At the point of a gun the Wreck taxes 1 five gallons from a passing car. Later Charlie McSween, fore- • man of a ranch along ihe route, ' hides the Wreck’s car and forces • Sally to act as cook. Then they 1 dfet-oVcr that Mr. Underwood, the - owner of the ranch, was in the car 1 which they held up. Sheriff Bob • Wells, Sally’s fiance, is unwitting ■ ly searching the countryside for 1 the “bandits’’ who held up Under wood. Chester Underwood, son of ‘ the owner, finds the hidden car and t identifies it as being the one owned 1 by the bandits who held them up. ’. McSween denies knowing how the » car came ti be on the ranch, but in secrete asks the Wreck for an explanation. The Wreck is telling s the story of the hold-up. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY s “Suppose,” continued the Wreck. , as he glared through his specta ’ cles, “that you happened to go stranded with your wife out in the middle .of a country that’s so big there isn't any sense to it. Suppose s you didn’t have a drop of gas. Sup > pose somebody came along who ! had plenty of gas, and you offered . in a decent manner to pay for a few gallons if they’d let you have it. And Suppose a big hog sat back in his seat and gave you the laugh and told you to get busy and push your ear out of his way, so he could drive on. And suppose you WANTED WANTED—By young man and wife, furnished room with board. No children. Prefer private home, close in to business section of city. , Must have modern conveniences.

Hey?” His voice had shrilleu itself to . an edge and he was making gestu- ■ res with both arms. _ » “All right; I’m supposin’,’ said .• Charley. ; “Well, what would you do?” ■ “Speakin’ hypothetical, you - mean?” ? > “Speaking any way you like, 1 barked the Wreck. t Charley rubbed his chin and ap . peared to consider the problem. i “I reckon,” he drawled, “I’d try i to get me some gas." i The Wreck waved an arm to iudi . cate that all doubts were resolved. i “That’s all there was to it,” he said. “Mind, now,” said Charley, cau tiously, “I’m not sayin’ that I’d feel drove to committin’ unlawful acts. Gettin’ gasoline, you might say, is meetin’ one of the demands of nature, and 1 reckon it can be justified by powerful arguments But when it comes to takin’ peo ple’s watches and jewelry and—” “They lied!” interrupted the Wreck. “I’m only repeatin’ what was told the sheriff.” “I say they lied.” “I guess we’re showin’ all hands on the call,” mused Charley. “I’m getting tired of all this ly ing,” said the Wreck, sliding off the table. “I can stop it in three minutes.” He was headed for tht: door when Sally detained him with a firm hand. "Henry, are you crazy'.’” “I’m sore.” “You stay right here. I- deft-fr care whether you’re sore or not, You’re not going near Mr.' Undef wood.” “Why doesn’t he stick to the truth, then?” “I haven’t the least idea. I don’t particularly care. But you keep away from him.” The Wreck shook himself loose from her grip and went back to the table. Charley MCSween nod ded his approval. “There ain’t any occasion to get excited,” he said. “You might go up there and tell him he's a liar and bust him in the eye. But that wouldn’t be no compensation for sil tin’ in jail over at the county seat, waitin’ for ’em to give you the rest of your natural life.’ “I’m not going to stay here for the rest of my natural life,” growl ed the Wreck. “There ain’t any need.” “How long are you figuring on?” “I figure I’m goin’ to need yea and Mis’ Williams so long as the boss and his family are here.” “How long is that?” Charley seemed to be calculating. “Not moren’t a month, it ain't likely.” Sally gasped. “A month!” she cried. “Why, ,ve won’t dream of it!” ‘T m sure sorry, ma’am. But he most always stays a month.” “We’ve stayed longer now than we had any business to.” “We’re all creatures ft. the guid- ' in hands of Providence,” observed - .lai <>. A month ain t much in . the lives of young folks.” « Sally was showing plain signals ,t a arm.

