Last Chapter Written

Last Chapter Written
But there is more to this
story-the last chapter Of
which was to be written after
the passing March 23 Of bro.
Buktenica.
On April 5, almost two
weeks after his sudden death,
the Home Office received a
bulky envelope from the
family Of bro. Buktenica. In
it were more applications for
membership, all signed by
bro. Buktenica in the days
Immediately prec d ing his
passing.
This last envelope was
worth another, final 152 Cam
paign Points.
| This brought to SIG the
total number of Points
credited to bro. Buktenica
after his final report to
the Home Office,
And in death he was still
at the head of the recruiting
drive, here and in Canada,
still the champion when his
time had come to leave this
vale of tears.
Who Will Step Forward?
The question. now arises:
Who will step into the breach
in Chicago and endeavor to
pick up where bro. Buktenica
stopped when his heart gave
out March %?
Who will endeavor to again
try interesting Victor and
Maria Brodaric in joining
the Croatian Fraternal I'm
ion? Who will make a new
attempt to enroll their chill
dren and grandchildren in
the Society?
Who will accept this fine
family of 81 men, women
and children as a challenge
and convince them that
membership i'm the Croa-
tan Fraternal Union is a
privilege?
Who will keep alive the
memory of bro. Joseph Buk-
tenica, who gave his all in
the service of the Croatian
Fraternal Union?

how actually true our words
were until we received a letter
dated March 80, 1856, from
bro. Frank Krasich, Chicago,
Secretary of the Children's S
Home Board of the Croatian
Fraternal Union of America.
Bro. Krasich tells us that
the story - an amazing
one - begins with Victor
and Maria Br0daric (hus-
band and wife), well known
and well-tO-do Chicago res
idents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brodaric
have, been married for 46
years and are quite proud of
their II children and 23
grandchildren. But not one
member of this large family
ever joined the Croatian Fra
ternal Union of America. One
can only wonder why.
Truly Amazing Story
For years bro. Buktenica
tried in vain to convince some
of the Brodaric Family to af-
filiate with the Society.
His efforts went for
naught. But he refused to be-
come discouraged.
He finally "broke the ice'
by arranging to enroll three
children of Mrs. Edna BRO,
daric) Carter, one of the
daughters of Victor and Ma
ria Brodaric. The Carter.
make their home at 6629 So
California Avenue, Chicago.
Bro. Buktenica filled out
two forms and was execut-
ing the third when his
chin fell to his chest. And
without uttering a word or
making the slightest sound
he dropped dead.
So passed from the earthly
scene the man who led the
Croatian Fraternal Unions
1856 Membership Campaign
Field Workers from the open
ing day of the drive on Jan
uary 1 until his passing
March % last. He was, as al
ways, a champion to the very
end of the line.

CHAPTER SEVEN
The Secret Room

The night was half gone
when Santa's reindeer began
slowly descending from the sky.
Are we there? Are we
there?" asked the princess.
There was a trembfe in her
voice.
I'VE must be-" said Santa.
1.-THE reindeer are always right.
All I have to do IS tell them
where 1 wish to go and they
always get me there"
We peered over the sides Of
the sleigh. There was nothing
to be seen except the silent
snow far below. Now the REIN
deer began to circle and sud-
denly we saw a monStrouS

"Is that the palace?"

cess. II guess it is. But I've
never seen it so dark and fear

guard posts and none in the
yards"
Good" said Santa. mo one
can see U.S." He pulled at the
reins. With scarcely a sound
the reindeer brought the sleigh
to a stop between turrets and
chimneys on the roof Of the
palace.
Now which chimney would

wondered Santa.
II know" said Princess Anne.
The room is on the first floor
OF the crooked tower. There
there's the tower and the
chimney"
He Saw q Crooked Tower
I looked where she pointed.
/ saw a crooked tower at the
corner Of the palace. Santa
took our hands and helped us
across to the lower chimney.
I'll lead the way" he whis-
pered. "But first I'll tell you a
secret known to no man on
earth. It's my magic chimney
climbing word. Remember it
now. It's PETRONEENYMO. +"
With that, he climbed into
the chimney and dropped out
OF sight. The princess and 1
were afraid to follow but we
were afraid even more to stay
behind. We went feet first into
that black and Spooky hole.
At first we just stuck there
and never moved at all and I
thought we were trapped for
ever. Then I remembered and
! gasped, "PETRONEENYMO."
Instantly we fioated gently
down and a moment later
Santa had our hands and we
were out of the chimney and in
the secret room. The princess
teeth chartered and my knees
felt like they had come un-
done. But Santa boldly pulled
out a candle, lit it and held it
aloft.
I don't know what awful
things I had expected to see in
this mysterious room, but what
I saw was a bunch of statues.
Behind the statues were shelves
loaded with bottles of strange
colored liquids, powders and
pills. On the floor books were
piled in heaps.
WELL" said Santa, "there
doesn't seem to be anything so
strange here. The king comes
here to read and admire his
statues and take medicine for
some ailment."
I felt my fears ease away. 1t
had all been the princess i'm
agination, I thought. She had
run away from nothing.
The Princess tainted
I turned to tell her so. She
was standing before a statue
of a man. Her eyes were fas-
tened on the eyes of the statue
and she was all atremble in
her arms and legs.
Suddenly she fell to the floor
in a faint.
Santa leaned over her and
smoothed her hair. TITS all
right" he murmured. Every
things all right. you see.
There's nothing to fear"
At last she opened her eyes.
They were filled with awful
terror and she whispered,
you're wrong. There is some-
thing more dreadful here than
anything imagined"
Santa started to speak, but
at that very moment we heard
footsteps in the hall and the
sound Of a scratching at the
door.

Looking at all of the cards, it

Mr.. Abel's problem now was to
