RBut pleass don't make so much noise. ‘We have relatives leep— voung girls—whom we do not wish to awaken if we can help it." “Search This Room, Boys;" “We won't wake the babies,” the man returned with a note of jocular- ity in his voice, “if they don't wake up themselves. But your two min- utes are about up. Come, now, open this door.” Both Lillfan and I had been dress- ing frantically, and she gave me a reassuring nod. I walked to the door to open it, and as I did"soI saw her take something hastily from beneath - her plllow and thrust it inte the bodice of her gown., My spirits rose at her action, for 1 knew what the object was, the tiny but deadly silencer pistol which she always carried when she is working on some investigation. A tall man with a powerful torso and fairly good looking, in a rough sort of way, pushed past’ me as T opened the door, and beckoned to two other men, who followed him inte the room. “Did a man run int your rooms just now-—a, young fellow?” the big man glared down at me as he asked the question, and I saw the eyes of his followers darting, rat-like, about the room. T drew myself up indig- nantly. “Indeed, no!” 1 gaid, vehemently, while the remnants of my Puritan conscience were soothed by the re- membrance that I spoke nothing but the truth.

He interrupted her hastily, “I'm not in the business of fright. ening young girls, But I've got to satisfy myself" — stubbornly—‘"that the man I want Is not in there. Stay here, boys.

And it there's no place to swim, take a good shower and rubdown after your exer- clse.” The Adventuresof Raggedydn and Kaggedy Andy by Sdhemy “The Thingum looks &o nice in the new soldier suit which Mr. Mungle made for him with his magle charms!” the magical hobby horse said when' the Thingum put on the nice new euit with gold braid and shoulder straps and everything. ““We must call the Thingum Cap- tain Thingum now!” Raggedy Ann sald. “Because he has a fine hat with feathers in it and silver sword.” “Yes, we muet call him Captain Thingum!” Mrs, Mingle agreed. “And 1 ’spect the wild Zumzee will not fool around us any more while Captain Thingum is with us!” “I will give the Zumzee ever 8o many hard thumps if he dares to re- turn and bother us!” the Thingum said. “Ha! I'd just like to see you do it!" the Zumzee cried as he came walking out of the bushes and up to the porch | where our friends were sitting. The Zumzee, remembering the hard thumps the Thingum had given him before, had borrowed a barrel and was wearing this around his waist. On top of his head he had an fron pot with two holes cut in it so that he could look out of it. Dressed this way, the Zumzee was 80 well protected there was no place the Thingum could thump him now. Of course the Thingum with his new silver sword could whack at the barrel and at the iron pot but this would only dull his new sword. “Aha!"” the Zumzee cried when he saw that Captain Thingum did not know what to do. “I just guess you can’t thump me any more! And now 1T shall push you all from the porch and take Mrs. Mingle's nice cunning little cottage for by very own!” And | the Zumzee began pushing our friends right off the porch. He pushed Raggedy Ann againet Raggedy Andy and Raggedy Andy against the hobby horse and the hob- by horse against Mrs. Mingle and Mrs. Mingle against Mr. Mungle and Mr. Mungle against Captain Thingum, so they all fell from the porch down to the ground just like a row of dom- inoes. Then the Zumzee laughed redl loud and it sounded very queer with his head covered over with the iron pot. “Now the house is mina!” the Zum- zee cried. “And T just guess after this you will not come around here at all!” But the Zumzee did not think of the wonderful magical charm which | Mr. Mungle owned and when the Zumzee laughed with his head Inside the iron pot, he did not know that Mr. Mungle was holding the magic | charm and making a wiah. But in a very short time the Zum- | zess knew that something magical| Gruelle was happening, for hardly had Mr. Mungle made his wish than there was a loud popping and cracking inside the barrel the Zumzee wore around his waist and as the Zumzee hopped up and down and howled smoke came from the barrel and from the iron pot. “Wow!" the Zumzee howled as he hopped from the porch and tore the iron pot from his head and the barrel from around his waist. "I shan’t Smoke came from the barrel and from the iron pot. wear the barrel and the pot with a lot of fire crackers shooting off in- side.” And with ‘his clothes smok- ing, the Zumzee dashed through the bushes toward the brook. And as he went, he could hear Captain Thingum and Mr. Mungle laughing at the fun- ny sight. And while the Zumzee sat in the brook and cooled off, our friends sat upon Mrs. Mingle's front porch and ate lollypop sandwiches, licorice candy, cream puffe and as- sorted candy covered cookles, for all the excitement made them very hun- gry indeed.

