He was mak hard and very successful effort to b practical and not glr way to emotion at thia time, though tho girl could not guest that. Sba marveled at bla calmness. "You know," he began, "or-rather, yon don t know, because they don't anybody know but just me and one or two others, that there'a t Lorimor car belongs to me." Mary'a eyes widened at this rerela tion. It was the very thing she wanted most to know about, but she had choked on the question whenever op portunity arose to ask it. "I had Tom buy It for me. I kept it secret. Bound to he talk if I bought any car not put out by the Jupiter Motor Company, and I thought It just aa well not to let the Lorimor people lie able to aay I had to buy one of their cars to get any place. "But the fact Is." he hesitated, and Slary fairly twitched with Imps tience, "the fact la now, you keep thia to youraelf, Mary but the Lori mor car it a darn goor' car and it's been cutting Into our sales to the point where It's not funny anr more. Now, I know all about the Lorimor car. They haven't go so much aa a washer on it that we haven't got. or can't put on a Jupiter. But I'm damned if a lot of people don't pre fer it to the Jupiter. Now wbyf "I says to myself. I'm going to find out. So I gave Tom $3,000 cash to buy a brand-new Lorimor. You've heard me say Tom's, the best mechan ic alive, and he is. That's why I keep him. He ain't so trustworthy in all ways. I've found that out. But I'd rather have him on my cars than some honest lunkhead. And if he wasn't lacking somewhere he'd be down at the plant getting $'.'0,000 a year, instead of wearing my livery and Bleeping over a garage. Breathless aa she was with eager ness for him to get on to the point of the story, Mary could not help recognizing that the faults of Tom were a real heartache to the old man, so hMily did he esteem the man'a me chanical genius. "Well. I rode out In It this morn ing. Nobody likely to ace me down here, nobody that knows me, that is. Sitting back thero with nobody to talk to but this Louise I got to look ing around at the finish and poking the upholstery and ao on, and look what 1 found!" He held unt a folded sheet of paper, hfa baud trembling uutil it waa bard for her to see it, Mary unfolded It, read In Eddie's familiar handwriting: "I. O. U. $15,000. Edward Harkness, Junior." "Take it. easy. now. Don't get up set." Jupiter warned her, aa the whiteness of her face began to fright en him. She pulled herself together. -now aid tnis get in trie car, I wonder?" she asked levellr hold. ing the sheet of paper which was like a message from Eddie himself. "Well it was a second-hand car. Looks like It might be the car that The Fly used coming and going, and maybe ItUr on the one that ran your orotner down, Jupiter ottered. Mary's dated eyes sought the pa per ngain. "Tom swears there's been nobody in thia back seat till this morning," went, on Jupiter. "Tom's no hand for joyriding, I'll say that for him." When they got back to town, driv en by the obliging young man in whose pocket now reposed the first SM) bill- he had ever seen, none of tne motoring party nan returned, rsot until she entered the lobby did It enter Mary's mind that she had not telephoned Bowenl Hastily she called the number he had given her, but he was not there. No one knew whether he had been there or how long ago he had gone. Well, she had been gone nearly three hours. No wonder he had grow Im patient. No sooner had she gained her room however, than the telephone began to trill madly. It was Bowen. He was almost incoherent with relief at find ing her In. "Listen." he aald. "I'm at Hilltop Inn. Nobody here but me, now. But they've been here. Bruce and the Countess. And what a fight! I hid behind a catsup bottle and got an ear ful. Listen, did Mrs. Jupiter have a diamond b acelet?" "Tes." Marv said, "she did." "Would yon know It?" "T think so." "Well. look on the countess arm when she comes in. And she'll come In alone!" (To Be Continued) lOWZOKtAL ruotograpbie nachtne. :blc meters.
