Church Federation Pleas for Friendship of Capital, Labor

By TH& VISITOR. Dr. Charles H. Winders, executive secretary of the Church Federation of Indianapolis, has asked the ministers of this city to make a plea Sunday for “a more friendly relation between capital and labor.” Because several churches are closed during the last weeks of August and preaching services have been discontinued in others until September because of the vacation season, it will be impossible to have a complete Labor Sunday observance here, but the pastors who will preach Sunday have informed Dr. Winders they will be glad to observe the day. i Dr. Winders in his letter to ministers who are members of the federation states: ‘‘Labor day comes at a most unfortunate time —just at the opening of the fall campaign. This year, Aug. 31 is Labor day. However, if for any reason you cannot get to it on this day we should be glad to have you make some reference to it the first Sunday in September. ‘‘May it not be possible for .you to at least speak of it and to make some reference in your prayer? It seems important that we should cultivate a more friend’y relation between capital and labor. "Anything you can do to promote a spirit of good will and cooperation from your pulpit will be grealty appreciated. “May I also ask you to remember, in sermon and prayer, the first Sunday of September, the opening of the schools, which will occur Sept. 8. “I feel that this affords an opportunity for all the churches and ministers to tie up together more closely, the public school interests •of the city with the city’s religious ■lfe and purposes. I “It has been my custom to send la. letter dealing with this especially, Ibut as these two important inters cats are so close together this will be the only notice of the opening of school which you will receive.” • * • THE RICV.

lux’,lN lIF.RK TODAY The “Nervous Wreck.” an eccentric young easterner, is driving Sally Morgan Irom her lather'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. Later Charlie McSweeen. foreman of a ranch along the route, malice them captives because he wants Sally for a cook. It develops that Mr. Underwood, the owner of the ranch, was in the car which they held up. Sheriff Bob Wells. -Sally’s fiance, is unwittingly searching the countryside for the ■ bandits” who held up Underwood. Sally and the Wreck finally escape lrom the ranch. They run into a camp of real bandits and are again taken captive. “I figure we ain't goin* to turn you loose right yet.” says ‘‘Nosey,’ one of the gang. NOW GO ON WITJH THE STORY EHE WRECK, who had been wonderfully -patient through it all, was thinking whether it would pay to claim a community of interest with Nosey and his friends. He suggested it to Sally in a low tone, but she shook her head. “They probably have a rival gang worse than the sheriff,’ she whispered. "Besides, we don’t look like a gang. They’d never believe it.” Denver had stirred up the fire, tossed a few fresh stfeks on it, and was getting breakfast. The leader of the party went off in the direction of the flivver, evidently to make an inspection. Lefty, still acting as guard, sat impassive against his tree, apparently not even indulging in thoughts. “They can’t keep us forever,” said Sally. “But perhaps long enough for the sheriff to catch up," suggested the Wreck. “That would be bad, although I was resigned to it awhile ago. Now I feel as if we had a chance again.” “We’ll make a break whenever you spy.” Sally shook her head. “This outfit would shoot you if it had to, I haven’t the least doubt,” she said. "And besides, Henry, do you know that right now* I haven’t the least desire to make a break? I’m horribly sleepy. I’m not a bit excited over this; I’m too tired. So long as I thought it was Bob Wells’ camp I was mad, and that woke me up. But now I’m drowsy again. I’m not going to make any break from

here until I get some sleep. And I don’t care if the sheriff walks right in on us.” Denver motioned that they pould help themselves to breakfast. It was not very inviting. All that Sally wanted was a cup of coffee. The Wreck, however, ate heartily. Sally found a fairly comfortable spot under a tree and stretched herself for a nap. She advised the Wreck to do the same. “I’ll sit alongside of you,” he said, “and keep an eye on things." “Better get spme sleep yourself.” “I’m not sleepy. I can’t sleep. I’d like to bust ” “Ssh,” said Sally. “AND NOTIFY THE SHERIFF?” SNEERED NOSEY. In three minutes she had dozed off and In ten her slumber was deep. The Wreck propped himself againit the tree, drew up his knees, folded his arms across them and directed a surly stare at Lefty. The latter, with hi3 rifle at his feet, did not seem to be disconcerted. He did not, in fact, appear to display much Interest in the prisoners, beyond an eye to their security.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

