I "Nor It wouldn't be of any Importance [ if we were, but we are not. I'm not t asking you why you are working with , your hands Instead of your head, and , I suppose you nre not asking me. Who i cares?" r "No one," dryly agreed Stanton. . "Hut I can tell you that I am doing this to make money, and make it quick, and I would much prefer break ! Ing my neck to living in the ruck of poverty. They are calling our train; . you had better come." . i "I'm supposed to keep in touch with Mr. (trcen," Floyd observed, , gathering up his magazine with cheerful nonchalance. "He Is worrying about me most of the time, for fear I'll lose my nerve and desert." Which was not precisely what was worrying the assistant manager of the Mercury company, and perhaps Stanton of tlie rough temper knew it. "I fancy your nerve will hold out. If your pntienoo docs." was his reply. "Patience is supposed to be a woman's art." doubted Floyd. "Hut I'll try to acquire It." Stanton laughed briefly. "I wouldn't give much for your chance of success, in that case. If I | ever And a woman who will ride with me as you no, 1 win?marry her." "Oh, no, you will not," contradicted the other, searching his pockets for a missing glove. "You will marry a Fluffy Ruffles who will faint if you exceed the eight-mile an-liour speed limit. And th< n you will quit raci-ig and he spoiled for the Mercury Company, and all its rival manufacturers I will chant for joy: 'A young man mar| ried is a young many marred."" It was so long since any one had cared to talk nonsense to Stanton, not to mention airily teasing him. that he caught his breath in sh^er astonishment. And then a tingling, human warmth and sense of comradeship succeeded. It was as if lie had j been living in a lonely, silent room, when unexpectedly some one opened the door and entered. "I'm too busy," he retorted only, but his tone conveyed no rebuke. They walked on down the room and out Into the train shed. They wore almost at the train itself, when Floyd stopped. "Some one is calling you." he signl, lied. Htnnton turned, nnd found a panting, black-gowned young woman behind him. .?iy imsiress nauo mo ask you to wait, sir," she apologized. "Your mistress?" She stepped aside, and ho saw a tall, fair-haired girl, gowned with finished richness in a motor costume of paleIan silk, who advanced with leisurely . grace toward them, i ) "Miss Carlisle, sir," supplemented the maid. 1 i "There is no need foe you to go," Stanton checked, as Floyd moved to continue on his way, "Stay here." He was obeyed without comment. j The maid respectfully withdrew a few | paces, when her mistress came up. k "What a place to meet a man of I gnsolene!" greeted Valerie Carlisle, I I in her low, assured tones. "Or arc you ' . also In distress, Mr. Stanton, and I forced to prosaic train travel?" Her manner was that of one meetI Ing an ordinary acquaintance, she held I out her hand. In its miniature tnn gauntlet, with perfect ease. No one could have guessed how unconventional and slight hud been their Introp ductlon. t "I am going to Massachusetts," Stanton answered as composedly. "To Massachusetts? Hut so are . we! At least, we had everything arranged to motor out to our country- 1 , place, until twenty minutes ago our j chauffeur wns taken violently til. ^ Now 1 suppose we must go by train?" she broke the sentence, her large brown eyes sweeping Floyd with a deliberate question and scrutiny. "Miss Carlisle, Mr. Floyd, whom you ^ saw beside be for many hours nt the j Heach motordromo." Stnnton made the , presentation. Her face cleared swiftly, he' could { have said It was relief which shot across her expression. ( "Your mechanician? Is It-possible? You also are going to Lowell, Mr. . Floyd?" "Yes, since my next work Is there," Floyd replied, unsmiling and laconic. It was evident he and Miss Carlisle disliked each other at sight. She turned from him indifferently. "Mr. Stanton. 1 am going to make you a selfish Invitation. Our place is about seventy-five miles from New York; will you not try our new motor car and give me the honor of being driven there by you? You could go on to'Lowell with us to-morrow morning. or, if you insisted, finish the Journey by train nfter dinner." Amazed, Stanton looked at her. Once again he mentally asked himself what she could want of him. "Thank you; 1 have arranged to take this train." he declined. "Decidedly?" "Decidedly, Miss Cari'slc." She bent her head, patting her small tan shoe on the platform. She was even more handsome than his night glimpse of her had shown, with an lvory-tlnted, cultivated beauty whose one defeet was coldness. "Of course, 1 can not urge you." she slowly rejoined. "But stroll back to the depot with me. pray; I had something to say." "My train," he began. "Is my trnin also, since you will not take me in the motor-car. We have time enough; 1 inquired of the conductor, a moment ago." Floyd bowed and stcpj>ed aboard the train, leaving the two to walk i back