"Neither are you." h« countered. •Nor It wouldn't be of sny Importance If w« were, but we are not. I'm not asking you why you are working with your hands instead of your head, and I suppose you are not asking me. Who cares ?” "No one," dryly agreed Stanton. “But I can tell you that I am doing this to make money, and make It quick, and I would much prefer break ing my neck to living in the ruck of poverty. They are calling our train; you had better come.” "I'm supposed to keep In touch with Mr. Green," Floyd observed. gathering up his magazine with cheer ful nonchalance. "He Is worrying •bout me most of th« time, for fear I’ll lose my nerve and desert." Which was not precisely what was worrying the assistant manager of the Mercury company, and perhaps Stan ton of the rough temper knew It “I fancy your nerve will hold out if your patience does.” was his reply. “Patience is supposed to be a wom an's art,” doubted Floyd. “But I'll try to acquire it.” Stanton laughed briefly. “I wouldn't give much for your chance of success. In that case, If I •ver find a woman who will ride with me as you do, I will—marry her.” “Oh, no, you will not,” contradicted th« other, searching his pockets for a missing glove. "You will marry a Fluffy Ruffles who will faint If you exceed the elght-mile-an-hour speed limit. And then you will quit racing •nd be spoiled for the Mercury Com pany, and all its rival manufacturers will chant for joy: ‘A young man mar ried Is a young many marred.’ ” It was so long since any one had cared to talk nonsense to Stanton, not to mention airily teasiDg him, that he caught his breath in sheer aston- lsbment. And then a tingllng, hu- man warmth and sense of comrade- •hip succeeded. It was as If he had been living In a lonely, silent room. when unexpectedly some one opened the door and entered. “I’m too busy,” he retorted only, but bls tone conveyed no rebuke. They walked on down the room and •ut Into the train shed. They were almost at the train Itself, when Floyd ■topped. “8ome one is calling you,” he signi fied Stanton turned, and found a pant ing, black-gowned young woman be hind him. “My mistress bade me ask you to wait, sir,” she apologized. “Your mistress?” She stepped aside, and he saw a tall, fair-haired girl, gowned with finished richness in a motor costume of pale tan silk, who advanced with leisurely grace toward them. “Miss Carlisle, sir,” supplemented the maid. "There Is no need for you to go,” Stanton checked, as Floyd moved to «ontlnue on his way. “Stay here.” He was obeyed without comment. Th« maid respectfully withdrew a few paces, when her mistress came up. “What a place to meet a man of gasolene!” greeted Valerie Carlisle, In her low, assured tones. “Or are you •Iso in distress. Mr. Stanton, and forced to prosaic train travel?” Her manner was that of one meet ing an ordinary acquaintance, she held out her hand, in its miniature tan gauntlet, with perfect ease. No one could have guessed how unconven tional and slight had been their intro duction. “I am going to Massachusetts,” Stan ton answered as composedly. "To Massachusetts? But so are we! At least, we had everything ar ranged to motor out to our country place, until twenty minutes ago our chauffeur was taken violently ill. Now I suppose we must go by train—" she broke the sentence, her large brown eyes sweeping Floyd with a de liberate question and scrutiny.

Of course, If you fear tiring yourself for a race day after tomorrow—’ Stanton started to speak, then ab ruptly shrugged his shoulders. After all, why not? “Thank you,” he returned. "I scarcely think a seventy-five mile run will incapacitate me.” “You will come?” Her amber eyes gleamed vividly. "You are too good. Let us find my father and the car. It Is at least a car worthy of you—a better than the Mercury, I confess to thinking.” “A foreign machine?” “No, an Atalanta Six. Martha, find papa in the station and ask him to come out to the car.” They emerged by a side exit into the noisy, dirty, sunny New York street. “Is it not well designed, well swung?” she challenged. “It Is fast on th« race track—you know that Is it not handsome?” She spoke eagerly, with more ani mation than he had yet seen In her. -Stanton ran * careless glance over th« big, tan-colored automobile standing by ths curb. They reached their destination In two hours and ten minutes. When they entered the village limits and the speed fell to fifteen miles an hour, Mr. Carlisle slowly revived, and regained his breath and his glasses. His daughter released her grasp of the seat, raised a shaking hand to touch veils and bonnet, then passed a hand kerchief across her dry lips and looked up at the man beside her. "How do you like th« car?” she asked. Stantoe surveyed her, almost sur prised Into compunction. “It hasn’t the Mercury’s pull, to be perfectly frank," he answered. "It la a trifle heavy and less lively. But it is a fine machine, and of course you do not want to rec« with It.” “Of course I do not want to race with It,” she slowly assented, and averted her face from him, watch ing the streets.
