On tho moFt dreaded angle of the course came the well-known explosion. Im mediately followed by a second from the opposite wheel, the Mercury top pled perilously. Floyd was leaning over the tack, ur, trapplng the extra tires, before Stan ton had brought the car to a standstill. The, two men were out on the ground together, dragging forth tools. Ringed about by pushing, exclaiming specta tors, they worked with quick precision, wasting no time In speech. Dust wrapped, two big cars sped by them, th red one hanging doggedly at the flank of the white. "George thinks he's wlncln'," lisped Floyd mockingly. "But he Isn't goln' to: we are." Stanton was on his feet again. "In with the tools." he directed, with brevity. But the blue-black eyes and gray exchanged one smiling glance beore the Mercury sprang forward. The race began its third hour, as Stanton started out to regain his lost lead. It was noon, a dazzling, breath less coon of azure and gold. Down past the grand-stand with Its hearing xpanse of color and movement they wept again, the Joyous applause com ing to them across the roar of their own motor, and on between the walls of people Into the quieter back stretch In pursuit of their rivals. There was a bridge, back there, across a shallow running brook shut In t7 a strip of autumn-tinted woodland. - "Car ahead!" Floyd cried suddenly, as they rushed around a curve and bore down on the crossing. "Lock out Stanton " In the center of the bridge was a reeling, staggering car, coming to a halt and striving to maintain its equi librium meanwhile. The chain bad broken loose, its driver afterward ex plained, and was lashing the under mechanism to scrap metal. Seeing too late to stop his own machine. Stanton took the only chance of saving any of th four lives and tried to twist past the other car on the narrow bridge. Only a master-driver would have at tempted the feat; Stanton carried it to tie verge of success. They were along side, passing, when the edge of the wooden bridge gave way under the double strain. There was the rip of splintering planks, as the Mercury's outside wheels crushed through the flooring, a shuddering lurch. "Jump!" Stanton shouted his vain command to Floyd, as they went down. The cool water lapped around his fingers, trickled reviving! across tls Intolerably painful arm. gurgling like a Joyous voice as it passed by him Slowly, with Infinite effort, Stanton dragged himself up upon the other arm, the uninjured right. He must see: that was the imperious cry of brain and heart, to see. It seemed to Mm years ago that the Mercury had gone off the bridge, yet be knew the time could be but moments, since the ambulance bad not come and he was still here. His vision was clearing. Yes; there, half In the dainty brook, half on the green bank, lay the heap of bent and broken metal that had been the Mercury racing car. And beside It When he drove back the falntness that blackened the bright noon, Stan ton began to drag his pain-racked body toward what lay beside the Mer cury. Movement hurt, hurt unbear ably, yet w-as a less anguish than thought. For be knew, knew the mechanician seldom escapes. Floyd lay near the machine, on marred to outward view except for a cut over hla temple and a stain of blood on his lips. His mask and cap were gone, one band w as flung out. palm up ward, and the torn sleeve left tare the slim arm crossed by the zigzag scar gained at Lowell. He looked very young and strangely grave, as the sun light and tree-shadows flickered back and forth across his colorless face and shining bronze wares of balr. "Floyd," Stanton articulated hoarse ly. "Floyd!" The brook gurgled cheerfully, a be lated oriole flashed past a streak of flame. Stanton's bead sank back down against bis mechanician's Inert hand, and the world fell out of knowl edge. j CHAPTER XII. Jess. It was two weeks later when Ralph Stanton first reopened conscious eyes, this time upon the Immaculate dreari ness of a hospital room. A linen clad purse stood beside blm, and at the foot of the bed was a gentleman un mistakably medical. , "Better, Mr. Stanton T" queried the "A1 S')LEANOKM. n 1NG; Urn Hpn& rlxttoy "etc. V ft y u ,, em.u ilesur latter, breezily professional. "Floyd T" Stanton whispered, with difficulty. "Where la Jes Floyd V The doctor surveyed hlra oddly, hes itating. But the nurse stooped over htm, her expression altering to Impul sive compassion. "Well, very well," she assured hasti ly. "Jes Floyd has gone home. Try to rest: try not to think of things." He had known the truth before he asked the question. Stanton quietly turned his face to the wall and faint ed, being very weak. In his next conscious Interval, he put another demand. "Miss Floyd? She Is aliver "Yes, oh yes." the nurse heartily af firmed. "Yes. Indeed." Once more Stanton turned to the wall. Jessica had not died when Jet did, then, according to her prediction; the tie of kinship had not held so far. She was in the little apartment, alone. Later In the night his steady, silent gaze drew the attendant to his side. "What Is it? You are suffering more?" "Ask her to stop singing." he begged. "It wasn't my fault. Ask her to stop." The nurse took a glass from the table. "There Is no one singing. Mr. Stan ton, no one at all. Drink this." "No one? Not out there In the dark?" "No." He averted his gaze, and remained mute, unprotestlng. After that he never lost memory again; not even in sleep, for he dreamed. Day and night, hour after hour. Jessica s mo notonous song beat through his sick brain. "Oft. In tha stilly night" His eights were not still, always hen he closed his eyes he heard some one sobbing, Jessica Floyd weep ing for her brother. But gradually the last traces of de lirium faded out. Slowly his superb health reasserted Its dominion and brought Stanton back to normal life. The fractured bones knit, the other injuries healed. He never spoke Floyd's name a see Stanton Surveyed Him With Blank Non-Recognltlon. ond time. Nor did any one mention It to him. The head of the Mercury Company came out from New York to see him and express cordial sympathy. George, who had driven the Duplex to victory after the Mercury' wreck, came to visit blm more than once, a blonde, cheery presence; as did the driver of the machine on tha bridge who owned bis own life to Stanton's cool fearlessness and skill. Mr. Green