I won’t stand for it!’ Charley looked interested, and bo did the Wreck. “Just because I ve neon good natured about it,” stormed Sally, “is no reason why I’m going to let anybody rub it in. I don’t care what happens. I’m through. I m going to find out—” The Wreck was patting her on the arm. „ “Ss-h, now,” he said. “Go easy. She flung, his hand aside and turn cd on him with a look of amaze ment. “Henry Williams, are you a worm?” “That’s ail right,” he said in a voice that tried to be soothing. “You’re not going to go running yourself into trouble. “You mean to say you’re going to submit?” she demanded. ■ inere, now; you mustn’t get ex citeu?” said the Wreck. For an instant she was without speech. “Excited? You? Why—why—” She sat in a chair and burst into hysterical laughter. The Wreck turned to Charley and shrugged his shoulders. “Sometimes she gets a little ner vous spell,” he explained. “She’ll be all right in a minute or two.” Sally listened in amazement as she laughed. It was almost imposs ible to believe. Henry Williams said she was nervous! “Now I reckon we’re all normal again,” remarked Charley, with a satisfied nod. “There ain’t anything in the world like matrimonial team, work, ma’am. When Henry busts loose, you soothe him down. And when you bust loose, Henry jams his foot on the brakes. It sort of keeps you both steady and makes [ peace and quiet.” “But we’re not going to stay a . month,” said the Wreck. “Don’t . make , any mistake about that.” “No,” said Sally. “We positively won’t stay.” “Well, maybe it won’t be a month, ma'am. The family might take a notion to clear out in a couple of yveeks.” Sally and the Wreck shyok their heads. They were ti&iin, but they had .not changed t'heir minds. “The main pbint, 'said Charley, “is what in blazes mart yen do? You ain’t goni’ to navigate very far on three wheels, and anyhow, you re goin’ to get hopped on the min ute you try. That’s ths practical side. Now, personally, I'im disposed to be reasonably I ttip’t jivin’ any indorsements to t-Gc■•ffnHrt of high , JKajrjflhhi£y,_ BeiiV law abidin’ my self, it may be I'm prejudiced but that’s the way I feel. At the same time, I ain’t sayin’ but what there may be occasions when it’s justifi able to make use of asolinc wherever it can be found handiest. That, I reckon, is the sentimental side. They sort of balance off, as near as I see it.” “Get down to sense,” advised the Wreck. “I’m coinin’ to it. 11l put it brutal, maybe, but I’m sincere, as always. I’m hot going to let you young folks go diggin’ out of here just because you feel restless. I’ve got a duty to my boss and a duty io myself. I ain’t goin’ to say any anything to him, mind. I’ve done considerable lyin’ lup to now, which is a sort of guarantee that I’ll per form such other lyin’ as may be necessary. I’ve even gone so far as to get myself looked upon with, suspicion. But if you try bustin’ loose out of here and leavin’ me flat, with no cook and no dish washer, and takin’ your flivver with you as a sign of guilt, the whole durned temple is due to be pulled down sudden and ruthless.” He eyed them both with great gravity. may bc ’ Henry,” he added, ’ uiat when she comes down th" foreman of this God-fearin’ establishment is goin’ to be buried along with them that starts the wreckin’ job.

Charley commu ted an errir in applied psycho logy when ne mentioned the proba bility of a month at the Underwood ranch. To the Wreck, it might have been no great matter, although he did not fancy his environment. But to ally it was a prospect of unut terable dismay, and the Wreck was there to serve her. She should have been in Chicago before this; Ma Mirgan ought to be getting the first letters. In the absence of news, there would soon be panic at the Bar-M. Dad Morgan w’ould be rousing the county, or starting for Chicago, or gunning for the W’reck, or doing something else desperate and foolish. But there was a , flivver wheel to be found, and neither of them had even encountered a clue. They devoted part of the morning to searching for it, and tried to be sys tematic about it. Sally Look the nouse, which she ransacked from top to bottom, while tthe Wreck gave his time to a close inspection of all the outbuildings rnd such other possible hiding-places as sug gested themselves to him. Both shook their heads when they met to report. ....(Continued in Our Next Issue).... NEW HELIUM GAS FIELD IS FOUND DEADWOOD, S. D, August 28. —Foothills of the Black Hills of South Dakota are offering the latest hope that a supply of helium gas is available near here for use of the war and navy departments in furthering experiments with lighler than-air craft. This discovery was made by Dr. Dorsey Lyons, assist ant director of the federal bureau of mines, while investigating the possibility of treating “blue orcs” cheaply enough so that their valu able metals may be extracted at a profit. Hasty analyses of gas taken from wells driven near St. Onge and Belle Fourche, S. D., showed it odorless, impossible to ignite and of a lower specific gravity than ordinary illuminating gas, Dr. Lyons said. Laboratory tests are to be made to determine difinitely whether the gas is helium, and whether it exists in sufficient quan tity to make development feasible. Use your season ticket this week.

Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so at tractive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mix ture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth\s Sage and Sul )hur Compound,” which darkens the lair so naturally, so evenly, that no body can possibly tell it has been ap plied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time.
