ITALIAN AIRMEN WRECKED WITHIN SIGHTJF SHIP Floated on Arctic Waters Four Days Until Rockets Were Noticed. By United Press ABOARD THE U. S. S. RICHMOND, Aug. 26. —For four days Lieutenant Locatelli, Italian airman, and his three flying companions huddled in the shell ,of their huge metal monoplane unaware of American cruisers nearby and waiting for rescuers to take them out of the storm-tossed Arctic w'aters. Locatelli and his aides, Lieut. Tullio Crosie, Bruno Falcinelli and Giovanni Braccini, today are aboard the Richmond —saved late Sunday night whsn green rockets from the plane were seen by the crew of the Richmond —and are en route to Labrador. / Could See Cruiser Locatelli was forced down last Thursday just In front of the American cruiser Raleigh. The four men could plainly see the cruiser, but owing to a heavy fog the crew aboard the Raleigh could not see the mishap of the flying plane. The monoplane was a plaything of the waves but the four airmen refused to give up hope of ultimate rescue. Every few minutes one of the airmen would crawl through the man-hole onto the swaying watersoaked wings, scanning the empty seas. Once, unknown to them, the Richmond passed just out of their vision, obscured by fog and rain. From time to time, the aviators sent up green rockets and one of these late Sunday night attracted attention of the crew aboard the Richmond. A red rocket was sent up from the ship and an answering flare came back from the plane. Lieutenant Marescalchi, a pilot, who accompanied Locatelli part of 1 the distance, was on the deck of the Richmond when the flares of the stranded monoplane were seen. He dropped to his knees half sobbing and half praying, murmuring the name of Locatelli. The Richmond trained powerful searchlights on the monoplane, and Lieutenant Locatelli could be seen standing on the bow of the flying vessel. The sailors tossed a line to the crew of the plane and dragged it beside the Richmond. It was battered against the ship and for a time the four Italians were in danger. They stripped the plane of instruments and clothing, punctured the gasoline tank and boarded the Richmond. Sailors ignited the machine and cast it adrift. Flames lapped the fusllage and the glare lighted the dark, freezing night. SON AWAITS MOTHER Man Who Left Home Twenty-Four Years Ago Found by Cousin. John W. Temple, 40. of Danvillg.

D. McClelland, chief clerk of the State auto license registration department. McClelland, who is studying automobile laws throughout the country with a view to placing his findings before the State Legislature next winter, said he will suggest that the Indiana sped law, passed in 1913, be brought up to date. He wants the Legislature to codify the automobile law, passed in 1913 and amended every other year since. McClelland said he is not “sold” on the idea of an operator's license. Study of experiments with this law in other States has not convinced him, he said, that reduction of accidents justified the expense. New measures McClelland would incorporate in the State law include regulation of motor busses, authorization of public service commission to designate railroad “stops," similar to boulevard "stops” in cities, and provisions for safety devices on busses and trucks. McClelland said he would favor permanent licenses, if the gasoline tax should be increased enough to make revenue from yearly licenses unnecessary.

BEGIN HERE TODAY The "Nervous Wreck." an eccentric young easterner, is driving Sally Morgan from her father's ranch to the station when they run out of gasoline. At the point of a gun the Wreck takes five gallons from a passing car. i Later Cnarlle MeSween. foreman of a ranch Along the route, hides the Wreck's car. takes off a wheel, and forces Sally to act as ranch cook. Then they discover that Mr Underwood. the ewner of the ranch, was in the car they held up. Sheriff Bob Wells, Sally's fiance, is unwittingly searching the" countryside for the "bandits" who held up Underwood. Chester, Underwood's son, finds the hidden car on the.ranch. MeSween pretends not to know how it came t£. be there, Sally and the Wreck have decided to make an escape on horseback. But now Sally says. "Wo may not have to ride horses, after all." . VOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “im UH? ” |— I I "Chester has found the hJZS wheel.” He merely stared. “I knew he had something on his mind,” she said. "That’s the main reason I went for a ride. He was all puffed up with importance. He has the idea that he’s going to put something over on the sheriff.” ‘‘Where's the wheel?” demanded the Wreck. ' “He wouldn’t tell me.” “Well, what did he tell you?” “In the first place,” said Sally, lowering her voice, "he told me all about his wonderful discovery of the fiivver, and all about what happened between his father and Charley MeSween. He's terribly proud of what ho has done. ' He thinks he’s a sort of detective. So having found the car and stirred up a lot of excitement, he thought the next thing to do was to find the wheel. He told me that he found it inside of ten minutes.” The Wreck had a twinge of chagrin. He had spent whole hours on the job, without obtaining so much as a trace. “Os course,”- added “it wasn't far me to show that I was ..especially interested. I wasn’t going to stir up any suspicion. I got just as interested as I could afford to be, hut not any more. _ I told him 1 thought he was wonderfully clever, and I even asked him where he found the wheel. But he said he was

not going to tell anybody until he caught the hold-up gang—not even his father. He has an idea, that if he doesri't say anything about the wheel it will help him to find the people who own it.” The Wreck considered the information. “Anything else?” he asked. ".Nothing else, except—” She hesi tated. “STICK 'EM UP! QUICK! UP, I SAID.” “What?” "Well, I thought if Chester knew where the wheel wae, that perhaps you could find out, too.” There was an interchange of glances. “I think I get you,” said the Wreck. “I think you do, Henry-” “Much obliged.” “But not till after supper,” she warned him. “We’ve got to wait for dark. And, of course, I’ll help any way I can.” - So Chester Underwood had discovered the wheel, had he? The Wreck began to study the situation, and became absorbed in it.