brought bis fussy condolence. But none of them alluded to Jes Floyd. There was a curious constraint that marked them all, an air of watch fully keeping silent upon some sub ject constantly present In their minds. Stanton looked them through and First of Ahimal Hospitals More Than 2,000 Years Age One Wss Established In India, 6ays sn Authority. The New York women who bare opened a free animal dispensary In this city are regarded as pioneers in a good work. As a matter of fact one must go to the Orient and look back more than 2,000 years to find tbe first animal hospital known. Tbe famous Buddhist emperor of In dia, Asoka, whose long reign from 264 to 227 B. C. abounded In many good works, was probably the earliest to establish a hospital for the treatment of animals, says Our Dumb Animals. Asoka was a true humanitarian as well as a most powerful sovereign and although ruling a vast domain be came deeply Impressed by the horrors of warfare. H gave up hla desire for conquest and the rock Inscriptions, which are still extant, record such beneficent edicts of his sa the counseling of planting shade trees, the digging of wells, sending out of missionaries, ap pointment of special officers to super through with his hollow blue-bias yes, and asked nothing. It was two months before he oould leave the hospital Winter had shut in, raw and bleak. The day fixed for bis departure, the doctor linger! l bidding him good by. "1 bare not wanted you to be wor ried. Mr. Stanton," he said bruakly "Not on any account. But front the fact that your first question was 'Jes Floyd T I Imagine you feel some re sponsibility In that matter. May I ask where you are going?" Before the spoken name Stanton winced, but steadily met the other's Inquisitive eyes. "To Miss Floyd," he responded. The doctor held out a hearty hand. "Good. I was sure of It I A patient shows a lot of his character to his physician. Good luck to you ell kinds." How did he know of unprotected Jes sica Floyd? Stanton wearily pondered the question as he descended to the carriage. Or rather, how did he know of Stanton's feeling of responsibility toward her? The mechanician was supposed to take his chance with the driver. Perhaps delirium had revealed the close bond of friendship between Floyd and himself. At the railroad station, a tall young man approached him, as the train whistled In the distance. "My name Is Richards," he an nounced diffidently. "You're hardly on your feet yet. Mr. Stanton; If there Is anything I can do for you on the trip Into the city. I'd be glad." Stanton surveyed him with blank non-recognition. You don't remember me?" the young man tried again. "Have you forgotten the cub reporter who fol lowed you on the afternoon you were arrested for speeding your machine In Pel ham Parkway? You let your com panion give me the story." Stanton put out his hand, the poign ant memory unendurable. "Yes, yes. What of It?" "It gave me my start. It meant a big life for me; and I didn't forget ft I made the accounts of the accident at the Cup race as easy for Miss Floyd as I could, when they came out There was bound to be some sensational' Ism." "Thank you," Stanton ma le brief ac knowledgment "There Is nothing that you can do for me." The train was hissing st the plat form, but the reporter pursued him a step farther. "You. you'll look after Miss Floyd, Mr. Stanton? That's square?" The driver turned an amazed resent ful glance upon his questioner, his hand on the rail. But. hardly aware why, he answered, however glacially. "Yes. sir." The reporter beamed at him, radiant "I knew it," he called, above the roar and clan of the starting train. "I knew it was all right" A dull gray sky arched above a snow-patched landscape, flurries of snow were In the harsh air. Stanton sat with unseeing eyes directed out the window, chin In hand, much as he had found Floyd sitting In the west bound train the night they started fr Indianapolis. September sunlight Oo tober crimson and gold, all gone. A delicate fragrance drifted around blm. there was the frou-frou of soft garments as some one took the seat facing him. Stanton looked up, and saw Valerie Carlisle opposite, her blond fairness framed In dark vel vets and furs, her amber eyes regard ing blm from beneath the shadow of her wide plumed hat (TO BE CONTINUED.) vise charities, the establishing of hoe pltals for human kind and animals. It Is of interest to know that the last remaining of Asoka's hospitals was devoted to animals. It covered twenty-five acres and was divided Into proper wards snd courts for the ac commodation of the patients. When an animal was sick or Injured It master bad only to bring It to the hos pital, where It was cared for without regard to the caste of Its owner, and where, If necessary. It found an asy lum In old aye. Where Thoughts Are Voiced. "What we want Is freedom of speech!"

Dig. soft, draped velvet or plush crowns on the Tain O'Shanter order are seen In both large and medium sized hats, and among tho Innumer able black and wliito models offered for "first hnts" there are many whose liKMly draped crowns are of white satin, while tlm brims are of black velvet or blin k satin beaver. Thena black and white hats are le gion, particularly among the small, sc-ml tailored hats, and there Is lit tle that Is new in shape among them. The lines follow very closely those of the summer small hats, and originality Is obtained only by some novelty In the fancy feather or bow of cockade with which the shape is trimmed. Some of the small soft bats of this comfortable and practical sort are in charming colors, soft old reds, for ex ample, and lovely tones of brown and yellow. Oue extremely good looking Imported model with round crown snd close rolling brim was In chamois col or beaver, soft and pliable as velvet. Tbe brim was faced with dark brown velvet, and, oddly enough, but most effectively, the. trimming was a slight ly draped bands of thick, soft smoky gray silk embroidered In dull gold. The color scheme sounds unattractive. but on the contrary was exceedingly successful. Dark Blue Continues Popular. Dark blue l:i a popular millinery color, as it has been during the sum mer, and Is frequently combined with white, after the fashion of tho black and white models, or Is relieved by a lighter vivid blue, or some one of tbe vieux rou go tones.
