THE RACE OF CAR
NUMBER NINETEEN
A STOKY IX TWO PARTS. '
Part II.
As No. 18 rolled up to the tape
the grand stand burst Into cheering
and clapping of hand. No. 18 was
easily the favorite. It was made by
a famous firm, and had won several
smaller races during the summer and
had made a good showing in France
in the Gordon Bennett Cup Race. Its
driver, Pearson, was skillful and
reckless; and though he habitually
disregarded the rights of other driv
ers, this affected him little with the
public, which sees only resuits and
judge's by them. As he bolted away,
Pearson responded to the applause
With a jaunty wave of a gaunthted
hand.
Nineteen was next. Tin' grand
stand looked on listlessly; she was
the nobody of the race. Jack crank
ed the engine, which started going
with the din of a rapid-fire gun, and
leaped in. Morgan pulled his gog
gles down over his eyes, and sat
tensely waiting, while the starters,
who shared the grand stand’s opin
ion of Nineteen, perfunctorialy
shouted the seconds into ins ears;
“Fifteen—ten—five — four — three
—” he turned his head and had a
glimpse of a smiling figure leaning
over a box railing—“two-—^one —
go!” He let the clulth in slowly,
and th*‘ car moved easily away from
the sib nt grand stand silent save
for one pair of clapping hands. He
shifted to the high gear, the car fair
ly sprang into sprinting speed, and
flashed awa> down the oiled load
and the race that was to mean every
thing or nothing to Morgan was on.

of \elev 11y, To drive this creature of

A little further on, Morgan, him-
celf, had a rear tire purture He
stopped at the next tire station and
had it replaced, and was” starting it
off again, after a loss of three min-
ues, when Pearson came whizzing by.
Morgan set out in grim pursuit and
gradually closed the gap between
them. When thirty yards behind, he
sounded his horn for Pearson to give
him half the road, but Pearson, de
spite the rule that a machine being
overtaken must keep to the right,
held the middle of the course. They
ran so for a mile, then the way
broadened and Morgan vouched his
acolerator. Nineteen responded like
a horse to a whip, darted forward,
swung around Eighteen and again
took the, middle of the road. When
tnoy flafched by the grand stand
Eighteen as a mile behind.
Her third round was done in twen
ty-nine minutes. The grand stand
began to be interested. The fourth
round in the same—a slight cheer
came from the stand. The fifth round
ir the same— a louder cheer. The
sixth round Nineteen came by in
twenty-seven minutes, leading the
next Machine, Pearson’s by more
than half a lap. A roar went up
from the grand stand, so great that
it drowned to Morgan’s ears the ter
rific artillery of his flying car, and
the roar thundered along the parallel
human w-alls through which he sped.
Nineteen had become the favorite.
On on the car sped, increasing her
lead every mile over Eighteen,
which still held secogd place. Near
the end of the ninth roand they saw
Pearaon leu than than a mile ahead
a lead of a lap on Lhelr nearest rival!
“One more round !” Morgan
cried exultantly.
Jack hugged hit left arm.
When they turned Into the straight
stretch that passed the grand stand,
Pearson was but a hundred yards or
two ahead, and a few lengths beyond
was No. 7, hopelessly out ef the race
from an hour's delay, but now run
ning bravely. Pearson, a notorious
player to the grand stand, saw here
a chance for a bit of the spectacular.
\s he and, No. 7 drew up to the
stand he blew for passageway, and
touched his acclerator. His car
sprinted forward, but Pearson, al
ways a reckless driver, cut the curve
of passing too fine; perhaps he had
expected more of the road. The
hub of his right fore wheel smashed
against the left rear wheel of No. 7.
There was an explosion and a crash.
Eighteen skidded to one side from
the impact, and rushed on, unnarm-
ed. Put Seveff,*H wheel splintered,
the end of an axle on the ground,
was left lunging wildly about like a
wounded beast.
Between this disaster and the next
the crowd had time for only a gasp
ing cry of horror. Morgan as grip
ped by the terror instant-away death.
He jerked out the cluth and threw
on the brakes. But there was no
stopping this roaring thunderbolt in
a hundred yards, and no steering
around that crippled, flopping ma
chine ahead. The two cars crashed.
A figure shot over the bonnet of
Nineteen, like a tumbler from his
springboard, and roiled over and ov
er in the road and lay very still.
The two machines seemed to writhe
for an instant, as though in gigau-
tis enmit) ther engines bombarding
muzzle to muzzle. They were sw ung
apart No 7 to become a wreck
acaiust tlie grand stand No. It* to
go lurching forward upon one fore
w In-el and tlie end of an axle, grazing
the prostrate body in the road
The grand stand breathed Thvv

gan m the last thousandth of a see-
i.nd had swerved his machine so that

wph d!re< t impart, a w heel of No 7
The crowd saw that the two men in
No 7 were living, and saw that the
man at the steering wheel of N.lie-
teen still held his seat
Morgan, whose grip on the wheel
and supreme bracing of 'he legs had
saved him from being a caiapultlc
m;sa!e. leaped from the ( ar an 1 ran
hack to w here Jack lay He knelt
Old Jerked off Jacks goggles The
hoy weaklv opened his evet». 'All

