Probably it's in German, and if it is I can't read it. But they'll read it at headquarters all right, and it may queer some of Heinie's plans." They conversed in whispers a little while longer, and then made ready to go to sleep. Their preparations were not extensive, and consisted chiefly in finding a place where no sharp edge of stone bored into the small of their backs.
"Say," exclaimed Hugh suddenly, "it's strange, though. Heinie's alligator was probably stolen by the man that returned the car, and whoever returned the car was probably out here at this meeting. What's the connection?" "I don't believe there is any," said Bob. "You're too suspicious, Hugh." "Won't you admit that it's queer?"
And here's a bum little furniture store it wouldn't cost more 'n about ten times all I've got to buy one of those Morris chairs. Oh Gooooooosh, won't these houses ever stop? Say, that must be a jitney. The driver snickered at me. Will the whole town be onto me? Milt, you're a kind young fellow, and you know what's the matter with Heinie's differential, but they don't need you here.

In point of fact, he had left his job of Number One Bar Boy at the University Club to embark on his great preachment revival.
"Some one of your men must have gone a long way over Heinie's lines," remarked Jack to one of the French officers. "He is not one of our men. Either they were all back long ago or they will not come back until after the war if ever. That is a Hun machine." "What is he doing challenging to single combat?" asked Tom, as the lone plane came on steadily.
There was talk of gigantic mirrors that would act as burning-glasses and blind the opposing troops. Some of these things proved to be true. Others were mere lies, designed to sap the morale of the Allied armies and civil populations before the fight began. "Heinie's the biggest boob that ever happened," grinned Billy, when the boys were discussing the coming conflict.
The same thing can be done in the front line by a few men opening up with five or ten rounds, rapid fire, directed just over Heinie's parapet. In nearly every case, he will commence shooting blindly toward our lines: the contagion will spread and, the first thing you know, he will have wasted about a million rounds.
