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.

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.

"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!"

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.
