CHAPTER 2
OECOND Lieutenant Emil Sch-
Owabacker stood silent. Then
his eyes lifted to the stony face
ef First Lieutenant Tempts Joce-
lyn. "Sir,” said Schwabacker, "if
the bugler’s call attracta the hoe-
Ulea, do you mean to engage
them ?’’
“Engage them, Mr. Schwa-
backer? I’d like nothing better,
but my orders are firm: there
will t>« no engagement unlese we
are attacked." Ile nodded slight-
ly for Schwabacker to Join him
and walked a hundred yards In
advance of the halted troop.
Around them were many scuffs
In the earth, and when Jocelyn
pointed them out, Emil Schwa-
backer fLyed himself for not
noticing them. Somehow he felt
(hat his lack of obsertation was
a mark against him.
“Two shod ponfer, Mr Schwa-
backer. Do you attach any sig-
nificance to that?"
"Army mount*, sir. Probably

Jocelyn \va\rd his hand toward

naled. Jocelyn signaled Schwa-
backer forward and went to the
point, the ever-present bugler fol
lowing a pare behind. Kykunuahl
was dismounted snd ha opened
his gloved hand, exposing a rattle
made of buffalo tors. Jocelyn
bent from the saddle and took It
from him, turning It over sever; I
times. "What do you make ot
this, Corporal?”
"I’d say Kiowa, air. I've seen
plenty back home in Texas."
"Mr. Schwabacker 7” Jocelyn

"That's Sioux work, sir.”
"Sure looks like Kiowa to me,"
KykundaM said again.
“Mr. Schwabacker haa learned
well, Corporal." Jocelyn took the
rattle from Schwabacker snd
dropped it in his pocket. "Return
to ths point. Corporal, and keep
your eyes open. We've been
trailing a war parly all afternoon
and It would be uncomfortable if'
ive got too close "
Kykundahl went on. and when
darkness began to ciose in. Joce-

This caused s frown to corru-

He shrugged. "Possible, but up

"Very commendable,” Jocelyn
said in a voice that told Schwa-
backer nothing. That was Joce-
lyn's way, to leavs a man wan-
dering whether he was being
laughed at or congratulated. Joce-
lyn looked around at the bivouac.

Mr. Schwabacker. We have a long

Schwabacker turned away.
Corporal Kykundahl had his blan-

and Schwabacker said. "I guess ,
I'll never be able to tell whether
he s laughing at me or not.”
K> kundahl looked up quickly.
The lieutenant? He keeps his 1

"It s hie formality that geta
me." Schwabacker said. "I n an
officer the same as hs is, but
i he never calls me anything but
mister.' He calls Finnegan by
his first name, but I just can t
get through to the men.”
‘Takes time, sir,” KykundaM
said softly. "Ths lieutsnant s got

with him for yean. That makes
the difference.”
"How long have you been with

"Flv* years, sir."

UTEAV YORK—As much as ths chamber of com*
jgr'M J t mere* would like to forget it (listen—4«
we *ate a chamber of commerce here?), this I*
a city that draws card sharps, mountebank*
charlatans and con men as foolish young girl
children are drawn to Elvis Presley.
There are reasonably honest men who com*
n here with new angles, new ways to turn a dolls*
} ! —but there also are flim-flam artists who flgurq
with some logic, that there are enough suckers In
Manhattan to keep any good, fast talker In fund*
i for the rest of his life.
Some of them set up businesses, like the "pur*
Irish linen" shops that forever are holding sale*-*
and to battle these, New York haa an orgsnixa*
lion, supported by more than 700 companle*
called the Better Business bureau. For 33 year*
the bureau haa been protecting dtisens of tht
big town from unethical merchants.
• • • •
LIKE ITS SMALLER COUNTERPART, the Broadway **soci*»
tion. ths Better Business bureau doesn’t have any concrete power*.
All it does is to try to turn a cold, searching white light on wrong,
doings. It does this, for instance, sometimes by buying an item
that Is advertised and then, if necessary, writing to the store lik*
! so: "We have shopped your ad and found it inaccurate and m«s-
leading.”
An even sturdier weapon la the bringing of the misleading ad t*
tha attention of newspapers’ advertising departments, which try ta
protect ths readtr st all costs.
In ths bureau’s flies are records on more than 300,000 companies
Individuals and stores. One of its most effective outlets Is a monthly
bulletin Issued to the 700-odd member*, snd it also handles N*
phont calls snd 200 or so letters a day. Nearly 40 men and worn**
work for the bureau snd a handful of these are out on ths town
most of sach day, investigating such frauds as dishonest fun*,
raising schemas.
Not only does the bureau’* staff check more than 600 newspapo*
ads a dty; it also checks radio and television commercials. Not to*
often does It uncover flagrant lying—but just as bad are ths mls-
leadlng claims made by advertisers. The general feeling at ths BBB
is that New 3ork City's newspapers have the “cleanest" ads in'
America but at that, 10 or 20 misleading ads ars uncovered each
Wffkfnd.
• • • •
THE BUREAU WAS SET UP ORIGINALLY in 1922 with mens*
from the New York Stock exchange. Stocks and bonds were berta^'
ning to boom at thst time and the exchange's executives were W
ginning to worry about fraudulent stock deal* and outright swtn.
