Early in the spring when gasoline
was lowering about 35 cents a GALLON,
in the face of declining prices Tor
every other commodity on the market
including automobiles, local service
and auto people sought a way to Sc
cure cheaper fuel for motor cars. No
relief could be promised or anticipat-
ed by the older companies.
After Investigating the possibilities
of purchasing gasoline in wholesale
lots, two local men organized the In
dependent Oil company. They are
Frank Bledsoe, Ford dealer in the
Warren District, and John j. Bowen,
Studebaker representative in Cochise
coun5y. The organization is Co'part-

Shirley has seen long service in
highway work. A graduate of the Vir-

came road engineer of Baltimore
County, Maryland. In May, 1912, he
was appointed chief engineer of the

it was during his long term in this
office that Marylands great system
of highways was constructed. IN
1917 and 1918 he represented the
State Highway officials on the High
way Transport Committee of the
Council National Defense, larer be-
coming secretary of the Highway IN
dustries Association. Recently he
turned from this work to his profes'

the moment destroyed his nerve: now.
at Drummond's words, he recovered
himself. There was no mercy on the
soldiers face, and In his inmost heart
darlington knew that the end had come.
For strong and wiry though he was,
he was no match for the other.
Relentlessly he felt himself being
forced toward the deadly liquid he had
prepared for Drummond, and rs the
irony Of the thing struck him, the
sweat broke out on his forehead and
he cursed aloud. At last he backed in
to the edge of the bath and his strug
giles redoubled. But still there was no
mercy on the soldiers face, and he
felt himself being forced farther and
farther over the liquid until he was
only held from falling Into 1t by Drum
mond's grip on his throat.
Then, just before the grip relaxed
and he went under, the soldier spoke
once:
Henry Lakington," he said. "the
retributlon Is just"
Drummond sprang back, and the
liquid closed over the wretched mans
head. But only for a second. With
dreadful cry darlington leaped out.
and even Drummond felt momentary

and let him through. And the kindly
mercy which Lexington had never
shown to any one In his life was
given to him at the last.
Blindly he CROPPED his way up the
stairs, and as Drummond got to the
door the end came. Some one must
have put In gear the machinery which
worked on the fifth step. or perhaps 1t
was automatic. For suddenly heavy
steel weight revolving on an arm
whIzzed out from the wall and struck
darlington behind the neck. Without

weight. unchecked, changed suddenly

"That only leaves Peterson" re-
marked the American, coming into the
hall at that moment, and lighting
