der way, the vessel would not be
stopped to put him ashore.
This was the reason why an un-
equal fight ensued in which three sail
ormen sought to drag an unwilling
youngster in a plaid suit from the
hold TO the deck that he might be put
of the ship. But the first of the at
lacking force proved himself unfa.
miliar with the strategy of lead with
the left to make an opening for a
swing with the right, and so this lat
ter blow caught him on the chin and
he went down and out. The second
sailor was squarehead and rushed
his antagonist. The stowaway ducked
and the force of the Swede increased
the severity of mighty jab with the
right in the pit Of the stomach, which
hapDened at the time to be unusually
full, and the attacker crumbIed with
an agony in his inwards. The stow
away grappled with the third man
and showed an additional knowledge
of the science of the rough and tum-
BILE. He twisted one of that individ-
uaps hands behind him and pushed 1t
up, using the favorite jiu jitsu trick
that American policemen have Dor
rowed from the Japanese. In this
way he had his man at his mercy.
Shades of Carlosi came a roar
from the doorway in most indifferent
Spanish. Where did you learn it
all?"
The stowaway looked up and saw
the huge form of the bearded Russian
who represented the government of
Mexico standing there.
I'm the United States" he answered
in Spanish. "Ah, they are wonderful,
those Americans!"
1t should be remembered that Billy
Gard had lived abroad when a boy
with his father who was in the con-
sular service. He had learned the
languages of the Mediterranean al

most before he spoke English and was
people. And because of this he had
been able to become an Italian stow
away in half an hour at a second
hand store in Brooklyn.
'But why all this fighting?" asked
the Russian.
Il would go back to Italy, bon Italy"
said the stowaway. "These pigs of
sailormen know not how homesick /
am. They would put me ashore. ]
not go. You see the result"
well, you will not be put ashore
now" said the Russian. Il happen
to be interested in this cargo, and
want no delay. You may come on
deck with me-"
1t happened in this way that Billy
Gard went to sea with a large cargo of
Mexican ammunition, little believing
that it would ever cross to Europe.
Since he was aboard and might not
be otherwise disposed of, the Italian
captain set him to work as clerk,
and got much good service out OF him
on the ships books before land was
again sighted. 1t happened in this
way, also, that he was given an OPP
portunity to study and cultivate G. Eg-
eloff, but little came of it because of
the all-sufficiency of that gentleman
within himself.
Gard was greatly surprised when
the city Of Naples maintained her
course straight across the Atlantic.
Even more surprised was he when she
passed in at Gibraltar, ignored the
ports of Spain, sailed past the towns
OF her nativity in Italy and on TO the
east. Not until the Dardanelles and
the Bosporus were passed was he
convinced that she was bound for the
port for which she had cleared. But
after six weeks at sea she reached
Odessa, on the Black sea, and there
put into port.
But at Odessa the unexpected hap
pened. The authorities, being by tenn
permanent suspicious and ever-vigilant
of anarchistic plots, refused to let the

Egeloff stormed and swore and bribed.
but all to no avail. The ammunition
might not be landed.
Billy Gard managed to get ashore
and find his way to the American con-
sulate. From there he was able to
make his report to the home Office and
receive instructions that he was to
remain with the ammunition cargo.
The special agent found his task
comparatively easy here, and merely
had to wait for events to take their
normal course. His chief interest was
Egeloff, who had remained mys-
tery to him despite senifriendship
that had slowly grown up between
them. He had attempted in vain to
lead the Russian into a discussion Of
his future plans in Mexico, and had
grown to suspect that the gentleman.
had no such plans. At Odessa the
big man seemed impatient of delay,
and, Gard thought, rather reckless of
the disposition of his charge.
The representative of the United
States had been contemplating the
value of the guns bought at Valentines
and the figure of $750.0O0 which the
Lily Maid had caught from the lips of
the interpreter. He knew that the
purchases at Hartford had not exceed
ed 100000 He drew the conclusion
that this strange representative of the
Indian head of a Latin-American ma
ton would probably give less than
value for the $4,000, 900 that had been
placed in his hands for the purchase
OF American munitions of war.
The special agent was still attached
to the City of Naples as clerk when,
after ten days of futile attempts at
landing her cargo, she again turned
her nose to the sea. She was two
days out when he became assured of
a fact which he had suspected. The
Russian was not aboard. The ship
Wauwatosa news. [volume] (Wauwatosa, Wis.) 1900-1948, 1916-10-06

