-I wouldn't rid In an automobile
Wby, the Cirri X ootflt won 14 never
forgive me. It would b an Insult to
my training. When I waa a twevyaar
old I waa exenliKHl In the saddle In
stead of In a Laby carriage."
. The girl dunked herself uddenly.
I'm afraid Fve been rude, Mr. Rob-
ben, nil said, with a rtiarmlng air of
contrition. "Come, forgive m and ex
plain yotir uew automobile to me."
They walked to the tirb wber the
machln- st.Kwl. and the girl llatfmed a
t-tjtlvely but with little ntidnitandlng
whll the man technically explained Its
beaut lo and wer.
Edith Wentley waa from Nevada.
Her Ufa on hr father'a ranch, the Cir
cle X, bad bred In her a love for borw
and an admiration for men who could
master thern. An autoroobll to ber
was nirly a tamed locomotive, good
to amuse the Me rich-
Khe was a.jrlrl all men admired and
many loved. Jtolpb Robben, stock-'
broker, clubman and typical New
Torker, was In the latter class. " '
II had met W at a G o'clock tea. He
detested 6 o'clock teas, nut she seemed
out of place among the g-.walplng socie
ty women, and her Uvezy western
styl attrai-td blm. '
'lx you Ilk the t7" h askeL
"Cooje; now,' that's not fair. Do I
look Ilk a girl who would atak out a
claim In this society reservation! Ton
outfit lo give me a square deal, and I'll
reciprocate by telling you that I think
you. feel as uncomfortable her aa I do.
I don't seem to know the trail don't

"Will It Jut try me.
They met frequently after that. 3Tb
result at flrt surprised him, but later
It seemed ierfectly natural. He fell lo
love with b-r.
When his big French touring car ar
rived Robben wanted Mlsa Westley to
be the first to ride In It. Aa he finished
hi explanation of Ita mechanism aba
gingerly put her hand on one of tha
many lever.
"What is this fouuy little lever for?"
"That regulatee the speed."
"Oh, I see. It's a sort of mechanical
brldlo rein. And what happens when
you pr- this btg white button!"
"That crank the wheel automatical
ly and start the motor going. It's
very simple really, and a child could
run and control It," . -
'A child could inn Itt Why, then It

master It I abould think it would be
rather turn aport for a man." There
was a auggeatlou of mockery In hor
tone.
"Some persons think It require cour
age to run a machine like thla at fifty
or alxty mile an hour, but I don't go
in much for high speed. Tha danger U
too great I think you would enjoy It
Won't you come for Just a little sdIuT
"Thank you, but I'd rather not to,!
Of course ifa almply beautiful to look
at and wonderful lu many way, but
an automobll cannot b compared
with a bono. It baa no breading, no

fectly and for the moment wta aorrv

But ha enjoyed th rkj; f. ;n r:
Two week later b started out in th
rly morning In bla automobll for a
Ofrir mill over. H told hlrolf that
by tb tlm be rvtrrraed b would have
mad np bl mind either to propoe to
Mum Westley or to go to Europ tad
try to forget ber.
U waa alone, and bo a turned at
moderate speed into Pelham parkway.
in Westchester, b saw ahead a girl on
a horse. Tb bracing, balmy spring alt
laden with Um perfumes) of budding
tree and early flower and tb notes
of bird, added to itm phyalcal xhila
ratlon of rapid movement, had a plea
Ing effect upon Robben. The girl on
the bora fitted perfectiy into the
scheme. .
For a few seconds be waa loot la
contemplation and admiration of her
airperb horsemanship. Then he recog
nized something about the poise of ber
bead and the set of ber shoulder and
knew that tbe girl on the horse waa
Mis Westly. He wanted to Join ber,
but tbe combination of Miss Westley
on a horse and blm In an automobile
seemed to him unfavorable, and be
slowed down.
A be wstclied her be forgot all about
bis trip to Europe and determined to
propose at the firM opportunity.
Huddenly her horse swerved violent
ly to the right and broke from a steady
canter Into a wild gallop. Robben knew
Instantly either that the bridle rein had
broken or that tbe horse had taken the
bit In hi teeth. Clearly the animal
waa running away.
The girl retained her aeat In the sad
die, and, while she appeared to be per
fectly cool, be knew that around a turn
In the road less than a mile away was
the bridge across Pelham bey, and the
chance were great that tbe horse in
bis blind wlldness might dash her
against the Iron support of the narrow
structure or carry her Into tbe bay If
she were not thrown before they reach
ed the bridge.
He threw the clutch on to the highest
gear, and the powerful machine, thus
urged to the extent of ita alxty horse
power, leaped forward. It waa a long
chance be waa taking, but the girl 00
Vie runaway waa Edith Westley
Grasping the ateerlng wheel with his
left band, he slid aa far aa possible to
the right of tbe seat and guided tbe
machine alongside tbe bom. Tha ani
mal Teered off a tbe machine overtook
blm, but Robben reduced apeed and
kept as close as possible.
"Steady, Miss .Westley," be aald
calmly. "Free your aklrt and Jump
when I aay the word. Steady bow!"
They were within fifty yard of tbe
bridge when Robben threw off the
clutch. Jammed down the brake and,
with a aklllful. twist of the ateerlng
wheel, akldded elost to the runaway.
Bracing himself with his knee against
the dashboard, b let go tha wheal and,
reaching far out over the aide of the
machine, aald. "Come!"
With a quick movement he threw his
arm about the girl aa abe left the sad
dle and, strainlug every muscle, lifted
her Into the machine. Her weight and
the sudden hock threw them against
the steering wheel' with terrific force.
The great machine swerved, ran up a
bank and smashed Into a tree. For a
few. momenta they were both stunned,
but when Robben Bought the glrl'e eye
lu saw lu their depth a light be bad
feared would never be there for him.
That night Mis Westley wrote a let
ter to ber father In Nevada: j
Dear Old Pad I am xotna; to marry a
"lendwfoot." but he wilt t a crsdtt to

Tfc Qarterar.
The term qnartermaatcr as used In
both the army and - navy appears to
lie confusing and anomalous. In the
army it la the title of a commissioned
officer who performs Important and
reeiiousibla duties. In the navy be
Is simply warrant officer, directing
Hiibnnluiiitc duties. In old ships and
under former arrangement his posi
tion was a more Important one, so
much so that he was coniklered to be
the fourth part of the master; hence
the term quartermaster, being prin
cipally engaged lu usslstiug hlin In the
navigation of the ship. Even at the
present d.iy h has chance of the
steering gear aud the men at the
wheel. Other term accentuate tho
fact of the original military predom
inance ou board our w arships in early
d.iys. One of these still exist nnder
th titlo of cuptaiu. There are captain
of tbe quarter Uvk, forecastle, forctop,
