The Nervous Wreck" an eccea.
tic young easterner, is driving Sal
ly Morgan from her fathers ranch
to the station when they run out
of gasoline. At the point of a
gun the Wreck takes Eve gallons
fl ON a passing car.
They are held captive at a ranch
owned by Mr.. Underwood, who was
in the car which they held up. They
finally escape from the ranch, ran
into camp of real bandits, are cap
tured second time, then escape
again. Fleeing from the bardit
camp, they are suddenly confronted
by Bob Wells. Wells, who is Sally's
fiance, is at the head of posse
searching for the bandits who
held up Underwood. Sally breaks
off her engagement with the sheriff
and says she is going to marry the
Wreck. The Wreck, with the uppc,'
hand, orders the sheriff and his men
to put his overturned ear on its
feet.

CHAPTER XIV
AND THE FLIVVER ROLLS
ROLLS

The Wreck bossed the job. He
took an arrogant tone, particular
ly toward the sheriff, and Sally was
glad. She was glad because the
bossing job gave the Wreck some
thing to do, and in its performance
he forgot his embarrassment about
other things, at least temporarily.
He was terse and confident in MS
commands. Not a finger would he
lift himself; he had four men work
ing for him. 1t took their united
strength to put the fivver on four
wheels. Bob Wells wanted to gcs
it over with and be on the trail
again.

Wreck, sharply. want 20 buckle a

Sally listened to this with a sorse
of satisfaction.
The flivver was back in the aban-
doned road. but Henry Williams was
not through with his helpers. Tnc
expected that he would fill up The
gasoline tank, turn the crank end

have to be rolled for quite dis

main road. The sheriff scowled

"But they don't understand"
"Lots Of people don't understand

"Huh?"
She meant something; he felt csr-

some things that he did not under

"What don't they understand"

''Do you mean me?" he asked,
sharply.

They were doing something wrong
with the flivver.

Well. you'll be surprised to know
how nice he was to Uncle Dave when
he, learned he had come all the way

read three jokes aloud from an old

And combed his curly queue.

Boycott Voted
Against Catholic
Church in Lewiston

Lewiston. Me-, March 15-Threat-
ening to boycott st. Patrick's church
as well as their own church, Holy
Cross, unless the name of the latter
is changed to the French name "St.
Croix." Franco American members
of Holy Cross parish declare they
will continue their fight "for patriot
ism and defense of the rights Of the
French to the bitter end.
When the new parish was formed
in the West Rose Hill district of
Lewiston, several months ago. it was
given the name Holy Cross. At once
there was protest from the Franco
Americans who say they compose
about 95 per cent of the membership
of that parish. They insisted that the
name be changed to the French, st.
CroiX."
Comforting with TIE pastor. the
Rev. NJ. r. Drain. who came here
from South Berwick, a committee re-
presenting the Franco american
members say they got little or no
satisfaction. Then they took their
troubles before Bishop Walsh Of the
Portland diocese but without definite
results so far as changing the name
was concerned.
Then they voted not to attend Holy
Cross church and even threatened 10
withdraw their entire support from
the construction work Of new
church which was begun last fall. a
recent meeting in Cercle Canadian
hall voted not to attend services In
st. Patrick's church or any other
Catholic church not bearing the
French name. until their wishes re-
Carding the change Of name of their
parish are complied with.
II is said that the matter is TO be
placed before all Of the Franco
American societies of Lewiston and
Auburn. The dispute has attracted
wide attention Letters of sympathy
are said to have been received from
Franco American clubs In Lowell.
