"THE CLAWS OF THE HUN."
"You dogs—you Huns! If you won't let me fight over there, - I'll fight over here."
John Stanton had hardly uttered the words ere he threw himself at the spies who were attempting to steal his father's explosive formula. "The mother won't give her consent for me to he a soldier—the girl I love has branded me as a slacker!—tout, by jingo! you dogs are going to feel the sting of my disappointment." And feel it they did. Two strong fist s battered down their muscular protest—two hands wrenched the cherished formula from their grasp— and —when the town woke up in the morning, it knew that John Stanton had made good—that he wasn't a slacker! And when the mother realised her unworthy action in keeping him at horne —she smiled an .approval. Yes—and the girl too. She knew he wasn't a slacker after, that, and she had a smile to send him off.
