Tha weary drivers had settled to steady endur- anew gaits, saving their energy and their machines for the more spectac ular work of afternoon and evening. At nine o'clock that night the race would end. The Mercury car had registered ■tnety miles more than the Duplex, both of them being many tens of miles la advance of the other competitors. At six In the morning Stanton had g«»re tn for a brief rest. At eight he was back, and kept the wheel until one in the afternoon. Victory was in Biz hands if nothing happened to his car; an hour and a half lost in re pairs would transfer all his advantage to the Duplex. He was Jealously afraid to intrust his machine to his assistant driver, and consequently merciless to his mechanician and him ■df. But Floyd made no complaint. At Valf-past one, all the cars were •ent to their camps while an hour was spent in having the track hur riedly mended by gangs of workmen. The road-bed In places was furrowed like a plowed field by the flying wheels. Meanwhile the afternoon crowds flowed in. filling the stands to «flora t ion. massing on the prome nade, banking in a solid row of pri vate automobiles behind the screen. When at half-past two the racers s m recalled to start anew, Stanton sharply scrutinized his mechanician before leaving the camp. "I'm going to keep this car until the end of the race." he announced, not unkiDdlv. "If you don't think you can stand seven hours of it, say so; and TH have them find some one to re lieve you. They can rush Rupert here from up the Hudson by four or five o'clock. If you get in for It, you'll finish, if I have to tie you in your seat. 1'tn driving to win.” The scarlet of resentment flushed through Floyd's grime-streaked pallor. “You won't have to tie me.” he promised, white teeth catching his lip. "IH not flinch. Go on.” Stanton actually laughed, bending to his levers. "I didn’t mean to tie you to keep you from running away, but to keep you from fainting and falling out,” he explained. "But—’’ The car bounded forward. The track had been filled in with wet mud from the infield—on the first circuit the heavy Lozelle car skidded and went through the fence at the north turn. After that, nothing could have induced Stanton to allow his machine in other hands. Hour after hour passed. The noisy music of the band crashed out mon otonously; the crowd swayed, mur muring. applauding, exclaiming, argus- eyed and kaleidoscopic in color and motion. At sunset, when the Mercury made • trip into camp for supplies, neither of Its men left their seats.

As you were saying—” But the glimpsed picture stayed with Stanton; the fatigued young face against his arm. the drowsy, heavy- lidded eyes flashing keenly awake, the Involuntary expression of angry shame at the moment's weakness. And he would sooner have tjed Floyd In his seat, after that, than have added the fine insult of ofiering to relieve him. "Ready," some one called; the work men scattered In every direction, and the Mercury was off once more. "Car cornin’,” warned the mechani cian, as they shot from the paddock entrance on to the track.

"You’re a different class, Floyd,” he stated abruptly. "You're no workman, nor descendant of workmen.” Floyd stared, startled at the brink irrelevance, then melted Into a straight, direct smile as he met the keen gaze. ITO BB CONTINUED.)
