River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1918-04-11

At ten minutes past the hour, Milky
heard the engine of an automobile.
No machine came in sight, but the
throbbing kept on, from which he
judged that a car had been stopped
around the corner. Peter Niburg heard
it, and rose. A moment later a man,
with the springiness of youth, mounted
the steps and confronted the messen-
ger.
Milky saw great light. When
Peter Niburg put his hand to his
breast pocket, there was no longer
room for doubt. nor, for that matter,
time for thinking. AS a matter Of
fact, never afterward could Milky re-
call thinking at all. He moved away
quietly, hidden by the shadows of the
colonnade. Behind him, on the steps,
the two men were talking. Absorbed
In themselves and their business, they
neither heard nor saw the figure that
slipped through the colonnade, and
dropped, blood curdling drop, from
the high end of it to the street be-
low.
Nikky's first impulse, beside the car,
was to cut tire. BY getting his op-
ponent into STOPPING position, over
the damaged wheel, it would be easier

to overcome him. But a hasty search
revealed that he had lost his knife in
the melee. And second thought gave
him a better plan. After all, to get
the letter was not everything. To
know it's destination would be impOr-
tant. He had no time to think fur
Their. The messenger was coming
down the steps, not stealthily, but clat-
tering, with the ring of nails in the
heels of heavy boots.
Milky flung his long length into the
tonneau, and there crouched. 1t was
dark enough to conceal him, but Mix
ky's was large body in small place.
However, the chauffeur only glanced
at the car, kicked a tire with prac-
ticed foot, and got in.
He headed for the open country.
Very soon his passenger knew that he
was in for long ride possibly, a cold
ride certainly. Within the city limits
the car moved decorously, but when
the suburbs were reached, the driver
put on all his power. He drove care
but cannot afford accident.
Milky grew very uncomfortable.
His long legs ached. The place be-
tween the shoulders where the con-
cierge had landed his powerful blows
throbbed and beat. Also he was
puzzled, and he hated being puzzled.
He was unarmed, too. He diSliked
that most of all.
After a time he raised his head. He
made out that they were going east,
toward the mountains, and he cursed
the luck that had left his revolver at
home. Still he had no plan but to
watch. Two hours ride, at their pres
ent rate, would take them over the
border and into Karnia.
With a squealing Of brakes the ma
chine drew up at the frontier. Here
was a chain across the highway, with
two sets Of guards. Long before they
reached 1t, sentry stepped into the
road and waved his lantern.
Milky burrowed lower into the car,
and attempted to look like rug. In
the silence, while the sentry evidently
examined a passport and flashed
lantern over the chauffeur, Milky
cursed the ticking Of his watch, the
beating Of his own heart.
Then came clanking as the chain
dropped in the road. The car bumped
over it, and halted again. The same
formalities, this time by Karnian
sentries. Then the jerk following a
hasty letting-in of the clutch, and they
were off again.
For some time they climbed steadily.
But Milky, who knew the road, bided
his time. Then at last, at two o'clock,
came the steep ascent to the very
crest of the mountain, and falling
back, gear by gear, until they climbed
slowly in the lowest.
Milky unfolded his length quietly.
The gears were grinding, the driver
bent low over his wheel. Very de-
liberately, now that he knew what he
was going to do, Milky unbuttoned his
tunic and slipped it off. It was rash
thing, this plan he had in mind, rash
under any circumstances, in moving
car-particuIarly rash here, where be-
tween the cliff and precipice that
fell far away below, was only a wind |
ing ribbon of uneven road.
Milky, he waited his moment, and |
then, with one singularIy efficient ges-
ture, he flung his tunic over the
chauffeur's head. He drove a car
himself. did Nikky-not his own, of /
course; he was far too poor-and he
counted on one thinga automobile

gutter Beside him, on his back, lay
a sprawling and stertorous figure,
with, SO quick the downfall, a cane
still hooked to his arm.
Milky bent over Peter Niburg.
Bending over made his head ache
abominably.
Here, mani" he said. Get upl
Rouse yourself!'
Peter Niburg made an inarticulate
reference to a piece of silk of certain
quality, and lay still. But his eyes

One of the most famous of all mod@

deeper economic meaning in these five

SCOUTS GROWING RAPIDLY.

