MONDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 8, 1924 &WE-CK __ s ©1924 _ NEA Service he begin here today The “Nervous Wreck,” an eccen tric young easterner, is driving Sal ]v Morgan from her father’s ranch to the station when they run out of gasoline. At the point of a gun the (Wreck takes five gallons from a gassing car. Later Charlie McSween .foreman of a ranch along the route, makes them captives because he wants Sal ijy for a cook. It developes that Mr. Underwood, the owner of the ranch, was in the car which they held up. Sheriff Bob Wells, Sally's fiance, is unwittingly searching the countryside for the “bandits” who held up Underwood. Sally and the Wreck finally escape from the •ranch, run into a camp of real bandits, are captured a second time, and then escape again. Flee ing on foot from the bandit camp, they discover a riderless, bridled horse in the woods. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “There’s another one roaming around here somewhere, ’ she said. “Listen again.” After a short interval both heard it—a faint whinny from off among the trees. “Don’t move,” said Sally. “This one will answer in a minute. They’D get together, or else I don’t know forses.” Presently her prediction was real ized, but it took another call from the distance before the bridled answered. “Stay right here, Henry. The other one will come to us. You might have that rifle ready, just in case—There may be somebody rid ing it, you know, looking for this one.” The second horse was advancing more rapidly now. There was an ther interchange of calls and Sally clung more tightly to the bridle of their captive. The Wreck stood tense, ready to shoot at anything ‘ YOUR DRUGGIST IS MORE THAN A MERCHANT” Any Child Can Sell Soap Your Prescriptions Filled Only By College of Pharmacy Graduates At— MURRAY’S PHARMACY The Recall Store Opposite P.

Out of the brush and into the dim light came a second riderless horse “Hold this one,” said Sally, giving the bridle to the Wreck. An instant later she had a second captive. “Bridled and saddled like the first one!” she exclaimed. “Did you ever hear of such luck?” ‘What do you make out of it?” “They must belong to Nosey and Lefty. I suppose they left them standing somewhere, maybe, white they got out of the storm themsel and the poor things got scared ind ran away. I don’t blame them.” “Well, what are we going to do with ’em?” Sally peered at him through the gloom, as it trying to see whether he was serious. “Do with them?” she echoed, in amazement. “What do you usually do with a horse- Kiss it? You big silly, we’re going to ride them.” The Wreck made a grimace. “How about my car” he demand ed. “Aren’t we going to look for that?” “No, we’re not. Are you crazy?” So long as we’ve got their horses let them keep the car. We don’t want to go messing around that camp again tonight. We’re liable to get ourselves into trouble again. Don’t try to push luck too far, Henry Williams. We’re ; n big luck now—we've got their horses, two of them, anyhow. And we’ve got or.e rifle. What more could we ask?” He pondered the proposition gloomily. He could not treat the idea of abondonment so lightly; not that it was particularly valuable to him in dollars, but there was a bond of sentiment to be considered. Yet he could see the sound sense at the bottom of her verdict. After ail, he was primarily responsible for get ting Sally Morgan either aboard a train or back to the Bar-M. The fliwer would have to take its chances. “Oh, all right,” he growled. “Why, of course,” sa>d Sally. | “We ought to try to hit for the I main road, 1 suppose. That seems |the most sensible thing to do. We’ll i probably be able to get our bearings then. I’d wait till daylight, oniy I don’t think we. ought to. I’m afraid we’re too near the camp. They’ll be out looking for these horses. They can’t afford to lose them.” “They’ve got my car,” he remind ed her. “But maybe they can’t run it, Henry. It’s one thing to ride a horse around this country, but when it comes to exploring it in a flivver, well, you’ve got to be an expert.” He merely grunted at the compli ment, for he suspected that she was only joking. “You’d better ride the one that you caught,” she added. “He’s all quieted down now. Can you mount him?” “Certainly I can,” snapped the Wreck. “But what are you going to do? You haven’t any riding skirt.” Sally laughed in the darkness The Wreck had schaled the side ol the first captive and was trying to find a, comfortable place in the sad dle, when Sally made a flying mount of the second. “You’d better let me go ahead,” she said. “We’ll just walje while we’re in the woods. And don’t get yourself knocked off by a branch. Come on.” They set off at a slow pace, Sally giving her animal its head, save for occasional guidance in the direction the thought they ought to folcw. The Wreck’s horse followed, deter mined not to be isolated again, so ■•hat all that his rider had to do -” 00 +« balance himself in the saddle ind fend off branches with the rifle Sally had but a vague idea of whither they should go to seek the ' THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER [ PROMINENT FIGURES IN REVOLT J Os -■ .