L] meres T ] )| Special Shows For Children Each Day, 4:00 p. m—10c ERVOUS WRECK REGIN HERE TODAY ‘Nervous Wreek," an eceentric young easterner, is driving Hally Morgan from her father's ranch to the railroad station when they run out of gaseline, The pcoupants of a passing gar refuse to lend them any, and the Wreck takes five gallons at the point of a gun, Later thoy are held captive at a ranch along the way because the fores man, Charlle MeSween, wants Sally for a cook, They discover that the wealthy New York owner of the ranch, Mp, Underwood, was in the car which they had held up, and that he and his boy and girl are to stay at the ranch for several weeks, At the risk of being recognized, the Wreek waits on the party ' In the dining room and overhears them mag- nifying the story of the robbery, The telephone bell rings, NOW' GO ON WITH THE STORY Got him, The Ves, this is Underwood, you? .« All right, Put him + + + That the sheriff? Great Seott, you're a hard man to get . Never mind, This is Underwood, me? What . « Yes; that's Off in the northeast cormer county, Now listen: “I was hald up last night in my car, About thirty miles from the ranch, I should say. West of it, on the main road; there's only one road. We didn't come here direct; drove around by way of Duncan, The road's better, Had my son and daughter with me, and a driver, Are you getting this . . . “Feur men, Yes; four! Blocked the road with their own car and held us up. We never had a chance, Took watches, valuables, money, What? Took every- thing we had that was worth carrying off, Stole all the gasoline out of our tank and left us flat on the road.

You're what? " There was an inarticulate rumble from the living room, then a boomse ing of the heavy voice, “You're surprised” roared Under- “You didn't think there was anybody working the road over this way? Well, if you're surprised, what do you think I am? Doesn't a property owner get any protection in this county I'm no tourist. 1've got a place here, It you want to know whether I pay any taxes just look up the books. What? . . . Oh, you know about me, do you? Well, I'm damned glad somebody knows about me, Now, the best advice I can give you is to get buay. . . How's that? . “How do I know what " direction they went in? They started east when they left us; that's all I know. I want action—understand? I'll pay any reward and any expenses that are necessary, but I want action, I'm going to find out whether a taxpayer in this county has any protection againsthighwaymen. . . . All right. You're getting on the job at once; is that it? Yes; I'll be here for some time, I'll expect to hear from you without much delay. Your name is Wells, isn't it? . . . All right.” The Wreck, who was pouring cuf- fee for Chester, spilled some into the saucer, but recovered himself, So the sheriff's name was Wells! Jerome Underwood came back into the dining room, wearing the expres- sion of a man who had achieved a stroke of business, “Made It pretty strong, didn't you, suggested his son, with a faint smile, “'Strong? Certainly T did. You don't suppose I wanted to give him the idea that it was a tea party, do you When I've got a hand I play it to the limit. 1 don’t want him loafing on the job. He knows who I am, If h edoesn’t it wont take him long to find out." He made another omelette, “Says he'll get a posse on the road at once. Well, he'd better. A posse! What they need out here is a few New York policemen.” The Wreck, seeing no immediate need of his services, disappeared through the pantry in the direction of the kitchen. He had a quecer Jook; as much a look of triumph as any- thing else. Sally jumped up from a chair by the window and shot a glance of in- quiry at him, “Where are my spectacles?” demanded, “My eyes hurt. She found them and the Wreck be- gan to look like himself again. “Now tell me everything,” ordered, “He's been at the telephone, rais- ing the county against four des- peradoes,” said the Wreok. “He's made «a regular yarn of it by this time, 1 guess they'll hang us for sure, Sally,” 'I"Thfl"d better wait till they catch Get right, of the dive at the he she us. The Wreck contemplated her for a few seconds, He wondered just how she was going to take the news, “He's a good liar; he piled it on. And he pulled all the old stuff about influencs, and how much taxes he pays, and all the New York dope. He made me thank God I came from Pittsburgh.” “Could you get any idea of what's being done about it?" asked Sally with the practical aspects uppermost in her thoughts. “Oh, there's a posse getting on the job,” sald the Wreck, wearily. “A posse,” mused Eally, nodding. “Yes; I'd imagine