There la nothing at all singular In my being here, Mr. Stanton." she ;at ajd. In her cool. Indolent voice. "Be cause I ascertained by telephone when you Intended to leave the hospital, and sjo arranged to meet 7011 on the train. Tomorrow I start for Europe, to re main for a long time, and It wa nee ?ssary for me to speak with you first I am sorry to see that you hare been frightfully til." "You are too good." be answered, the old antagonism stirring him strong ly. "As you observe. I was not for tunate enough to finish myself com pletely In the late wreck." . "One sometimes feels like that." be coincided. rs.f sing one small gloved band across the soft fur of her mu3. "I have wished for the finish, here lately, for my part Tou probably did not know that I was engaged to marry Archer Ross, of the Atalanta Automo bile Company?" Stanton sat erect All P.oyd's sus picions of this girl rushed back to his mind. "Yes." she confirmed the thought In bis expression. "What you are imagin ing la quite correct I tiled very hard to Induce you to drive for the Atalanta Company Instead of for the Mercury. The Atalanta absolutely required a good racing record. But I failed. You were more than firm in your decision." So that had been what she wanted or blm. That had lain behind ber polished surface of gracious admira tion and had been the core of her In sincerity. "And when I would not drive for your company, you tried to prevent me from driving for my ownT" He wondered Incredulously. She looked at him, and looked away again. "I fancy you would scarcely credit me, Mr. Stanton, If I denied the fact now. I have been very clumsy; a so ciety woman Is sot trained to practical melodrama. You are unbelievably dif ficult to lead." Her flawless self-possession gave an effect of unreality to the whole affair. Stanton felt a Vertigo of the mind. "You had that purpose In Tlew when you first spoke to me at the Beach twenty-four hour race?" ha "questioned. "You hoped to Induce me to wreck my car by fast driving. In order to leave the Atalanta a better chance of winning?" "Oh, no!" she deprecated. "J never tried to cause your wreck what can you think me? No, that waa merely ao Impulsive experiment; I wanted to ee If you would do aa I wished. Some men have done ao." "Are you going to tell me that you drugged me at Lowell, on the eve of the road race?" "Drugged youT That li a harsher description than I ever gave the Inci dent In my own mind. But I poured Into your coffee what Archer Ross had given me for that purpose. He saJd It would not barm you, only prevent you from driving next morning; be had been betting heavily on his car. But you raced, after all. 111 as you must bave been. I never Imagined you would take such a risk, or I should have re fused the responsibility. I disliked the task, anyhow. To be frank, I waa hor ribly frightened when I saw you on the course, and when the report of your accident came in, I felt guilty of assassination." He looked at her, at her Ivory-and-ffold beauty, her composed ease, his own face coldly emotionless. It did oot matter, nothing mattered, Bow. But yet be read that behind that ap parent ease of hers heaved a sea of tormy thoughts; as always, her speech waa do guide to her mind. "I suppose, then, that you would not have been distressed If I bad broken my arm when I cranked your car after driving you home from New York," he commented. Her color changed for the first time, ber eye flashed to his. "You angered me," she retorted. "You brutally told me that you had not raced at the Beach, to please me, nor would you do so. You were super cilious, no man had ever treated me that way before. For one Instant I did bata) and long to hurt you; I pushed op the spark as you cranked. The next moment I would have undone It If I could." There was a pause, as the train halt' d at a station, and the usual flurry of ecreae and Ingress ensued. When the tart'was made: "Why are you telling me thlat" Gtatlton ashed. "I am not considered especially amiable and forgiving, as a rule; why chance unnecessary con fession?" -No," ber Up bent U a faint smile NS .

I am hot much afraid, al though I find myself forced to derend upon your Indulgence. A net waa spread for the feet of the wicked by some one more acute, or lesa Indiffer ent, than the Mercury'a driver. Your mechanician set a private detective at the task of follow inland guarding you until after the Cup race; fearing treachery, I suppose, would be used to prevent your driving. You are sur prised?" He saw the crowded railway station, on the morning of the return from In dianapolis, and Floyd's vivid, anxious face turned to him In the artificial light He heard the fresh young voice: "If you won't take car of yourself. Stanton " There was no need, Mr. Stanton. I had no Idea of Interfering with you personally. But the thing was done. and overdone. The man hired to play detective was not honest; be exceed ed his mission of protection and went on to Investigation for his own profit If I am telling you this. It Is because you would soon hear the story from him, anyhow, and because I want you to silence him. II has offered me his Hence for a price, but I do not choose to yield to a blackmail which, once commenced, would never end. I prefer to ask shelter of your chivalry." "I will slleuce him," he gave cold as surance. You are ery good. It Is not the least of my humiliations to know that you could deal me nothing more con temptuous than your forbearance." She hesitated. "There Is one thing more; I would like to ask whether your recent accident was In any way caused by the late arrival of the tires for your machine." "You did that?" "Yes. I did that I had the express car misdirected before tt left my fa ther's factory In Chicago. I knew your car could not race on bare rims." Stanton turned to the window. So she was responsible for the last harsh ness he had shown Floyd; since their misunderstanding could never have arisen if the mechanician had not been absent on the trip to Coney Is land. His sudden nausea of loathing for her made calm reply difficult "The lost tires had nothing to do with the accident." be explained care fully. "If you have quite finished. Miss Carlisle, I will change to another seat" "It la I who am going. I am g'ad God- Breathed Stanton, Into a Chair. and tank that the wreck and alteration In you are not my fault It may Interest you to learn that Archer Ross broke his engagement to me last week, to marry chorus girl."

