“ Were you feeling 111 yesterday?”
Floyd inquired, when the last course
was removed and they were left to
themselves. His own bearing was lee«
assured than usual, his gaiety subdued
to quietness almost savoring of tim­
idity.
“ Not until evening, after dinner.”
The mechanician looked at him,
started to speak, checked himself, and
at last Impulsively put the Indiscreet
question:
“ Do you mind telling me where you
dined ?”
“ Of course not,” Stanton returned,
without a trace of hesitation. “ With
Mr. Carlisle of the tire company,
and his daughter. They are here for
the races. He wanted to talk tires to
me, Heaven knows why. We didn’t
get very far; after Miss Carlisle left
us I began to feel so sick that I ex­
cused myself and got away to tbe
nearest doctor.”
Floyd turned his head, and caught
his breath In a brief, quick sigh. When
he looked back at his host, his candid
eyes were clearer and more gentle
than they had been since the assist­
ant manager had given the account of
Stanton’s amazing disappearance.
"Acute Indigestion, your doctor
called your attack?"
"Something like It.”
“ Miss Carlisle doesn’t seem to be
a lucky companion,” Floyd observed
dryly. "She made you miss your train
here, you came near breaking your
wrist with her car, and her dinner
seems to have poisoned you. What
did she give you, lobster and ice­
cream ?”
"No— I hardly know. I never care
what I eat.” He passed his hand Im­
patiently across his forehead, sudden­
ly giddy.
Floyd leaned nearer.
"Stanton, how did you feel? WhatT
Tell me; I’m not Just curious.”
’ ’Nausea, violent successive attacks
of seasickness that left me too weak
to stand. I've got the headache yet."
His voice died out; he had a vague
Impression of Floyd starting up and
coming toward him.
"I had to make the doctor steady
me with some drug so I could race,”
he resumed abruptly.
"I'm brute
enough without that In me, Floyd.”
"Hush, try to rest,” urged his mech­
anician's earnest young voice across
the mist.
" I ’m tired," he conceded.
It seemed to him a long time after­
ward that a sensation of exquisite
coolness extinguished the flame-llke
pain binding his temples, although tbe
rich sunset glow was still In the room
when he opened his eyes. Floyd was
bending over him, bathing hie fore­
head with light, firm touches. Stan-
the savage Irritability of a strong man
“ What a position for you and me!
What will you do for me— the engine
Is shaking loose from the chassis, by
the feeling? Get your tools."
"Don’t try to talk. I hav.e sent for
a doctor," soothed Floyd. "You are
all righ t Here," a hand was slipped
behind his head, a glass of water held
to his lips. "Drink this."
"You might have been a nurse,"
Stanton wandered dreamily. "Your
sister couldn’t do better. And you’re
so nonsensically good-looking! Floyd,”
the feverishly brilliant eyes flashed
wide, “ what Is your sister’s name?"
“ Jessica."
“ Jesse— Jessica ?”
"W e are twins; I told you that.
They named us so purposely."
The heavy white bandage encircling
his mechanician's left arm caught tbe
patient’s falling attention.
"You’ve had a bad day; go home
and rest," gasped Stanton the brute,
before things slipped from his ken.