that. Who did he have on the phone?” “He was talking to the sheriff.” The gheriff. Uh-huh. Well, that means—" Sally stopped and stared at the Wreck. Something had startied her. “What county are we in?"” she de- manded, | cateh me! ZJ Rath, ©1024 -by NEA | He shrugged, He never tried to Keep track of counties and he did not know Rut she read something in his eyes that caused her to eluteh at his arm, “Henry Willlams! He waen't talk. “Yes, he was, That's exaetly who he was talking to," She walked back to the chair hy the windew and sat dewn, suddenly limp, IPor half a minute the Wreeck was unuhble to figure just what sort of reaction she was having, It seemed to him that every possible emotion flashed into her face, one succeeding the other so rapidly that all was a confused blur, And then, with her head tossed back and her eyes wide with merriment, she began to laugh, “Oh!" she gasped, “Oh, Henry, did you ever hear of such a joke? Bob Wella; Bob—out with a posse—to “rn Joke,” said the Wreck, admit it's a eheerfully, “Why, It's a porfect scream! 1 might have known we were in the same county; it's so terribly big. But “HENRY WILLIAMS! HE WASN'T TALKING TO—" I never even thought about it. And now he's got the sheritt—Bob Wells!" She passed into another spasm of laughter while the Wreck watched. Any time they wanted to laugh ahout Bob Wells the Wreck was a willing listener, “I start out for a trousseau, and 1 get turned into a hold-up man, and I'm chased—by Bob Wells!"” “It's great,” he affirmed, solemnly. Then he saw that another change was coming. She was getting con- trol of herself and the laughter was fading, There was a questioning look in her eyes, a chewing of her under lip. “H'm. It's rather at that,” she said, slowly., “T don't know that it's so funny, after all. It complicates things, Bob Wells is an awfully good sheriff. When he Sbes after people he’s a perfect hlood- hound. He got a murderer last year that nohody ever dreamed he could get. And if he should ever find B 8he broke off and plunged into an- other period of reflection. Presently she was frowning, and the Wreck saw that she was clenching her fists. “Henry Williams,” she said, stand- ing up and facing him, “T don’t like it. I don't like it one bit, Bob Wells hasn’t got any business to be chasging me!" The Wreck had never heen able to make anything out of women, and now he knew that he never would, CHAPTER X. The Wreek Fights Sally did not get her emotfons sorted ont and classified in an offlerly manner for the rest of the day. They insisted on mixing “themselves up; they refused to stay where she tried to put them, Ordinarily she was of a temperament quite serens and obedient to her will, except, of course, embarfassing a frisky steer, Even on those occa- sions her departure from a normal calm was brief and largely superficial. But the news that Sheriff Bob Wells was going out with a posse upset her poise; it struck deeper, and affected her in so many different ways that she seemed to be spinning like a wenather vane in a whirlwind. She laughed, she was serious; she was scornful, she was angry, she was incredulous, she was alarmed—all these and other moods took posses- sion of her, one giving way to an- other, only to come back and repeat Itself after a while, 8o that the final gsult was to leave her in a very un- rtain state of mind, It did not help her that the Wreck seemed to be singularly unmoved by the news. He treated it as if it were a matter of small consequence, But Sally was not in the habit of steady- ing herself by leaning on Henry Wil- liams; she could only account for his calmness by attributing it to a fail- ure to realize the situation, Ha did not know what it meant to have a Montana sheriff and a posse hard on his heels, but Sally did. Even at that, she did not believe they would be caught. Surely, she told herself, there would be a way out of things. Tt was not pursuit and possible capture that disturbed her and awakened every absurdly flicting emotion that lay within her; It was the fact that Bob Wells wae the instrument of the Jlaw, That jarred her in a most illogical but effective fashion. Any other sheriff might do his duty without protest from Sally; but Bob Wells—why did he go and run for sheriff, anyhow? He had plenty of other things to keep him busy. If he had not hustied around and got himself electad sheriff, he conld have ridden over to tha rail- road with her and she would have been on the train long ago. It was a fool trick for him to get into poli- tics, thought Sally. (Continued in Our Next Issue) when the Wreck charged into it like | con- | ECZEMA IN WATERY PIMPLES Itched Incessantly.
