BUT THE WALKING WAS GOOD

Local Young Men Arrive at Brook After Difficult Journey. Captain H. B. Tuteur and William Keener had a rather harrowing experience Sunday night in going to Brook to pay their respects to a couple of young ladies. The former, of course, had not seen his girl since he left for the Mexican border several months ago, and the wheels of his auto could hardly revolve fast enough to take him Brookwards when the pair of swains started out.

All went well until they reached the end of the gravel on the Bunkum road, over in the edge of Newton county, and there they stuck fast and solid in a mud-hole. After arousing the civilian population of the neighborhood their car was extricated with the aid of “Old Dobbin” and again “chugged” on toward the peaceful burg on the lower Iroquois. But the course of true love never does run smooth, experts declare, and when within about two miles of Brook the car stopped stone dead and refused all persuasion to move along just a few minutes longer. After exhausting all their powers of persuasion, Captain Tuteur gave the order to “Right about face—Forward, march,” and shortly after 9 o’clock they reached the confines of Brook, where they were received with effusion —-presumably —by the young ladles who had about concluded the boys had run onto a bunch of Villa bandits and were being held for ransom. Capt. Tuteur, thanks tn his training in hikes on the border, did not mind

the little walk at all, but poor Kerner’s limbs were aching when the village was reached, and it was with difficulty that his knees bore up the added weight of female loveliness during the happy but torturous hours he spent in "her” company. After the affectionate greetings were over Nels Shafer of the Main garage was telephoned to and he drove over and gave the abandoned car a few simple turns of the wrist and drove it on to Brook. The boys came back in the car some time Monday morning, but their experience they have kept very quiet about.
