verified the statement. "All right. Dump it out In the road
 The driver stared through the darkness.
 Dump it out!'' And the Wreck executed the order himself by kick ing the can over
 Now fill it again." he commanded.
 The second filling was accom- plished.
 "Thatll do. That leaves you five gallons. It's too much for hog, at that Come along with the can, now''
 They made second trip to the fivver and emptied second dose into the tank under the seat.
 Now we go back again" said the Wreck. And when I tell you to do something, I don't want any ques- tions asked" "N-no, sir"
 Once more at the side of the big car. the Wreck ordered his servant to lay aside the five-galon can. Got a tire pump on that engine?" he inquired. "Yes, sir " Rotten luxury. But it's going to save your back a lot of work, Get busy now and let the air out of those tires. All of it."
 The driver hesitated@ from bewil- derment rather than insubordination. But he jumped to the task when the Wreck prodded him with the mrzzle of Sallys six-shooter. The tires flat tened themselves under the wheels. each with long shrill sigh,
 "Open up those valves on the spares" directed the Wreck.
 The spares also sang swan song.
 There. That'll keep you busy for while. Come along"
 They joined the group of sitters in the middle of the road. Standing with his back to the headlights and carefully shielding his own face from illumination, the Wreck contemplated his victims for a moment
 "You!" he said, suddenly. with significant gesture of the gun. "rhe big one who didn't went to sell any gas. Stand up!'
 The owner of the heavy voice rose slowly to his feet, looking slightly anxious Most of the belligerence had departed from him.
 I've good mind to give you trimming" said the Wreck, but haven't got time to do it right. I've met all kinds of hogs in my time, but you're in the blue-ribbon class. Maybe you don't know you're getting off light, but take it from me you are. If you think a f1ivver is funny, I'm going to give you chance to play with it. Humph yourself!"
 He urged the large man in the di- rection of the group behind him. Sally had climbed back into the seat, and the Wreck joined her. He switched on his headlights and took the wheel, but he still had the gun in his hand.
 Now, you just lay hold of that crank and get to work, hog"
 The gentleman with loud signs of wealth seized the crank and yanked 1t violently
 Spin it." ordered the Wreck.
 He spun it, but there was no answer from the engine.
 Spin it more.''
 Not even a sputter.
 Spin it again-harder."
 Still there was no response. The large man panted heavily and wiped his forehead.
 You going to keep me here all night?" demanded the Wreck. If you don't spin that crank"
 There was another furious spell of whirling. Sally pinched her com panion.
 How can he start it when you haven't turned on the ignition?" she said.
 He can't" said the Wreck. Dog gone it. what did you butt in for? I wanted to see him spin it !"

CONDEMNS WARFARE
Synod Of the Potomac Expresses
View That Strife Is Anti
! Christian and False.

That the Synod Of the Potomac of
the Reformed Church looks upon
modern war as "anti-Christian and
an utterly false method of settling
international disputes" was ex-
pressed in a resolution adopted at a
recent meeting at Gettysburg, Pa
1t was set forth that the synod "ap-
proves sincere efforts to secure arbi-
tration Of all International problems
and welcomes the advent of an in
ternational court of arbitration. It
considers all efforts to substitute
military ideas for the peaceful ideals
of goodwill and brotherhood that
have characterized the history of our
nation as dangerous and unchristian,
and unalterably opposes all glorifica-
tion of war. 1t looks with suspicion
upon the undue pressure for war
preparations because of the exceed
ingly great difificulty in the way Of
determining the use to be made OF
such preparations and the hasty and
secret ways in which nations are
plunged into war, and people are
thrust into the carnage without
either their. knowledge of the pur-
pose or their voice in the declaration
of war"

the Grace Reformed Church, where
President Roosevelt worshiped, and
