DIVORCE
EVIL
Sign Of Moral Decay When
Vows Are Broken So
Easily, He Says.
By international News Service.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 15.--
When the sanctions of religion
are taken from marriage; when the
law permits it's indiscriminate an
nulment at the behest of wealth or
caprice we are fastening the proc.
ess OF moral decay" asserted the
Rev. F. e. Ross, pastor of Grand
view Methodist Episcopal Church,
here, sermonizing on THE Divorce
Condition in America"
This condition is intensified by
ideals often set forth in fiction and
the silent DRAMA" continued the
Reverend Ross.
Can anyone doubt the effect of
such standards upon our life to-
day? Too often marriage is re-
garded as mere convenience, emo
tional impulse, or romantic advenI
ture. It also is viewed in the
sordid light of a business contract
to be terminated at will.
els It surprising, under such cir
cumstances, that the most sacred
human emotions should be dragged
into the courtroom and the holy
bonds Of matrimony be snapped
asunder with an impious and re-
morseless disregard of the conse-
Quences? Meanwhile the press re-
gales us with lurid and unbIushing
tales of Mrs. A. or Mrs. B,
who severed conjugal vows for the
third, fourth or fifth time.
when the church speaks and
acts as one upon this great ques-
ton Of family life the nation will
not be far behind in registering in
law and statute the sober thought
and enlightened conscience Of the
people," declared Doctor Ross, who
said the churches were to blame
largely for the absence of uniform
divorce laws. He said probably
250,000 children were affected by
the 148,000 divorces granted last
wear

lahehe Of questions, He told it
rapidly, while Sally kept an anx-
ious eye on the house. When he
finished she sent another glance in
the direction of the black horse,
who was unconscious of having Gre

turbing.
"You don't suppose he's tracked

But Bob's awfully smart when il
comes to being sheriff. If he knows

Scorn and defiance shone in the
eyes Of the Wreck.
It's a hundred to one he doesn't
know we're here" he said. cts q
thousand to one he hasn't any idea
who he's after. He probably come
for some more information. And
they're all lying so hard he'll never

NOW 40 ON WIFE LIE STORY

"Huh?" demanded the Wreck.
Comes out of your wages,
guess" observed Timothy. 81 be
You must bust quite lot"
The Wreck placed the remainder
of the dishes on the table and Sc
lected the top one.
''I'm going to bust more" he
said.
AS Timothy lodged the dishes she
uttered yell Of surprise. 1t hit the
wall just behind his chair. A second
one was not so well aimed, for j;
went through a window. But Tim
othy did not wait for any improve
ment in the craftsmanship. He
bolted for the door, which he reach
ed while the fourth dish was in the
air. 1t crashed against the jamb
and most of the pieces fell outside.
The Wreck surveyed the marks
of his achievement, shrugged his
shoulders, lifted the pile of dishes
from the table, and resumed his
journey to the pantry.
Damn that Underwood pup" he
said.
i. Timothy had not personally fig
ured in the matter at all, so far as
the Wreck was concerned. He was
merely symbol.
Late in the afternoon the Wreck
went for walk. His impulse was
to take the trail that led back into
the hills; it was in that direction
Sally and Chester had ridden. But
he sternly compelled himself TO fol-
low the wheel track that went to-
ward the main road. Let her stay
out riding as long as she liked; it
was no affair of his.
He did not pay much attention
to the trail. His mind was concen-
trated on the problem of where
Charley McSween had hidden the
wheel of the flivver. In odd hours
ne had been searching furtively, but
without the least satisfactory result.
The flivver was locked in a shed,
INTO which he could have easily
broken; but he knew that it was
useless to search there. Charley
would not have made things quite
80 simple as that. The wheel was
somewhere else, and it would be
time enough to break into the she'd
when he located it. Several times
ne considered the advisability of
trying to thrash the truth out of
Charley, but Sally always voted the
project. She had respect for his
proves, but she was by no means
sure that he could whip everybody
on the ranch. Even if he did, there
was no certainty that Charley
would tell.
He was still walking slowly, his
eyes staring at the ground, when a
drumming sound caught his ears.
lnstinctively, he paused to listen.
Horses. They were coming nearer.
too. Probably Sally and Chester
had been cireling around through
the hills, he thought. Well, if that
was the case he had no desire to
meet them. He did not want Sallv
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1924-08-22

to get the notion in her head that
he was eavesdropping or that ne
had the least interest in anything
that she did. SO he stepped off the
trail.
There were clumps of young
spruce on every hand, and he NOV
ed around behind one Of them,
where he could not be readily seem
The hoof-beats continued to grow
louder, and the Wreck, crouching,
peered through his screen for a
view of the trail.
Only one horse, after all, he de-
cided a few seconds later, but 1t
was moving briskly. Then, around q
turn in the trail, it appeared. 1t
was big, black animal, with a long
stride, and the man who rode it was
also big. A rifle in a holster hung
suspended from the saddle. The
Wreck staring curiously, also had
time to note that there were two
guns at the belt of the rider. Then
the black horse drummed on, out of
sight.
"Doggonew said the Wreck
aloud, as he stepped from behind
his spruce shelter and stared down
the trail.
The rider was Bob Wells, the
sheriff. z
Not long did the Wreck stand III
dismayed consideration of his dis.
covery. He clenched his fists and
set off at dog trot toward the
ranch house in the wake OF the black
horse.
The obvious thing to do was to
get back to the house as rapidly as
possible, and he was doing it. There
was Sally to be warned, if ever he
got there in time. He groaned as
he thought of Sally suddenly con
fronted by the sheriff.
The Wreck found himself run
ming with steadiness that sur
prised him. He did not try to
sprint. He could not overtake the
black horse, anyhow, and thera
would be nothing to gain if he did.
Not being able to guess just how far
he had walked, he conserved hin
self. Step after step he plugged
away slowing bit on the p-grades,
letting himself out on the down,
grades, and fighting hard for his
second wind. The main thing was
to get there as soon as he could
After that it would be time to see
what there was to be done about
Bob Wells.
When the trail emerged at last
from the spruce he came to a halt,
painting sharply as he stared in the
direction of the ranch buildings. The
land was open all the rest of tic
way to the house, and there was no
concealment, if he needed any, SO
