of a young son of Penmark Walter
Julius as a worthy subject for honors.
ome question may be raised as to whether
the conditions governing the Carnegie
medal fund will apply In the case of young
Mr. Julius. No doubt exists as to his re
markable display of bravery, but the chief
Idea of the Carnegie medal Is to reward
those who risk their own lives to savs the
lives of others. Young Julius plaoed his
life in jeopardy, no doubt as to that, but
he did It for the purpose of protecting his
employer s money from robber attack. One
clause In the CaAegle .stipulations says:
"Those who risk their Uvea to save the lives
of others, or those who risk their lives tor
the benefit of others."
It Is the foregoing "benefit of others"
phrase upon which admirers of young
Julius depend to place him on the medal
eligible list.
Ten days ago, Walter Julius, who will be
It years old next December, employed as
helper on the books and general utility
man In the McClelland Saving bank, was
unknown outside of a small area In Pot
tawatamle county. To him Counoll Bluffs
Is a big city. He was brought up In the
midst of a narrow little world In and
around the vlllags of McClelland, a station
on the Chicago Great Western railroad,
fourteen miles out of Council Bluffs. Just
a plain, sensible Danish lad limited as to
worldly education, but plethoric of horse
sense there was no reason why he should
be known beyond the limits of his re
stricted horlson. He was, in fact, living
In all of the obscurity that comes of pas
toral environment.
Today the name of Walter Julius la
known and talked about in every dally

The man, who looked downward from
weaknena, or as if to conceal his features,
was apparently In (rut d.stres, and in

The lower works of the airship du

the effective manner In whloh young

boy is abundantly endowed with "nogtern.'
W. H. Quick, one of Pottawataml coun
ty's big Implement dealers, who sells ths
plows that tiokla the hundred-dollar-aa-acr
land contiguous to McClelland, has taken
the lnlatlve in calling the attention of the
Carnegie medal commission to the brave
act of the young Dane. Mr. Quick hopes
to bring the case within the stipulated
conditions, but whether Walter Julius Is
granted a Carnegie medal or not, he will
long be catalogued among the brave in

only - possible barrier In the way of his
securing the medal will be the possible In

The Iowa Bankers' association does not

that a special dispensation will be made
In this case.
Every mall that oomee into McClelland
brings letters to the Julius boy. Some of
them are of a congratulatory nature, while
others go stronger and discuss the time

of reward for heroism.
H. B. Boyles, president of Boyes College,
Omaha, and Boyes Western Iowa College,
Council Bluffs, has sent to young Julius
an offer of a free scholarship In the Coun
cil Bluffs wing of his school, and it is
probable that the youngster will obtain a
furlough from his present position and
spend a few months in school to round out
his commercial education.
"I do not ntnd accepting, a medal or a
scholarship If any one feels disposed to
give me such tokens, but I do not care to
take money. I have no disposition to com

man to a newspaper visitor who spent an

And with this, as if pulled down from
below, the man vanished into the dark In
terior, the manhole closed, and th chain,
like a line taken by some Utanlo fish,
started out to sea. The airship had been
captured by the submarine! The mechani

her round deck rose awash sometimes; but
with the manholes closed, and with no
sign, save the erection of her periscope,
that she was more than an Inert mass of
steel, she swam on. remorveress, silent, the
evil element In a battle unprecedented and
undreamed of.
Still seated where Theodore had placed
her, Virginia looked at him In questioning
terror. He was white and horrified, but
he was managing the Virginia with a set
determination, which rose with and met
the danger, to save her and her freight If
possible. At this moment he was depress
ing her in her flight so as to get all pos4
ble slack In the chain, so that by a sudden
upwsrd rush he might break tho tether.
Once, twice, thlc he did this; but the
chain held.
"What is It Theodore t What Is it?" said
she.
"I don't know," said he: "but I think it's
the end!"
He was not looking at her he was look
ing upward, like a man seeking for some
sort of inspiration. His expression seemed
to say that there wn work to do; and as
long as every tick of the watch might
mean the difference between death and
life, he had no time for her questions. She
stood looking out over the great desolate
sea. and back to the receding shore on
which she saw a group of forms the forms

