COULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED
Good Reason Why Autoist's Action
Aroused the Indignation of Pub
Iic-Spirited Sheriff.

Barney Dareboy's giant Crackard
bicycle purred jOyously as Barney
drove it at a 971z-mile clip along the
sandy highway toward Flat Rock,
Mich.
"Td like to see the hecker that
can stop me tOday!" chuckled Bar
ney as he fell off in the town.
But at that moment he observed an
individual ahead of him in the center
of the road, so busy giving a stimuli
taneOus imitation of Pavlowa and
George M. COhan that he never even
heard the onrushing Crackard bicycle.
Just in the nick of time Barney
swung aside and crashed through a
hOg-tight fence into a meadow, and
the next minute Sheriff WeegIes
dashed up and had him by the collar.
"Have a heart, sheriff." protested
Barney. "You know dumdasted we'll
you wouldn't even have got my num-
ber If 1 hadn't turned aside to save
that poor mans life. A kind deed
like that"
81 don't object to stray chickens be-
ing run down, and 1 don't object to
nOthin' under a hundred miles an
hour" said Sheriff Weegles grimly,
"when a guy deliberately busts town
property fence instead O. KILN loaf
er that's been a burden on the COM
munity for eight years, he's a-goin' to
get fined good and stiff, he is."-De-
