Webster takes charge of the situation and. untangles" it to the satisfaction' of alf concerned, winning inf the end. the hand of the beautiful daughter of the governor.

WHY TH FOUND IT E INTERLOPKKS HARD TO LEAVE. "Turn around and get1 out of here, quick." We could 'distinctly hear the pursy, man's) command to his chauffeur, although we knew that he did not intend his words tot)G4 audible. "Sorry, diij, but I'm afraid I'll have to. back out." The man's tone was respectful, though firm. 'There Isn't I room here to turn around." ' . "Rot! That piece of junk over there has been turned around." He pointed a derisive finger at my humble car, which I had turn ed by dint of much backing, and pointed toward the wide road be fore we had alighted from it. "There's some -difference be tween the lengths of the cars, sir," the chauffeur ! pointed out. "I know that." There was the utmost contempt in his tone and glance, j "Bu if that car were out of the way you ought to be able to turn there!. ! Go and tell her to move it." f ' - The man hesitated! and Lillian who had appeared to be utterly oblivious of the colloquy,, though we could hear every word of it, Ftraightened I from her task 1 of ptHcg sticks j' for pur , fire,;and spoke In a provoking drawl; 7 , "You'll save time.young- man, by I remaining in your seat. Our car Is wholly out of tl e- road, not cbstructing It in any-sense. We certainly would not; have the slightest objection .to moving it for civil fellow travelers, but un der the present circumstances we must absolutely decline to touch it." j j ; The; drawpj left her voice at her last words,! and they were spoken with an icy decision ( that evidently-had Its effect on the chauffeur. He had openjed the door and put bis foot upon the running board, but he drew in "his foot, closed, tho door, and spoke with " dec is-. ion In his ojwn voice to his em ployer. : - j "There's nothing to do but ito back, sir. ij know this road. 8 It gets narrower and more sandy farther on."j His employer looked more apop leptic than ever.. . A Controvert "Do I hir; you to advise me or to obey me?" he jroared. f'Vou figure out some way of turning this car around here, or you're fired when we get "home." A With a little sardonic twist to his 'lips, bu t with no other break in his absolute stoical composure, thejchauffejir stooped to the glit-terlpg- mechanism in front of hit: and fumbled with it a second.',! The hum of the engine stopped at once, and the man straightened in his seat, the switch key in his hand, .steppedto the. ground, tip ped his cap 3n most approved faisbion, and held the key out to his1' red-faced employer : , "In thafl case, sir, I prefer to quit now," ho said, i The- owner of the ear glared at him inj quivering rage' for a minute. Then he fairly snatched the key from his hand and thrust it toward his son. ' ! ;h Get this car out of here, Ted; ! he snarled. ' t fl was no certain, but I thought I detected a slight "lowering of the younger man's, eyelid"; as he glanced across his ,fathers shoul-. der toward the chauffeur,; The man turned away with apparent indifference, but"' when 4iis back ws w'ellloward the "people whose service he had just quitted, a grin of malicious amusement crossed his face. I had a sudden, swit intuition that the owner's on would not be able to start the car, that the young man was perfectly aware oj whatever little chauffeur had employ that his sympathies in trick thri ed, and zona desert. After being thrown into. the waters of San-Francisco bay, he is picked up by-the crew of a tramp steamer and forced to work his; way to China, where he again meets the gang. With, the aid of some American sailors, Mix and the daughter of the scientist who di. (covered the mine, . fight their wjy out of a Chinese' den and staff back to the states. .

He waited vainly for the motor to engage, tried all the familiar methods of coaxing a refractory, self-starter, and turned finally to his father with a shrug of the shoulders. "It's gone flooeyV he said. "You, Jones" his father roar ed. "What have you done to this car? I'll have you arrested and send -you to jail for a thousand 1 T . - . . .

It's, a complicated mechanism, sir, and has to.be humored." Whatever s retort j the owner of the ear had upon his tongue was drowned in a shrill, hysterical cry from the tonneau. ' Thei el derly woman was lying back against the Cushions, beatipg the air with her hands and uttering cry after cry. "'Henry I can't stand this!" she shrieked. "You know how nervous I am. Even if Ted could start the; car I couldn't .have him drive me home. , Jones is the only man I feel safe with. Jones, come over here and "fix this car at once and get us home. I feel one of my attacks 'coming on." ' ..-) ; The apopleptlc owner Qf the car looked actually ' cowed. Ted looked . uncomfortable.
