CHAPTER V.
There was a change In the Ffrench
affairs, a lightening of tha atmos
phere, a vague quickening and tttr of
healthful cheer In the days that fol
lowed The somber master of tha
hour met It In nailer's undisguised
elation and pride when they discussed
the successful business now taxing the
factory's resources, met It yet again
In Emily's pretty gaiety and content
But most strikingly was he confronted
with an alteration la Dick.
It was only a week after his first
morning ride with Lest range, that
Dick electrified the company at din
ner, by turning down tha glass at his
plate.
"I've cut out claret, and that sort of
thing." ha announced. "It's bad for
tha nerves ."
His three companions looked up la
complete astonishment. It was Satur
day night and by ancient custom Bal
lsy was dining at the bouse.
"What has happened to you? Hare
you been attending a revival meet
ing?" the young man's uncla Inquired
with sarcasm.
"It's bad for tha nerres." repeated
Dick. "There Isn't any reason why I
shouldn't like to do anything other
fellows do. Les that Is. none of tha
men who drive cars ever touch that
stuff, and look at their nerve
Mr. Ffrench contemplated him with
tha Irritation usually produced by tha
display of ostentatious virtue, but
found no comment Emily gazed at
the table, her red mouth curving In
pita of all effort at seriousness.
"You're right. Mr Dick." said Bai
ley dryly. "Stick to lt."
And Dick stuck, without as much
as a single lapse Ffrencbwood saw
comparatively little of him. as time
went on. the village and factory
much. Ha lost some weight, and ac
quired a coat of reddish tan.
Emily watched and admired In si
lence. . She bad not seen Lestrange
again, but It seemed to her that his
Influence overlay all tha life of both
house and factory. Sometimes this
showed so plainly that she believed
Mr. Ffrench must see, must feel the
llent force at work. But either be
did not sea or chosa to Ignore. And
Dick was incautious.
"I'm going to buy one of our road
sters myself," be stated one day. "Can
J have It at cost?"
Mr. Ffrench felt for bis plnce-nes.
"You? Why do you not usa tha
limousine?"
"Because I dont want to go around
in a box driven by a chauffeur. I want
a classy car to run myself. I've been
driving some of tha stripped cars,
lately, and I like it"
"I will give you a car. If you want
one." answered bis uncla. quite kind
ly. "Go select any you pr-fer."
"Thank you," Dick sat op. beaming
"But I'll have to wait my turn, we've
orders ahead now. Lestrange says
I've no right to come In and make
coma other fellow wait."
Mr. Ffrench slowly stiffened.
"We do not require lessons In ethics
from this l estrange." was the cold re
buke. "I chall telephone Bailey to
send up your tar at once."
Rupert brought the slxty-horse-pow-ar
roadster to the door, three hours
later. And Emily appreciated that La
strange was discreet as well as com
pelllcg, when sba found the black
eyed young mechanician was detailed
to accompany Dtck's maiden trips;
which duty was fulfilled. Incidentally,
wltb tha fine tact of a Richelieu.
In May there was a still greater ac
cession of work at the factory. In ad
dition, the first of June was to open
with a twenty-four hour race at Beacb
track, and Lestrange was entered for
It Excitement was In the air; Dick
came In tha bousa only to eat and
sleep.
Tha day before tha race. Mr
Ffrench walked Into tha room wbera
bis niece was reading.
"I want to sea Kailey," be said
briefly. "Do you wish to drive ma
down to the factory, or shall t have
Anderson bring around tba limou
sine ?"
"Please let us drive." she exclaimed,
rising wltb alacrity. "I have not been
to tha factory for months "
"Vary good. You are looking well.
Emily, of lata."
Surprised, a soft color swept tha
face aha turned to him.
"I am well. Dear, 1 think we are all
batter this spring."
"rerhaps." said Ethan Ffrench. His
bitter grsy eyes passed deliberately
Ver tha large room with all Its traces
of family life extend ins, back to pra
Colonlal times, but ha said no more.
It was an exquisite morning, too vir
ginal for June, too richly warm for
May. When tha two exchanged the
sunny road for tha frtory office, a
north room none too light. It was a
moment before their dazzled eyes per
ceived no ona was present This was
FJalley's private office, and Its owner
bad passed Into tha room beyond.

CAMF AND THE CAflPLCj
dismissing the boy who had ushered
them In "Sit down, Emily; llalley

But Emily bad already sat down, for
she knew tba vole speaking beyond
tha half-open door, and that tha long
prevented meeting waa now Immi
nent "It will not do." Lestrange waa stat
ing definitely. "It should be rain
forced." "It's always been strong enough."
Bailey's slower tones objected. "For
years. It's not a thing likely to
break."
"Not likely to break? Look at last
year's record, Mr. Bailey, and tall ma
that. A broken steering knuckle killed
Brook In Indiana, another sent Little
to the hospital In Massachusetts, tha
same thing wrecked the leader at the
last Beach race and dashed him
through the fence Do you know what
It means to the driver of a machine
hurling Itself along the narrow verge
of destruction, when tha steering
wheel suddenly turns useless In his
grasp? Can you feel the sick helpless
ness, tha confronting of death, the
compressed second before tha crash?
Is It worth while to risk It for a bit
of costless steel?"
The clear realism of tha picture
forced a pause, filled by tha dull roar
and throb through tha machinery
crowded building
"They were not our cars that broke,
any of tbem." Bailey Insisted.
"Not our cars. no. But the steering
knuckle of my own machine broke un
der my hands last March, on tba road,
and If I had been on a curve Instead
of a straight stretch there would
have been a wreck. As It was. I
brought her to a stop In the . ditch.
There Is no other thing that may not
leave a f ghtlng chance after It breaks
but this leaves absolutely none. I
know, you both know, that tha steering-wheel
Is the only weapon In the
driver's grasp. If It falls him. be
goes out and his mechanician with
him."
Emily paled, shrinking. She re
membered tha road under tha maples
and Lestrange's laughing face as he
leaned breathless across bis useless
wheel. That was what It had meant,
then, the lightly treated episode!
"You'd better fix It like ha wants
It." advised Dick's disturbed tones
"Remember, he's got to drive tha car
Friday and Saturday, Bailey, not ua."
"It's not alone for my racer I'm
speaking, but for every car that leaves
the shop." Lestrange caught him up
"I'm not flinching; I've driven tha car

