BEGIN HERE TODAY Sally Morgan has to go thirty-five miles from her father's ranch to catch a train for the east. Sheriff Bob Wells, her fiance, is unable to ride with her to the station. So the “Nervous Wreck." an eccentric young easterner visiting at the ranch, offers to take her to the station in his little automobile. The sheriff ridicules the suggestion, but Sally and the Wreck set out anyhow over the rough, uncertain trail. After a hard tour the car becomes stuck in the middle of a stream, and they have to spend the night there. The Wreck claims he suffers from insomnia and can’t sleep, but Sally has to “scare every jack-rabbit in the country” trying to wake him up next morning. “I must have dozed off.” the Wreck mumbles. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY H” T E DID not see what she was laughing at as he stepped down into the stream and waded ashore, but refrained from asking any questions. “The coffee’s still hot,” she said, as he joined her. “I think we’d better finish it, and then fill the bottle with water. And I think we’d better save half of these sandwiches, too. We may want some lunch.” She watched him slyly as he ate his breakfast, still rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. Evidently he had slept in his wet clothes all night, but he did not appear to be any the worse for it. After the meal he carefully .polished his spectacles, put them back in place and scrambled to hfs feet with the resilience of a youth. The Wreck was a good deal of a puzzle to her. She felt that there was a lot of fraud about him, but that he was entirely unaware of it. He went out to the car again, found the block and tackle, and then crossed the stream in search of a suitable tree to which he might hitch one end of his line. Sally questioned his purpose immediately. She did not see why he wanted to haul the car out on the other side, because they would never get back to the ranch that way. Why haul it backward? The Wreck made an elaborate show of patience as he explained. The bank over which they had plunged was too steep; there was a better chance to get out on the other side. Anyhow, they wanted to keep on going, didn’t they? He

didn’t believe in going backward. She saw he knew more about the mechanical demands of the job than she did and let him have his way. With two of them hauling on the tackle, Sally in the flivver and the Wreck on the opposite shore, they finally worked the thing clear across and half way up the sloping bank. Then he started the engine and the car pulled itself out under its own power. It seemed to Sally almost a miracle of engineering, but the Wreck took no pride in it as he coiled up the tackle and tossed it into the back of the car. “Now what are we looking for?” he demanded, as he settled himself behind the wheel. “The ranch or the railroad?” “Are you still thinking about the railroad?” inquired Sally in amazement. “Why not? We started for it. the use of quitting? I suppose there’s a train today, just as there w .s yesterday.” “Os course. But — Well, It seemed better to head back to the ranch.” “Thought you wanted to get to Chicago and buy your trousseau?” Sajly colored faintly. “I never said I was going to buy a trousseau,” she observed. “Well, your father said so, anyhow.” “Did he? Well, I don’t know what I’m going to buy yet. Maybe I’ll buy a trousseau and maybe I won’t. If I see one that I like I probably will.” “Yes; you probably will,” said the Wreck. “My idea is, keep going. If you start out to buy a trousseau, for the love of Mike, buy it. Don’t start if you can’t finish. Here goes for the railroad. And—” He paused to regard her critically. “ —if you catch today’s train, you don’t need to say anything to anybody about missing yesterday’s—unless you want to.” The flivver plunged forward through the cottonwoods, which were more sparse on this side of the stream, and was out in open land again, where it looked fairly level for a considerable stretch. “The thing to do now is to look

for that road.” said Sally. “After we find it and see which way it runs, we can tell better what to do next.’’ He drove in silence for several minutes, heading in a direction she suggested. He seemed preoccupied. She knew that he had something on his mind, and at last it came. “If you tell the sheriff that I missed yesterday’s train, and if Me tries to give me the laugh,” said the Wreck, "I’ll bust his nose all over his face.” Sally greeted this with a joyous shriek. CHAPTER IV Gasless The going became better and better, although Sally could not yet discover that the route they followed promised to carry them either to the railroad or to the ranch. But It was “THERE’S A CAR COMING DOWN THE ROAD.” a relief to be in open country again, where the undulations were gentle and rhythmic, like a long ground swell, and where the flivver sailed a fairly stable course. With the lightening of his labors at the wheel, the Wreck became almost loquacious. He talked a good deal about Pittsburgh and all points East. If his conversation carried a note which stressed the inferiority of the West, Sally declined to be drawn into argument. He seemed to be happy and he was doing his best to render a service, and she was willing to be indulgent. As they crested a long, easily sloped rise she sighted Black Top again. The Wreck, whose power of vision through his thick-lensed