I asked at Ober-Lenningen for a thlrd-clas ticket to Owen, and sup posing that I had got what I asked for, stepped Into a thlrd-clas carriage. On these branch lines nearly everyone travel fourth. Before reaching the next tatlon only a mile from Ober Lennlngen, In fact the Inspector ap peared. "Hah!" he said. "You have a rourth-ciass ticket, ana are in a third-class compartment Tb fine 1 six marks." I explained, and offered at once to pass Into a fourth-class carnage or pay the difference In the price of tickets. "That will not do. You bT In fringed the law, and must pay alx marks," the man Insisted. "I get out at Owen, and will explain matter to tb station master," I aald. I did so. "The fin I six marks," said the official, peremptorily. "But, said I, "I demanded a third- class ticket, and was given one for which I had not asked. This was an oversight on the part of the clerk." "You shou'd bave examined your ticket," the station master insisted. Tbe train was delayed five minute while w threshed out the question on tbe platform In great detail, and the other passengers craned their necks out of the window of tb carriage and listened with lively Interest At last, reluctantly, the station aaaater ishment la It not? Tou ran relate Miss Kloyd with the tale. You are oa your way to her, of course." "Miss Carlisle!" She rose, drawing around her the heavy folds of velvet He saw now the faint lines about her delicate mouth and the new hardness of her tawny eyes. She had suffered, was suffering also. "Congratulate her from me. air. Stantou. At least she has known a uian, w hatever It has cost her." Yes, Floyd had played a man's part Whatever the anguish of losing him. It was a matter of congratulation te have know n him. It never occurred to Stanton that Valerie Carlisle might bave meant htm, himself. It was afternoon when Stanton ar rived In New York, among the snow sprinkled, htlurlous crowds that thronged the street a And then be first realised that this was the day be fore Christmas. Christmas? Holiday? With a vague Impulse to escape It all. he hailed a taxicab. A girl with her arms full of holly brushed past hlra aa he reached the curb, a man In uniform stopped htm with a hastily recited plea for aid to the hungry poor. At him Stanton looked, and put a yellow bill In the outstretched hand. Sir!" the man cried, pursuing him with ready book and pencil. "What name? So generous " Floyd." Stanton answered, and stepped tnto the vehicle. The address he gre to the chauf feur was that of the quiet uptown apartment house. The little old Irishwoman clad In black silk opened the door. He fan cied she had aged, but on seeing him she broke into beaming smiles and ushered him In w ith eager welcome. The girl who was like Floyd was standing In the f! relit room. As Stan ton paused on the threshold, she re treated against the window opposite. her fingers winding themselves bard Into the draperies, her marvelous gray eyes wide and fevered. 80 they gated at each other, dumb. "You can not bear to see me?" Stan ton first found voice. "I bave no right to blame you God knows I under stand. Yet Floyd would tell you that it was not my fault I did not throw away his life by recklessness." She gazed at htm still, yet it seemed to him that during a brief second consciousness had left hor and return ed, that now she loeked at him differ ently, almost wildly. I have been near death, also," he resumed. "I have seen no newspa pers, I do not kaow what they have told you. But the accident waa pure accident; If he could have been here, Floyd would have borne me out In that. I bave wantonly risked his life with mine at other times, then, no." Her sensitive face had changed, she. too, found speech. "I never thought of blame." she protested unsteadily. "Never. You drove straight and best You look so 111" He drew near her. long past conven tionalities. "I bave been 111. I bave now little strength to waste aside from my pur pose. Jessica, I have come for you, aa he once gave me leave to da You have no one left, nor L WUI you mar ry me?" Her fingers wound harder Into the curtain, he saw the pulse beating In her round throat as she flung back ber bead with Floyd's own boylna movement "You love me?" she questioned. Just audibly, grave eyes on his. "I thought you knew. Yea." She shook her head, her smile sad. "Me. Ralph Stanton, or Jes Floyd's twin?" aO BE CONTINUED.) Bishop Blames His Hair. Father William J. Dalton of the Annunciation church tells this story of a Catholic bishop well known in this locality, but at Father Dalton'a re quest nameless here: "The bishop Is a large man with bushy back hair," the priest relate.

