Paul Ttnklemaa bad possessed the
handsome red touring car for tea days
and ha was still under Instruction fruni
' tb mechanician when be was Intro
duced to Helena Judd. To say that
ho immediately fell In love with ber
will explain what follows.
. The morning after his meeting wit
I Miss Judd Paul went forth to take hi
sixth lesson In the operation of the
- - machine He had reached a point
whera ha could run the car aluus a de
aerted stretch of country road with
Dlbbs, his Instructor, standing oo th
step beside the steering wheel." Tinkle
man's method la every undertaker
was slow and aureTanJ beuauallywao
ut In the end. ' It was very likely
that when Dlbbs had Imparted his last
lesson to the yoong man raul Tinkle
Bum would know mors about the run
nlng of a motorcar than the expert
himself. n
This morning of tba sixth lesson
found them runntng easily along just
the sort of deserted suburban stretch
. that raul liked. Cloe by- was a small
' red painted building plastered wltb
colored posters.
"Is that the Ilttl shop where yon
bought the cigars the other day J"
asked Paul of his im tractor.
Tea." replied Dlbbs.
, "Please ruu la and get somftore
will you? My pockets are empty.

buOdinc. Almost Immediately he re
turn ed.
V "No one but a boy Inside. He says
his father Is up st the bouse yonder,
and as he doesn't appear to want to
trust me la there alone I'll go up and
rout out the old man myself."
Paul, wrapped In huge fur garments,
leaned back and enjoyed the crisp ao-
air with its balm of sunshine.

"WELL TOD TAKE MS BACK V
Suddenly be beard a motor horn, and
there swept past snd then barked te a
standstill beside him a limousine con
taining two ladies. One of tbem was
Helena Judd. and the other was ber
hostess of the night before, Mrs. Far-
Paul was out of his own car
i beside tbeir door in an Instant.
"On, Mr. Tinkletnan. I'm sure you're
going to be perfectly dear and help me
'out of a mum." began Mrs. Psrsons in
her excited manner.
"Command me." said Paul promptly
and was rewarded with a smile from
Helena.
"Vm trying to get Miss Jndd to the
junction in time to catch the 11:10

back we punctured a tire, but Henri

you take Helena to the station? Now,
my dear girl. I know Paul will be de

I will remain here while Henri tele
phones for another motor. Thank you
so much. Paul. Goodby, Helena!" Mrs.
Parsons cloned the door after the pro

perturbed face as be assisted the girl
Into the tonncsu of bis csr.
He glanced up the bill where Dlbbs
bsd disappeared and then perplexedly
at the machine. His eye raogbt the
amused glance of Mrs. Parsons cbauf

could not run a car. and he hesitated
to confess his helplessness before them

bent down and cranked the car. He
could do that to perfection. It had
been his first lesson. Then, still sting

he took his place at the wheel, palled
a lever, and. with one last desperate
glance bp the hill, he managed, more
by luck than skill, to get out Into the
middle of the road and dash awlftly
down Its length.
He kept to the middle of the road,
nis course wss nadevlatlng because he
clutched the steering wheel wltb des
perate bands and held It rigidly In
position. The road was straight and
ran, a bard, white oyster abell ribbon.
Into a blurred distance. He had for

"I tlja't know!" Her sweet voice
Cuttered In his ear. "I'm so sorry. Mrs.

Pvrh.-u there would be a signboard.
TUove were slgub.vnrds. but the speed
of the machine was such that tlier
whlzsed past his line of vision like tl
tury white birds.
The clock tu front of bttn denoted
11 .-00, and he was still rushing nting
the road st goodness knows how many
miles an hour when be felt the pres
sure of a light hand on his fur clad
shoulder. There waa a whiff of freh
rtoleta with her voice aa sbeepr
agala. this time anxiously:
"Perhapa we had better go back. Mr.
Tlnkleton. Tm afraid it Is too late
to reach the Junction. There la the
train whistle now""
He tried desperately to reduce his
speed, but somehow his wits forsook
him. and bla pull was at the wrong
lerer, and their ouward rush was ter
rific.
"Oh. don't pjeaaer came the voice
from behind. "Don't try to catch the
train! Look OutT
He had slightly turned bis head when
she spoke and had not noticed a road
that crossed the highway. A farm
wagon along this road wss hurrying
to arold collision with him. Miss Jndd'a
warning cry came too late.' The motor
car graced the tailboard of the wagon,
and the vehicle swung violently aside
and dislodged a pyramid of crates,
and the onward eight of the red car
was followed by loud denunciations
from the enraged farmer and the
frightened squawks from a hundred
chickens.
After that his way was troubled with
many narrow escapes from disaster.
The road seemed suddenly alive with
vehicles of every description, and their
avoidance of a -serious accident was
due more to the skillful driving of the
people they met than to any ability on
Paul's part. He bad the middle of the
road.
ne wondered desperately . what -be
could do. He had pulled aad pushed
at every lever, and atiU they rushed
on.
"Mr. Tlnkleman" this time she spoke
angrily "will you please take me back
to Mrs. Parsons?"

determined to turn around at the very
next open space the road afforded.
They had left a little village where
whole galaxy of stars bad beamed
upon Paul's frantic passing, and the
road ahead was straight and narrow
and bordered on either side by. the
high stone wall of a private estate
There was no evidence of a space large
enough to whirl tbe car about at top
speed.
Just then tbe Urtle bsnd pressure
wss en bis snonlder again, and this
time it was followed by a firm
dutch. Then something brushed his
cheek, and a daring feat had been ac
complished. Miss Judd had calmly
climbed over tbe back of the seat snd
is beside him. and the csr w
going like a red streak, raul wss
angry because of ber temerity snd
with himself for being the cause of It.
'Are you Intoxicated, or don't you
know how to run this car?" Mis
Judd's determined voice whipped him
like a lash, and he turned and said to
her tbe words he should hire said In
tbe beginning, "I don't know bow to

rocking car. steadying ber wltb his
strong arm. which had proved so use

hands darting here and there, the big
car responded to ber touch and slowed

gesture silenced him.
"As It happened." she -Staid breath

Of course Mlsa Judd was at the
wheel going back. They took their
time. They brokeeno speed limits,
snd she cleverly avoided the main
road on which they bad broken all
speed laws snd crept back to tbe cigar
shop by devious, quiet ways.
An anxious Dlbbs waa at tbe little
shop awaiting them, and Paul never
forgot his look af amazement as his
employer ran tbe. big machine up to
tbe path, for Helena had Insisted on
changing seats with blm at the last
moment
"Ton may take us up to the Parsons'
place. Dlbbs," said Paul nonchalantly
