YUM, YUM, OYSTER SEASON BACK AGAIN They’re Better Than Ever, Say Local Dealers, Although the Price Is Slightly Higher, -

Travelers from the East! Genus of Bivalve Molluscs with several thousand brothers and sisters and' uncles and aunts have arrived In the city from Chesapeake Bay. Long Island Sound and Great Shore Bay. There coming is heralded by the opening of Indianapolis sea food houses and banners on windows, “Oysters on the half shell/’ “Half Dozen Fried." or "Oyster Stew.” The season opened Sept. 1 with harvesting in the Atlantic banks began. The season lasts until April. Weather conditions in the oyster fields have been excellent and the quality of this year’s suaply is better than last, dealers here said. Severe storms, volcanic erruptions and other disturbances, that Impair quality have been lacking. Prices Are Higher Some dealers say there will be a shortage and give that as a reason for a 25-cent increase in price per gallon. But George (Pop) June, veteran Indianapolis dispenser of the succulent food, says there are just as many oysters as ever and the only reason he can see for the increase is higher labor. Prices now stand at 80 cents a quart for standard quality and 51 a quart for selects. June, an authority on oysters, says persons do not realize the food value r.f this shejl fish. One dozen oysters have the food value of a pound of beef or a loaf of bread. And according? to him, pulverized shell is an ideal bone builder. He gives the following interesting facts:

“Natural oyster b?ds are dwindling and cultivation has been steadily progressing in the last ten years. In a properly cultivated bed twen-ty-five oysters may be gathered in every square yard. “The finest oysters,” says June, “are those ‘fattened’ in warm shal low waters where food Is plentiful. These come from Long Island Sound. Probably the largest bed of oysters in the world is located in Chesapeake Bay where millions of bushels are harvested annually. All Are Lazy \ “A common pratice among fishermen.” continued June, “is ‘plumping’ oysters. They soak them in cold clear water for several flays before shipping. This adds much to the appearance but deducts about 15 per cent from the food value. “The oyster is a lazy animal. He lays in a gravel bank with gapping shell and allows the tide water to wash diatoms and other microscopic organisms into his mouth for food. “It has been estimated that 1.000 full grown oysters will lay -110 million eggs. Floating masses of these embryos, called 'spat/ may be seen on the waters over an oyster bed. Each embryo measures but 1-150 of an inch in diameter, but the numbers which rise from the bank are so immense that the water seems clouded. “The young oysters float around until their shells become heavy enough to sink them. An oyster 2 years old will measure about two inches in diameter. Another inch is added during the third year, when they are marketed. After that the growth is less rapid.

HKG IN lIKKK TODAY The “Nervous Wreck.' an eccentric young easterner, is driving Sally Morgan from her fathers ranch to the station when they run out of gasoline. At the point of a tain tiie Wreck takes five gallons from a passing car. They are held captive at a ranch owned by Mr. Underwood, who was in the ear which they held up. They finally escape from the ranch, run Into a camp of real bandits, are captured a second time, and then escape again. Fleeing from the bandit ramp, they are confronted by Sheriff Bob Wells and a companion. Wells, who is Sally s fiance, had been leading a search lor the “bandits" who held tip Underwood. Angered at the sheriff Sally breaks off the engagement and says she is going to marry the Wreck. The sheriff promptly places the Wreck under arrest, and they move away. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY mHE prospect of going to ja!l did not disturb the Wreck. He did not take it very seriously. The main point was getting .Sally back to peace and happiness. Whenever they got through with him he would go back to Pittsburgh, where he might forget about things —or might not. But before that, everything must be made straight and smooth for Sally Morgan. Engaged to her? He laughed at himself. Not that there was any mirth in it, but it was a form of selfmokery for which he was in the mood. The cavalcade was in the woods, where Sally found it easier to follow the trail than she expected. Presently they came to a splitting of the trail and Sally could not he certain of her course. Then she came to a second spot where there was a confusion of footprints and hoofprints, and this she knew to he the place where she and the Wreck had discovered their mounts. In the end, retracing of a wandering trail brought them to a place that Sally and the Wreck instantly recognized. It was the camp of the three-man gang. There was little left but soaked embers, but there was no opportunity for mistake. The sheriff dismounted and examined the place attentively. He listened closely while Sally explained everything, including the affair of Denver and the thunderstorm. She seemed to stress the part the Wreck had played.

The Wreck left the telling all to her. When the sheriff began walking to and fro, studying the deserted camp, the Wreck found himself side by side with Sally. It was their first proximity since they had mounted the horses at the foot of the hill, miles back. Ho moved uneasily in his saddle. "YOU’LL GET THE HORSE WHEN I GET MY CAR RUNNING.” He glanced at her, because it seemed difficult not to do so. Sally smiled encouragingly. But the smile robbed him of his wits. “It’s a nice day," he said. She glanced up at the sky, through the tree-tops. It was blue and laughing now. "Beautiful,” she answered. "Not so warm as yesterday.” “No: not so warm.” He made a nervous gestur ethat meant nothing in particular. "But it's likely to be warmer tomorrow,” he blurted. “Yes,” said Sally. “And it probably won’t rain.” “Probably not.” The conversation had exhausted everything he dared to say. But ehe

