"Today, at the point of a gun, we forced him to write a note to Strong telling him that there was to be a meeting at Winckel's house at four-thirty and that he could get him in. Strong with another man came. We trapped them, bound them and they are now in the cellar out of harm's way." Ted welcomed the information. At least he knew just what to expect.
Ted struck one. Hurriedly he untied the two men, who were already questioning him excitedly and to whom he whispered assurances. An auto passed north on Michigan avenue. "That's Winckel's car," he said. "We weren't any too soon." Ted told the two men of the night's adventures and they both listened eagerly. Strong was laboring under great excitement as the boy went on with his story.
"You might go over and claim it," answered Strong. "I think I will, just to see old Winckel's face." Strong turned to Ted. "Dear lad," he said, "what you did isn't the kind of thing that can appear in the newspapers, but it is the kind about which history is made. It is a big job you have accomplished. The men who sent you down to us made no mistake in their judgment as to what you could do.
Postmortem examination shows extensive extravasations into the internal viscera, and also organic syphilitic lesions. Winckel's disease, or epidemic hemoglobinuria, is a very fatal affection, sometimes epidemic in lying-in institutions; it develops about the fourth day after birth. The principal symptom is hematogenous icterus with cyanosis, the urine contains blood and blood-coloring matter.
Entirely separate organs, as in Winckel's case. Prolapsus or displacement of the ovaries into the culdesac of Douglas, the vaginal wall, or into the rectum can be readily ascertained by the resulting sense of nausea, particularly in defecation or in coitus.
Then he began making out the words and the sense of the conversation. "Yes," said one voice. "We found out that this man Jones, who was Winckel's butler, was one of their men. He dropped a card which young Winckel found. That was enough to warrant his being watched, although we did nothing for several days except to see that he got no further information.
We figure that thirty thousand men will be enough for Winnipeg, although we shall have more." "The fool Englishmen," sneered a voice. "Not such fools, Schmidt. Do not underestimate them." The voice was Winckel's. "Everything looks so easy," said another voice. "Aye," said Captain Knabe, "we cannot help but win. But the Englishman fights best with his back to the wall."
Before making any further attempt to get inside, Ted went to a nearby drug store. He obtained paper and stamped envelope and wrote the following message to Strong's office, addressing it to Strong's secretary, Miss Ford. "Unless you hear from us in the early morning, you will find us imprisoned in the cellar of Mr. Winckel's house. I am now trying to get Mr. Strong and Mr.
He has persuaded his brother to fly with him and to go to a university. The one guardian is a narrow-minded tyrant, the other, Winckel's brother, a merchant, a frivolous coaxer. Erasmus resisted longer.
A sickening thought at the same instant came to Schmidt. "O'Reilly, we talked about the prisoners, how we had trapped them, where they were and all the time someone was listening. That someone heard all we had to say and then, after we were all through, he went up to Winckel's house and rescued them." Winckel said nothing for many minutes; he seemed lost in thought.