The Wreck was determined to l keep a vigilant lookout for opportunities. After a little while he observed what struck him as a singular phenomenon. The figure of Letfy was undergoing some strange distortion. It shrank, It swelled; sometimes it seemed to float in the air, again sink into the ground. The image trembled and danced before his eyes, in a queer yet fascinating manner. There were moments when it vanished entirely, only to reappear with illogical abruptness, three or four times as big as it was before. He had been calcuating the possibilities of a sudden dash; he be lieved that Lefty would succumb to swift attack, if only Denver was not hovering about as a potential rescuer. Yet when Lefty began to assume a variety of shapes and sizes he was not so certain. His elusiveness to the eye was disconcerting. Then he was conscious that Lefty had assumed normal proportions again. He was strolling around the camp, his rifle drooping from the hollow of his arm. Sally was sitting up, doing her hair with the aid of a little mirror that proclaimed the advance of the feminlnst movement in Montana. She was smiling at the Wreck. “Have a good sleep?” she asked. “Hun? Sieep? I haven’t been asleep. Maybe I closed my eyes a minute, but I was just resting ’em.’ "Then they’ve had a good rest, Henry. I’ve been awake for an hour, and they’ve been closed all that time.” "What time is it?” “Almost sundown.” He stirred himself and grinned sheepishly. “What’s been going on, anyhow?” he asked. “I don’t know, except that the ones they call Nosey and Denver aren’t here. I asked Lefty where they werd* and he said they’d been gontTTor hours, and that It was none of my business, anyhow.” It was dusk when Nosey and Denver rode into camp and dismounted. Lefty grumbled something about being left alone ajl day and was told to shut up. Then there was a conference. The Wreck and Sally missed most of it, but gathered that Nosey had decided that it would be safer for all hands to Temain where they were for another night. Something was said about the'sheriff, but they could not catch that part. / “I’ll be dogganed if I’ll stay here another night,” said the Wreck to Sally. “Ss-h. We may have to.” “But what do they want with us?” “I’ve no idea. I think they’re just afraid to turn us loose.” Thq, Wreck addressed himself to the leader.

“What's the idea?” he demanded. f “Shut up.” The Wreck glowered and moved uneasily, but Saljy laid a hand on his arm and warned him with a look. "Any reason my wife and I can't he driving on?” ho asked. "And notify the sheriff?” sneered Nosey. "Damn the sheriff.” “Sure. Only I don’t figure you’re goin’ to drive on for awhile yet. Besides, we may be wantin’ to use the car ourselves.” “And how long do you think we're going to stay here?” “Just as long as I see fit," said Nosey. “And if you don't keep your face shut, I’ll shut it for you.” Again Sally restrained her partner in captivity. The only thing that had a soothing effect was her plea that if anything happened to him she would be left there alone with three unpleasant strangers. They talked things over in low tones while Nosey and his companions busied themselves with getting supper. “They’re worried about the sheriff,” she said. “That’s plain enough. Bob must be right in the neighborhood somewhere. They don’t even dare go out to the main road.’ “Well, they’re not going to steal my car. That’s certain.” "What are you going to do about it, if they make up t'heir minds?” He was not certain, but he had an idea there would be noise and excitement. “And a few shots,” added Sally. “And then we won’t worry about flivvers or anything else. You keep your head on your shoulders, Henry Williams. I’m not in any great hurry to lose mine.” He growled a complaint about hanging around and doing nothing. “We’ll find a chance yet,” she whispered. “They're just as much fussed about this as we are. They don’t want us around here, but they’re afraid to let go of us. They don’t know that we’re running away from the sheriff, too. and we’d never he able to make them believe it. We’re a pair of white elephants on their hands, but they can't find the answer.” Lefty, who had relinquished guard duty to Denver, brought them some greasy bacon and coffee. “You'd better fill up,” he advised. "You can’t tell when you’ll be feedin’ again.” He did not suffer an explanation of this remark, and Sa’ly and the Wreck had a fresh sense of uneasiness. Then the trio of captors entered upon a long consultation. The only person who paid even casual attention to the prisoners was Denver, who sat where he could keep

too handy to encourage an attempted break. Darkness came again, and Sally and the Wreck were ordered to move closer to the fire, where they could be watched more readily. Nosey took the added precaution of tying their feet together. He did not bother about their hands as yet; he merely wanted to be sure that they coqld not break and run on an instant's notice. The consultation of the trio continued, at a little distance from the Are. where they were beyond earshot of the prisoners. Although it was conducted in undertones, Sally and the Wreck sensed disagreement, and even acrimony. Finally, Nos'ey’ brought it to an end with a peremptory gesture. “You stay here and watch ’em,” he ordered Denver. “Lefty and me are goin’ down by the main road fbr awhile. And the first crack they make, let ’em have It.” CHAPTER XX X The Storm Probably an hour elapsed -before anybody spoke. The Wreck’s soul writhed under the torture of inactivity. Time after time he calculated the chances of a spring at Denver’s throat. Even with his hobbled feet he believed that he might achieve a success; but he could not be absolutely sure.
