Floyd traces the tires and brings them to camp. CHAPTER XI—(Continued), Th* precaution was justified. On th* most dreaded angle of the course came the well-known explosion. Im­ mediately followed by a second from the opposite wheel, the Mercury top­ pled perilously. Floyd was leaning over the back, un- Rtrapplng the extra tires, before Stan­ ton had brought the car to a standstill. The two men were out on the ground together, dragging forth tools. Ringed about by pushing, exclaiming specta­ tors, they worked with quick precision, wasting no time In speech. Dust­ wrapped. two big cars sped by them, the red one banging doggedly at the flank of the white. "George thinks he’s wfnnln’," lisped Floyd mockingly. “But he Isn’t goln’ to; we are." Stanton was on his feet again. “In with the tools." he directed, with brevity. But the blue-black eyes and gray exchanged one smiling glance before the Mercury sprang forward. The race began Its third hour, as 6 tan ton started out to regain hl« lost lead. It was noon, a dazzling, breath­ less noon of azure and gold. Down past the gTand-stand with Its heaving expanse of color and movement they swept again, the joyous applause com­ ing to them across the roar of their own motor, and on between the walls of people Into the quieter back stretch In pursuit of their rivals. There w-as a bridge, back there, across a shallow running brook shut In iby a strip of autumn-tinted woodland. "Car ahead!” Flcyd cried suddenly, as they rushed around a curve and ibore down on the crossing. “Look out —Stanton—” ( In the center of the bridge wa« a (reeling, staggering car, coming to a ¡halt and striving to maintain Its equi­ librium meanwhile. The chain had broken loose. Its driver afterward ex- iplalned, and was lashing the under­ mechanism to scrap metal. Seeing too late to stop bls own machine, Stanton took the only chance of saving any of the four llve-j and tried to twist past th* other car on the narrow bridge. Only a master-driver would have aL tempted the feat; Stanton carried it to the verge of success. They were along side, passing, when the edge of th* wooden bridge gave way under the double strain. There was the rip of splintering planks, as the Mercury's outside wheels crushed through the ^flooring, a shuddering lurch. “Jump!” Stanton shouted hl« vain icommand to Floyd, as they went down. The cool water lapped around bls fingers, trickled revivlngly across hla Intolerably painful arm, gurgling like la joyous voice as it passed by him. «lowly, with Infinite effort, Stanton dragged himself up upon the other arm, the uninjured right He must see; that was the Imperious cry of brsdn and heart, to see. It seemed to him years ago that the Mercury had «one off the bridge, yet he knew the time could be but moments, sine* the ambulance had not come and he waa •till here. Hla rialon was clearing. Yea; there, half In the dainty brook, half on th* green bank, lay the heap of bent and broken metal that had been th* Mercury racing car. And bealde it— Wh*n he drove back th* falntnes* that blackened the bright noon, Stan­ ton began to drag hla paln-rackad bodv toward what lay beside the Mer­ cury. Movement hurt, hurt unbear­ ably, yet waa a Jesa anguish than thought For he knew, knew th* the mechanician seldom escapee. Floyd lay near th* machine, un- xnarr*d to outward view except for a cut over hla temple and a stain of blood on hie lips. His mask and cap war* «on*, on* hand was flung out, palm up- ■ward, and th* torn sl**v* left bare th* slim arm crossed by the sigzag soar gained at Lowell. He looked very young and strangely grave, aa th* sun­ light and treeahadowg flickered back and forth across his colorices face and shining bronx* waves of hair. "Floyd," 8 tan ton articulated hoarse­ ly. "Floyd 1" The brook gurgled cheerfully,- a be­ lated oriole flashed past a streak of llama Stanton's head sank back down against bls mechanician's Inert hand, and th* world fell out of knowl­ edge. CHAPTER XIL I 1 “ i — * ■ Jess. It was two weeks later when Ralph Stanton first reopened conscious eyes, this time upon the immaculate dreari­ ness of a hospital room. A linen-clad □urs* stood beside him. and at th* foot of th* bed was a gentleman un- mlstakably medical. “Better, Mr. Stanton?” queried the latter, breezily professional. "Floyd?" Stanton whispered, with difficulty. "Where Is Jes Floyd?" The doctor surveyed him oddly, hes­ itating. But the nurse stooped over him, her expression altering to lmpul- sive compassion. “Well, very well," she assured hasti- ly. "Jes Floyd has gone home. Try to rest: try not to think of things." He had known the truth before he asked the question. Stanton quietly turned hla face to the wall and faint­ ed. being very weak. In hlr next conscious interval, h* put another