After fifteen-twenty the speedometer record roae rapidly '?> thirty-five, forty, forty-five, fifty ; and In a hurat of triumph waa about to center on alxty before the gradual ease-down, when the ears of little Jennie Bates. her eyes glued to the smooth, open expanse and the red light, still some way uhead of her, were split open by a shrill whistle. A leun. capable brown hand rose from the handle bars of a police motorcycle ul her aide In tlie gesture of the unmlstakuhle-r-stop I Jennie Bales was late for dinner of an April evening or she would not liuve tried speeding because she had plainly seen the motorcycle In front of the police booth. Ah. well; luck could not be hers all her life. So she made u little shrugging gesture with her dainty shoulders, shoved on the brhkes a bit harder, stopped, and looked up at handsome Danny O'Nell, as his mutes called him; some In envy, most of them In friendliness. As for Danny, tlie remark of the grizzled sergeant In the booth when they had spied Jennie ulrplanlng by. still burned Ids shapely ears. It was; "There's that rosy-cheeked speed baby goln' by for tin- tenth time this month. You always watch tier out a sight with a lost look In your eyes.

All of which explains the sudden dash of Danny O'Nell. the whistle, ^Jenny's resigned shrug, and the perfect curb mooring to which she brought the powerful roadster her dad had given her for a birthday present. Thus the conversation: "I'm sorry, Miss; but I'll have to give you n ticket. I suppose I'm expected to say: 'Whndja think y'are? the Twentieth Century Limited?hand over that license!' and snrtrl and show my teeth. That's what fiction and the newspapers demand of us.

She delved effi"oleirtly In the pocket of the door by her side and obediently held forth the requested documents-. His quiet, wellr,bre&jdlcHan; his reference to reading; above all, his clean, classic good looks; they appealed, tugged at her heart. For several minutes he scribbled out the ticket.

"And I'll be there looking for you." Danny O'Nell thrust a hastily scribbled card in her hand, the suggestion of a blush on his features; and Jenny drove uptown while he cycled back to the booth.
