DEFENSE TEST BECOMES PARTY CAMPAIGN ISSUE Preparedness Controversy Brought to Front by Move of Davis. By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug:. I.—There was no doubt in the minds of party leaders today that the military “defense test” proposed for Sept. 12 has assumed a startling political significance. In taking a position squarely behind his running mate. Governor Bryan of Nebraska, regarding the mobilization of civilian and industrial units, John W. Davis, Democratic presidential candidate, hurled the question into the campaign, leaders agree. Preparedness Issue With the conviction they seek to guage the extent to which the issue-would have a bearing on the November elections. They see tlie possibility of a fierce controversy between the Republican and Democratic parties involving military preparedness on one hand and militarism and war-like demonstrations, calculated to disturb world peace, on the other. Both President Coolidge and Mr. Davis are now on record on the issue. Senator La Follette. independent presidential candidate, has not expressed himself on the question, although he has always opposed anything smacking of militaristic movements. With Davis’ warm approval of Governor Bryan's stand, some Democratic leaders, believing they have the best end of the argument, were inclined today to carry the fight to the Republicans. Contrast Coolidge They are contrasting President oolidge's rebuke of a pacifist group, Cin which he asserted that efforts to construe Defense Day as a “mobilization” were “unfair” and the official instructions issued by the War Department. The latter, they say, makes it plain that a general mobilization is sought. While a general mobilization in America could not possibly arouse the grave concern that Such action by a uropean nation would cause, the Democrats believe it folly for this country to engage in such a demonstration at a time when the League of Nations is meeting with the question of reducing armaments on its program. PRESIDENT REPLIES Denies Plans Would Cause Disruption of Business. By United Press LINCOLN,* Neb., Aug. I.—Presidt nt Coolidge today denied that the War Department plans for National Defense Day “contemplates a disruption of business in any way.” In a reply telegraphed to Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska the President defended the War Department order. “The people of the several States are expected to participate in accordance to such opportunity they may have for a patriotic demonstration,” President Coolidge said.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Dad Morgan stands leaning against the corral fence on his Bar-M ranch, watching the approach of two riders. They are. his daughter. Sally, and an eccentric young easterner who is visiting the ranch to recuperate from a nervous breakdown . The visitor Is known as the Nervous Wreck—- " Wreck.” for short—and is a hopeless tenderfoots Dad tells Sally that Bob Wells, her fiance, will be unable to escort her to the train next morning. She is disappointed. Sally has been educated in the east and ‘‘knows tbe ways of places far beyond the range,” as Dad puts it. Dad Morgan's ranch is a rather small one, and there is an air of idleness aobut it. "Is it a ranch taking a long and honorable rest. The busy years are behind It.” NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY r " 1 ■] AIN’T got any kick,” mused Dad. “I got mine; enough, I f * anyhow. Let the rest of 'em hustle. They haven’t come into their rheumastim yet. Only I’m sure sorry that Sally’s goin’ to miss her train.” So was Sally. But. true to Dad s mental prediction, she did not say much about it, even to Bob Wells, who had ridden twenty miles to explain and would have to ride back again that night. Bob was the sheriff. He was other things besides sheriff; things that were much more important in a material way. He had cattle of his own, and a couple of mining claims that promised, and he owned a general store at the county seat. Dad Morgan said there wasn’t a more likely young hustler in all Montana than Bob Wells. And when Bob took to calling on Sally. Dad felt that the future was working itself out in a proper and prosperous fashion. As nearly as Dad could Ague it out, in the absence of direct informa tion, Sally was going East to see about things for her trousseau. Anyhow, the sheriff seemed to be certain enough about it, and Sally made no denial. She had known Bob Wells since she first rode her own pony, as a Little wild thing raised on the Bar-M, and she did not encounter any surprise in the idea of marrying him. “I reckon,” said Dad, as he glanced up from his supper, “that Bob’s got more to lose by your missin’ that

train than maybe anybody else around these parts.” The sheriff winked as he reached for the coffee pot and helped himself to another cup. He was a large, healthy and well-pleased young man, with a slightly boisterous air, even in moments of repose. Ma Morgan nodded, but made.no comment. Ma was never very talkative; ordinarily she contended herself with confirmatory nods, the opinions and conclusions of others usually being sufficient for her. “If It wasn't for the fact that thcre’d be no way of getting the horse back, I’d ride over alone,” said Sally. “No chance,” declared the sheriff. "Pooh! Why not? Why, Bob, I’ve done It. I rode as far as the railroad last summer and I know every Inch of the trail. And it's only about thirty-five miles.” "Well, I wouldn’t let you ride alone. Besides, there'll have to be a pack horse to take your grips. You can’t manage evertyhing, Sally.” Sally thought she could, and she felt a faint resentment at the contrary implication. But she had no intention of arguing it with Bob; he was always positive about things. “Did you want to go to the railroad tomorrow?” It was the Wreck speaking. All through supper he had been eating with a silent voraciousness that caused Dad Morgan to wonder if there were any nerves in the stomach. ‘‘Why,’ I’d planned to go,” said Sally, "but it seems we can’t make it.” "Certainly we can make it,” declared the Wreck, with sudden asperity in his voice. "Why not? I’ll take you.” The sheriff laid down his knife and stared. The Wreck never failed to amuse him, but this was their third meeting. So the Wreck would take her to the train, would he? The sheriff glanced at Dad and grinned. "On a horse?” he inquired. “In a machine,” answered the Wreck, shortly. “Qh-h-h!” It was spoken with gusty good nature, but It carried a

