CHAPTER XI (Continued).
The precaution was Justified. 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.

"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

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

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

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
