The first car was called to its station. The Mer­ cury had drawn fifth in the lottery for place. Just four minutes before the starting hour, a taxicab bowled furi­ ously across the crowds, came to a Jerky atop at the edge of the course, and opened to emit lta passenger. “ Stanton!” hailed hla manager, chok­ ing with exasperation and relief. “ Stanton, for Heaven’s sake—where— what—” “ Sick,” the driver flung at him, springing across to his car, from which Floyd slid out to give him en­ trance. “ MaBk, gloves, you others.” “Sick?” echoed the unbelieving Mr. Green, amid the flurry of preparation. “ You, you sick?” Stanton, in his seat, turned a color­ less face towurd him before clasping on the musk. “Sick,” he reiterated explicitly. “Are you ready, Floyd?’ ’ The Mercury drew up to her line on exact time. And in the moments while the cars in front wore being sent away, Floyd found an opportunity to put a question. “ You have been ill?” he coldly asked. “ Acute indigestion; I’ve been In a doctor’s office since nine o’clock laRt night,” snapped Stanton. “ Did you think I was lying to you?” “ No. Are you fit to drive?” “ If you’re afraid I’m not, get out and leave me.” The signal was given. When the Mercury flashed across the line. Floyd was almost as pale from anger as Stanton from recent illness. The race was for three hundred miles, thirty times over the ten mile course with its sharp elbows and steep hills, and was expected to take some six hours of continuous driving. The strain was not light for the pilot at the wheel. For the first hour there was no in­ cident out of the usual. Floyd attend­ ed strictly to his work and Stanton drove rather more sanely than usual. But at the beginning of the second hour, the rear of the Atalanta car came in view through the fbg of dust ahead; the Atalanta, which had start­ ed four minutes in advance of them. Stanton sighed with grim satisfaction, and speeded In pursuit. “Turn ahead,” warned Floyd, at his ear. ./SlANTQN W .. WINS J Believed General Orozco Will Resist Overtures.
