until Chester squirmed. Then he
relieved Sally Of the gun.

The muzzle OF the six-shooter was

Chester drew deep breath.

where It is, I'm going to beat you
to a finish. And If you don't tell

Again Chester made an appeal

Sally.

advised, coldly. Hes mean when
he has a gun in his hands"
Sally, I didn't think"
Don't talk to me. Talk to him. y
Where's the wheel?" repeated
the Wreck.
Chester glanced toward the ranch
house. There was no hope of help
from there, even If he shouted.
And something in the tense figure OF
the Wreck warned him not to shout.

MADE TO
. BRING 1913SPEED
LAW Up TO DATE
State Auto Clerk to Present
Data Before State
Legislature.

Although thirty-five miles an hour
is recognized generally as the speed
limit on country highways in In
diana, law provides a twenty-five
mile limit, according to H. D. Nc
Clelland, chief clerk of the State auto
license registration department.
McCleland, who is studying auto
mobile laws throughout the country
with a view to placing his findings
before the State Legislature next
winter, said he viii suggest that the
Indiana sped law. passed in 1913. be
brought up to date. He wants the
Legislature to codify the automobile
law, passed in 1913 and amended
every other year since.
McClelland said he is not sold
on the idea of an operators license.
Study Of experiments with this law
in other States has not convinced
him, he said, that reduction Of &C
cidents justified the expense.
New measures McCleIand would
incorporate in the State law include
regulation of motor BUSES, authori-
cation Of public service commission
% designate railroad stops" SINH
lar to boulevard stops in cities.
and provisions for safety devices on
BUSES and trucks.
McClelland said he would favor
permanent licenses, II the gasoline
tax should be increased enough to
make revenue from yearly licenses
unnecessary.

CHAPTER XVII
RackIeSSly Thorough

1t was after dark when the Wreck
sneaked his ridiculous little grip out
of the bunk house and carried it
M to the shed where the flivver
stood. He tossed the grip into the
car and placed an unlighted lantern
where he could easily find 1t. Then
he walked back to the kitchen.
Sally was there, pretending to be
busy, but her mind was not on her
task.
go upstairs and throw your
grips out of the window" he said.
"I'H be waiting for EN-"
I've been thinking" said Sally.
Suppose he won't tell?"
He will. But want your gun. -
you've got to be careful, Henry"
"I'n be careful"
She saw that his mood seemed to
be wholly calm, and it treasured
her.
THE gun will be in the small
bag" she said, as she went out Of
the kitchen.
But before she tossed her grips
out Of the window, down into the
shadow where the Wreck stood, she
took the precaution Of emptying the
cylinder of the six-shooter. She was
thinking less about the safety of
Chester Underwood than she was Of
the welfare of the Wreck.
The man who waited in the
shadow picked up the grips as they
thudded on the ground and fastened
away in the direction of the shed.
He had several things to do before
he was ready to recover the missing
front wheel. That would be the
final detail, he decided. He was not
assailed by the smallest doubt that
he would find what he sought.
He went over to the shed where
the big Underwood car was kept
and found a couple Of five-gallon
cans. Two big metal drums, filled
with gasoline, stood outside, and a
hemisphere Of moon supplied light
enough for his work. He filled the
cans and returned with them to the
tool shed, where he flooded the fiiv-
ver's tank to the brim. Then he
made a second trip, ref1lling his cans
and putting their metal tops firmly
in place. This gave him a ten
gallon reserve, which he dashed firm
ly to the running board of the
flivver.

a third trip to the place where
the big, car stood carried him inside
the shed, where he fumbled for a
minute in the semi-darkness. found
something on the work bench and
slipped it into his pocket. @Dutside,
he paused in front of the gasoline
drums and considered the idea of
emptying the remainder of their
contents. He decided it was not
necessary. Back to the tool-shed. he
seated himself on the ground out
side and waited.
It was nearly 10 o'clock. There
were lights upstairs in the ranch

But he wished that Sally would

and he rose softly to his feet. Pres
emily he could see two figures in the
dim light. They were approaching

tense and jumpy. He could \ hear
what Sally was saying.

Chester laughed pleasantly.
"All you've got to do is use little

%Indeed, yes" declared Sally,
heartily. Where did you say you
found the wheel?"
II didn't say" replied Chester,
shrewdly. I'm just going to wait
until 1 see whether somebody else
can find it,"
They were close to the tool-shed.
But wouldn't tell anybody" said
Sally.
Chester laughed again.
Perhaps I'll tell you tomorrow, e"
said Chester.

the shadow in which he had been
standing.

ITALIAN AIRMEN

FIoated on Arctic Waters
Four Days Until Rockets
Were Noticed.

By United Press
ABOARD THE U. S. S. RICH
MOND, Aug. 26-For four days
Lieutenant Locatelli, italian airman,
and his three flying companions
huddled in the she'll of their huge
metal monoplane - unaware OF
American cruisers nearby and wait
Ing for rescuers to take them out
of the storm tossed Arctic waters.
LocateIli and his aides, Lieut..
Tullio Crosie, Bruno Falcinelli and
Giovanni Braccini. today are aboard
the Richmond-saved late Sunday
night when green rockets from the
plane were seen by the crew Of the
Richmond-and are en- route TO
Labrador.
Could See Cruiser
LocatelH was forced down last
Thursday just in front Of the Ameri-
can cruiser Raleigh. The four men
could plainly see the cruiser. but
owing to a heavy fog the crew
aboard the Raleigh could not see the
mishap of the flying plane.
The monoplane was a plaything Of
the waves but the four air1nen re-
fused to give up hope of ultimate
rescue. Every few minutes one Of
the airmen would crawl through the
man-hole onto the swaying water
soaked wings. scanning the empty
seas. Once, unknown to them, the
Richmond passed just out of their
vision, obscured by fog and rain.
From time to time, the aviators
sent up green rockets and one Of
these late Sunday night attracted at
tention Of the crew aboard the
Richmond. A red rocket was sent
up from the ship and an answering
flare came back from the plane.
Lieutenant Marescalchi, a pilot,
who accompanied Locateli part Of
the distance. was on the deck Of the
Richmond when the flares Of the
stranded monoplane were seen. He
dropped to his knees half sobbing
and half praying, murmuring the
name Of Locatelli.
The Richmond trained powerful
searchlights on the monoplane, and
Lieutenant LocatelH could be seen
standing on the bow Of the flying
vessel
The sailors tossed a line to the
crew of the plane and dragged it
beside the Richmond. 1t was bat
tered against the ship and for a time
the four Italians We're in danger.
They stripped the plane Of instru-
ments and clothing. punctured the
gasoline tank and boarded the
Richmond.
Sailors ignited the machine and
cast it adrift. Flames Tapped the
fusilage and the glare lighted the
dark, freezing night.