before and I will again. It may bold
for ever, that part, but I've tested It
and It'a a weak point take tba warn
ing for what It's worth."
There was a movement as if he
rose with tba last word. Emily laid
her hand on tha arm of tha chair,
turning her excited dark eyes on her
untie. Surely If ever Mr Ffrench was
to meet his manager, this was tha mo
ment; when Lestrange's ringing argu
ment was still In their ears, bis splen
did force of earnestness still vibrant
In the atmosphere And suddenly sba
wanted them to meet, passionately
wanted Ethan Ffrencb's liking for this
man.
"Uncle," she began. "Uncle"
But it was not Iestratige's light
step that halted on the threshold.
"Why, I didn't know" exclaimed
Bailey. "Excuse me. r. Ffrench,
they didn't tell ma you were down."
He glanced over bis shoulder; as
ba pulled shut tba door Emily fancied
sha beard an echo, as If tha two young
men left tha next room. Bitterly dis
appointed, sba sank back.
"That wss your manager with you?"
Mr. Ffrench frigidly Inquired.
"Yes; ha went up-etairs to sea how
lip
I tha new driTI Is acting " Bailey pulled
nut a handkerchief and rubbed his
brow. "Excuse me. It's warm. Yea,
he wants me to strengthen a knuckle
he's spoken considerable about It I
guess be e right; better too much than,
too Utile"
"1 do not see that follows. I should
Imagine that you understood bullJlng
chassis better than this racing driver.
You bad best consult outside experts
In construction before making
change."
Tncle!" Emily cried.
"There's a twenty-four hour race
starts tomorrow night" Bailey sug
gested uneasily. "It's easy Axed, and
wa might be wrong."
"We have alwaya made them this
way?"
"Yes. but"
"Consult experts, then. I do not Ilka
your manager's tone; be Is too as
suming. Now let ma sea tbosa pa
pers." Emily's parasol slipped to the floor
with a sharp crash aa she stood up,
qulta pale and shaken
"Uncle, Mr. Lestrange knows." sha
appealed. "You heard blm say what
would happen please, please let It be
fixed."
Amazed. Mr. Ffrench looked at her,
his face setting.
"You forget your dignity." ha re
torted In displeasure. "This Is mora
childishness. Fmlly. Men will be con
sulted more competent to decide than
this Lestrange. That will do."
From one to the other sha gaied.
then turned away.
"I will wait out In tha cart" sha
said. "I I would rather be outdoors."
Dick Ffrench was upstairs, stand
ing with lestrange In ona of tha nar
row aisles between lines of grimly ef
ficient machines that bit or cut their
way through the steel and aluminum
fed to them, when Rupert came to
him with a folded visiting card.
"Miss Ffrench sent It." was tha ex
planation. "She's sitting out In her
horse-motor car. and she called me off
the track to ask ma to demean myself
by acting like a messenger boy. All
right?"
"All right." said Dick, running aa
astonished eye over the card.
"No answer?"
"No answer."
"Then I'll hurry back to my em
broidery. I'm several laps behind In
my work already."
"Sea here. Estrange." Dick began,
as the mechanician departed, sitting
down on a railing beside a machine!
steadily engaged In notching steel
disks Into gear-wheels
"Don't do that!" Lestrange exclaim
ed sharply. "Get up, Ffrench."
"It's safe enough."
"It's nothing of tha kind. Tba least
slip "
"Oh. well." ha reluctantly rose. "If
you're going to get fussy. Read what
Emily sent up."
Lestrange accepted the card with a
faint flicker of expression.
"Dick, nncle Is making the steering-
knuckle wait for expert opinion." tha
legend ran. In pencil. "Have Mr. Bal

SOMETHING NEW IN
Before tha state legislature Is Al

sented a plan for America's first "de

first organised government bureau to
cara for the destitute home. More
than a generation ago governmental
aid for the families of the very poor
was abandoned in New York city;
living conditionsand living's cost
have changed radically since then;
today the specially appointed commit
tee of Investigation for the city con
ference of charities and correction
urges government ill aid as the only
hope of real "social Justice" and liv
able support for the homes of the
destitute There ar hundreds of
women and children starving In New
York for whom only the government
can adequately care.
"Of course It Is. primarily, a mat
ter of the cost of living." said O. F.
Lewis, chairman of the conference
committee on governmental aid of
New York city. "The pi Ice of the necessities of life has Increased so much
that destitution has become, a problem too great for the private societies j
meet alone I have no doubt that the private charitable organisations could
take care of the destitute families If they only hud enough money; but under
present conditions they have not enough money; and so something else must
be done something else must be added.
"What we are suggesting l something absolutely new. Hut It Is simply
the outgrowth of present conditions. It Is a question th.tt has 'broken
