“ 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

Floyd leaned nearer.
"Stanton, how did you feel? WhatT

His voice died out; he had a vague

coming toward him.
"I had to make the doctor steady

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

coolness extinguished the flame-llke

“ What a position for you and me!

"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
