CHAPTER XI (Continued).
Tho assistant manncer stared In A
reproach touched with hysteria. Hla

. tho other.
"It Isn't dinner, It's tupror." cor
rected his mechanician. "This Is the
country and you had your dinner at
noon. But I'll come, anyhow."
At tho table In tho courao of tho
meal, a small tea pot was set before
Stanton.
"Chocolate, sir." ho waa apprised.
"Why. you had none at luncheon 1
Tho pompndoured waitress giggled.
"No, sir. ll.it tho gentleman sent a
boy after some and came down and
saw tho cook, and cook's that fond of
nonsense, an J sbo fifty-four next De

Stanton looked serosa Info Floyd'a
mirthful gray eyes.
"I hadn't anything better to do,"
waa tho malicious explanation. "And
I waa afraid your nerves would go to
places if you didn't get your usual
drug and then you'd wreck na to-morrow."
"He'd coax a bird off a troo. air,"
Uttered tha departing maid.
"Give mo your cup and have aomo."
Stanton briefly commanded.
"Going to throw it at me. liko you
did that ug of water on tho first night
wo raced together?" teamed hla com
panion, obeying.
Stanton's head lifted slightly, tho re
gard In which he enveloped Floyd waa
almost savage In Its leap of Intense
and tenacious passion. Such a glance
from man to woman would have been
a declaration, from man to man it waa
not a thing to bo vojeed. Floyd him
self faltered before It, startled Into
pallor.
"You can throw it at mo, If you like,
and square up," was all Stanton aald.
and reached for the sugar-bowl with
bis customary nonchalance.
"Thanks; It's boiling. I gueea I
won't," Floyd acknowledged. But ho
did not look at the other, and his
manner was troubled.
The meal was ended and the even
ing had commenced, when A telegram
camo In from New York.
"Car marked Ruby Co. consigned to
Mercury Co. Coney Island, loft hero
last night "
Mr. Green uttered a howl and felt
for the telephone.
"They've shipped the car to Coney
Island Instead of to Long Branch." ho
raged. "The tires must bo out at the
Beach track, or near It"
"Don't telephone; end eome one
out there to get them," advised Stan
ten practically.
"I've got to bo here, and I can't get
our New York men In time, now."
"Well. I'll go. then. Coney Island
has got to be raked fine and tho Urea
brought hero as soon aa they are
found."
"You? You? Traveling and wear
ing youreelf out on the eve of A gruel
ling race? No. Go to bed and get your
rest., pleaue, Stanton. I'll send some
ono."
Stanton did not go to bed, but ho
went Into the hotel room acrosa tbo
ball and played billiards with three
of bis fellow-drivers. Ho waa less for
bidding, less caustic of speech than
formerly. Floyd bad taught him tho
art of companionship. Before tho
game ended, tho four players found
themselves very good company and
drank a good night In Apolllnaris, to
tbo landlord's Bacchic disgust.
About ten o'clock. Stanton looked
Into tbo apartment where Mr. Green
sat between the telegraph operator
And tho telephone.
"Where Is Floyd?" ho casually
wondered.
"Hello, hello no, hold tbo wire.
What la It? Floyd? Oh, he's gone to
Coney Island. Hello, yes wrong
number."
"To Coney Island! Tou sent him?"
"Ho offered to go," Mr. Croon
Jerkily Imparted. "Please go to bod,
won't you? Floyd can take caro of
himself. I should think, and ho has
had a two weeks' rest to get ready for
this."
"What do you mean? Ha baa been
working at the factory or with you
over since wo cam back from Indian
apolis." In a nervous exasperation tbo assist
ant manatrer whirled hla chair around.
"He bad a two weeks' vacation," bo
reiterated croasly. "He told mo that
ho waa g'.lng off by hlintvilf for a quiet

