PAGE FOUR TWENTY ONE GET. MERCER DIPLMS Dr. W- Weaver Delivers Literary Address Before Sum mer Schools Students MACON, August 30. Twenty one students were graduated from the Mercer university summer school Friday night, Dr. Rufus W. Weaver, president of the university, deliver ing the literary address. Dr. Weaver reviewed incidents of the past 25 years and admonished the graduates to watch for ever, more important changes in the next 25 than ever before. “To my thinking,’’ he said, “the most signifi cant change has been the disappear ance of the open saloon, the livery stable and the odors which charac terize these two institutions. “A generation is coming on that has never seen a saloon. I have travelled this month over 2,000 miles and I did not see anywhere a drunken man. Twenty-five years ago I could not have gone down the street without witnessing this spectacle. A finer social spirit characterizes our day. “It will be more difficult for you to make a success of life than it was for the men and women who graduated 25 years ago. The con test will be harder, the competition more intense and the rewards of success more remote . I call you to hard and unremitting labor,’’ he added.

At the point of a gun D>. Wreck takes five gallons from t passing car. Later Charlie McSween, foreman of a ranch along the route, hides the Wreck’s car, takes off a wheel, and forces Sally to act as ranch, cook. Then they discover that Mr. Underwood, the owner of the ranch, was in the car they held up. Sheriff Bob Wells, Sally’s fiance, is unwit tingly searching the countryside for the “bandits” who held up Undet wood. Chester, Underwood’s son, finds the hidden car on the ranch. SlCSween pretends not to know how 77'came to be there. Sally and the Wreck have decided to make an es cape on horseback. But now Sally says. “We may not have to ride horsfs alter all.” NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “Huh?” "Chesfer has found the wheel.” He merely stared. “I knew he had something on his mind,”'she said. “That’s the main FOR SALE I 1 OR SALE—■Practically new In dian Motorcycle; bargain; also 2 used Hudson Speedsters.

He lias the idea that he’s going to put some thing over on the sheriff.” “Where’s the wheel?” demanded the Wreck. “He wouldn’t tell me.” “Well, what did he tell you?” “In the first place,” Said Sally, Towering her voice, “he told me all about his wonderful discovery of the flivver, and all about what happened between his father anil Charley Mc bween. He’s terribly proud of what Tie has done. He thinks he’ a sort of a detective. So. having found the car and stirred up a lot of excite ment, he thought the next thing to do was to find the wheel. He toid me that he found it inside of tea minutes.” The Wreck had a twing of cha grin. He had spent whole hours on the job, without obtaining so much as a trace. “Os course,” added Sally, “it was n’t for me to show that I was espe cial interested. I wasn’t going to stir up any suspicion. I got just as interested as I could afford to be. but not any more. I told him i hhought he was wonderfully clever, and I even asked him where he found the wheel. But he said he was not going to tell anybody until he caught the hold-up gang-—not even his father. He has an idea that if he doesn’t say anything about the wheel it will help him to find the people who own it.” The Wreck considered the infor mation. “Anything else?” he asked. “Nothing else, except—” She hesi tated. “What?” “Well, I though if Chester knew where the wheel was, that perhaps you could find out, too.” There was an interchange of glances. “I tjhink I get you,” said the Wreck. ‘I think you do, Henry.” “Much obliged.” “But not till after supper,” she warned him. “We’ve got to wait ofr dark. And, of course, I’ll help any way I can.” So Chester Underwood had dis covered the wheel, had he? The Wreck began to study the situation, and became absorbed in it. It was all right for me to go rid ing, wasn’t it?” interrupted Sally. He came out of his reverie and looked at her as if he did not get the point. right? ” he echoed. “Whv 1 J . g “® s . s anything you do is ail *.gnt, isn’t it?” , ' it all depends, Henry Williams? You re so awfully queer.” CHAPTER XVII RECKLESS THOUGHT It was after dark when the Wreck imeaked hip ridiculous little grip out of the bunk house and carried it up to the shed where the flivver stood. He tossed the grip into the car and placed an unlighted lantern where he could easily find it Then he waiked back to the kitchen. Sally CONSTIPATION Harm - X relief in taking CHAMBERLAIN’S „ tablets La*y pleatant—effective— only 25a FOR REPRESENTATIVE The friends of A. E. Hines and George W. Riley announce them as candidates for re-election to the General Assembly of Georgia, sub ject to the action of the Democratic primary on September 10. In