a dark fiend of a machine that was tak

hour with him in front of the little bank
one evening last week.
"As a matter of fact" he continued, "I
am satisfied to know that I winged the rob
ber and that he is in Jail, without taking
any of the bank's money. When Mr. Mas
field left me alone in the bank, I felt that
It was up to me to take care of It Natur
ally then, when this man Klrby, or what
ever his right name may be, cam hustling
into the bank ten minutes before closing
time, and with a gun In his hand, said:
'Kid, its up to you,' and by the way, those)
are his exact words, I naturally wished to
show him that it really was 'up to me' and
that I was equal to the emergency."
Roy Maxfleld, a bright young financier,
who has charge of the bank as cashier,
says he will take no active part in the ef
fort to secure a Carnegie medal for the
boy, for the reason that he feels so closely
related to him, that he doubts the propriety
of his taking active part In the proposition.
"I will say, however," remarked Cashier
Maxfleld, "that a dosen gold medals would
be only an Inadequate reward for this lad.
He did something that most men would
have failed to do, and while our deposits
fully were covered by burglar Insurance, and
there would have been no loss either to us
or the depositors, if the man had carried
off every oent in the bank, the fact re
mains that we are heartily glad that the
robber was foiled. No bank likes to hear
of a successful raid on Its treasury, even
though insuranc protects against loss.
Bank robbery Is out of data In civilised
communities, and since our boy has shown
that Iowa has a way of Its own in dealing
with bank robbers, it is hardly probable
that any further depredations will be at
tempted In this vicinity for a long while.
We are proud of Walter for his act and
are rejoiced that he only wounded the
robber Instead of killing him outright, for
it is better to let the law deal with him.
However, even if be had killed Klrby, I
consider the act would have been perfectly
Justifiable.
"One of the remarkable features of the
case Is the extreme coolness of the boy,
immediately after wounding the robber and
led him to Jail. Inside of a few minutes
after the lock oUcked with Klrby on the
inside, Walter was back In the bank adding
up long columns of figures with an accu
racy and precision that would do credit
to a veteran, bookkeeper. When I re
turned from the picnic, acutely ooncerned,
of course, over the reports I had heard,
Walter was much more calm than any
of the men I met on the streets. That boy
simply has an imperturable nerve, and
with that nerve goes a sense of loyalty
that makes him at once an Ideal bank em
ploye." Walter Julius Is not a native of Denmark.
He was born In the village of Weston, Pot-
ing of thos oases in which men -kill th
women they love, rather than allow them
to fall Into the hands of ruffians.
"Virginia, can you shoot?" he aaked.
She took the pistol with the air of one
who knows how to use it and nodded her
bead.
"I shall have to ask you to protect me,"
said he. "while I try to out that chain.
They can see with their periscope what
I'm doing, and when it is necessary they
will come up again Into th open and fire.
By pulling out to sea4 I can get her at an
angle that will force them into the open to
shoot I'll do that When th manhole
opens, shoot into it Keep them back. If
you should hit one of them, don't let It
trouble you you "
"I shall kill one ef them if I can," said
she. "Never mind that! Tell me th things
to do!"
"I shall take the pliers and a file," said
he. "I don't think th pliers will cut it
It will take quit a while to file It Kven
if I can hang on that long, I may be tu
weak to climb back. I don't know that I
can do It anyhow. Tou must take us
back o land It I cut her free."
"I will," said she. "Never fear, I can do
It I know every lever."
"There's another thing," said he. "We
came out with only a little gas. If we go
much further, we haven't enough to get
ashore with. I shall hav to be the Judge
of that for you. I think I could soar her
In with the aeroplane set of the blades,
but I don't know. I think we had better
fly low going back, and not waste fuel In
vertical lift That takes power. Keep her
gliding about a hundred feet from the
water; but If wou want the aeroplane set
this Is the way to fix It."
With a swift movement he showed her
the way to manage the mechanism. Then
he required her to tell him how to turn,
how to rise, how to fall, how to vary the
speed, bow to determine the thrust of the
blades. He lashed a pair of pliers about
his neck with a lanyard, thrust a couple of
flies Into his pockets, took off bis boots,
his coat and waistcoat, pulled his little
cap's visor far down over his eyes to shel
ter them from the glare, and stepped to
the side.
"You may get ashore." said he, "while I
may not. If so, goodby, and Ood bless
you, dearest!"
She threw her arms about his neck and
kissed him over and over again he felt
her warm tears on his I:ihi. But he Con
trolled himself sternly, almos fiercely.
"Don't cry!" said he. "Clear your eyes,
and shoot straight! Goodby!"

tawattamle county, Iowa, but he Is a Danish-American
of clear strain, for his father
and mother were born In Denmark, and
although they are now thoroughly Amer
icanised, they cling to the traditions of
their fatherland, and the sturdy Danish
characteristics are manifested in the boy
to such extent that, barring his correct
English speech, he might easily be taken
for a native of the Norseman's country. The
young man, although exceptionally modest,
does not hesitate to proclaim pride in his
Danish blood.
There is an old maxim in Denmark which,
translated Into English, means: "Do not
sail out further than you can row back."
In this case, the man who sought to rob
the McClelland bank undoubtedly sailed out
too far, and the Danish lad of the steel
blue-gray eye and "nogtern" endowment
brought him back.
Asked as to what he expects to do In the
future, young Julius said: "First 1 want