volume of scorn. So the Wreck thought, at any rate, for he glared through his horn rimmed glasses and pushed his plate back. "Want me to drive you over in the machine?” he demanded, switch ing his glance to Sally. He flung it out as a sort of sweeping challenge that included even Ma. "Why, it would be lovely,” said ‘Sally. The sheriff took plenty of time to laugh. He rather expected Dad to join, hut Dad merely remained quizzical. Ma and Sally were watch ing the Wreck. "WANT ME TO DRIVE YOU OVER IN THE MACHINE?” “Yes, it sure would be lovely,” said the sheriff, easing down for speech “Going to put a flivver over the trail, eh? What are you figuring to do? Run her on two wheels?” The Wreck made an Irritable movement of his shoulders and ignored him. He was still looking at Sally. "Isn’t there a road” he asked. “It’s a road part of the way,” said Sally. "A good part of the way Yes, it is, Bob; you can drive a wagon over it.” “And what do you do when you come to the mountain?” inquired the sheriff, smiling. "I haven’t noticed any road there yet.” "But it connects up with some ether road before you get that far; I’m certain of it.” Sally was getting interested. "And the other road must go somewhere. There were some people from the North who came through In a car only last spring.” "Well, it’s a long, roundabout

road, even if you located it,” said the sheriff. “I know the people you mean. They had a ear.” Still the Wreck ignored him. “Is it country like this around here?” he demanded. "All open and plain sailing?” "There’s plenty of open country,” answered Sally, with a faint smile. The Wreck amused Sally, just as he did the sheriff. But she found something more than amusement in him. There were times when his as surance fairly startled her. Besides, she still liked the Idea of making her train. "Road part w’ay and open country the rest of the way,” observed the Wreck. "Anything the matter with that? You don’t hear me yelling?” "I'll hear you yelling if you try to make it in a flvver,” remarked the sheriff, and he coupled another laugh with it. Sally was musing over it, and found the idea slightly exciting. “Bob, I don’t see any reason why It can’t be done,” she said, slowly. "And if we had to turn hack, why there's no harm, anyhow.” “Turn back!" echoed the Wreck. "What for? You want to catch a train, don’t you? Well, when I start catching trains, I catch ’em. Want to go?” "Why, I—” Sally looked at the sheriff. He shook his head authoritatively. "Can’t be done, Sally. I know what I'm talking about. And besides —” He paused to observe the Wreck, who had pushed his chair back from the table and risen. Sally nibbled at her lip; there were times when she wished Bob would not be so sweepingly authoritative. "Any time tomorrow that you’re ready, I'm ready,” said the "Wreck, regarding her with a stare that was almost belligerent. "And anybody who tells you it can’t be done Is suffering from arrested mental development.” He limped out of the room, but there was something absurdly aggressive in his gait. Dan Morgan eyed his back appraisingly and then looked at the sheriff. "Wreck’s kind of saddle sore,” he observed, mildly, "but he certainly keeps chipper.” "He’s a nut,” said the sheriff. "He can’t do It in a million years.” “But he might. Bob,” Sally had a look in her eye that boded a desire for discussion. "What? In a flivver?” "I’ve heard,” said Dad Morgan—"not that I've got personal experience—but I’ve heard that folks can go ’most anywhere in them things, except in society.”

CHAPTER II The Two-By-Nothing Prairie The ranch buildings were miles back of them: how many, Sally could not exactly tell, for there was no speedometer on the flivver. But they were fifteen miles from the ranch, at least, and the railread was still more miles to the north. By the trail which wound high along the eastern flank of Black Top It was about twenty miles, as nearly as Sally could figure. They could not follow the high trail, of course; somewhere a road branched, which they must take, and Sally was intent on watching for the road. It was an odd sensation, bumping .over the trail on wheels; it helped her to forget that there had been words with the sheriff the night before, Just as he was saddling to ride back to his job at Flsher. Once she remarked the fact to him that It was a pretty bad trail, after he had navigated a detour that carried them around a boulder. "Bad trail?" he echoed, almost sharply. "You don’t call this bad, do you? I call It a boulevard.” He was obsessed with a resolve to make the task so childlishly simple that the sheriff would eat his words and be overwhelmed with mortification. The Wreck’s name was Henry Williams, and he belonged considerably farther east than Sally had ever been; as far as Pittsburg, in fact. His coming to the Bar-M had been without specific premeditation; it was merely an Incident, it appeared, in a great plan. They first sighted him in the middle of a forenoon, two weeks back, coming furiously up the coulee, with a radiator that boiled like Old Faithful and a carbon knock that sounded like the crack of doom.