In spite of the fact that of the
scoutmasters and other scout officials
q large percentage volunteered for &C
tive service Immediately following the
declaration of the war, and another
large percentage was called to the
colors by the first draft law, the rec
ords show that today the Boy Scouts
of America has 43 per cent more scout
officials than it had on the day war
was declared and sc per cent more
scouts than 1t had on the day war was
declared.
For every man who will go, each
community will have at least five or
more men who have the same quail
ties of leadership for carrying on the
work. 1t is not necessary for them
to know scouting from the technical
point of view in order to efficiently
serve as scoutmasters. They can Sc
cure experience by following the same
course as their predecessors. The war
has proven not only In England, but
here In America, that between 30 and
60 there are scoutmasters even bet
ter than younger men.
Today there are 440,890 men and
boys as compared with 272,031 on
April 6, 1917. What will the records
be In one year? There will be al
least 714,000 men and boys If this
percentage of increase is maintained

"Bonnie Doom"

Concerning the writing of Bonnie
Doom" there is an interesting story.
The heroine of this song was n Miss
Kennedy of Dolgarrock, who had been
Tilted by McDougal of Logan. The
young woman is said to have taken
the affair so much to heart that she
found relief In the quiet waters that
flow through the north country. The
Don is a river of Scotland In Ayr
shire which, after a course Of 30 miles,
falls into the Firth of Clyde. 1t was
on the banks Of this stream, near
"Alloway's auld haunted kirk" that
the poet was born, and naturally he
has made 1t the scene of many of his
poems.
The tune to which Burns wrote the
words of Bonnie Doom" was an old
Scottish air called "The Caledonian
Hearts Delight" and an effort has
been made to trace it to a still older
Irish air.

THE READY BOY SCOUT.

A hail to the lad who always does his
bit!
When there is work, he hustles into IL
With the zest of a batter who Is swing
ing for a hit
The ready and the steady and the heady
Boy Scout.
He's often small, and he's never very
big;
He's always square, and he cannot be a
prig;
And when there is digging you ought to
see him dig
The ready and the steady and the heady
Boy Scout.
The woodland lore is a bit of what he
knows;
He loves the flag and follows where 1t
goes:
He's a man in the making, the very best
that grows
The ready and the steady and the heady
Boy Scout.

The Worlds LARGEST Boot.

his wares by the construction of
colossal boot. 1t weighs 500 pounds,

in length, with sole 4 feet s inches
in width. 1t Is, in fact, IA times as
large as an ordinary shoe, and need
less to say, is size that Is not stock

certainly attracted fair share of at

SCOUTS HELP POLICE CITY

When the patrolmen OF Cincinnati
went on strike, the city was left In
very serious situation.
The city officials called upon a num-

ance, including the Boy Scouts Of

a local paper indicates how well they
did their work and how much 1t was
appreciateds
Saturday morning boy scouts were
on duty as traffic officers at street In
tersections In downtown Cincinnati.
''The boys went at the work with the
energy and enthusiasm which were to
be expected of them. AS these lines
are written, one of the youngsters Is
boSsing the traffic at the corner of
Sixth and Walnut in a way that brings
smiles of approval and encouragement
from passers-by.
Regulation of traffic Is q necessity
In Cincinnati. Law-abiding people will
obey the orders of the boy scouts on
traffic duty and try to help them In
ttcir work. If there are any small
enough In mind to impose upon the
boys, it is more than probable that
they will find the undertaking both I'M

No one can read the speech the

Kahn today, without becoming i'm
pressed with the seriousness of the
European war situation and the mag

The proposed legislation takes the
availables from each locality in pro-
portion to the resources of that To-
cality. 1t brings fewer inequalities
than under the first draft. Popula
tion figures have been misleading in
numerous instances.
