WAS BURNED SUNDAY
J. w. Peterson's Mitchell Six Take,
Fire and Burns In Spite Of
All Efforts.
Litchfleld Independent: About II a
m. Sunday, while Reno Peterson was
driving his fathers six cylinder Mitch
ell touring car, and had reached the
first turn in the road leading out Of
town on the way to Lake Ripley by
the brewery road, the car in some un
accountable manner took fire. Only
the driver and a companion, Don
Lundsten Of Hutchinson were in it al
the time. The first thing they not
iced was that it was getting hot
about their feet. It was then seen
that the car was ablaze underneath
A plowed field was alongside the road
and some strenuous work was done
trying to quench the fire with loose
dirt. The patent extinguishers were
also used but to no avail. Others
came along soon, but the fire was a
fierce one and could not be subdued
It burned until the rear part of the
car was entirely consumed except the
metal parts. The gasoline tank blew
up during the fire. The car was head
ed south and good breeze from that
direction blew the flames away from
the front Of the car, and the front
wheels, radiator and engine were not
greatly damaged. However, the car
is wreck so far as repairing it is
concerned, unless returned to the fac
tory.
Mr.. Peterson carried $1,000 insur-
ance on the car in companies repre-
sented by the First National Bank.
This will partly reimburse him for
the loss. When the tank blew up,
with about 20 gallons of gasoline in
it, the flames shot up hundred feet
in the air.

Picnic sat alone In her room . few
minutes later. Her worst fears were
realised: she had indeed made a great
mistake. Not only was she not need
ed now in Miss BENEFITS home, but
her presence would be undesirable.
And, when the elder woman had told
her story, what would this stranger
j., think Of her acceptance Of his aunt's
bounty? How might he misconstrue
her motives? Well. she would have
to stay awhile and see what happened.
What happened was that Oliver
Bennett took complete possession of
the little cottage and it's gentle occu-
pants. Never before had their lives
been 30 full. so gay. so interesting.
When they were not "faring forth on
pleasure bent" he was telling them
vivid tales of the strange places and
people he had seen and the wonders
OF his travels.
Picnic thought It was the excite
ment Of these stories of adventure
that made her heart beat faster when
in the presence of this fascinating
newcomer. At no time. however, could
she overcome the feeling she had that
he secretly resented her coming to the
house.
Sometimes she caught him looking
at her In way she could not under
stand. He seemed to be probing be-
meath the surface OF her social man.
ners and questioning her inner helf.
At such times she felt almost guilty.
The climax came on Saturday eve
ming, just three weeks after Phemie's
arrival. She was coming in through
the rear doorway when a bass voice
drifted down the hall from the piazza
where Miss Bennett and her nephew
were sitting.

The taunt was taken up by Harn-

amid general rejoicing. On the rooi
was a live raccoon. and a barrel OF

Poor Picnic grasped the railing

for him to speak to her. She would
escape such humiliation.
Quickly her small trunk was packed
