"Outwitting the Huh"
By Pat O'Brien
Thai night lie appeared aa be bad
promised.
"Well, O'Brleu." be asked, aa be en
tered tbe room where 1 was awaiting
blm, "what do you say? Will you sign
tbe order or not V
It had occurred to me during tbe
day that the araouut deuiantied was so
fablulous tliut I might have signed the
wder without any dnnger of He ever
belog paid, but tbe Idea of this man,
who bad claimed to be befriending me,
endeavoring to make rapltal out of my
plight galled me so that 1 was deter
mined not to give It to blm whether I
could do so In aafety or not
"No, Huyllger." I replied, "I bave
decided to get along aa best I can with
out any further assistance from you.
I shall see that you are reasonably
paid for what you bave done, but I
will not accept any further assistance
from you at any price, and what Is
more I want you to return to me at
once all the photographs and other
papera and belongings of mine which
I turned over to you a day or two
ego!"
"I'm sorry about that, 0Brlen.n be
retorted, with a show of apparent sin
cerity, "but that is softie t hi ug I cannot
do." .
"If you don't give me back those
papers at once," I replied hotly. "I will
take steps ,to get them, and d d
quick tool"
"I dont know Just what you could
do, O'Brien," be declared coolly, "but
aa a matter of fact the papera and
pictures you refer to are out of the
country. I could not get them back
to you tf I wanted to,"
Something told me tbe man waa
lying.
"See here, Huyllger 1" I threatened,
advancing towards blm. putting my
hsnd on bis shoulder and looking him
straight In the eye, "I want those
papers and I want them here before
midnight to-night It I dont get tbem
I shall sleep in this place Just once
more and then, at 8 o'clock to-morrow
morning, I shall go to tbe German au
thorities, give myself up, show tbem
tbe passport that you fixed for me,
teU tbem bow I got It and. explain
everything."
Huyllger paled. We bad no lights
In tbe bouse, but we were standing
near landing at the time and the
moonlight waa streaming through a
stained-glass window.
Tha Belgian turned on bis beel and
atarted to go down the stairs.
"Mind you." I called after blm. "I
shall wait for you till the city clock
strikes twelve, and If you don't show
up with those papers hy that time, tbe
next time yon will see roe Is when yea
confront me before the German au
thorities. I am a desperate man, Huy
llger, and I mean every word I say."
He let himself out of the door and I
tat on the top Starr and wondered Just
what he would do. Would he trj'to
steal march on me and get fn first
word to the autborlUes m that my
atory would be discredited when I
put It to themt
Home Is With the Boys
By Bruce Barton
I visited a home where a ser
vice flags hangs, and while we
ate we talked of the boy who is
over there.
' I wonder if he is cold tonight''
the mother said, "I wonder if he
has a place to warm himself and
dry his clothes, and something
good to eat." ' .
"What wouldn't I give to be
with him," she said and we were
silent, knowing her heart
But I thought of the Soldiers
of Friendliness who that very
night would crawl out across No
Man's Land to take chocolate
and hot coffee to that boy.
Of the huta with their warm
fires burning; of tbe great lec
turers and preachers and actors
and motion pictures that are over
there.
And I thought to myself:
"There is a difference between
this and every other war. For
when the boys have marched
away before, the Influence of
their homes has stopped at the
front gate ai.d could go no
farther.
But in this war it follows the
flag, across the ocean, over the
shell torn battle land, straight up
to the front line trenches.
' Home is where the boy is in
this war. From every town and
village the lines of helpfulness
run out.
; And no boy leaves his home
behind him;' step by step it
travels with .him, financed by
the fotKs behind him-a token of
their love.
