“Why not climb up into this battered old windmill, Amos, and take an observation?”
“Now, that’s a good idea, Jack, only we’d better be mighty careful about showing ourselves too recklessly, you know.”
“You mean that there might be German raiding parties skirmishing around this section of country, don’t you, Amos?”
“Well, we’ve had to hide twice today when we glimpsed suspicious squadrons galloping across the fields, or covering some far-off road. And you remember that one of them bore the stamp of Uhlans in their lances with the fluttering pennons, their dirt-colored uniforms, and the spiked helmets.”
“Oh! we’ll try and not show ourselves, Amos; but since we’re a little mixed up in our bearings this seems too good a chance to lose.”
“These Dutch-style windmills we’ve run across in this strip of Belgium do make mighty good lookouts and observation towers. I warrant you some of them have figured heavily in the ebb and flow of the war.”