demand. “Miss Floyd? She is alive?" “Yes, oh yes,” the nurse heartily *f- firmed. "Yes. indeed." Once mor* Stanton turned to th« wall. Jessica had not died when Jet did, then, according to her prediction; the tie of kinship had not held so far. She was In ch* little apartment, alone. Later in the night his steady, silent gaze drew the attendant to his side. "What Is It? You are suffering more?" “Ask her to stop singing," he begged. “It wasn’t my fault Aak her to stop.” The nurse took a glass from the table. "There Is no one singing, Mr. Stan­ ton, no one at all. Drink this." "No one? Not out there In the darkf "No.” He averted his gaze, and remained mute, unprotesting. After that h* never lost memory again; not even In sleep, for be dreamed, Day and night, hour after hour, Jessica's m et­ notonous song beat through his ile k brain. “Oft. in the stilly night—" His nights were not still, always when he closed his eyes he heard some one sobbing, Jessica Floyd weep­ ing for her brother. apcnaibtllty In that matt*r. May I aak where you are golug?” Before the epoken name Stanton winced, but eteadlly met th* other's Inquisitive eyes. “To Miss Floyd.'’ he responded. The doctor held out a hearty hand. “Good, I waa sure of It! A patient shows a lot of hla character to his physician. Good luck to you—all kind*" How did he know of unprotected Jes­ sica Floyd? Stanton wearily pondered the question aa he descended to the carriage. Or rather, how did be know of Stanton's feeling of responsibility toward her? Th* mechanician was sureoeed to take hie chance with the driver. Perhaps delirium bad revealed the close bond of friendship between Floyd and himself. At the railroad station, a tall young man approached him, as the train whistled in the distance. "My name Is Richards," he an­ nounced diffidently. "You’re hardly on your feet yet, Mr. Stanton: If there is anything I can do for you on th* trip into the city, I'd be glad.” Stanton surveyed him with blank non-recognftlon. "You don't remember me 7" the young man tried again. “Have you forgotten th* cub reporter who fol­ lowed you on the afternoon you were arrested for speeding your machine tn Pelham Parkway? You let your com­ panion give me the story." Stanton put out his hand, the poign­ ant memory unendurable. "Yes. yea. What of it?" "It gave me my start. It meant • big life for me; and I didn't forget IL I made the accounts of the accident at the Cup race aa easy for Miss Floyd aa I could, when they came out There waa bound to be some sensational­ ism.” "Thank you." Stanton made brief ao- knowledgment. "There la nothing that you can do for me." The train was hissing at the plat­ form, but th* reporter pursued him a step farther. "You. you'll look after Mias Floyd. Mr. Stanton? That's square?” The driver turned an amazed resent­ ful glance upon hla questioner, his hand on the rail. But. hardly aware why, h* answered, however glacially. “Yes, sir " Th* reporter beamed at him, radiant "I knew It” he called, above th* roar and clang of the starting train, “I knew It was all right." A dull gray sky arched above * snow-patched landscape, flurries of snow were In the harsh air. Stanton sat with unseeing eyes directed out the window, chin In hand, much as he had found Floyd sitting In the west­ bound train the night they started for Indianapolis. September sunlight Oc­ tober crimson and gold, all gone. A delicate fragrance drifted around him, there was the frou-frou of garments aa some one took the CHURCH DIRECTORY Remember the Name—BOHNA WHEN YOU WANT LIGHT GROCERIES, BAKING GOODS.

Btinton Surveyed Him With But gradually the last traces of de­ lirium faded out Slowly his superb health reasserted Its dominion and brought Stanton back to normal life. The fractured bones knit the other Injuries healed. He never spoke Floyd's name a sec­ ond time. Nor did any one mention it to him. The bead of the Mercury Company came out from New York to see him and express cordial sympathy. George, who had driven the Duplex to victory after the Mercury's wreck, came to visit him more than once, a blonde, cheery presence; as did the driver of the machine on the bridge who owned his own life to Stanton's cool fearlessness and skill. Mr. Green brought his fussy condolence. But none of them alluded to Jes Floyd. There waa a curious constraint that marked them all, an air of watch­ fully keeping silent upon some sub­ ject constantly present in their minds. Stanton looked them through and through with bls hollow blue-black eyea, and asked nothing. It was two months before he could leave the hcspltal. Winter bad shut In, raw and bleak. The day fixed for his departure, the doctor lingered tn bidding him good-by. "I have not wanted you to be wor rl*d, Mr. Stanton,” he said bruskly. “Not on any account.
