BEGIN HERE TODAY The ’Nervous Wreck.” 'an eccentric young easterner, is driving Sally Morgan from her lathers 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 five gallons at the point of a gun. Later they are held captive at a ranch along the way because Charlie McSween. the foreman, wants Sally for a cook. They discover that Mr. Underwood. the wealthy New York owner of the ranch, was in the ear 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 hears them notify Sheriff Bob Wells, who is Sally fiance, of the robbery. NOW GO ON WITH ’TIIK STORY K rx ON'T let it worry you," said | J the Wreck. perfectly calm,” retorted Sally. “You’re nervous, anyhow.” “I’m not nervous.” “I'm an expert on nerves," he said. “You can’t fool me. I’ve spent my money on specialists and I know. Right now you're more nervous than I am—and I’m a wreck.” There was a good deal of that kind of conversation all afternoon. The Wreck had an idea that if he could get her really angry she might forget about the sheriff for a while. But the only times she got angry were when she thought about Bob Wells, and then she was just as likely to be laughing again the next minute. As for getting angry at the Wreck, she refused. It was a form of comfort that was denied her, for some unaccountable reason. “Bob Wells ought to have more sense than to let anybody fill him up with a fool story about four highwaymen,” she said, as she sat down to peel potatoes for supper. “Why, there isn’t any such thing as even one road agent, nowadays.” “We even have ’em in Pittsburgh, Sally." “Pittsburgh: I’m tired of hearing about Pittsburgh. You’d thing the sun rose and set in Pittsburgh.” “Not if you lived there,” said the Wreck. “Well, don’t be holding It up as a model, anyhow. It sounds—provincial.” He refused to be irritated, which

did not help Sally at all. “But you'll see the sun rise and set there before I get through with it,” he remarked with a confideni jerk of his head. "Now what do you mean by that?” He explained, with a sudden enthusiasm that surprised her, that as soon as he had his process finished he was going to take the smoke out of Pittsburgh and take a lot of money away from the corporations that made the smoke. It was the first time Sally ever heard him much about himself, except the nervous part. They knew he was a chemist, and that was about all. Dad Morgan, not being qualified in chemistry and regarding it as something that existed only in textbooks, had never pressed inquiries. He assumed that the Wreck was some kind of a professor and let it go at that. But it seemed that the Wreck was a chemist who did things in steel plants and he had picked up a lot of information about smoke, as well as i good deal of smoke itself. He was going to make Pittsburgh as smokeless as though it were run by electricity. It was only a question of time and patience and a little more research, he said. He explained the whole thing to Sally, with a lot of words that she did not understand' and while he was talking about Pittsburgh and what he was going to do to it, she also learned that he was b >rn in Yonkers, New York, had three sisters, was a graduate of a college, had been to Europe twice had lived in Australia, could play golf, hated the movies and was 32 years old. “H’m,” said Sally, who actually forgot about Bob Wells for a few minutes. “I thought you were older than that.” “That’s because I'm all shot to pieces,” he said, gloomily. “What rank nonsense.” “Wait till you get insomnia.” “Bosh. You only think you’re sick. Whatever made you nervous, anyhow?” “Women.” Sh* stared.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

