lACATION SERMON If pastor warns h AGAINST EVIL m, Wicks, Absent From w Pulpit, Prints His Sun- | day Message. ■“The most insidious temptation is ■b one that whispers. You may do lil today and tomorrow return to Bod,” Dr. Frank S. C. Wicks, pasBr of All Souls Unitarian Church, Bites in his vacation sermon which ■ published in the Indianapolis UniIrian Bulletin for the week. ■Although the preaching activities Bun the pulpit are suspended at All Buis during the month of August, B. Wicks publishes a numbpr of ■tie sermons each week and sends Bern to all members. ■Continuing in rhe bulletin, Dr. Kicks says: * ■“We do not- set out dejiberate■to do evil. We will make but one ■ception. We are not going to be Brs. This one lie and we will re■rn to truth; this one dishonest act. His one dubious transactiAi and tomorrow we will return to honesty, ■e axe hot going to be proflifiates; ■ few wild oa,ts and we will settle ■wn and become respectable ■izens. l**We act on the fatal assumption lat a deed ends with itself; that we Hn besmirch the soul; then erase I and begin a clean record. But Beds do not end with themselves. Hie seeds we have cast into the til must come to harvest. l“We are the children of our past Btions. Every act has contributed ■mething to what w r e now are. We In not fly from the sin the moment lis committed. It remains to give Irection to our lives. |The bright side is that not in vain the good impulse; the little the little deed that seems no effect.' Increase the'.r ■iber and we may escape from our Ht choicest of evil." W Little iVrtues In talking on “Little Virtues” in * same issue of the bulletin, he ys: “If the recording angel were to >en his book and read us the imes of the elect, we should hear at the list began with the men id women who have been able to j >ep life sweet amid all the bitters of living; who have spread the | nshine of good* nature; who have ■pt their lips from evil-speaking; : ho have covered the nakedness of j nful souls with the mantle of iarit7; who have been courteous, ndly, sympathetic, considerate. “These qualities seem of little eight in the moral scales, but they e the nerfume of a nature that is sentiauy sound and good. “From such natures come the oil lat calms the troubled waters of !e; that, poured on life’s malinery, makes it run smoothly and j rfselessly. “There are some good men who eak as they walk from lack of iis lubrication. They are good, at, admirable, but their step is >ugh and inconsiderate; they trame upon you without knowing it; ley are burrs to the touch. What pity, with all their virtues, they ive no tact, consideration, none of le little graces that would be as a ttting of gold to their real gems of laracter.” APTISTS OBSERVE BIRTHDAY idianapolis Association to Celebrate Thursday and Friday.

BEGIN HERE TODAY The "Nervous Wreck." an eccentric young easterner. drives Sally Morgan, daughter of a Montana ranch owner, over a rough, uncertain trail Irom the ranch to the railroad station. They run out of gasoline and the occupant* of a passing car refuse to lend them any. The Wreck takes flvo gallons at the point of a gun and drives on. Next morning they slop at a ranch and meet Charlie MeSween. the foreman, who ts ini a quandary because ho ha* lost his cooks lust belore the arrival of the owner. Sally cooks a breakfast which so pleases MeSween that he takes a wheel off their car In order to keep them on the ranch. Forced to accept the Inevitable. Sally takes a nap. It's ROBABLY she dreamed. But she was never quite sure of it, because If it began as a dream it ended as something that really happened. There was a rhythmic throbbing In her ears, and as she came slowly and reluctantly to conconsciousness it grew steadily louder. There was a mechanical regularity about It that reminded her <Jt the windmill at the Bar-B, but she realized an Instant later that she was not in her own home. And it wasn’t a windmill, either, it was rfiore like an engine. Her jeyes were blinking now. Why it was an automobile! Sally uncurled herself and straightened up In the big chair. If Henry Williams had resurrected that' flivver, if he had found that wheel, if he had been in a fight with Charley MeSween—well, then he was going to have some first-class trouble on his hands. Her ears were sharper now; she was completely anfke. She listened a second or two longer. No; it was not the flivver. It was a different kind of an engine, more orderly and dignified—wealthier. She leaned forward and pushed aside a corner of the curtain. The thing that made the noise had just come to a stop outside. Sally stared at it with round eyes. “Why, I believe —Oh, it is!” She flipped out of the chair with the sudden speed of a cat and raced in the direction of the kitchen, ‘‘They’ve trailed us!” she gasped, as she ran.” , , v CHAPTER VIII Hiding Out As Sally charged into the kitchen

by vay of the pantry, the Wreck was coming in through the door that openel on the yard. He stared at her in plain surprise; he did not know she could run so fast. “What’s the hurry?” he asked, mildly. "We’re trailed!" "Trailed? What do you mean?” “Have they seen you? she panted. "Who? What are you talking about? I haven't seen anybody but some horses down in the corral.” "Well, we’re trailed all right, Henry Williams. They're out in the front now!” "Who’s out in front?” "The people you stuck up—the big car?” The Wreck lifted his eyebrows, looked thoughtful for an Instant, then began squaring his shoulders. "Oh, all right,” he said. "We'll stick ’em up again.” Sally groaned. "We’ve got to get out of here,” she said, sharply. “We’ve got to make a getaway. We’ll get a couple of horses down at the corral before they see us. You’ll Just have to ride.” y It was a despairing thing to contemplate the Wreck on horseback, but It seemed the only chance. "Oh, I can ride,” he said. "I can ride anything. Only it’s easier to stick ’em up. We’ll takq their car;” Sally shook her head angrily. "No, you Idiot!” she cried. "We’ll take horses, If we get a chance at them. Hurry!” She had seized him by the hand arid was dragging him in the direction of the door when in walked Charley MeSween. Sally stopped and eyed him appraisingly. If the Wreck Insisted on whipping him, this seemed to he the chosen time. And if It was necessary, she would help. “I was just lookin' for you,” said Charley, addressing the Wreck. “I want a hand with some baggage outside.” "Huh?” Inquired the Wreck. “Baggage,” repeated Charley. "The boss Is here.” Sally and the Wreck exchanged a slow glance. Then she pinched*, his

