ouerors at once set about the task of
raising the car It was impossible
| for them to right it. but after heroic
efforts they managed to lift it clear OF
the ground and hold it up for e. mo-
ment while the girl, trembling with
apprehension, pulled her father from
beneath.
"Dad!' she cried, as she helped him
to his feet. Are you hurt?"
The man raised his hand slowly to
his head. II don't know he fall
tered. My right leg feels bad and
my side hurts
Wed better get him to town to a
doctor at once" said Bill. Bob and
Fed supported the injured man to the
car. while Porky bound his handker-
chief around the girls bleeding arm.
In moment Bob had turned the car
again, and they were speeding toward
Ferriston.
Il don't know what I'd have done
if you hadn't come along" said the
girl. II was driving pretty fast, and
just as rounded that curve and came
to the top of the grade, my headlights
went out. / put on the brakes, but
couldn't see, and we went into the
ditch. I got out all right. but Dad
was thrown under the car as it turned
over"
The girl told them that her name
was Audrey Stinson, and that she lived
in the neighboring town of Fayette.
When Porky introduced the four boys,
Audrey at once recognized them from
having seen them play foot ball against
her own high school.
Bob reached town in record time
and at once took Mr.. Stinson to the
Office of a physician There it was
discovered that he mad wrenched his
knee and cracked rib. but his in
juries were not dangerous.
A wrecking car was dispatched from
a garage to bring in Mr. Stinson's dam
aged roadster, and then Bob insisted
on driving the girl and Mr.. Stinson

same trick" he muttered.
"Of all the nerve, trying to hold
us up twice in one evening"" cried
Red.
Better get down as low as you
can" cautioned Bill. THEY may use
their guns when we go past"
Bob crouched low over the wheel,
and Red and Bill slunlped down in
their seats until they were below the
level of the windows. But Perky, con-
sumed with curiosity, made no effort
10 conceal himself, but leaned forward,
watching the woman in the road.
''Here we goi" cried Bob. With
motor roaring. the car rushed toward
the woman, who hastily jumped aside.
Bob kept his eyes on the road and
drove for all he was worth.
Then suddenly Porky was pounding
his shoulder. stop, Bob!" he cried
Those aren't the bandits. It's a real
maiden in distress. The cars turned
clear over in the ditch!"
"Applesauce!" cried Red. Keep your
head down. you half-wit, if you don't
want it shot of!

broken by the folded edge of the paper.
Really, however e the paper mas nosn-
brings her hand down, she extends her
forefinger along the edge of the paper,
as shown in the sketch, and 1t is this
finger and not the paper which breaks
the match stick. Properly done, the
slight movement necessary to extend
the finger is absolutely indetectable, and
the illusion is perfect. A light pencil
may be broken in the same manner,
but this is somewhat of strain to place
on one tiny finger.

WHEAT PRICES
Corn Holds Better Tone;
Oats Turn to Lower
Trend.

HE Hffff Jffe"
CHICAGO, June 1l.-Liverpool' S
sharp declines in sympathy with the
slump at Chicago Monday brought
further heavy losses in the opening
wheat trade here today. Weather
conditions we're favorable for the
growing crop. Corn held better than
wheat, but only oats we're sharply
lower
At the opening wheat was Z to
Is cents lower. corn was off Il to
2! cent and oats were "A to Is cents
lower. Provisions we're little
changed
While it is believed generally that
the senate will adopt the conference
farm bill, traders are concerned
more as to how the measure will
work out. The size of coming crops,
with no export business in sight,
makes government action about the
only hope for higher prices.
Increased receipts at southern
and southwestern markets, together
with recent trend in wheat, appears
TO be weakening the cash situation
in corn. Weather has turned un~
settled over most of the belt, and
there are numerous complaints of
poor condition due to hasty field
work
Scattered liquidation is tending to
force oats lower with other grains
as there is nothing in the news to
arouse a supporting interest.
