The next morning, being Saturday
he went down the river near the
powder plant, where, the morning
before, he had seen ducks. The
ducks were gone, so, shouldering his
gun, he set off down the river to look
for others. A few miles down he
found good hunting and bagged- two
birds for Sundays dinner. 1t was
dark by this time, and as he passed
the plant, he thought he would go in
and say hello to Tom Smelly. the
night watch. The Waterman was
returning from his first round of in
spection and met Gerry at the en-
trance. Here they fingered, talking
about the explosion of the night be-
fore, his lucky friend, Blake, and life
in the navy Blake was now out of
Hampton Roads on the first class
battleship Colorado. Telling Tom
goodnight, Gerry turned toward
town.
He started along the walk by the
plant. AS he turned the corner he
saw man crouching in the shadows.
Gerry raised his gun to his shoulder:
Hands up" shouted the boy.
The man raised his hands and ad-
vanced slowly A sudden rush
threw Gerry off his guard before he
could call for help. In the struggle
the gun went off harmlessly as the
combatants clinched. 1t was the
stranger. For all the mans weak
ness at the station and at the doc
tors office, Gerry found those hands
on his throat uncomfortable tight
He became dizzy. The grip tight
ened. He reused himself with an
effort. He must overcome this man.
Surely he could do that Removing
his arms from the mans body, he
began to tear at the encircling
fingers. He tore one hand loose and
pionioned it at his side. The man
freed his other hand and struck a
cruel blow. Gerry knew no more.

Gerry regained consciousness and

The FeUou

at Home

Honor and fame from no condi-

Act well your part,
! There all the honor lies.
Pope
1t was q week of great excitement
| in our town. The recruiting officer
for the Navy had just opened up
| quarters in the old Griffns build
ing, just across from the post office.
Before he came people had realized
in a vague sort of a way that we
were in war. They all thought that
the United States could fight we'll
enough with money, so what was the
use of sending our boys to France to
die in mo mans land? Surely the
goyernm ent would not be so foolish
as that The coming of the recruit
ing officer changed all this. The
vague thoughts of the community
crystalized into an almost instant
realization that this war was no dis
tant thing, but that it was going to
affect every one of them.
All day, one might see crowds of
boys and young men eagerly scan
ming the posters, which adorned the
vacant store building. Two boys in
particular, Gerry Norris and Blake
Worden, would draw the attention of
even the most casual observer.
Everyone in our town could re-
member when the Wordens moved
up on Timble Street, just across from
Norris Gerry, likely lad of ten,
had resented this intrusion on his do
main, and the day following had at
tempted to put a stop to it, a fist
fight occurring. Since that day, the
boys had been fast friends
They had entered high school to-
gether at fourteen and both had
made the team in their junior
year, and now on this bright spring
morning, both were eagerly scanning
the posters at the recruiting station.
Say, Gerry that sure does look
fine, doesn't it?' remarked Blake, as
be gazed admiringly at picture of
the marines making a charge, with
the legend Join the Marines Now"
below it,
1T sure does" said Gerry, who
vas gazing fascinated at the picture
If the. big ten-pounder protruding
from the turret of the battleship Con-
necticut.
Let's go in and talk to the quar-
termaster."
The recruiting officer was recount
ing thrilling tales of war to the
crowd inside. He had served in the
Spanish-Am erican war and was now
in the recruiting service so that ADLER
and younger men might be in the &C
riTe service. He was telling the
story of the battle of Manila, how
the ships ran the batteries and
shelled the city.
"Jimminy,' calculated Gerry, q
wish | could join. Come on, Blake.
| a mgoing to get Dad S consent"
Me too" Blake replied.
DR.. Norris, the village physician,
was very emphatic in his refusal of
Gerry's "idiotic request" and Mr..
Worden was hardly more enthusiast
tic. However, the boys persuaded
their fathers to go over to the re-
cruting station.
The old quartermaster locked at
the eager faces of the boys and then
at the fathers. He took the men
aside and talked to them earnestly
for some time, The boys could only
hear an occasional word, better
chance" good thing" The boys
never knew what the man said, but
as Mr.. Norris turned toward them he
said:
well, | will think it over tonight
and see how Mrs. Norris feels about
it."
And l, too" said Mr.. Worden.
The next morning Mr.. Worden told

The train pulled out, parting
Gerry and Blake for the first time in
years, but such is the fortune of war
Blake was going off into new life
full of adventure and fun, and Gerry
could not share it with him
The first Liberty Loan drive came
and went. Gerry aided materially in
it, canyassing the town and the coun-
try round for subscriptions, glad to
do whatever would help, however
small. Letters came from Blake,
wonderful letters, full of naval life.
He wrote of changing his rating; he
was q oi6hdlhldu HOH, IL lliSl CLASS
signalman, too, and was one of ten
in the signal station at the training
station.
One day in September Gerry
father sent him to the station to get
an important express package that
was expected on the $40 train
Gerry watched the passengers get off
There were only two, one old man,
Couplings, and the other a stranger,
who seemed very weak and whom
the porter had to assist into the de-
pot. Gerry hurried into the station
and asked for his package The
stranger was asking for the nearest
physician. Gerry received his pack
age and hurried over to his fathers
office. In a few minutes the door
of the office opened and admitted
the stranger whom Gerry had seen at
the train.
Excuse me; did not know you
were busy" the stranger remarked.
Not at ALL" DR.. Norris assured
him.
"Oh." replied the stranger, then
might l see you alone?"
Yes, answered the doctor
Gerry is just leaving"
The boy arose to leave the ROOM
but before he could do so, the man
tainted. Gerry hesitated.
Go on home, son, I'll attend to
the man." his father said.
Gerry, lettering by the open win
dow, heard the man talking to his
father:
Il have a bullet wound in my
shoulder" gasped the stranger;
please dress it for me-"
A short time later, the stranger
emerged from the office and passed
down the street towards the hotel.
Gerry, following at a distance, saw
him enter the village Inn. He fol-
lowed him in and went to the reg
lister. No name had been entered
there.
He called the clerk and asked II
the man who had just entered had
engaged room. The clerk said that
he had not registered. but had taken
room and had paid for five days in
advance at the rate of five dollars a
day. Learning nothing further Of in
terest, Gerry went on home.
That evening, while reading the
Daily Sudbury Post, Gerry noticed
an item about the big plant at Sun
bury A large portion of it had
been destroyed by dynamite. 1t was
only after hours of hard fighting the
fire had been put out and the re-
mainder of the plant saved. The
night Waterman had seen two men
and shot at them. One had been cap
tured, the other had escaped. Ger
rvs suspicion changed to a convic-
ton when he recalled the happening
of the afternoon.
That must be the other man, -
thought he, but he resolved as yet
to say nothing as the man was sick
at the hotel.