fingers tightly, and he knew it was meant to be some sort of a signal! “Where are your men? Can’t they handle baggage?” she demanded. "The boys' ain’t here, ma’am. So I’m askin’ him,” with a nod Yow'ard the Wreck. "Well, my husband doesn’t handle baggage.” Again she pinched the Wreck’s fingers. “What’s the reason he don’t handle baggage?” inquired Charley. ‘Ain’t it dignified?"

"HE’S—HE'S NOT STRONG," SAID SALLY. "He’s—he’s not strong," said Sally. The Wreck began to squirm and look truculent. “I admit he ain't exactly powerful lookin’, ma’am. But a while back he said he was goln’ to lick me, so I thought maybe he could rassle a couple of trunks without sustainin’ any personal damage.” “No; you’Jl have to get somebody else,” said Sally. Charley made no effort to conceal the disgust In his soul. He inspected the Wreck from his horn-rimmed spectacles to his shoes, following the examination with a gesture of contempt. “Sewn’ as your wife won’t let you,” he remarked, “I suppose me and the chauffeur ’}l manage.” The Wreck never knew how he managed to maintain any self-con-trol, but he blamed it all on Sally. All he old wap to shout: “If you think I’m a baggagesmasher, you just wait and see what happens to your dishes.” Charley went out with a remark

FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS—By.BLOSSER

to the effect that he did not have to pay for the dishes. The Wreck and Sally stared at each other. "You—you stuck up the owner of the placel” she walled. ‘Tie was a hog,” said the Wreck, with fine simplicity. He was not worrying about the owner; his mind' was occupied with plans to revenge himself for the Insults of Charley McSween. “Os all the awful luck,” continued Sally, in an awed whisper. "To think that we walked right into his hands. I knew there was something queer about this place the minute I took a look around the house.” “Well, what do we do now? Swipe the horses?” Sajly considered, then shook her head slowly. “No; I think we’d better wait now. I don’t believe it’s quite as bad as I thought. , You see, they didn’t trail us here, after all. They were coming, anyhow. PMbably they don’t know we’re here; if they did. we’d have heard ffrom it before this. We’ve got to figure this out now—r-carefully. The main thing is to keep them from seeing you. That’s why I wouldn’t let you go out to help with the baggage.” He was not a good hand at playing a waiting game, and said so. He was still in favor of going out and taking the big car, a feat which presented to him no considerations of dismay. But Sally sharply ordered him to put the idea out of his head. The situation bewildered her, but she did not think it had yet reached a crisis. Nobody in the car had seen her; it was very unlikely that \they even hold-up man had a girl with him. So long as she could keep •he Wreck out of their sight and as long as the flivver remained locked up in the shed, there was still a chance to figure something out. But how utterly exasperating it was! Just when she was satisfied that they had blundered into a safe‘hideout, she discovered that they had really walked into the lion's den. ‘‘The thing to do, of course, is to keep them from seeing you,” she said. “You’ll have to stay in the kitchen all the time, I'm afraid. I don't suppose they'll come in here.” “They’re not going tcoop me up in a kitchen,” he growled. "Besides, it was dark last night, anyhow. They didn’t get a good look at me. I had my cap pulled down.” Charley cameV into * the kitchen again. “Wb got that baggage in, thanks to nobody that washes dishes,” he said. "And now, ma’am, I’ll have to ask you to hustle dinner. They’re real hungry.” “They’ll have dinner just as soon as I can getjt,” said Sally promptly.

OUT OUR WAY—By WILLIAMS

The Wreck regarded her with a look of amazed disappointment. Was she going to turn to and cook for a hog? It was enough to be drafted as cook for an unknown, but to do chores for your enemy was humiliation. He was about to speak when she stopped him with a look. “Seems they didn’t get any regular breakfast, except crackers, which they had-with ’em,” explained Charley. “That leaves ’em kind of hungry. They got hung up on the road. In fact, they got held up.” “You don’t mean it!” exclaimed Sally, who was digging inco the flour barrel, as a first step in the direction of making biscuits. “Oh, it don’t seem like it "was serious, ma’am. That is, there wasn’t anybody got shot. Feller just took watches and valuables and left ’em flat without any gas.” Sally ventured a look at the Wreck. He seemed to be curiously elated. “It’s been done before," - said Charley. who was slightly bored. “It ain’t anything to what they used to do. Only the boss is pretty well stirred up, which maybe is natural enough. He comes from the East, where they don’t know anything about such things.” The Wreck was standing near a

window, polishing his spectacles. It was Sajly’s first conscious glimpse of him without the born rims. He gave her a swift Impression of being another person. But there was no time to study him; Charley was too interesting. “Who is the boss?” she asked, trying to be indifferent. “His name is Underwood," said Charley. “He’s from New York. It's funny the way those New Yorker* buy themselves places that take such a pile of travelin’ to get to. And he don’t come here oftener than once a year. This time he drove all the way. It don’t sound reasonable, but he did. He’s got his boy and girl with him. I expect he’ll stay a few weeks.” (Coiijinued in Our Next Issue) TWO KILLED IN CRASHES Cai - Turns Over in Ditch—Auto and Motorcycle Collide.
