The Reckless Ruse Tried and the
. Race She Ran
As I saw the grey limousine ap
proaching the same car, I was
sure which had trailed my taxi
on Fifth avenue, a feeling of panic
almost made me lose control of
the wheel. It lasted for only the
fraction of a second, however, and
then I forced my brain to planning
my course. ;
That they were looking for me
it was foolish to question, after
Lillian's warning. lv-
With the thought that there was
one chance in a thousand of their
not recognizing me if I bent over
the wheel and dashed past them, I
crouched low, and pressed my foot
on the accelerator. But before the
car had covered much more than
its own length the vision of my lit
tle lad stopped me. They must
not me permitted to come near
him. ,- : - j ; i -., ;-'
if. they obtained a good look at
me, I reasoned, they would,, ho
doubt, turn the car and start In
pursuit of me, and even if I eluded
them, which, with a sinking
heart. I doubted, they would real
ize that my trail led away from
the farm house instead of to
ward it. :
The car was almost upon me,
proceeding at a leisurely pace, and
r guessed that someone within it
was watching the . road. Being
careful not to stall my engine, 1
brought my own car to a stop.: held
out my hand in the usual motor
ist's signal for aid.
"What Do You Want?"
I !'; .1 - :
The gray limousine slowed,
swung in so close to me that the
fenders of the two cars, almost
touched. I had left myself plenty
of spacq. at the right, however, and
I had my. car ready for a touch
to send it onward. But I needed
all the resolution I had .to keep
myself sanely poised when I saw in
the. car the fashionably yashmak
veiled woman, .who,. I was sure,
was 4cace Draper. , t-

the car halted. Only her ycs
gleamed InscruUbly between fhe
folds of the veil shrouding her
face. But a powerful looking man
at her side growled discoarte
ously: -"What
do yoa want?"
"Just this," I said rapidly.
"You will find nobody you wish at
the farmhouse. Mrs. Underwood
and my father hae gone to
Washington, and I am on my way
to New York for two days."
1 did not wait for an answer,
for at my words both the chauf
feur and the big man sprang to
the grounds I missed the leap of
one to thf running board, the
snatch at the wheel of the other
bv the fraction of an inch and a
second. And then I was tearing!
down the rdad. getting every ounce
of speed out of my small car, men
tally calculating the chances of
reaching some village or farm
house before they should overtake
'me. '--,
A Quick Decision. "
It was an almost hopeless out
look, I knew, for 1 had been over
the road sufficiently to remember
that I was upon a particularly
lonely stretch. No use either To
appeal to any passing motorist,
even if a car should come In sight.
There was more than a chance
that the motorist would not stop,
and I should lost valuable time by
slowing up.
Never In my motoring career
have I ever thought I would long
to see a motorcycle officer halt my
car, but I subconsciously prayed
for a sight of the familiar uniform,
even though I knew how hopeless
the petition was. It was the sea
son of the year when the force
numbers its fewest men, and each
has an immense amount of terri
tory to cover.
'I did not dare to turn my head
at the speed I was going, but I
knew if now accident had befallen
the gray limousine it would be
Upon me before many more min
utes, or perhaps seconds. It was a
powerful, costly car- in compari
son to its engine mine wag a
child's wind-up toy its chauffeur
was an experienced driver, and the
race could have but one conclu
sion. '
Hopelessly I watched the mirror
set at the left of my windshield. I
guessed they would blow no horn
as they drew up to me, and their
engine was so perfect a thing that
I 'heard no sound at all when In
the mirror I caught my first
glimpse of them stealing up on
me. .
i I saw what they meant to do.
They would crowd me toward the
ditch on the side of the road, so
that I would be compelled to stop
my car or cash into the ditch.
With the reflection that it would
be better to face whatever awaited
me with my body and mind unin
jured, I put out my hand, in the
signal for stopping that instinct