glasses was sometimes surprising, saw it as soon as Sally. "There's your mountain,” he said, “right where we figured it.’’ Sally studied Black Top carefully. Then they came to a road. Not a wide, paved road; just a pair of tracks in the grass. But it looked like a boulevard to Sally; she could scarcely believe in the reality of It. She glanced behind the car. Theroad twisted away out of sight a few rods in the rear. She stood up again and studied the dusty tracks as far as her eye could follow them. They showed no sign of recent travel, either wagon or automobile. In spots the grass tufts had obliterated them. On second observation, it 43id not look so much like a boulevard, after all; it was not a road to Inspire any great degree of optimism. But she admitted that it was very much better than nothing at all. “Well, which way?” asked the Wreck. “Go ahead I suppose.” “It seems to go ahead In a general direction of north,” said Sally. “That’s where the railroad Is. I don’t know where It runs In t/le other direction. I —l believe I’ll leave it to you.” The Wreck nodded and drove ahead. Both of them were rather cross and both knew it, and after that the silence was long. Then the flivver came to a stop that had something Inadvertent and ominous about it. The Wreck did not even lift the seat to examine the gas tank. He knew. He had, in fact, been expecting it for the last two hours. For fifteen minutes tnere was a tremendous boom In conversation. Didn’t he know that he was running short of gas? He certainly did. Did she think he was asleep? Didn’t he carry an extra five-gallon can? No, he didn’t! How In blazes could he, when he had to pack two grips and a lot of other stuff? Why did he

waste so much gas rambling over the ranges and getting lost? Why didn't she know where the road was, instead of trying to steer by a fool mountain? Where was he going to get any more gas? Oh, he was just going to stroll down to the comer and have them bring It up from the garage. Well, what was he going to do? Sit there and enjoy Montana. Did she think he was going to get out and push It? After it had run like that for a while Sally climbed down to the road and walked a bit, in sheer desperation. Eventually she climbed back Into the car, tried to make herself comfortable and succeeded In falling into a doze. When she awoke xt wa3 dark and somebody was touching her on the arm. “It’s me,” said the voice of the Wreck. “Vha-what’a happened?" ‘NNothing yet. We're still the same place. But there’s a car coming down the road and we ll get some help.” That roused her Into full wakefulness. She whirled about and looked back over the darkened range. Far away, a mile at least, the twin white lights of an approaching car showed clear. The Wreck switched on his own tail light, and strolled down the road to greet rescue. Sally watched. When he had gone pbout a hundred feet he stood in tie middle of the road and waited. Presently, as the oncoming car drew nearer, she could see his figure ou- lined against the growing glare. She saw him hold up his hand and wave It. She heard the athrob of a big motor stilled. Then he stepped out of the beam of light, and she could hear voices. Perhaps a minute elapsed. Then the Wreck stepped briskly into sight again and advanced toward the flivver. There was something in his

walk that Instantly riveted her attention. It boded things. “Where's that gun of yours?” he demanded, as he reached her side. “There's something about that outfit I don’t like.” Sally had already located It, but she was puzzled. “Who are they? What do they want?” “I don’t know who they are/* said the Wreck. “But I want that gun. Here, get back in the car.” She had started to climb out, but he barred the way. “If there’s going to be any gunwork,” declared Sally, “you’d better leave It to me. I know more about it than you do.” He reached for the holster, took itfrom her hands and possessed himself of the six-shooter that It contained.