“Women?” she echoed. “Henry, are you joshing me?” "It’s a fact, said the Wreck. “1 can't stand women. There’s a pair of them in the laboratory. And three of them in the office. And seven in the boarding house. And thousands of ’em going to work, and coming home, and butting into you, no matter where you go. I haven’t got anything against ’em, but I just can’t stand ’em.” Sully continued to stare. “Did you ever take one of them to a movie?" she asked, curiously. “Once. But sho got sore at it and cried.” , "Did you ever learn to dance?" "No!” “Did you ever sit on a front porch and talk to one of them?” “Not unless they nailed me.” “And you think you're a woman hater ” He looked at her in surprise. "I didn’t say I hated them. I don’t. I just can't stand them. They make me nervous. They act so ” He stopped and appeared to discover that she was a woman. "I —excuse me.” ‘‘Certainly I’ll excuse you,” said Kally, “because you're a big idiot. Put on an apron and help me with these potatoes. He was obeying her when Charley McSween came into the kitchen, burdened with two medium-sized grips and a ridiculous little bag that belonged to the Wreck. “Seein’ as you’ve got convictions against rassin’ baggage,” he said, “I fetched it up myself. Now, about accommodations.” He scratched his ear. “When we have Chinks here, we sleep em off in a corner of the bunk house. But your wife ain’t a Chink. We’d have plenty of room in the house, only the boss and family are here. There's one room left upstairs, but she's awful small and I don’t figure that she’ll do for two people. Books to me like Williams here—what’s your first name, anyhow?” “Henry,” supplied Sally. "Well, it looks to me like Henry’d have to take the Chink corner of the bunk house. How about it, Henry?” The Wreck said it would suit him exactly. “The boys ain’t like to bother you any, seein’ as you’re white,” added Charley. "They won't bother me,” said the Wreck, significantly. Sally was not so confident; she knew how “the boys’ sometimes behaved when they had a dude on their hands. But she hoped that Charley was right, because the Wreck was not a patient young man and there was no telling what might happen If they etarted to haze him.

Four of the boys came in at supper time; there were three more who were out having a look at the fences and Charley said they might not be back for a couple of days. The quartette took one look into the kitchen and then made a quick start for the bunk house, where there was more scrubbing and shaving within the space of half an hour Underwood's ranch had known since Charley could remember. Then they drifted into the kitchen and hung around. Sally was always good to look at. even when she wore a big apron. If she was not downright pretty, she did not miss the mark by any noticeable distance. There was a smooth fluff in her brown hair that even Harriet Underwood might have envied. There was a steady, friendly look in her brown eyes, which were as fine and long-lashed as any pair that might have been found in the face of a beauty. Her lips had a pleasant curve when she smiled, showing strong, beautifully even teeth which even the Wreck had observed to be white beyond a fault. The boys at Underwood's ranch even fell to cleaning their fingernails as they watched her. Somehow, without even so much as suggesting it by word or look. Sally had a way of creating in others—men, usually—an Impulse to be neat. She did not mind having the boys sitting around the kitchen, even though they did not belong there until they were told to come and get supper. There was. however, one feature that bothered her She Jiad chosen to be from the east, like the Wreck, and It was not easy to play the part. There were lots of things that a tenderfoot was not supposed to know, or say, and it kept her constantly on guard to remember the fact. She found it safer to confine herself to "Yes,”

Just as she fearecL they fqund the Wreck amusing. deal of the conversation centered around his spectacles, which he wore, except for excursions into the dining room. But some rare policy of restraint seemed to have settled upon him: he calmly ignored most of what they said, and when he did answer it was with an apparent good nature that surprised Sally. She knew, however, that he was not bearing it as easily as he seemed to be; he was simply holding himself in. Evidently she had made him understand the need for caution, and for that she was thankful. CHATTER XI —And Rides Sally had very little speech with the Wreck next morning, and such words as they exchanged dealt with routine trivialities. He was not in conversational mood, finishing his breakfast in almost complete silence, but with excellent appetite. The Wreck disappeared after the morning dish-washing. He hated to wash dishes; his very soul rose in rebellion. The only reason he endured it was because Sally would have to wash them herself if he did not. Women were always imposing obligations on people even without making any demands, he reflected irritably. You bad to do things for them, or you felt mean inside. The lesser evil was to do things.

UNDERSTANDING URGED Plea for Modem Boy and Girl Made by Williams. By Times Special CLAY CITY, Ind., Aug. 15. Oscar H. Williams, recently appointed to the De Pauw University faculty, in an address here Wednesday night before the Parent-Teacher Association made a plea for greater understanding of the youth today. “We should never cease to forget that the age has brought in one bag the motor car, the motion picture and the radio. If Susan and Jane and John are more sophisicated than the boys and girls of other days, they are no less true in verities. At the bottom, they are same as boys and girls have since time began.’ Restaurant Bandits Sought By United Press RICHMOND, Ind., Aug. 15.
