wheels sending up a swish of sand in
their wake. 1t stopped within a few
yards of them, and Norris, a strange,
wild expression on his face, jumped
out. He had seen them half a mile

of terrible rage. Dashing wildly up
to where they stood, he thrust the
frightful headline under Ethel's eyes,
his face twitching in frightful contor

"Is 1t true? Is 1t true? Is it"
he gurgled chokingly.
Ethel's eyes took in the glaring
headline. and followed down to the
subhead. She started back, gasping.