way interested, at first; but presently her
black shadow grew mor dtetlnot, th
round deck broke water; and as the man
hole opened, Wlxner appeared and aimed at
Carson, coolly, as at a target. Too hastily,
Virginia fired: the bullet struck the edge
of th deck with a vicious pat Wlsner'
pistol spoke, the bullet striking metal, flew
singing away, but the girl replied with a
third shot of this strange duel. She braced
herself against the rail, aimed conscient
iously at the middle of the mark presented
by the villlan below, and ftreA-fired with
the curious certitude the marksman feels
when he Is making a good shot. Wlsner
had Just lifted his arm to fir again; but
his hand fell as If struck down by a giant's
blow; he dropped back Into th darkness
lik a shot wood chuck, the manhole
closed, and the submarine went on toward
deep water as grimly as before.
"All right down here!" sang out Car
son. "How are you on deckt"
"All right here," said she. "Do you
talnk they'll shoot any more?"
"No," said Theodore. "But watch the
manhole Just the same. I shall have to
file the chain. The pliers won't do!"
The girl waited. . It was well for her
that she had something to do; otherwise
her reason might have given way. She
stood by the rail with tho pistol In her
hand, listening to the "screek. screek" of
the file on the chain. Suddenly this sound
stopped, and she heard Carson calling.
"They've hove to," said he. "I think
they're going to try drowning us here.
Don't lose control of yourself remember,
this is a fight, and we aren't whipped yet.
Do you hear?"
"Yes," said she. "But It's so awfull So
awful) If you were only up here where
you could Tell me what to do! Tell me
what to do!"
"Do you see how the chain shortens?"
asked Carson. "She's going down. If the
water's deep enough she ran drown ua,
unless we can overcome her gravity. Turn
the index so ss to show a dead-down
thrust of the blades and then full power
on the last speed. It will take fuel, but
It's the only way! Hurry!"
The airship sank, sank, nearer and
nearer to the water: but without waiting
to learn how the girl was carrying out his
orders, Carson again attacked the chain,
and the thrill "screek" of th file greeted
Virginia' ears again, as h tnrnd the
indicator and threw on the power. As
they had never done before, the great en
gines purred, the wing blades trod the air
with a terrific roar; but with remorseless
suction-like force the submarlns drew her
down closer, closer to the water, and she
seemed lost. The sinking was slower,
now; but nevertheless more and mor of

Antone Julius, father of the hero boy, Is
naturally very proud of his son. The elder
Julius Is employed by the Quick implement
house of McClelland. Usually a mother
would become frantlo upon being Informed
that her son had shot a bank robber, but
Mrs. Julian remained calm as the startling
news was carried to her.. A few minutes
later she rang the bank telephone and
briefly questioned her son concerning the
affair. The keynote of her interrogation
was to assure herself that the act was en

H might be drowned; but when he went
under, he would go fighting. He was a
man! And suddenly Virginia felt hernelf
strengthened and comforted. Death was
due every one at some time. Why not
now? Why whimper and shrink from
what must b some time anyhow?

him.
"I think," said she. "that we are
doomed. Is there anything I csn do?"
"You might advance the spark," said he.
"Not much. Just th least trifle

still, and the paen of the unconquerable

waves at every lifting swell of the stolid
ocean that rolled on Just the same where
its prey dangled within the lapping of Its
tongue, and out yonder where, perhaps,
no man had been since creation's morn.
"Theodore!"
The file stopped for a minute.
"Keep her as she Is," said he. "We've
got fl.e submarine stopped. I've got th
chain about filed through but I'm a little
tired. Keep her as she is for Just a llttl

Aga'n the file began II work. The im

that the terrific consumption of gas In tb
engines made the seconds too precious for
use In conversation. A minute's supply

supply, mltjlit savs their liv In the home

after this deadly peril, or to sink In the
waves from which they were now fighting

tirely Justifiable and that no mistake had
been made. Having received such assur
ance and being convinced that the boy had
not been Injured, she said: "All right son,"
and closed! the telephone.
Considerable discussion has been had as
to why the robber did not shoot the boy ,
either in the bank before he fled or in the
cornfield, where the boy followed him.
Klrby Is quoted as saying that he could
have killed the lad, but did not wish to do
it Cashier Maxfleld, after making complete
Investigation, is of the opinion that young
Julius would have been shot and possibly
killed except for th fact that the robber's
pistol failed to work. Originally he had two
revolvers when he entered the bank, but
as he fled he dropped one of them, which !
examination revealed was a splendid firs- j
arm. The other weapon was old and some-
what rusty. It Is agreed that when con-
fronted In the cornfield a quarter of a mile .
distant from tb bank. Klrby tried to pull '
his gun on the boy. Therefore, Cashier Max
fleld attributes his failure to shoot to the
defective mechanism.