together, followed by the maid. "I wanted to ask you of the race," Miss Carlisle said, when they were quite at the end of the long platform. The speech remained unfinished. There was a shouted order, the cough of the locomotive mingled with the ring and jangle of tightening couplings, and the Lowell express pulled out of the shed. Stanton wheeled with an ejaculation, but halted without attempting useless pursuit. "How very unfortunate!" murmured Miss Carlisle, putting aside her tan silk veils. "How very stupid of ?he conductor!" Stanton turned from the departing train to the tranquilly regretful girl, his straight dark brows knitting. For the instant he could have h^on certain that she had done this intentionally and by a pre-arranged plan Hut at once reason reclaimed him; lie recalled hr?r breeding, her father's high position and wealth, her composed worldllnets, and ridiculed himself. "Since 1 have made you miss your train, and missed my own, I can only repeat my former suggestion," she added, as he did not speak. "Wliv should you not come with my fa the: and me in our car? it is only a tlitee or four hour trip, and you will lie so ?. <??. , ^'Vl 4 || J /j0t )jP ^ I ^jjp He Drove With a Wise Obi sorry our chauffeur Is 111. so I nm forced to apk you to drive. Of course. If you fear tiring yourself for a race day after tomorrow?" Stanton started to speak, then nb ruptly shrugged nis snouiuers. Alter all, why not? "Thank you," he returned. "I scarcely think a seventy-five mile run will Incapacitate me." "You will come?" Her amber eyea gleamed vividly. "You are too good. Let us find my father and the car. It Is at lea?: a car worthy of you?a better tha.i the Mercury, I confess to thinking." "A foreign machine?" "No, an Atalanta Six. Martha, find papa In the station and ask him to come out to the car." They emerged by a side exit into the noisy, dirty, sunny New York street. "Is it not well designed. well swung?" she challenged. "It is fast on the race track?you know that. Is it not handsome?" She spoke eagerly, with more animation than he had yet seen In her. Stauton ran a careless glance over the big. tan-cotored automobile standing by the curb. "It Is a good car,'* he agreed conservatively; privately he considered It both too high and too heavy lor racing work. "Only that? You say only that? Rut wait, you have not driven it. When papa comes we can Btart." Mr. Carlisle was coming; a spare, nervous gentleman who wore glasses set on a Roman nose, from which they slipped monotonously. He and Stanton had once met at the Mercury office, where one was arranging for a tiro contract, and the other was signing an agreement to drive for the season. They recognized each other now, while Miss Carlisle concisely outlined the situation. "A most astonishing alTair," commented her father.i "Very kind of you. Mr Stanton, indeed. These railroad men are careless. Valeric?" Miss Carlisle declined the invitation 10 truer tne tonneau. "1 shall rido beside Mr. Stnnton." j she announced. "I wish to see expert ' driving at close range, for once." "Ah?" queried Stanton; suddenly the conviction that she had done this purposely flared up anew, and with it Ids anger She would have a racing driver for her chauffeur? Very well. He swung into tne seat. Until they were out of the city, he drove with a wise obedience to traffic regulations. Hut when the country line was reached. Stanton stopped the car. donned a small pair of goggles from his overcoat pocket, and passed his hat back to Mr. Carlisle's care. "1 am sorry I had no time to get into motor clothes." he observed, a little too pleasantly. "Still we will manage." They made the next ten miles in ten minutes, having a fair road. Then rough hills and villages somewhat lowered their pace, it was a dizzying rush through a gale of wind, a bird like cleaving of the summer air, accompanied by the weird howl of the electric horn upon which Stanton kept a tinu r much of the time, a vision of scattering wagons. There was a curious circumstance. Valerie Carlisle literally cowered in her seat, pale, shivering, usually with her eyes shut. Yet she, the imperious demander of her own way, uttered no remonstrance, although faintly crying out once or twice when they slid by some obvious danger of cliff or road. Stanton saw, from the corner of his eye. and speculated as he drove. "Do you think this is safe?" Mr. Carlisle found an opportunity to urge. "I think so, if nothing breaks." Stanton called b.-kck, twisting the car around a load of hay. I /" ) edience to Traffic Regulations. They reached their destination in I two hours and ten minutes. When , they entered the village limits and I the speed, fell to fifteen miles an hour, Mr. Carlisle slowly revived, and i regained his breath and his glasses.

"How do you like the car?" she |asked. Stanton surveyed her. almost surprised into compunction. "It hasn't the Mercury's pull, to be perfectly frank." he answered. "It j a a t rl * * *1 ** ?
