\V£dN£SDAY &?TERNOON, AUGUST 20, 1924 ft,NERVOUS fcW WRECK .. .—. ' ©1924 -b? NEA inc BEGIN HERE TODAY Th e ‘ Nervous Wreck, ’ an eccen tric young easterner, is driving Sal lv Morgan from her father’s ranch to the railroad station when the/ run out of gasoline. The occupants of a passing car refuse to lend them any, and th e Wreck takes five gallons at the point of a gun. Later they are held captive at a ranch along the way because Charlie McSween, the foreman, wants Sally for a cook. They dis cover that Mr. Underwood, the wealthy New York owner of the ranch, was in the car which they held up, and tha he and his boy, and girl are to stay at the ranch for several weeks. At the risk of being recognized, the Wreck waits on the party in the dining room and hears them notify Sheriff Bob Wells, who is Sally’s fiance, of the robbery. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “Don't let it worry you,” said the Wreck. “It doesn’t worry me; I’m per fectly calm,” retorted Sally. “You’re nervous anyhow.” “I'm not nervous.” “I'm an expert on nervds,” ho said. “You can’t fool me. I've spent my money on specialists and 1 know. Right now you’re more nervous than I am—and I’m a Wreck,” There was a good deal of that kind of conversation all afternoon The Wreck had an idea that if he could get her really angry she might forget about the sheriff for a while. But the only times she got angry wi re when she thought about Bob Wells, and then she was just as likely to be laughing again the next minute. As for getting angry at the Wreck, she refused.

It was the first time Sally ever heard him talk much about himsef, except the nervous part. They knew he was a chemist, and hat was about all. Dad Morgan not being qualified in chemistry and regarding, it as something that existed only in text-books, had nev er pressed inquiries. He assumed that the Wreck was some kind of a professor and let it go at that. But it seemed that the Wrack was a chemist who did things in steel plants and he had picked up a lot of information about smoke, as well as a good deal of smoke itself. He way going to make Pittsburg as smoke less as though it were run by elec tricity. It was only a question of time and patience and, a little more research, he said. He explained the whole thing to Sally, with a lot of words that she did not understand; and while he was talking about Pittsburg and what he was going to do to it, she also learned that he was born in Yonkers, New York, had three sisters, was a graduate of a college, had been to Europe twice, had lived in Australia, could play golf, hated the movies and was 32 years old. “H’m,” said Sally, who actually forgot about' Bob Wells for a few minutes. “I thought you were older than that.” “That’s because I’m all shot to pieces,” he said, gloomily. “What rank nonsense.” “Wait till you get insomnia.” “Bosh. You only think you’re sick. Whatever made you nervous, any how?” “Women.” She stared. “Women?” she echoed. “Henry, are you joshing me?” “It’s a fact,” said the Wreck. “I can’t stand women. There’s a pair of them in the laboratory. And three of them in the office. And seven in the boarding house. And thousands of ’em, going to work, and coming home, and butting into you, no matter where you go. I haven’t got anything against ’em, but I just can’t stand ’em.” Sally continued to stare. “Did you ever take one of them to a movie?” she asked, curiousiy. “Once. But she got sore at it and cried.” “Did you ever learn to dance?” “No!” porch and talk to one of them?” porch and tak to one of them?” “Not unless they nailed me.” “Arid you think you’re a woman hater?” He looked at her in surprise. “I didn’t say I hated them. I do not. I just can’t stand them. They make me nervous. They act so—” He stopped and Appeared to dis cover that sh e was a Woman. “I excuse rhe.” “Certainly I’ll excuse you,” said Sally, “because you’re a big idiot. Put on an apron and help me with these potatoes.” He was obeying her when Charley McSween came into the kitchen, burdened with two medium-sized grips and a ridiculous little bag that belonged to the Wreck. “Seein’ as you’ve got convictions against rasslin’ baggage,” he said, “I fetched it up myself. Now, about accommodations.” He scratched his ear. “When we have Chinks here, we sleep ’em off in a corner of the bunk house. But your wife ain’t a Chink. We’d have plenty of room legal AD NO. 732.

There’s one I’oor.i left upstairs, but she’s awful small and I don’t figure that she’ll do for two people. Looks to me like Wil liams here—what’s your first name, anyhow?” •» “Henry,” supplied Sally. “Well, it looks to me like Henry’d have to take the Chink corner of the bunk house. How .about it, Henry?” The Wreck said it would suit him exactly. , “The boys ain’t like to bother you any, seein’ as you’re white,” added Charley. “They won’t bother me.” said the Wreck, significantly. Sally was not so confident; she knew how “the boys” sometimes behaved when they had a dude on their hands. But she hoped that Charley, was right, because the Wreck was not a patient y oung man and there was no telling what might happen if they started to haze him. Four of the bpys came in at sup per time; there were three more who were out haying a look at the fences and Charley said they might not be back for a couple of days. The quartet took one look into the kitchen arid then made a quick start for the bunk house, whero there was more scrubbing and shav ing within,the space of half an hour than Underwood’s ranch had known since Charley could remember. Then they drifted into the kitchen and hung around. Sally was always good io look at, even when she wore a big apron. If she was not downright pretty, she did not miss the mark by any notice able distance. There was a smooth fluff in her brown hair that even Harriet Underwood might have en vied. There was a steady, friendly look in her brown eyes, which were as fine and long-lashed as any pair that might have been found in the face of a beauty. Her lips had a pleasant curve when she smiled, showing strong, beautifully even teeth which even the Wreck had ob served to be white beyond a fault. The boys at Underwood’s ranch even fell to cleaning their finger nails as they watched her. Some how, without even so much as sug gesting it by word, or look, Sa’iy had away pf creating in others— men, usually—an impulse to be neat. She did not mind having the boys sitting around the kitchen, even though they did not belong ther e until they were told to come and get supper. There was, how ever, one feature that bothered her. She had chosen to be from the east, like the Wreck, and it was not easy to play the part. There were lots of things that a tenderfoot yas not supposed to know or say, and it kept her constantly on guard to n - member the fact. She found it sal. : to confine herself to “Yes,” “No,” and “Really?” go far, as it was pos sible.

Just as she feared, they found the Wreck amusing. A good deal of the conversation centered around his spectacles which he wore, except lor excursion into the dining room. But some rar e policy of restraint seemed, to have settled upon him; he calmly ignored most of what they said, and when he did answer it was with an apparent good nature that surprised Sally. She knew, however, that he was not bearing it as easily as he seemed to be; he was simply holding himself in . Evidently she had made him understand the need for caution, and for that she was thankful. CHAPTER XI —And Rides Sally had very little speech with the Wreck next morning, and such words as they exchanged dealt with routin e trivialities. He was not in conversational mood, finishing his breakfast in almost complete si lence, but with excellent appetite. The Wreck disappeared after the morning dish-washing He hated to wash dishes; his very soul rose in rebellion. The only reason he en dured it was because Sally would have to wash them herself if he did not. Women were always imposing obligations on people even without making any' demands, he reflected irritably. You had to do things fo t them, or you felt mean inside. The lesser evil was to do things.
