DM /©IQ24 -Lby NEA SeiVicelnc

BEGIN HERE TODAY The “Nervous Wreck." an eccentric young easterner, is driving Sally Morgan from her father's ranch to the railroad station when they run out of gasoline. The occupants of a passing car refuse' to lend them any. and the Wreck takes ft Vo gafions at the point of a gnn. Later they are held captive at. a ranch alone the way because the foreman Charlie McSween. wants Sally for a cook. They discover that the wealthy New York owner of the ranch, Mr. Underwood, was in the car which they held up. and that he and his boy and girl are to stay at the ranch for several weeks. At the risk of being recognized, the Wreck waits on the party in the dining room and overhears them magnifying the story of the robbery. The telephone bell rlngß. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY ES: this is Underwood. Got Y him, have you? .. . All * right. Put him on. . . . That the sheriff? Great Scott! you’re a hard nrian to get. . . . Never mind This is Underwood. Get me? What? . . . Yes; that’s right. Off in the northeast corner of the county. Now listen: ’’l was held up last night in my car. About thirty miles from the ranch, I should say. West of it, on the main road; there’s only one road. We didn't come here direct; drove around by way of Duncan. The road’s better. Had my son and daughter with me, and a driver. Are you getting this . . . “Four men. . . . Yes; four! Blocked the road with their own car and held us up. We never had a chance. Took watches, valuables, money. . What? . . . Took everything we had that was worth carrying off. Stole all the gasoline out of our tank and left us flat on the road. Let the air out of our tires with a knife. How’s that? . . . “How the devil can I give you a description? It was pitch dark. They had handkerchiefs over their faces. I’m not supposed to furnish a set of Bertillon measurements, am I? You didn’t expect me to take fingerprints, did you, with a gun stuck under my nose? You’re what? There w r ds an inarticulate rumble from the living rodm, then a booming of the heavy vdice.

“You're surprised?” roared Underwood. “You didn't think -there was anybody working the road over this way? Well, if you're surprised, what do you think I am? Doesn’t a property owner get any protection in this county? I’m no tourist. I've got a place here. If you want to know whether I pay any taxes just look up the books. What? Oh, you know about me, do you? Well, I'm damned glad somebody knows about me. Now, the best advice I can give you is to get busy. . . . . How’s that? . . . “How do I know what direction they went in? They started east when they left us; that’s all I know. I want action —understand? I'll pay any reward and any expenses that are necessary, hut I want action. I'm going to find out whether a taxpayer in this county has any protection against highwaymen. . . . All right. You’re getting on the job at, once; is that it? . . . Yes; I’ll be here for some time. I’ll expect to hear from you without much delay. Your name is Wells, isn’t It? . . . All right.” The Wreck, who was pouring ritffee for Chester, spilled some into the saucer, but recovered himself. So the sheriff’s name was Wells! Jerome Underwood came back Into the dining room, wearing the ex pression of a man who has achieved a stroke of business. “Made it pretty strong, didn’t you, father?” suggested his son, with a faint smile. “Strong? -Certainly I did. You don't suppose I wanted to give himthe idea that it was a tea party, do you? When I’ve got a hand I play it to the limit. I don’t want him loafing on the job. He knows who I am. If he doesn’t It won’t take him long to find out.” He made another dive at the omelette. “Says he'll get a posse on the road at once. Well, he'd better. A posse! What they need out here is a few New York policemen.” The Wreck, seeing no immediate need of his services, disappeared hrough the pantry in the direction jf the kitchen. He had a queer look,

as much a look cf triumph as anything else. Sally jumped up from a chair by the window and shot a glance of Inquiry at him. "Where are my spectacles?” he demanded. "My eyes hurt.” She found them and the Wreck began to look like himself again. "Now tell me everything,” she ordered. “He’s been at the telephone, raising the county against four desperadoes,” said the Wreck. "He’s made a regular yarn of it by this time. I guess they’ll hang us for sure, Sally.” . “HENRY WILLIAMS! HE WASN’T TALKING TO—” “They’d better wait till they catch us." The Wreck contemplated her for a few seconds. He wondered just how she was going te take the news. “He’s a good liar; he piled it on. And he pulled all the old stuff about influence, and how much taxes he pays, and all the New York dope. He made me thank God I came from Pittsburgh.” “Could you get any Idea of what’s being done about it?” asked Sally, with the practical aspects uppermost in her thoughts. “Oh, there's a posse getting on the job,” said the Wreck, wearily. "A posse,” mused Sally, nodding. “Yes; I’d imagine that. Who did he have on the phone?” "He was talking to the sheriff.” "The sheriff. Uh-huh. Well, that means—” Sally stopped and stared at the Wreck. Something had started her. “What county are wfe in?” she demanded. He shrugged. He never tried to keep track of counties and he did

