C, McClut The man grasped the lever of the French touring car, and the crimson deiuott stopped so suddenly that it fairly sprang backward. The lane was narrow, and the girl who stood directly In the path of the machine had the im perious carriage of one who felt she held the key to the situation. When the dust bad subsided, the man saw that above the imperious figure rose a face of singular charm, surrounded by an aureole of copnerish gold. All this be saw In a flash despite his leather Ylsor and ugly goggles. The girl came to the side of the ma chine. "You are Mr. Benedict's chauffeur T The man nodded his head snd made a motion as If to raise his cap. The girl put one foot oa the step. - "Tea,, I recognized, the car. I want you to take tne to Barring-ton as fast as yon can make the machine go." : The man stirred uneasily. "But I am meeting some people at the 11:30 train"- "That makes no difference." said the girl, sweeping away his objections with "WILL YOU PUASK TBA1TK HTM FOB tuT tru feminine finality. ,"I will answer to Mr. Benedict for your disobeying or ders. A woman is dying in that cot tage. To sare her life the doctor must have certain things from bis office In Barringtoo, and you must take me for them." -f - Even before she finished the sen tence be had thrown open the low door, and; she sprang tip beside him. As she settled into her place the nUghtj ..car swung round in a circle, and they were off. She unfastened the veil from her big flat bat tucked the latter, behind-her 'ana" tied' the tulle over her hair, which refused, however, to be confined by such gentle measures. The man saw all this from tha tail of his eye despite the goggles. The road stretched before them, smooth and level as asphalt pavement. No teams were la sight "Faster!" cried the girl Impatiently. "Ton can surely make better time than thlsr " "Against the law," said the man curt ly. "Very well, break the law. I'll pay the fine if you are arrested. Ob, don't you understand? I've never seen any one die, and we've got to get back in time to save her!" The car sprang forward. The girl closed her eyes suddenly. She bad never ridden so fast "Accident?" hissed the man's voice In her ear. f ' "Yes; she fell and cut herself. I was driving by in my pony cart when I beard her groan. It was dreadful. I had never seen blood before, you know. Just theu Dr. Ilerron drove along. lie snld something about an artery and went to making bandages. I I don't think I was much- good I turned so falut. Then he wanted to drive back to Barrlngton for some things, and I I was afraid to stay alone with her. He wrote the list on a paper, and I was just starting with the pony cart when I heard your machine. The doc tor says she has just one chance In a hundred. You were the chance." The car stopped at the top of the hill. "Brace yourself," saW the man curt ly. Then came the plunge downward. It seemed to the girl as if the wheels did not strike the ground as they piiKsed through space. When they reached the foot of the bill she realized suddenly that the chauffeur bad been holding her iu the car with an arm firm and unninchlng. He did not apol ogize when he removed its support They weru turning into the village. "Which street?" he demanded. And she pointed to a white gabled cottage, He was evidently a well trained chauf feur of a multimillionaire bachelor, He knew enough to keep his place and not to take advantage of an awkward situation. The doctor's wife followed ber to the car, talking volubly. . -- - "Now, don't you stay around that place, fretting your soul out Miss Carle- ton. The doctor will get some neigh bor to stay with her." The car panted up the hill. "Isn't thl8-touirL8Skedlfe.gjj) "4 'JPlf Vct nervouaiyT "Chi excuse me; Tauuw you are making good time, but it teems as If wo were crawling. That woman has the dearest baby. She can Dot die and leave tho poor little thing all alone," "Did you ever think, Miss-Miss Carleton,H said the man, watching her curiously, "that the baby might be bet ter off if the mother dledr The worn- J un is poor, ion or some other rich woutau might adopt the child and give it a better home than the mother ever could." "No, you don't understnud. So many men say such things because- they do uot understand women and babies. It Isn't the home; It's the love." She had forgotten that tho man beside ber was a servaut She was thinking only of the baby that bad cooed confidingly In ber arms while the doctor worked over Its mother. "I've seen It curled in her arms. If she died, no arm would encircle It In Just the same way. No, you cant understand, because you are a man. But I I've felt always that I was cheated out of something some thing that every other girl I knew bad a mother. There's a loneliness I can't Just tell you what It Is. Some times It cornea In the