announcing the candidacies of Messrs. Hines and Riley their friends direct attention to important and valuable service already rendered Sumter county by these two .gen tlemen. Both are now members of important house conur,ittees and rank high in the counsels of the body. Committees of which' they are members will have control and direction of legislation vital to the prosperity of this section during the next session of the legislature, and their friends have prevailed upon them to again become candidates solely because of their fitness ‘ind value as representatives hi the lower house. .. " THE AMERICUS TIMESRECORDER was there, pretending to be busy, but her mind was not on her task. “Go up-stairs and throw your grips out of the window,’’ he said. “I’ll be waiting for ’em. ’ “I’ve been thinking,” said Sally. "Suppose he won't tell?'' “He will. But I want your gun.” “You’ve got to be careful, Henry.” “I’ll be careful.” She saw that his mood seemed to be wholly calm, and it reassured her. “The gun will be in the small bag," she said, as went out of the kitchen. But before she tossed her grips out of the window, down into the shadow where the Wreck stood, she took the precaution of emptying the cylinder of the six-shooter. She was thinking less about the safety of Chester Underwood than she was of the welfare of the Wreck. The man who waited in the sha dow picked up the grips as they thudded on the ground and hastened away in the direction of the shed. He had several things to do before >ie was ready to recover the missing front wheel. That would be thi final detail, he decided. He was not assailed by the smallest doubt that he would find what he sought. _ H( ‘ went over to the shed where me big Underwood car was kept and found a couple of five-gallon cans. Two big metal drums, filled with gasoline, stood out-ide and a hemisphere of moon supplied light enough for his work. He filled the cans and returned with them to the tool shed, where he fllood-d the fl v- tank to the brim. Then he made a second trip, refilled his cans and putting their metal tops firmlv m piace. This gave him a ten-gallon rescue, which he lashed firmly to the running board of the flivver th \ th,r<i trip t 0 the l’ l;,ce "here the big car stood carried him inside rue shed, where he fumbled for a, minute in the semi-darkness, found something on the work bench and slipped it into his pocket. Outside, he paused in front of the gasoline drums and considered the idea of emptying the remainder of their contents. He decided it was not necessary. Back to the tool-shed, himself on the ground out sLTe and waited. It was nearly ten o’clock. There were lights upstairs in the ranch ■aouse, a light in the kitchen. But the bunk hous e was dark. He hoped that Charley McSween was in bed. But he wished that Sally would ..urry up. “I suppose my nerves will be all 'snot to pieces,” he grumbled. “Keep me waiting long enough and I’m not fit for anything.” A sound of voices reached him and he rose softly to his feet. Pres ently he could see two figures in the dim light. They were approaching the tool-shed, strolling, all too slow ly to please him, The Wreck was tense and jumpy. He could hear what Sally was saying. “But I think it was awfully clever of of you to find the car, Chester. And then to find the wheel, too. Chester laughed pleasantly. ”All you’ve got to do is use a little common sense,” he said, modestly. "Indeed, yes,” declared Sally heartily. “Where did you say you found the wheel?” “I didn’t say,” replied Chester, shrewdly. “I’m just going to wait until I see whether somebody else can find it.” They were close to the tool shed. "But I wouldn’t tell anybody,” said Sally. Chester laughed again. “Perhaps I’ll tell you tomorrow,” said Chester. The Wreck stepped briskly out of <.ae shadow in which he had been standing. “Slick 'em up! Quick!” _ There was a smothered exclama tion from Chester. “Up, I said,” snapped the Wreck, went up, as he stared through be- Slowly the young man’s hands wildered eyes at a six-shooter whose muzzle was within a foot of his stomach. “Y-you!” he gasped. "Me,” affirmed the Wreck. “Talk low’ and only speak when you’re told to, Sally, take the gun.” She stepped forward and he slipped it into her hands. i.eep it on him,” he commanded. "If ne makes a queer move, you know what to do.” He moved behind the pHsoner and , oruered him to lower I::.. hands be hind his back. With a piece of heai’y cord he bound them tightly, until Chester squirmed. Then he re lieved Sally of the gun. lou you’re the hold-up man!” sputtered Chester, when he found his voice again. You’re both in it! now’ I know—” The muzzle of the six-shooter was pressed against a tender spot be tween his ribs. | Cut out the comment and listen,” said the Wreck. “Where’s the-' Use your season ticket this week.