"It was all right for me to go riding, wasn't it?" interrupted Sally He came out of his reverie and looked at her as if he did not get the point. "All right?” he echoed. “Why not? I guess anything you do is all right, isn't it?” “It alt depends, Henry Williams. You're so awfully queer.” CHAPTER XVII Recklessly Thorough It was after dark when the Wreck sneaked his ridiculous little grip out of the bunk house and carried it up to the shed where the flivver stood. He tossed the grip into tiie car and placed an unlighted lantern where he could easily find It. Then he talked back to the kitchen. .Bally was there, pretending to be busy, but her mind was not on her task. “Go upstairs and throw your grips out of the window,” he said. "I’ll be waiting for 'em.” "I've been thinking.” said Sally. “Suppose he won't tell?” "He will. But I want your gun.” “You've got to be careful, Henry.” “I’ll be careful.” She saw that his mood seemed to he wholly calm, and it reassured her. * "The gun will be in the small bag,” she said, as she went out of the kitchen. But before she tossed her grips out of the window, down into the shadow where the Wreck stood, she took the precaution of emptying the cylinder of the six-shooter. She was thinking less about the safety of Chester Underwood than she was of the welfare of the Wreck. The man who waited in the shadow picked up the grips as they thudded on the ground and hastened away in the direction of the shed. He had several things to do before he was ready to recover the missing front wheel. That would be the .final detail, he decided. He was not assailed by the smallest doubt that he would find what he bought. He went over to the shed where the big Underwood car was kept and found a couple of five-gallon cans. Two big metal drums, filled with gasoline, stood outside, and a hemisphere of moon supplied light enough for his work. He filled the cans and returned with them to th&, tool shed, where he flooded the flivver’s tank to the bryn. Then he made a second trip, refilling his cans and putting their metal tops firmly in place. This gave him a tengallon reserve, which he lashed firmly to the running-board of the flivver.

A third trip to the place where tlie big-enr stood carried him Inside the shed, where he fumbled for a minute in the semi-darkness, found something on the work bench and slipped it into his pocket. B#*utside, he paused in front of the gasoline drums and considered the Idea of emptying the remainder of their contents. He decided it was not necessary. Back to the tool-shed, he seated himself on the ground outside and waited. It was nearly 10 o’clock. There were lights upstairs in the ranch house, a light in the kitchen. But the bunk house was dark. He hoped that Charley McSwwin was in bed. Rut he wished that Sally would hurry up. “I suppose my nerves will he all shot to pieces,” he grumbled. “Keep me waiting long enough and I’m not tit for anything.” A sound of voices reached him and he rose softly to his feet. Presently he could see two figures in the dim light. They were approaching the tool-shed, strolling, all too slowly to please him. The Wreck was tense and jumpy. He could \hear what Sally was saying. “But I think it was awfully clever of you to find the car, Chester. And then to find the wheel, too.” Chester laughed pleasantly. “All you've got to do Is use a'little common sense,” he said, modestly. ‘vlndeed, yes,” declared Sally, heartily. “Where did you say you found the wheel?” “I didn't say,” replied Chester, shrewdly. “I’m just going to wait until I see whether somebody- else can find it.” They were close to the tool-shed. “But I wouMn’t tell anybody,” said Sally. Chester laughed again. "Perhaps I'll tel! you tomorrow,” saW Chester. The Wreck stepped briskly out of the shadow in which- he had been standing. “Stick ’em up! Quick!" There was a smothered exclamation from Chester. “Up, I said,” snapped the Wrecks Slowly* the young man’s hands went up, as he' stared through bewildered eyes at a six-shooter whose muzzle was within a foot of his stomach. "Y-you!” he gasped. “Me,” affirmed the Wreck. “Talk low and only speak when you’re told to. Sally, take the gun.” She stepped forward and he slipped it Into her hands. “Keeii it on him,” he commanded. “If he makes a queer move, you know what to do.” He moved behind the -prison*!- and

irdereff him to lower'his hands behind his back. With a piece of heavy cord he bound them tightly, until Chester squirmed. Then he relieved Sally of the gun. “You—you're the hold-up man!” spluttered Chester, when he found his voice again. You’re both in it! Now I know —” The muzzle of the six-shooter was pressed against a tender spot betweeen his ribs. “Cut out the comment and listen,” Aid the Wreck. "Where's the wheel?" Chester’s glance went appealingly to Sally, but he did not find any encouragement In her face. “Where’s the wheel?” Chester drew a deep breatj?. “I won’t tell you,” he answered. “Give you half a minute to tell,” said the Wreck. "And remember: I'm desperate and I’m nervous. What happens to you is nothing In my llifo. If you don't tell me where It Is, I’m going to beat you to a finish. And If you don’t tell then. I’m to shoot you.” Again Chester made an appeal with his eyes In the direction of Sally. “Better do what he says,” she advised, coldly. "He’s mean when he has a gun in his hands." "Sally, I didn't think—” ‘‘Don't talk to me. Talk to him.” “Where's the wheel?” repeated the Wreck. Chester glanced toward the ranch house. There was no hope of help from there, even if he shouted. And something in the tense figure of tlie Wreck warned him not to shout. “You give me a chance to fight and I’ll show you,” he said. "Not a chance," observed the Wreck. “I’m not fighting tonight.

Chester was not a coward, but he knew when the cards were against him. “Time’s up,” eaid the Wreck, significantly. “Now!” Chester sighed and his figure sagged. “It’ in the back of the car,” he said.
