TEST INDICATES POWERHOTOR Indian Refining Company Check Is Interesting, Doctors put a thingamajig over your heart and listen to find out what’s wrong with you. Now they’ve got a thingamabob they'hook up with a motor car and tell you in fractions how to get more out of the old bus. It’s known as the Wasson Motor Check. The Indian Refining Company has installed one of the checking devices at its filling station at St. Clair and Capitol Ave. They drain all the oil, flush the motor and fill it with new Havoiine. Then they put the car on the testing machine. Dials show horsepower developed at various speeds and another instrument shows the slippage of gas past pistons. Testing is free. Car owners are given a chart showing the result and invited to come back after driving about 200 miles for mother test which will show whether the new oil has resulted in increase in power and decrease in slippage. In most instances, according to F. C. Stenzel Jr., assistant district manager for the Indian Refining Company, in charge of the tests, marked improvement is recorded. Five Counts Follow Accident Charles Heck, 521 E. Wabash St., was fined slls and sentenced to Indiana State Farm for thirty days on five counts in city court following an auto accident at Illinois and Ohio Sts.

SAX-GRI-XA, anew French discovery for the reduction of excess fat. is now creatine a sensation in New Tork and Paris—it seems that at last something real has been found to relieve fat people. It is a combination of anti-fat ingredients which help nature in mssolving more rapidly waste tissues, the accumulation of which accounts for excess fat. according to the theory of a famous French scientist. SAX-GRI-XA has not been advertised nor offered to the general public, but has been used in private practice in Europe, where large amounts have been paid for it. Since it has been introduced in America, the demand has been so tremendous that every good drug, store is supplied with it at a price within the reach of all. It is the easiest, safest and iuicke.it way to reduce. SAN-GRI-NA is put up in small tasteless tablets, and all you need to do is to take two before meals. GUARAXTEED ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS. Xot only will it remove excess fat. but it acts as a general tonic on the entire system and relieves that dull, tired feeling so well known to fat people. It has been found a great help in eases of general disorders due to obesity. SAX-GRI-XA can be had at Haag Drug Cos., and Hook's Dependable Drug Stores.—Advertisement.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Peter Newhall. Augusta, Ga.. whcK ungages Ivan Ishmin. Russian violinist. in a quarrel during a motorboat ride, threatens to throw Paul Sariohef. Ishmin’s secretary, overboard for interfering: He awakens from a drunken stupor to be told by Ishmin lie threw Sarichef overboard during the night. Ishmin urges him to flee to South America, but unbeknown to his wife. Dorothy, he flees to Alaska, where he is known as the Remittance Man. He joins Big Chris Larson in response to a distress signal at sea. and forces his sea jacket upon him. Their launch hits rocks. Dorothy Newhall receives a telegram that her husband s body, identified by K J s sea jacket, has been buried near Pirate Cove Alaska. She permits Ishmin to call, feeling she can now receive his attentions. But Peter had not drowned. He was rescued by another ship answering the same call. However, his appearance is completely changed by injuries received in the wreck. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY (T 1 ! WO days’ sail from Unalaska | a broken part forced the D01..1 ..1 ly Bettis into a little settlement in the Shumagin Islands; and when the ship had fastened to the dock for repairs Pete found, to his consternation, that he was in Squaw Harbor, instantly remembered as the home port of the Jupiter. For the moment he was shaken with a fear. Although his old' stamping ground was on the other side of the Peninsula, the fame of the Remittance Man had carried down this far; and likely there were men who would recognize him as Peter Neville. His first instinct was to duck below and remain in hiding. But already that chance was gone. As h? turned be ran squarely upon two men who had just encircled the pilto house; one of them was h!s captain, and the other Aleck Bradford, the superintendent of the cannery and the last man on earth , when he wanted to see now. Bradford had once offered him the hos\pitaiity of the little bachelor lodge he had built at the edge of sea. It seemed Inconceivable that the latter should pass him without recognition. Peter’s heart leaped as the man walked by without i*glance. But he was not saf3 yet. The captain was immediately bahind Bradford, and he stopped Pete with an outstretched hand. There had been few more terrifying seconds in Pete’s life.

He halted, breathless and deathly pale under his brown wind-tan and sunburn. The officer’s eyes were friendly; indeed he seemed less aloof, more companionable than ever before. “Come here, Aleck,” he said casly to the man In front. Bradford turned with no look other than friendly interest. "Meet Pete —Limejuice Pete to his friends Pete, this is Mr. Bradfcj/d, of the cannery.’ Bradford’s smile and handclasp were cordial. “Pete, Mr. Bradford has (he biggest run of Reds he ever had in his life in anew trap he was crafty enough to find, and he’s in need of some good labor. You were going to get off up here a ways anyhow—why don’t you ask for a job here with Mr. Bradford?” Until this moment Petm* had never realized how completely his appearance had been changed. Now, as Bradford gazed straight at him without even a hint of recognition, with no sign that this bearded sailor even recalled any one he had met, the fugitive's self-confidence mounted like a flame. “I'd be mighty glad to work here,” he said quietly, “if Mr. Bradford can use me.” “I can use you, all righ£. I’ll put you on the web-crew at the usual wages. I’ve never quite caught up with myself I lost so many of my best men in the Jupiter disaster. By the way, Cap’n, you were standing by when that happened.” “Yes. YVe’d gone (o help the Vigten—same as your boat, I guess. Pete, here, was on the Vigten—the single survivor. Os course, we put out a boat and cruised around until there was no hope of finding any one Vise alive —then went on without waiting for the dead to drift ashore. We picked up Pete more or less alive on ihe shore, and how he got through those reefs was a miracle. We saw, just dimly in the dawn, the Jupiter break up, but she was too far away for us to help. How many men did you lose on the Jupiter when she went down?” “All aboard, as you know—six of my men, a stranger from Nushagak whose body was never recovered — i-> nam/* turned out to be Larson—

