CHAPTER X—(Continued). "Jes and I do not tira of our friends." she rebuked. "But beyond that, how can any one tell what will happen' We can just live our best •very day and wait to see further. Sometimes things get twisted wrong." “What is the matter? What Is twist ed wrong. Miss Floyd?" She shook her head, smiling across her shoulders at him. “Nothing—nothing but me. Only I feel disgustingly gloomy to-night; as If Jea and I were very far apart. Never mind. I wish you all good luck and victory for the race.” “What was that song you were sing- Ing on the first day I came here?” he asked Irrelevantly. She hesitated, then struck a few ebords upon the piano. "That?" “Tee. Will you sing It to me, now ?" With her charming trick of prompt obedience, she at once seated herself ■X the instrument. It was no ornate classic, no love song, that the velvet-and-gold contral to voice braided Into Stanton’s mem ory, to be In the near future a torture more acute than physical pain and per the trip to tndfana No more orchids and laurel. He smiled In sardonic re lief and went to open a window to the pungent October air. Tomorrow he would see Floyd at the course and begin the work which intoxicated him as It does all those who once acquire the tearless mastery of a car at high speeds and taste the strong excite ment of the racing game. He drew a breath of anticipated exhilaration; this was the ground where he and Floyd stood closest In understanding and where Jessica could never come But he wished that she had not looked so strangely grave and wistful, that evening. It troubled hiui. CHAPTER XI. The Last Race. "Bay, Floyd, got a spare t!re ex tinguisher In your camp?” "I guess so.” called a gay rippling voice across the gray dawn mist. "Just throw it Into the next pit. then; Jack's whistling again." A tousled head appeared from the third In the row of repair pits. “Let Floyd alone, he'd rather hear me whistle than you talk.” Jeered the offender. "Besides, he's working. Is It true, Floyd, that you can make a woin-out taxicab motor run like a new foreign engine? Some one told me so.” "Why. yes. Jack; but I haven't any time to fix your car now," came the sweet reply "Come crank the Mer cury for me. one of you, I want to hear her run.” One of the laughing mechanics ran forward, but paused as a tall figure advanced from the shadow of the stand Floyd straightened up from bending over the unhooded motor, shining eyed and vividly aglow in the raw. salt air that swept across the bare Long Island meadows. “Stanton!” he gladly welcomed, and stripped off a rubber glove to give greeting; Floyd was girlishly careful of his hands and always protected them during work when possible. "I just arrived here, by train," the other explained. “Do you want to take the car out?” "When you're ready.” "I am ready now. Get some warm ! things on. it is going to be chilly un- till the sun is out.” It was not an emotional meeting, but both men were content Stanton had felt the thrill of relief and pleasure upon seeing his mechanician which - surprised him Into recognition of how ■ much uneasiness the Incident of the night before had caused him. “You will have to be kind to the tires," Floyd warned, as he complied ! with the directions. "We have only | the ground On the second tlm« around, the Mercury struck an edged •tone and lost a tire with a sharp re- poTT Stanton drew up by the road side. and Floyd ran back to pitch t’-fl mischief making rock Into the fields. "George aud Palmer are out," he ob served, returning. "They might come to grief on It. too. Besides, we our* selves might hit it again. I like • track race." "So do I. How many tires left?“ “Three." They worked rapidly, both for i-rno- tlce and from force of habit. The Duplex roared past at a leisurely gait, while they were busy. Its driver wav ing a hand in sympathetic greeting. Floyd paused to wave a response, and presently the Mercury sped after its rival. Before ten o'clock they had lost an other tire. "Those tires tn yet?” demanded Stanton, when he «gain dtew up be fore the repair pit. The harassed assistant manager shook his head, exhibiting a sheaf of yellow telegrams. "Not yet The Ruby Company tele graphs that they shipped the order last week by express; the express company telegraphs that they scut the carload on from Chicago two days ago and It must be here " "The freight car must have been left tn the New York yards. Instead of being sent out here," deduced Stanton exasperatedly. "New York says it Isu't there.” "Perhaps they shipped the order to the Mercury fnctory by mistake,” Floyd suggested. Mr Green looked at him In scorn. "Of course I 'phoned there first of all. The chief says they are not there, either, and to teiegr.iph all along the line until wo trace tho car." “Have you doue It?” Stanton In qulred. “Pm doing It now. I've got as far west as Utica and each freight yard denies having them.” "We'll go to lunch. Floyd. The an swers will come in meanwhile." There was a hotel near by, which Mr Green made his headquarters, and where Stanton and Floyd chose to stay. A good many of the other driv ers and officials also remained for that night. "I'd run Into little old New York." the drivtr of the Atalanta car ex plained to Stanton, "only I'm afraid it ain't healthy to go through Brooklyn so often.” To the hotel tt*e answers continued to come all that afternoon, until Mr. Green and the office were snowed over by strips of yellow paper. The larger the city and the more crowded Its freight yard, the longer the time re- INSURE NOW In Oregon's Most Reliable Association Oregon Fire Relief.

On reaching home, an hour later, Stanton found a letter awaiting him from the assistant manager. Green. It was dated from Long Island, and re minded him that the course would be open for the last day’s practice next morning during the early hours. “The car is at last ready, and if you see Jes Floyd, tell him that we can not get along without him any longer,” ran the concluding sentence. Stanton put dow-n the letter, frown ing at It In Irritated astonishment. Had not Floyd gone to prepare for the race, with Green and by his direct or der? How then could he, Stanton, know anything about his mechanician and why did not Green know every thing? Possibly Floyd had been kept at the Mercury factory; but in that ease Green would surely have sent there for him. Instead of trusting to the faint chance of Stanton’s encoun tering him. Of course Floyd must be ready to go out for the delayed prac tice work next morning—Stanton rose Impatiently; of course he would be ready A thought like a needleprick halted him when half-way across the room, a wild fancy. Could It be conceived credible that Valerie Carlisle did wish to prevent the Mercury car from rac ing. and, failing to reach the driver, might attempt to keep away the mech anician she knew to be so valuable? He recalled his own strange illness on the eve of the Massachusetts race. On an Impulse beyond restrain, he turned to his telephone; there would be some one to tell him of Floyd at the factory, for it was working night and day to fill Its orders. "Yes, 337 Frenchwood,” the thin voice finally came along the wire. “Yes, Mercury. Mr. Stanton? Walt.” The Instrument roared vilely; he knew It was the din of the huge en gines he heard across thirty miles of distance. "Hello,” another voice took up, through the drone. “Stanton? This is Mr. Bailey. What? Oh, why Floyd's gone on—” there was a blank clicking "—to Long Island tonight.” was faint ly resumed "He’ll be on his job when you need him. Stanton; go a bit easy on the poor kid. He isn't a machine." Stanton exclaimed something ugly •nd hung up the receiver with a snap talley was a fool, he mentally sneered, •nd Green was another, and he him self the third.