not know. But she read something in his eyes that caused her to clutch at his arm. “Henry Williams! He wasn’t talking to —’’ "Yes. he was. That’s exactly who he was talking to.” She walked back to the chair by the window and sat down, suddenly limp. For half a minute the Wreck was unable to figure just what sort of reaction she -was having. It semed to him that every possible emotion flashed into her face, one succeeding the other so rapidly that all was a confused blur. And then, with her head tossed back and her eyes wide with merriment, she began to laugh. “Ohft” she gasped. "Oh, Henry, did you ever hear of such a joke? Bob Wells; Bob—out with a posse—to catch me!” “I’ll admit it’s a Joke,” said the Wreck, cheerfully. “Why, It’s a perfect scream. I might have known we were in the same county; it’s so terribly big. But I never even thought about it. And now- he’s got the sheriff—Bob Wells!” She passed into another spasm of laughter while the Wreck watched. Any time they wanted to laugh about Bob Wells the Wreck was a willing listener. “I start out for a trousseau, and I get turned Into a hold-up man, and I’m chased —by Bob Wells!” “It’s great,” he affirmed, solemnly. Then he saw that another change was coming. She was getting control of herself and the laughter was fading. There was a questioning look in her eyes, a chewing of her under lip. “H'm. It’s rather embarrassing at that,” she said slowly. "I don’t know- that It’s so funny, after all. It complicates things. Bob Wells is an awfully good sheriff. When ha goes after people he’s a perfect bloodhound. He got a murderer last year that nobody ever dreamed he could get. And if he should ever And us—” —• She broke off and plunged into another period of reflection. Presently she was frowning, and thb Wreck saw that she was clenching her fists. “Henry'Williams,” she said, standing up and facing him, “I don’t like it. I don’t like it one bit. Bob Wells hasn’t got any business to be chasing me!” y "Die Wreck had never been able to make anything out of women, and now he knew that he never would.

ly manner for the rest of the day. They insisted on mixing themselves up; they refused to stay where she tried to put them. Ordinarily she was of a temperament quite serene and obedient to her will, except, of course, when the Wreck charged into It like a frisky steer. Even on those occasions her departure from a normal calm was brief and largely superficial. But the news that Sheriff Bob Wells was going out with a posse upset her poise; it struck deeper, and affected hen in so many different ways that she seemed to be spinning a weather vane in a whirlwind. She laughed, she was serious, she was scornful, she was angry, she was incredulous, she was alarmed — all these and other moods tpok possession of her, one giving way to another, only to coma back and repeat itself after a while, so that the final result was to leave her in a very uncertain state of mind. It did not help her that the Wreck seemed so be singularly unmoved by the news. He treated it as if it were a matter of small consequences. But Sally was not in the habit of steadying herself by leaning on Henry Williams; she could only account for his calmness by attributing it to a failure to realize the situation. He did not know what it meant to have a

Montana sheriff and a posse hard on his heels, but Sally did. Even a£ that, she did not believe they would be caught. Surely, she told herself, there would be a way out of things. It was not pursuit and possible 'capture that disturbed her and awakened every absurdly conflicting emotion that lay within her; it was the fact that Bob Wells was the instrument of the law. That jarred her in a most illogical but effective fashion. Any other sheriff might do his duty without protest from Sally; but Bob Wells—why did 1) go and run for sheriff, anyhow? j e had plenty of other things to J sep him busy. If he had not hustled round and got himself elected sheriff, he could have ridden over to the railroad and she would have been on the train long ago. It was a fool trick for aim to get into politics, thought Sally. (Continued in Our Next Issue) ROAD GIVEN MILK BATH Truck Upsets; More Than Thousand Gallons Spilled.