Dean Sumner of the Cathedral 83 Peter and Paul related the following story at the recent banquet of the Chicago Association of Commerce at the Hotel Sherman.

Hi father called him a be cam in and Inquired what he did with tbe quarter be had been giv en. 1 went to tbe candy shop next door and changed It Into nickel, said tbe boy. 'Then I went to the new tand on tb corner and changed the nickel Into pennle. After that I went back to the candy shop and got five nickel for my pennle, and then I went to tbe delicatessen and got a quarter for my five nickel.'

John A. Brooks Is Still Strang Enough to Wslk Several Miles Every Three Months te Get His Pension Check. New York Among the survivors or the Civil war there are but three of the veterans who are more than 100 year of ag, according to the last annual report of the rutted Htates ronimlsHloncr of tienalous. One of these ceutury old warriors Is John An drew Jackson Brooks. 103 year old, who lives I if Jersey City aud who walked all tho way from Jersey City Heights to Brooklyn, crossing the river on the ferry, to see why his quar terly pension check did not arrive on August 6, when It waa due. Mr. Brooks was born In Norfolk. Va., Nov IS, 1808. and enjoys the rare distinction of being a veteran of the Mexican war aa well as of the Civil war. At the time of the breaking out of the Mexican war he enlisted In the Norfolk Juniors and served through out the war under IJeneruls Wlnfleld Scott and Zachary Taylor, participat ing In six battles. On February IS. 1S02. he enlisted from Brooklyn In th I'nlted States navy, serving as acting niaBter of a ten-gun ship until he was discharged In Brooklyn, at the close of hostilities, on Oct. 7. 1S63. AlthouKh much of Mr. Brooks' life has been spent "be fore the mast." he hue spent a great deal of bis time in Brooklyn, where he haa a married daughter living tn the Cypress Hills section. He was a bachelor until he was 65 years of age, and then married a Miss Nowland of New York city. His wife has been dead for 22 years. He has three married daughters living Mrs. Sarah Kraenier of ST Terrace avenue, Jersey City, with whom he makes his borne; Mrs. J. W. Freer of Newark, and Mrs. O. Bacon of Cypress Hills, Brooklyn. This centenarian comes of good strong stock. His father died at the age of 92, his mother lived to be 86, and of their five children the young est died at the age of 82. Mr. Brooks Is a strong, well-preserved man, erect and bright of eye. and his hearing, sight and appetite are not Impaired. His hnlr la scant, but he possesses a luxurious growth of white whiskers. He Is a big eater In spite of the fact that he has but two teeth, and he 'manages to put away four meals a duy and a "little snack" between meals. He has not worked since he was $5. because, as he says: "I ain't able to My wind gives out." "I was not married until I was f5 years old." said Mr. Brooks to the re porter, 'because I was a seafaring man for forty years, and In those days, when we had only sailing vessels, the trips were long and I thought I had no business to ask a wife to sit at home and wait for me while I was gone for two year or more, as I frequently vii on the voyages to the Fast Indies. I have been everything on a ship from cabin boy to master. I sailed for five years from Georgetown, Wssh lngton and Alexandria to New York, and I used to know every foot of the Potomac river."

Acting Hecretary of Agriculture Wlllet M. Hays gives out results of tbe department's Investigation Into the causes of the disease which has proved so fatal to horses In western Kansas. Tbe trouble Is a form of forage poisoning due to drought and to short feed In pastures. The disease Is not contagious and no effort to stamp It out will be necessary, a many horses recover when removed from dried pasture to feed lot with abundant supplies of green alfalfa or other green feed. The department will continue the Investigation of the conditions and desires Information as to all localities where the disease exist or may put In It appearance. For Laying Hen. I have found It a good plan to shut up tbe flock I have oq free range for two or three days. They will then have to lay In the n.tat boxes, and when lot out again will In all prob ability continue to do so at least for a time, after which they can be shut up as before, says a writer In an ex change. When this plan Is followed care should be taken to see that all the weeds are mowed In the poultry yard, a a hen which ha stolen her rest may take a notion to lay In the yard Instead of the poultry house when shut away from the nest she ha elected.