dark when you are aioue and sometimes when you are among other people and see other girls with their mothers. I can't describe my feeling, but I Just felt as If I must save the mother to that baby." The man did not answer, but the ma chine did. It gnre n despairing groan and shot up the im-llim lu n way thnt would have made Its makers proud. - The touring car stood outside the bumble cott:ige until the girl came out again. Her eyes shone like stars. "We got here in time. She Is alive. I thank you very much. Is Mr. Bene dict coming home today 1" The man nodded and put a hand on the lever. "Will you please thank him for me? and I will do so In person when we meet" "Mr. Benedict. If you are very good you may take Misa Carlcton out to din ner," said bis hostess. "You know she has developed into a haughty Berkshire beauty." "Little Mame Carlcton r he mur mured. "Yes; only since she is old Charley Carleton's heiress they spell It with a y-'Mayme.' " They crogsed the room to where Miss Carleton was chatting with her host She extended her hand cordially. "I am glad to see Mr. Benedict home again, and especially glad to have this early chance to thank him for his tour ing car, which I borrowed so uncere moniously this afternoon." "And my chauffeur?" At sound of his voice Miss Carleton looked around as if for support but host and hostess had drifted away. "I-I though t"- "Of course," he said, wlthaquiizlcal laugh, 'It has been five years since last we met and then there were the gog gles." He was looking at ber hair. "I think I like It best tied down with a veil," he remarked Irrelevantly. "Please send your'carrlage awsy and let me take you home in my car," be urged. She hesitated, then gave the order, and they went back over the Barrington road. "We broke the record right here," be said gleefully as they slowly climbed the bill. Theu his voice turned serious. "I like to break records and yet here I've wasted five years away from you, wandering the world over. I never real ized until this afternoon why it was that I was lonesome too. I've been wanting Just you and I didn't know It" And then the big car shot Into the dim shadows of the narrow lane, and not even the night birds and the stars could see the answer be read In ber eyes. A DlBcalt Case t Car. Once I was assistant to an elderly doctor In Ontario, who also ran a drug store, no was as peppery as a cay enne pod, and from time to time cus tomers and patients sprang Jokes on him just for the fun of bearing him growl. On one occasion a well dressed young fellow called at the shop and asked the doctor to prescribe for a breaking out and a rash on his left arm. The doctor examined the limb and pronounced It to be a bad case of eczema. "I suppose, doctor, you can cure It?" said the patient "Why, certainly," replied the doctor. "How long will it take to get well?" "Oh, I guess about two months," said the doctor. "Quite sure, sir. Is It a bud case?" "Positively the worst I've seen." "Then I will' leave It with you and ;all for it again when cured," solemn ly said the patient slowly unfastening his arm, which was an artificial one and painted for the occasion. Pear son's Weekly, Kiwi tb Oldeat of Bird. In New Zealand Is found the kiwi, s strange bird of the ostrich family. Os triches have two toes, but the extinct ruoas bad three toes; so also have the existing emus, cassowaries and rheas. or South American ostriches. The kiwi, however, differs from the other stru thious birds in having four toes. Fur ther, the kiwi cannot be said to. bs quite ostrich-like, for in size It Is not larger than an ordinary barnyard fowl. It has a small head, with a large and muscular neck and a long slender bill, with the distinguishing feature that the nostrils are placed close to its lip. The legs are short but the muscles on the thighs are well developed, and the feet are strong and powerful and pro tided -With, shaxn cUwaj The, kiwi Is a binf "devoid of tiny external trace ol whip, and there Is no truce of tall vis ible, while It Is covered with long, nar row balrllke feathers, and on the (ore part of the bend and sides of the face are straggltng hnlrllke feelers.

Queer, Isn't It? I often wouder why It is. Cattle hate dogs lu the same way, and cata bate dogs so too. Here, though, we can accouut for the hatred. Dogs In primitive times fed on cattle, no doubt, and' even today here and there' they kill and feed on kittens. "Horses love dogs. Pin sure I don't know why. Iog fear no animals but pumas and leopards. You can take a dog up to a Hon' or a tiger's cage, and he will show no feur, but tuko him up to the cage of u puma or a leopard and he will tremble and woan and slink away out of sight.

"If Mr. Oladstone should fall into the Thames, It would be a misfortune. If any one should pull him out It would be a calamity."