The Wreck, having no ideas of his own as to their course, was content merely to iollcw. One consideration in .'.ally’s mind was to avoid the camp at all costs, end apparently she was succeeding in that, for afte>- half an hour of riding in a direction that was am orally straight they saw no trace of it. With the first faint coming of dawn she was pleased to discover that the trees were becoming more sparse. A few minutes later, as they rode out into an open space, the light about them was visibly in creased. The Wreck’s horse ranged along and nipped gently at the shoulder of his companion. “G’long there,” said Sally, good naturedly. “Mind your—” “Henry Williams!” she cried. “What now?” She was staring at the Wreck’s horse. “Look—look what you’re riding!” “Huh?” He squinted down through his spectacles at the top of the animal’s head, as though ex pecting to discover, perhaps, that it was an elephant or a camel, rath er than a regulation Montana mount. “It’s Bob Well’s horse!” said Sal ly. in a voice of awe. And indeed it was, as the Wreck could see, with a fair amount of early morning light coming over the hills. It was the big black ani mal that even he, to whom most horses looked alike, had come to associate with the sheriff. “I’ll be doggoned!” he muttered. Sally sat rigid in her saddle, as though the sight had petrified her. It was Bob’s horse, Bob’s saddle, Bob’s bridle—the whole outfit was there. No wonder she had bee” able to soothe the frightened animal, back in the darkness. He knew her. “We’ve stolen the sheriffs EBELIN & COMPANY I 15 Broad St. New York City We solicit your patronage in the trad ing of cotton in units of ten bales or more. J. M.

I’m all mixed up.” The Wieck did not have any vary clear idea of What it meant, but the discovery was rather pleasing to him. Unconsciously, he assumed a more jaunty pose in the saddle. “One horse is the same as another to me,” he remarked. “You thought they were good enough when we found ’em in the woods. What’s the matter with ’em now?” “But Bob—his horse—and—Wh' he must have been right close to us!” “Well, he didn’t find us, did he?” remarked the Wreck triumphantly. He even risked his seat' by leaning forward and stroking the neck of the black horse, Sally glanced at her own mount She could not remember ever ha 7 . ing seen the animal before. It was [ a medium-sized bay, rather easily Igaited, but evidently not built for speed. “We must have all been pretty close together in the woods,” mused Sally. “Think of that. Os course, Bob didn’t know about us; he couldn’t have. But he must have been pretty hot on the trail of that gang.

What I don’t under- Quart of Water Cleans Kidneys Taka a Little Salts if Your Back Hurts, or Bladder is Troubling You No man or woman can make a mis take by flushing the kidneys occasion ally, says a well-known authority. Eat ing too much rich food creates acids, which excite the kidneys. They become overworked from the strain, get slug gish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood. Then we get sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleep lessness and urinary disorders often come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys, or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by a sensation of scalding, begin drinking a quart of water each day, also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoon ful in a glass of water before breakfast, and in a few days your kidneys may act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for years to flush and stimulate the kidneys; also to help neutralize the acids in the system, so they no longer cause irritation, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to help keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby often avoiding serious kidney complica tions. By all means have your physi cian examine your kidneys at least twice a year. stand isvßvb losing his horse. Ho must have been doing some scouting on foot and didn’t figure on any storm messing things up. This one I’m riding, of course, must beloog to sonfebody in the posse.” The Wreck grinned down at his mount. In some measure the black horse compensated for the loss of (he flivver. “I’ll bet Bob’s just crazy,” said Sally. “Sure.” “Why, if anything happens to that horse—whew! He’d sooned let the whole gang get away than lose his horse.” “Well, he can have it Lack when I’m through with it,” said rhe Wreck with an airy tone. “I’ll exchange it for a flivver any time.” “And the humiliation of it,” con tinued Sally, talking half to her self. “Think of a sheriff going out to catch somebody and having some body else run off with Ins horse. Can’t you see it, Henry?” “I can see it fine.” “And there he is, back in the woods there somewhere, with noth ing to ride, and probably the gang laughing at him. “Well, it’s a good laugh,” agreed the Wreck. “Why, it’s awful!” “It is?” He looked at har sharply. “What’s the idea? Do you want to go back and hand him his plug and say, ‘Here we are. Take us to the hoosegow,?” Sally shook her head impatiently. “Os coures not. We can’t.

B.—The imposing but age-won. square in front of St. Peter’s is at last to be newly paved and overhauled as part of the drow sing -up process in anticipation of Holy Year, 1925, but only after more than 50 years of disagreement as to whether the expense should be borne by the Vatican or the muni cipality of Rome. The city has final ly made the necessary appropria tions, and work already has- been! begun. The square, one of the show places of Rome, has been in need of repair almost ever since the tem poral power of the papacy was over thrown in 1870, but until now the city has refused to supply the funds because it was argued that, since it formed an integral pars of the catha dral and Vatican grounds, the ex pense should be borne by the Church. The Church authorities re troted that is was one of the city’s most beautiful and picturesque pub lic squares, since it was always open to the public, and, therefore, it was the city’s business to keep St up.
