"You know the way he" used to talk in Camport." "You notice that we've never seen him volunteering for any of the raiding parties," said Billy. "But that may only mean that Rabig has a yellow streak in him. It doesn't say that he's a traitor," returned Frank. "Well, maybe he isn't," conceded Tom. "But all the same it seems rather queer that he should have been picked out to guard this Heinie.
"It would have been hard luck to have been laid out now after having come through that Argonne fighting alive," grumbled Tom. "I'd just like to have my hands right now on the cowardly Heinie who tried to snuff me out." "Don't you see, Bart, that I was right when I told you that trouble was brewing?" remarked Frank. "I guess you were, old man."
"That's one on us," remarked another. "The rest of the boys will have the laugh on us for sure." "Do I look like a Heinie?" demanded Frank with a grin. "I can lick the fellow that calls me one." A shout of amazement rose from the crowd as they gathered close to him. "Sheldon! Sheldon! Old scout! Bully boy!" They mauled and pounded him until he was sore, for he was the idol of the regiment.
Henry, for example, is softened variously into Harry, Hen, Hank, Hal, Henny, Enery, On'ry and Heinie. Which did Ann Boleyn use when she cooed into the suspicious ear of Henry VIII.? To which did Henrik Ibsen answer at the domestic hearth? It is difficult to imagine his wife calling him Henrik: the name is harsh, clumsy, razor-edged. But did she make it Hen or Rik, or neither?
"No, I guess any man who hates Mr. Wernberg as much as he does can't be pro-German. Still he was funny about not wanting us at the factory to-night." "I know why that was," exclaimed Bob. "He thinks we're just a couple of kids and would only be in everybody's way." "I guess so," Hugh agreed. "He seemed like a nice fellow all right." "He is, but Heinie doesn't think so.
Frank could not see his face clearly but he could hear the man shaking as if with inward laughter. "Laugh ahead, Heinie," remarked Frank, though he knew the man could probably not understand him. "I'd do the same if the tables were turned. It'll be a mighty good joke to tell your cronies at mess tomorrow how the Yankee schweinhund thought he had you and then got nabbed himself.
"We've just been talking to Karl Hoffmann," said Bob. "You don't suppose he could have stolen him, do you?" Immediately Heinrich's manner changed. He rose to his feet angrily, while Bob nudged Hugh. Heinrich became pale with rage. "That scoundrel!" he stammered. "I would not be surprised if he would steal poor Percy. He iss mean and low enough to do anything." "Why, Heinie," said Bob mildly.
"Is that a true story?" exclaimed Bob in amazement. "The man in whose house it happened told it to father," said Hugh. "It only goes to show that you can't be too careful. I wouldn't be too sure about Heinrich and Lena if I were you. The Germans are a bad lot and I suspect them all." "Perhaps," said Bob. "Still Heinie and Lena are different." "They may be tools of Mr. Wernberg for all you know."
Joining friends, they organized a contest in marksmanship, the target being a floating can which they assailed with pebbles; and after that they "skipped" flat stones upon the surface of the water, then went to join a group gathered about Willis Parker and Heinie Krusemeyer.
"You mean he might give the whole thing away?" "Exactly." "Still," said Bob, "Heinie can be awfully stubborn sometimes." "I know it. We'd have to be clever to get a full confession from him I imagine." "I don't see what use he could be to Mr. Wernberg," said Hugh. "It's a favorite method of these German plotters, Hugh," said Mr. Cook.