about 1L Hel!o-4i4 "
Stanton paused for a moment, dumb,
then turned on bis heel and went out.
Ho waa so stunned and bitterly an
gered that little red flecks danced be
fore hla vision. Floyd had lied to blra,
systematically deceived him; In order
to eacapo from bis too pressing friend
ship, no doubt He remembered that
the mechanician had always shrunk
from his personal advances and only
yielded to them under compulsion.
Now he understood the letter which
ho had received the previous nlitht
from Oreen, and Mr. Bailey's confused
answer to his question about Floyd.
Ho had been put off to be amused by
Jessica, until Floyd was acaln ready
to use him In tho plans for tho Comet
factory. Jessica! Stanton etopped
short In the dark ball. Had Jesalca
also deceived him? Was she too play
ing a part in order to keep hlra In a
good humor? He struck bis clenched
band violently against tho wall beside
him.
"What'a that?" cried tho affrighted
Mr. Oreen, within tho room. "Who "
"I ran against tho wall. In tho dark."
Stanton called, his voice a little
hoarae, but evenly controlled. "Good
night"
"Good night We'll fix thing All
right, Stanton; you take a good sleep."
"I shall," promised tho driver.
Ho did not

wiped his forehead. "Don't you want
to come out to the course, after you
finish here? Floyd Is due on the train
which arrives In fifteen minutes. If ho
isn't smothered by the crowd. I never
saw such a mob of people; they have
been coming since dawn; all night. In

Well." the asxlKtant manager re
sumed, and paused.
The pompstloured waltreaa was
leaning between tbem, placing A tea
pot on the table.
"Chccolate. sir." she giggled.
Stanton ptirhed hark his cbalr, then
checked himself as sharply.
"No," be alated. and set tho pot
away from before him.
The movement wns not violent, but
there was In It so much poorly re
strained force that tho china vessel
shattered upon rtrlklng the table and
all the fragrant brown liquid ran over
tho white cloth. The girl exclaimed In
dismay. Mr. Green eta red; Stanton
only dropped a dollar bill beside his
plate and rose to go.

That Official Records May Bo

In France, as In some other coun
tries, every citizen has an official his
tory. Not aa varied ami Interesting

quaint consequences. If a woman la

Consider the rase of the pslnter
who went fishing on Anihle bay. He

ono man who went with blm was
washed ashore lifeless. You would
call this tolerably convincing proof
that hla wife had been made a widow.
She thought so and In duo tltno aho
sought to havs It recorded In her of

Wo aro familiar with application to
a court of Justice for leave a pro

A tinge of scarlet streaked Floyd's

Stanton'a gauntleted band closed on

"You mean"
Floyd held out his hand.
"I've got everything badly mixed op.
but It's clean to offer you, Stanton.
As awlftlv Impulsive as his condem

Both of you?"
From his rlace hetltle Stanton.
Floyd turned a face of Incarnate sun

so changed In its color and glow and
warmth thnt all who saw drew breath
In sheer wonder
"We're ready." his lilting tones as
sured. "Ilon't worry."
Stanton laughed with blm, fastening
on the mk. and sent the Mercury
rolling forward. The world waa right
once more, and life sane.
It waa an exquisite morning; wind
less. cool, with happy little effects of
snowy cloud sgalnst a cobalt blue
sky. The October sir wss a summer
distilled cordial, an ethereal Intoxi

tice It. yet the effect was there. The
speed made on the first laps waa rec

The brown or gray streak of road
ahead, the deadly turns, the treacher

easy to make eneed and still mora
easy to meet disaster for tbo first

from these. Moreover, the spectators
were mnssed over the course In many
places, recoiling Juit enough to lesvo
a lane for each car s psssngs, and (
Imposing another anxiety upon the
drivers who knew the swerve of a foot
must bring denth to some ono.
"Car behind." Floyd's clear accents
gave the familiar cautions, from tlm
to time. "He's tryln to get us before
the turn. Tbo Atalanta'a head In tb

The pace maintained was the fastest
at which the Mercury could be held tc

the lead first, when puSMlble. the!

race were too short to permit such

at the end of the second hour Floyd

they shot past tho grand stand and the
bulletin boards.
"We're lesdln'. The t'res have beep

Stanton moved his head affirmative

advice, ho did take tho turns mors