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

and that chap that used to go as Peter Neville —we called him the Remittance Man, and he lived in a native village on the other side.” ' It seemed beyond belief to Pete that these men would not hear the wild, drun.like beat of his heart. "Did you find most of the bodies?” he asked, when at last he could trust nimself to speak. "About half of both crews. The Remittance Man, by the way, turned out to be quite a fellow down south -as I had always guessed. His real name was Newhall—something like that—and he'd got in a drunken brawl and killed a man—was up here hiding. He was almost cut to pieces by the crags, and they identified him by some papers found in his coat. The poor devil's lying buried over on the Bering Sea side, just about where they found the body."

“I KNOW I CANT WEAR MOURNING FOREVER.” Pete’s face was white, but he held himself with an iron grip. The truth was plain enough now. He had given his coat, that night to the big Norseman—Big Chris Larson, the men had called him —and it was Larson’s body that lay buried on the mainland opposite; it was Larson’s ntme instead of his own that should be inscribed on the rude headstone. He could go to work here, unchallenged and unsuspected. It was as if he had died and grown up again; that with his new appearance he must aflso gain anew personality —not that of the wealthy son of chivalry, Peter Newhall, but that of simple Pete, a plodder and a son of toil, a man of the North.

CHAPTER V Dorothy’s Decision In the months since she had heard the first news of her husband's death life had moved gracefully in Doro> thy’s home in the South. Ivan had tried hard to make her forget her loss, ignoring the clamoring public to be with her, heedful of her every wish, showering her with princely attentions. Meanwhile he wooed her with that incomparable finesse that is the peculiar gift of the eastern peoples. He never let her forget his suit, one moment in an hour. He played to her. he brought her gifts, priceless but always in perfect taste; curios out of the East, rare works of art from his owrr ancestral castle in the Urals. In her warmer moods he urged immediate marriage, aiyl when she was cool and unresponsive he begged for her promise of future surrender to him, when time had healed the wound of Peter’s loss. One night in the second year he had brought her a marvelous blue diamond—a priceless thing with a sinister history—and he had wanted her to take It as a symbol of engagement; and that night she had been strangely, deeply afraid of him. She had let the stone gather fire to her hand, and when she had taken it off and put it in his palm ii was as if its criml, hard, malevolently beautiful light had passed to his thin face. “Keep it a while, Ivan,” she told him. “Sometime I would be proud to wear it —but not yet ” j She had drawn back from - hiVn. appelled* in spite of herself at what she could so dimly read In his striking, dark face. He was always like a splendid tiger to her; tonight he suggested the same jungle monarch cheated of Its prey. She had gone into subdued mourning, but still saw a few friends and visited a few of the neighboring homes; and now, as another Georgia summer was at its height, he pleaded with her to go back to the gay colors that he loved. He' seemed to feel that when her old gaiety returned to her, when she again took her place in the smart southern society, his long courtship would be crowned with success. But he did not at once win this point, and because she did not fully understand it herself, she was scarcely able to explain to him the curious way she felt about it. “I can’t be the girl I was, Ivan,” she explained. “If that girl was the girl you loved, and you don’t want her changed, yoUM better go away—and not come back. Some way, I don’t feel that I could begin exactly where I left off. I don’t feel and think exactly like I did—maybe I’m more like the girl that Peter

originally married —like a schoolgirl instead of a woman. I feel bewildered—not knowing where to turn or how to go. I know I can’t wear mourning forever ” “Then put it off. It’s been a year and a half. Take up the old happy life again ” “There's the trouble. I don't feel I can go back to exactly the kind of happiness that you mean; of course I'll come come around to it in time, lust don’t hurry me, Ivan. Something is working in me, and I don’t know what it is; but in the end I think it will be all right. You know there is no other man. But when I try to think of you, so many times I find myself thinking of Peter —lying on that storm-tossed seacoast Just don't hurry me, and I feel — almost know—that everything will come out right for you in time.” She had, received, long since, her husband’s few belongings, gathered by the patient effort of Captain Johansen; and she could not go near them now without tears. With them she had received a letter —one that no human eyes, save her own, had seen—and some way it had revealed their marriage relation in anew light. It had not* only shown Peter from a different angle, but had also illumined her point of view in regard to herself. Her thought had taken anew course since reading his letter. Up until then she had always thought upon her husband’s disgrace and death as the consummation of his own deed; heroic punishment, surely, but for which he could blame no

one but himself. Now she began to wonder if some little jot of the blame could not be laid on her. Ivan's attentions, after those first, blissful months of her marriage, had been flattery of the most engaging kind. To receive it, to waken other women's jealousy, she had given him more dances than were his right, had devoted too much of her time and attention to him. It had aU been like a mad dream —going from morning till night, sacrificing her home hours.
