"No," conceded Stanton, grudgingly

"Well, If that Is all"
Stanton turned hia back upon tbe
speaker, rcklessly and blindly angry.
past all reasoning.
When the brief operation com
pleted, Floyd sprang up beslda hia
driver for the atart. Stanton surveyed
him through bis goggles,
If you are nervous about my driv

Why are you wasting time here.
then?" countered the mechanician.
practically
The Mercury hurtled viciously down
tbe line of training camps and burst
out on the track like a blazing meteor.
Stanton shifted Into high gear on tbe
curve, and began to drive as ba saw
fit.
Tbe close-packed wltnessea stood
during most of the next hour, alter
nately applauding and ahoutlng dls
may, climbing on seata and benches to
see. The other racers gave tha Mer
cury room on tha turna, after the
Alan car tried to ateal an inside
sweep, and aklddlng, missed destruc
tion through and with Stanton by tbe
narrow margin of a foot.
There waa neither opportunity nor
wish for speech between tbe two who
rode the verge of death on tbe Mer
cury. Floyd attended ateadily to his
duties; pumping oil, brushing tbe yel
low trackdust from the pilot s goggles
to clear his vision for each turn,
watching the tires and the other ma
chlnea. But be made no protest at the
deadly methods of hia companion,
Near th. end of the eecond hour.
th. scream of the klaxon sounded it
significant warning of trouble.
It's us lamps out," called the me
chanician, after a comprehensive re
view of their machine.
Stanton shook his head Impatiently,
and kept on; deliberately passing the
paddock gate instead of turning In.
As tbey shot by the grand stand for
the second time, the klaxon aouaded
gain, long and Imperiously.
'Goln' to fight the Judges?" lisped
Floyd, with careful politeness.
Tbe driver did not speak or glance
from the funnel-effect of light and
dark Into which they were boring, but
the catch of hia breath wa not gen
tle. However, be awung Into the pad
dock, on the next circuit, and halted
a brief Instant to have the lamp re
lighted. Familiar with hi usual
wants, a man ran bringing a pitcher
of water to Scauton; who swallowed a
little, then pushed the vessel ao rough
ly toward hia mechanician that some
of tha liquid splashed over the recipi
ent and trickled down upon tbem both.
"Heie." he offered curtly.
"Thanks Floyd accepted. and
drank as tbey bounded forward, toss
ing the tin pitcher back over his
shoulder, where a reporter gathered
it up and sat upon a keg of oil to writ,
a pretty account of the volunteer me
chanician who bad made the Mer
cury' entry possible and of the conse
quent regard of Stanton for him.
The next hour passed a trifle mora
quietly. Perhaps even Stanton wss
sufficiently tired by the strain to drive
with seme conservatism; perhaps ba
acknowledged mentally that no car
built would atand auch viciously gru
eling work for twenty-four consecutive
hours. But ba kept the lead gained,
for all that, and a paca like tha long
swoop of a swallow.
"Car coming out of tha paddock.
Hundred and eightieth lap. Car

ported, at Intervale. Otherwise there
waa mute attention to business on tha
part of both men.
"Signal," Stanton abruptly ordered,
at last, aa tbey rushed across the
stretch of track between th grand
stand and the training campa.
Floyd obediently rose In hia place,

men swarmed around to fill tanka and
give awift Inspection, and the fretting
car sped back to the track.
Left opposite each other In tbe flick
ering glare of tha swinging electric
lamps, driver and mechanician stood
for a moment, weary, car stiff, and
still tense. Stanton unclasped his
mask with a Jerk, took a atep toward
the tent, then turned toward hia as
sistant "The three hours- are up." be ob
served roughly. "I suppose you leave
me."
"Why do you suppose that? Are
you through with me?" Floyd asked,
with studied quietness.
"I made the offer to any man who
would go for the first three hours.
Th. tlm. Is up; you're free to get
your money from Mr. Green, and
leave."
Floyd took off hi own mask and
bared bla white, ateadfaat face and
tired eyea to tha other' gaze.
"I entered for the race, or for a
much of It aa you want me," ha cor
rected. "Until you quit, or find a sub
stitute you Ilk. better, I'm with you."
They looked at each other.
"Go reat, then. There la coffe In

heel.
At tbe entrance to bla tent he waa

She deliberately rtepped down ba

She turned to glance at the car

"Thank you. Can you tell me

"No," be answered. Interested for

Two hours later, Stanton emerged
from hia camp and strolled toward
the paddock exit It was after two

of atar-aet sky overhead, tha black
emptiness of the central field except
tor the line of tents, contrasted oddly
with the glistening white track where

many volcea, varied by the occaalonal
wail of tha official klaxon. One ma