In*.
A hand fell on Morgan'* ahoulder
-—a hand in a soiled glove. He look
ed up at a figure that leaned out ov
er the box railing. "You're going to
win!’’ said a choking voice.
His ^aea was tightened—that was
ell.
Jack bounded to his eeat Morgan
let in the clutch. The car moved!
A great cry of relief roee from the
grand stand, and changed to a cheer
as the ear fairly sprang into a leap
ing speed. Theirs was a brave try —
but could man born of woman, and
machine made of man, overcome the
three minutes' lead of Eighteen?
Could they? If man and machine
could, Morgan and Nineteen would.
For the first minute he was full of
fear that the spirit had been knocked
out of her. But her cylinders fired I
with their old regularity; all her
parts ran with their old ease. He;
called from her her best, and she !
gave it loyally. Faster, faster she'
went - swaying, lurching, pulsing'
giantly. The gale of hflf^jaking!
swept over the bonnet and struck her
riders' face like blows. And still
she went faster, as though she had
the infinite speed of flying worlds.
“Ninety miles an hour—if we're
moving at all!” gasped Jack.
Morgan did not answer. He did
not hear. There were only two
things in the world—that ribbon of
oiled road which eyes dared not
leave, this throbbing, whirling ma
chine with its terrlb!**, magnificent,
unconquerable soul of fire.
At the first turn Morgan called
hack her speed -hut not enough. As
she fivw about the curve she skidded
off tho course onto the grassy road
side twas a marvel her tire were
not torn off. but they held and
missed a telephone pole and destruc
tion by a foot. Ja'k suddered, hut
Morgan mur winced held his
statue like stare on the ribbon of
roadway. Sin* swung lun k into the
iioirsv, nnd her spi • d moun’ed an I j
mounted to its height of a minute j
ago, and there Seemed s’ ill more
speed m her and she flung the
n lies behind her like God s fastest

tile' Sight of one' of t lie' tl i ot o I c V c 11 •
pat mlin.e-n brought him to a stop
Without a word, ho snatch' d th'- mo-
torcyclo from the- owner's hands, and
gave* a run and loapod astride it. It
was a high-powered machine, with a
mile-a-minute reputation. Whatever
its best was, it showed that best now.
In a dozen seconds Morgan was a
whizzing speck down the roadway,
the tails of his yellow duatcoat whip
ping the air. The crowd, oblivious
of the cars racing past, stood on its
feet and watched him disappear, and
then counted the minutes till he
should come again. They guessed
what he was going to try to do.
Could he make it in time?—and
would the car run?
Presently the speck, reappeared far
down the roadway—grew larger as it
skimmed toward them—an 1 then
they saw a great hump on Morgan's
back—and then, as he dashed up ’0
the grand stand,-they sa.v that the
hump was a wheel, its tiro i*.dated.
He sprang from the motorcvele, gave
it a push toward its owner, and in
stantly] Jack was unstrapping the
wheel from his back. The next in
stant the two of them were fit tin ? it
to its place.
But before the task was done the
announcer's shout went up, “Car
coming!”—and two minutes later
No. 18 tore by and began its tenth
round. More than another two min
utes were gone ere the last thing was
finished. Then Morgan leaped to his
seat, and Jack began to crank the
engine. Would the engine run? the
grand stand daaked itself. The en
gine answered with a mighty boom-

his eves wen* bloodshot from the
strain of yesterday. He stared at Mr
Peck and at the heap of open letters,
then walked sharply forward.
“Pardon me, sir, I should like to
know what business you have to open
my mail?” he demanded.
Mr. Peck did not reply at once,
and when he did speak did not an
swer the question. Without looking
up he jerked a pudgy thumb toward
the heap of letters that lay on the
desk.
“Thirty-seven orders there,” he
said, gruffly.
"They haven’t had a chance to
come in —there’ll be a hundred to
morrow,” Morgan could not refrain
t»-om answering. “I have twenty with
me.” His face grew sharp again.
“What right, sir. have you in my
mail?” he asked.
Mr. Peck/ again jerked his thumb

“Nomb”
Mr. Peck looked up at the pale
face of the young man.
“None? None? What do you

“You know Mr. Tucker has been
wanting to branch out into the auto

Morgan looked at Miss Peck. She
met his glance with a blush. He
turned back to her father.
“You’ll put up cash?”
“Yes. Nm —how much 0 ”
“Two hundred thousand.”
“One hundred and fifty.”
“Two hundred thousand is Tuck