would not let him alone. “I think,” she said, “that the rest of the summer won’t be quite so hot. It gets cooler at night, you know." “Uh-huh.” “But, of course, we can’t tell. We might have a hot wave." He looked at her suspiciously. “Still, we m.ght not have it," she added. “It’s all luck." “Yes; luck,’’ he nodded. Now she laughed outright. “Henry, please don’t be absurd. Scoin me for something; jump all over me.” n re all right,” said the Wreck lamely. ifiat's not much, but it's better than the weather,” said Sally. He shook his head irritably. lie was miserable at heart and he knew he was ridiculous. The merriment faded from Sally's face; the look in her eyes softened. Poor Wreck! “Just forget it,” she said. “I didn't mean anything." “Oh, that's all right. “Thanks, old timer.’ From the deserted camp the 'quartette, captors and prisoners, rode over to where the flivver had been left. It was ridiculously easy to find it by daylight. When the Wreck saw the car he went into a black rage. The flivver was lying on its side In a clump of bushes with two wheels in the air. It was plain enough that Nosey’s gang had undertaken to turn it around and head it back toward the main road, but the turning room was limited, and the surface was a hillside, and the thing had gone over for want of a skilled hand. The Wreck climbed down from his horse and walked around his beloved car, furious but saying nothing. Yet so far as he could see, there was nothing radically wrong with the flivver. “Is it very much damaged, Henry?” asked Sally. “No,” he answerecC*shortly. “Will It run?” “Os course.” They were still examining the flivver when two men came down the abandoned road and hailed the sheriff. They were the other half of Bob Well’s posse. “Good thing you got them horses,” said one of them to Bob Wells. “We need ’em. Bill and me have been scoutin’ around while you was gone and we've hit a hot trail. But there wasn’t any use tryin’ to foller it on foot. If we’re quick we’ll nail 'em before sundown.” “I've nailed one of them already, ’ said the sheriff, with a glance at the Wreck. “Who, him?" The newcomers stared briefly. “Well, maybe. Only he don't belong with this bunch

we’ve got located. We better get started, Bob.” But the sheriff was not ready to start. The news fj-om the dismounted half of his posse put him in a quandary. It was plain enough that what and the Wreck said about the gang was true. He related what he knew about the Wreck and asked for an opinion. One of the sheriff's assistants was a middle-aged man of solid appearance. He studied the Wreck with shrewd eyes. “Well, I don’t know anything about him." he said, “but I know we’ve got some other folks located that we want bad. And you're missin’ the chance of your life. Bob, if you don't get started.” Bob Wells was rapidly reaching the same conclusion. But what was he going to do about the Wreck? He could not take him along on a man hunt, for there was no spare horse. He ctid not believe that ho really wanted him after all, but he hated to let. him go, particularly when he looked at Sally Morgan. Even the man who had been with him during the hunt on the hillside acted as though he did not regard Henry Williams as a person of particular importance, so far as the law was concerned. “Saljy,”'said the sheriff, suddenly, “I’m going to make you a deputy.” “What for?" “I’m going to put this man in your custody.” Sally shook her head. “Oh, no, no you don't,” she said. “Henry Williams is his own boss, so far as T am concerned.” The sheriff reddened. “I’ll need those horses for my men," he said, with a nod at Sally and the Wreck. “We'll try to come back and give you a lift later.” Sally dismounted. She was elated. She had never believed from the beginning that Bob Wells would risk taking the Wreck to jail. But the Wreck remained in his saddle, star-/ lng at the sheriff. ‘‘You’ll get this horse when I get my car running, and not before,” he sEid. "Think you can leave a lady stranded out here in the woods, do you?” “Get down," said the sheriff, advancing. “Walt,” remarked the Wreck. Tie indulged In a deliberate pause. ‘Sheriff.” he said. “I’m a nervous man and I’m apt to be impulsive and do things without considering. But I’ve got this particular thing all flguged out to a hair, and I was cool and calm when I figured it. Just as sure as you go off and leave Sally Morgan and me stranded in the woods I’m going to make the State of Montana too small to hold you.

OUT OUR WAY—By WILLIAMS

“I’ll start campaigning this county, and when I get through with It I'll take the next one, and I'lF”go through e\’ery county in the State, if It takes me the rest of my life. All I'll do is to tell the truth. I’ll tell them how you chased your own giri for days and days and didn't know it. I’ll tell them that when she needed a horse she took yours and left half your posse on foot. I'll tell them how you let a real stick-up gang go about its business under your nose while you went off chasing your own friends and acquaintances. I'll tell them about the cook you were going to marry, but didn't. I'll tell them every little thing, from start to finish.” He paused again, for it was an exceptionally long speech for the Wreck. The sheriff glowed at him. “And if you figure you can keep on being a sheriff in the State of Montana after I get through,” concluded the Wreck, "then I'll give you a chance to find out by running for sheriff myself.” Bob Wells hesitated. After all, he was a pretty good sheriff, as Sally always said, and when there was a gang loose in his county he knew his duty. “And of course.” said Sally, speak-

ing up In a clear voice, ‘Til back, up every word that Henry Williams says.” The sheriff swallowed his pride. “What do you want me to do?" he' asked, looking at the Wreck. ‘‘l want you and your men to get busy and put that flivver on her feet and help get her out of here, so that: Miss Morgan and myself can goabout our business.” “Yes.” affirmed Sally.
