"All I seem to remember is my marchin’ in the boolyvard along with a guy in baggy red pants, and my chewin’ the rag in a big, hot room full o’ soldiers; an’ Heinie an’ Joe they was shoutin’, ’Wow! Lemme at ’em. Veeve la France!’ Wha’ d’ye know about me? Ain’t I the mark from home?" "You didn’t realize that you were enlisting?"
"Where's any ole fish?" he inquired, scornfully. "Oh, my goodness!" Heinie Krusemeyer moaned. "Can't you shut up?" "Look!" whispered the girl who stood nearest to Ramsey. She pointed. "There's one. Right down there by Willis's hook. Don't you see him?" Ramsey was impressed enough to whisper. "Is there? I don't see him. I can't "
Bob looked curiously at the chauffeur. "How do you know?" he demanded. "Was it him?" "Yes, but how could you find it out so soon?" "Mebbe I guess," said Heinrich. "Probably you did," laughed Bob. "What do you know about the Wernbergs anyway, Heinie?" "Nothing," said Heinrich quickly and he acted as though he had made a mistake. "Look at Percy," he exclaimed. "He iss going down into the water."
"That settles it," whispered Bart. "We think we're here, but we're only kidding ourselves. We can't be here. Heinie says so and, of course, he knows." "What a come-on he'd be for the confidence men," gurgled Billy. "They'd sell him the Brooklyn Bridge before he'd been on shore for an hour."
The entire business district of Schoenstrom consists of Heinie Rauskukle's general store, which is brick; the Leipzig House, which is frame; the Old Home Poolroom and Restaurant, which is of old logs concealed by a frame sheathing; the farm-machinery agency, which is galvanized iron, its roof like an enlarged washboard; the church; the three saloons; and the Red Trail Garage, which is also, according to various signs, the Agency for Teal Car Best at the Test, Stonewall Tire Service Station, Sewing Machines and Binders Repaired, Dr.
"You're crazy," said Bob. "What I want to know is what happened to our automobile. Tomorrow morning before breakfast you'll see me on my way to police headquarters to report it. Heinie was going to fix the puncture in my bicycle to-day and I'll go down on that." "Will you telephone to me about eight o'clock?"
"Well, tell you, old hoss. Schoenstrom got so darn lonely after you left, and when Ben and Heinie got your address and bought the garage, think's I, lez go off on a little bum."
"Lying on the floor?" "Yes." "Have you no idea who sent it?" "How should I?" exclaimed Heinrich. "Somebody must have slipped in here while you were absent and left it," said Bob. "There are queer things happening around here these days, Heinie." "There is," the chauffeur admitted solemnly. "Do you mind if I keep this paper?" "No." Bob started out.
"There'll be that much less chance of a Heinie seeing us if he takes the trouble to look down here." "So this is where we've got to hang out until our boys get here," remarked Billy, grinning. "It reminds me of the Waldorf-Astoria it's so different." "Never mind," said Frank cheerfully, "it's a thousand per cent. better than a Hun prison camp, and don't you forget it!"
Why poor old Heinie should be such a fool is more than I can understand." "Are you going to tell your father?" "I suppose I must." "Will he tell the police?" "I don't know. I should think perhaps he'd have to, though." "It's too bad," murmured Hugh. He knew how fond his friend was of Heinrich. "At any rate Karl is all right I guess," said Bob. "I'll agree with you there," said Hugh.
