the wing blades trod the air
with a terrific roar; but with remorseIess
suotion-Iike force the submarine drew her
down closer, closer 70 the water. and she
seemed lost The sinking was slower,
now; but nevertheless more and more of
