to the hunted man flash of courage.

thus he might encounter an out

gone foot, two feet, three; then.
suddenly his foot dislodged a pebble,
which grated sharply in the intense
stiffness. Instantly the tunnel famed

the impact driving him fiat against the
side wall-but he saw his man, and
was ready. Firing once, he leaped for

struck with all the power he possessed.

bars of steel-and the lunging body of

knew he touched the knife handle;
that he reached it first, struggling to
retain his grasp beneath the fierce
pressure of the others gripping fin

turned partly, squirming on one side,
so as to jam the fellows hand be-

In that instant he had jerked the

the huge bulk above him. Again and
again he drove in the steel, knowing
not where he struck. but feeling a

and battered body had been flung here,
like bit Of driftwood on the bench.
He extended his arms, and felt
about to be sure-yes, he lay there on
shelf of earth, out Of which that
tree grew; the gnarled trunk was
within reach Of his hand. and another
tree, a smaller one, was at the left

dreaded to learn the truth, yet forced
himself partially to sit up and ex-

but none in the shirt beneath; the
flesh was uniform, but painful to the
touch and decidedly swollen. The
bullet had struck him, but failed to
penetrate; had been DETECTED by some
thing-his watch Surely; he car

For the moment he was dazed, what
1t all meant remained vague and con-
fused.
Kelleen began to understand, and
his mind to function. He was not
killed, not even seriously hurt. He
had been almost miraculously saved !;
but now he must serve himself. He
harbored no doubt as to who had shot
him, or why. The very manner in
which 1t had been done, out Of the
concealment Of the night. revealed the
method of Bob Meager. It was his
fashion. his style; the way of cow
ard who never met his enemies face

have held him as an enemy? The
only answer Kelleen could find to this
query was Deborah. There was no
other satisfactory explanation. Bob
had not previously known the woman

still there, hidden in his stepmothers
room, his helpless victim on his return.

him, except possibly desire that he
keep out of this particular affair. That
surely was not sufficient to justify an
attempt at cold-blooded murder. No,

$4,000 WAS SPENT
FOR GAS LAST MONTH
TERRELL COUNTY SHOWS A
BIG INCREASE OVER SAME
MONTH LAST YEAR.

Nearly, $4,000 was spent for gaso-
line in Dawson and Terrell county
during the month of August. A total
of eight carloads, averaging 5000 gal
Ions to the car, were distributed over
the county. AS there are over 800 reg
istered motor vehicles in the county
it shows that every car spent nearly
$40 for gasoline during the month.
This is considerable increase over
the, same month last year, when only
six cars, or $4,000 gallons, represent
ing approximately $11,500, was dis
tributed in the city and county.
These figures do not include lubri-
eating oil. 1t has beer stated that one
quart Of oil is sold to every five gal
Ions OF gasoline, and according to that
scale, nearly $1,000 was spent for lu-
bricants last month year ago. This
year the figures in dollars and cents
spent for oil will total about $4,000.
Kerosene has also shown big in
crease over last year.
SO it seems that in spite of the talk
OF hard times, folks in Terrell are not
stinting themselves the pleasure of
motoring or lessening their business
which calls for gas and oil. Neither
are the housewives diminishing their
supply of kerosene.

THE KIWANIS CLUB
TAKES ON NEW LIFE
MEMBERS RENEW PLEDGE OF
ALLEGIANCE TO ADVANCE
MENT OF CITY.

To be or not to be was the subject
under discussion at the regular lunch
con of the Kiwanis club held at the
Woman's club house Thursday. In
terest in the meetings has not been up
to what it should have been, and it
was freely discussed whether it would
be best to discontinue the Organlza-
ton. However, after several patriotic
speeches, the real spirit OF the club
imbued them all; shoulders were
squared and a determination to put
the Kiwanis club and Dawson "over
the top" prevailed.
The shed that is to be erected at
the Central of Georgia passenger sta
ton was discussed; how, through the
efforts of the Kiwanis club this was
brought about, and how through the
efforts of the club many other things
for the good of Dawson can be
brought about.
A quartette composed of Messrs.
w. R. Melton and Walter Baldwin,
Mrs. R. R. Jones and Miss Marian
Jennings sang two songs, which were
enjoyed by all.
The Kiwanis club is the only civic
organization that Dawson possesses.
Their motto. 1--WE Build" is certainly
an appropriate one. AT present there
are about thirty members in the or
ganization, and there should be at
least fifty. And fifty determined men
who have Dawson and its welfare
foremost in their minds can accom-
p1ish a great deal more than crowd
of unorganized men who are always
content to "leave it to the other fell
low"