picked her course through the Medi-
terranean, out again past Gibraltar,
but, instead of striking out toward
Mexico as Gard had suspected she
would. she steered to the north and
eventually came to anchor in the port
of Hamburg on a windy morning in
March.
st Hamburg there was assurance of
ability to discharge cargo. No sooner
had the ship tied up than its long-re-
strained personnel of officers and crew
awaited themselves of the freedom of
shore leave. AS the afternoon wore
on, the vessel was deserted with the
exception of the Italian second mate
and a few members of the crew. Gard
stuck to his desk in the purser's cab
in. 1t was from this point of vantage
that he became aware of an alterca-
ton on deck. An American voice was
saying in English:
''Mr. Egeloff; 1 want to see Mr.. Eye
LOFT"
The second mate protested his ina
bility to speak English, whereupon a
second voice repeated the IeQuSsI AZ
Spanish, with no better result. Then
of a sudden a great light seemed to
break on the second mate.
"Ahl ST, senior. If you will be so
good as TO step this way"
Whereupon he led the strangers to
the cabin, where he knew Gard to be
at work, and. remembering that the
supposed clerk spoke many languages,
he turned the visitors over to him.
"Mr. Egeloff?" asked the American,
evidently misinterpreting the action of
the mate.
The special agent was taken entirely
by surprise. The possibilities OF such
a situation had never presented them
selves to him.

LIGHTNING STRIKES HOME
Of R|CHARDT0N FARMER

Nels Nelson, a young farmer resid-
ing about ten miles north of Richard
ton, had a narrow escape from death
carly Tuesday morning when his
residence was struck by lightning.
The electric bolt came down the
chimney and through the cook stove,
scattering fire throughout the room.
Mr.. Nelson, who was standing in the
center Of the room, was rendered un-
conscious and when he came to he
managed in a dazcd way to cxtinguish
flaming pieces of paper that had
been ignitcd from the fire blown
from the stove. Mr.. Nelson was
weak and stiff from the shock and
came to Dickinson the following day
to seek medical aid. The chimney
was entirely demolished and quite a
little damage was done to the house
and stove.
R. F. Flcck, a neighboring farmer,
accompanied Mr.. Nelson to Dickinson
on Wednesday.

many SPLENDID FARM AND
RANCH EXHIBITS At FAIR

The Belfield Farmers Fair was a
big Stark county event on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of last week.
Hundreds Of Slope people gathered at
the hustling little city of Belfeld to
view the many farm and livestock ex-
hibits and enjoy the entertainment
offered. Motion pictures were taken
the final day of the stock parade and
the large crowds that had assembled.
The horse and stock exhibit was
especially good, as was also the dis
play Of farm products, such as
grains, garden truck and other pro-
duce. The vegetables shown COM
pared very favorably with the very
finest specimens shown 1T eastern
fairs, in many instances excelling
anything the writer has ever seen.
Postmasted J. P. Galyen had arrang-
ed comprehensive parcel post dis
play, which YVES both interesting and
Instructive. This exhibit demonstrat-
ed the many uses to which this gov
ernment service could be put, methods
Of packing, tying packages, etc.
A unique feature of the fair was
: the giving away of a 1917 Ford tour
ing car. Nearly all Of the visitors
secured tickets, which We're distrib-
uted by the commercial club. Late
Saturday evening a drawing took
place on the rc:sed platform in the
Street, and Emil Indergaard, son of
Peter Indergaard, residing five miles
east of Bclfeld, was declared the win
ner. The winning of the car came as
a stroke of good fortune to the young
man, as he had about given up plans
of attending college this coming sea-
son on account Of short crops on the
farm. He was offered substantial
cash sum for his prize, which he i'm
mediatel y accepted, obtaining plenty
of money to finance another year in
school,
