Stole Grapefruit Before
Mr.. Empke Immediately called
the sheriff and Deputies Evans
Oswalt and Nice started for the
raIich, meeting the ear with the two
men short distance from town.
Both men admitted they were at
tempting to steal grapefruit.
Starr or Needham told the district
attorney this morning that he was
native of Oklahoma, but that he
had met Jackson at Redlands where
they were picking oranges. Later
be said that jackson came on TO FL
Centre and he followed. Both men
were living with Jackson s mother,
Mrs. M. E. Thompson, at 800 Ham
ilton street, he said.
"We were unable 10 find work, -
Starr said, "and one day when we
were going along the San Diego
highway, Jackson pointed to the
grapefruit orchard and said that in
case we failed to get anything to do
we could sell grapefruit.
"We entered the orchard at the
Empke ranch once before the time
last night. That time we got about
$15 or $40 worth of grapefruit,
which we sold in Calexico," Starr
stated. He denied having had any
- In n@h
and said that so far as he knew,
Jackson had not been mixed up with
any.
Although Jackson was unable to
talk to District Attorney Utley
this morning, he told Sheriff Gillett
last night that he had entered the
Emke orchard once before and stole
grapefruit which he had sold in
Calexieo.
Had Suspected Jackson
The ear which jackson and Starr
are said to have used in their at
tempted burglary last night, and
which they left behind when they
fled, is at the county Jail, where it
is being held. 1t had two gasoline
cans in the tonneau, pinchbar and
a piece of canvas hose. The tread
on one of the rear wheels is the
same, deputies say, as that which
they have tracked on several ocea
sions from places that have been
burglarized.
Some time ago, Sheriff Gillett
said he had suspected that Jackson
might be mixed up in some of the
burglaries around the valley and
his house had been watched, but
nothing that would appear suspi-
cious was seen.
Mr.. Empke came to the district
attorney recently for information as
to the law regarding interference
with burglars. He said then that
he had been losing a great deal of
fruit and that he intended to go as
far as the law would permit in
guarding his property. He was in
formed at that time that he was
within his rights in using a gun TO
drive off burglars.

The paddock would not yield to a
pull. He tried several keys, but
none OF them would manipulate the
lock. Then he picked up a stone
and began hammering at the hasp.
Eventually 1t loosened under the at
tack and he managed to wrench it
out Of the wood. Rusty hinges
groaned as he swung the door back.
A dusty fiivVer stood inside the
shed. he stared at it for a while,
wrinkling his forehead and trying
to remember whether anybody at
the ranch possessed such a thing.
He stepped into the shed and walked
slowly around II. The place was
getting rather dark. which was not
favorable for detailed observa ton.
So far as be could see, however, it
looked just like any other f1ivver.
But no; there was a front wheel
missing on the left side. A soap box
had been placed under the axle He
looked around the shed. but could
not find the wheel. It struck him
as peculiar that anybody should put
a flivver under lock and key, par
ticularly one that only had three
wheels
Presently he stepped outside again
and paused for another view of the
rear end. His glance rested upon a
license plate and became fixed there
There was vague stirring in his

Next ne saw the black horse and its
rider headed along the trail that led
to the main road. He could hear the
sheriff whisthng; there was a com
Placent sound about it that made
him scowl.
He waited until the man Of the
law passed from sight among the
distant spruce, then set off at a
rapid pace for the ranch house.
Sally had very few words for any
body during the evening. The
Wreck vainly tried to maneuver her
into a private conversation. but she
kept aloof from him. He wanted
to hear all she knew about the sher-
ifs visit. and it puzzled him when
he discovered that she was deliberate

ing about things, he figured; women
had a way of getting sentimental
when there was absolutely no sense
in it He was willing to bet she
was half sorry that Bob Wells had
not discovered her, although she had
been in a wild furry for fear that
he would. 1t would be just like her.
Sentimentality! She wanted a sweet
heart, and she didn't want him. If
anybody could figure out what a
woman really did want, the Wreck
was willing to listen.
A couple OF the boys drifted in for
late supper. along with Charley
McSweeen. Timothy hung around
the kitchen. The Wreck finally gave
up the job and went out. He'd be
hanged if he'd wash the dishes; let
Timothy have fling at it.
Sally finished her work and went
to bed. She was still angry.
Listeners never hear any good of
themselves" kept running in her
head. That was not exactly true in
her own case. Probably the things
she overheard were compliments; she
had heard them before and always
so regarded them. But
80 Bob Wells is marrying a cook,
is he?" she muttered as she turned
off the light in her room. I'm a
smart girl. and I'm pretty; oh, yes.
But the cooking is the main thing.
It's downright important and neces-
sary; it's the foundation. Oh, wait
till I see him."
Downstairs in the big living room
there was an earnest conversation
in progress between Chester I'm
derwood and his father. 1t dealt
with discovery. Chester, roaming
about after supper in hope of a
word with Sally Morgan, and failing
to get it, had drifted idly down
the outbuildings. He had OBJ
served before that one of the little
sheds, commonly used for storing
tools AMI various odds and ends. was

thing around the ranch. but he hal

and these new hold-up gangs some
times make a pretty good profit. The
sheriff says they didn't get into his

didn't like to contradict him in front
of the sheriff, but there was six, all
right. I'm going to tell the sheriff
ought to have all the clews, so he
can get to work right"
Certainly" said Sally in an alb
sent way.
She was bordering over the sur
prising intelligence from Timothy
and wondering how it affected the
case of the Wreck and herself If
there was really a gang at work in
the county-and, of course, Bob
Wells would not say so unless it
were true-it seemed to make their
own case much simpler. The exploit
of the Wreck would naturally be
blamed on those who were in the
business for a living. 1t began to
look as if they were hiding from
nothing at all.
She slipped into the pantry and
closed the door behind her. At the
farther end was the other door, that
opened into the dining-room. 1t was
a swinging door. with a half-inch
space between the edge of it and the
frame. She tiptoed forward brought
her ear close to the crack and stood
there breathing softly.
Underwood was talking, but not
about bandits. He was talking about
Sally's apple pie.
I'm going to take her back to
New York with me and fire my

He paused to chuckle comfortably.

heavy voice of Jerome Underwood.

the sheriff lightly. You take that

I've got a girl who can cook every

she can do a lot more than cook.
She's smart girl and she's pretty,
