t"he middle of the n:ul. ten feet from
the culvert, the old wtnimti strucvled
frauUcully to pet Uer cart out of the.
way. The howl of the siren frightened
her perhaps, for she went to the wrong
Bide. Then the shriek of the machine
rtrowned the human scream as the au
tomobile struck.
The great machine left tbe road for
ttie fields on tbe right, reared, fell,
leaped against tbe stone side of tbe
culTcrt, apparently trying to climb It.
stood straight on end, whirled back
ward In & half somersault, crashed
over on Its side. Gashed with flame and
explosion and lay hidden under a
cloud of dust nnd smoke.
The peasant's cart, tossed Into a

pair of smashed goggles crunched te
ncath my foot as 1 sprang nut of
Ward's car. and a big bras lamp hail
fallen In the middle of tbe road, crum
pled like waste paper. Bexlrit It lay n
gold rouxe box.
Tbe old woman bad somehow saved
nenielf. or pvrbaps ber saint bad help
ed her. for she was sitting in tbe
grass by the roadside wulliug bysier
lcally and quite unhurt. The body l
a man lay ta a heap teueatb the stunt
archway, aud from bis clothes I gue
ed that he had been the driver f the
white car. 1 say "had Iweu" Ihtiiiisc
there were reasons for needing u st
oud glance to comprehend thut me
man was dead.
Ward meanwhile was dragging a wo
man out of the wreck, and after a mo
ment I went to help him enrry her Into
the fresh air She pushed our hands
angrily aside and completed the tiiiian
glement herself, reveallug the xrmteti
ed and smeared face of Mariana, tlx
dancer
"Oh. the pit hi r she cried. "That Im
becile! If he has let me break my U'-j.'.
K pretty dancer t should l! I hope
he Is killed!"
Another automobile hid already come
up. and the occupants were hastily
ullghtlng. Ward shouted to the fore
most to go for a doctor.
"I am a doctor." the man answered,
advancing and. kneeling quickly by Hie
dancer. "And you you may be or
help yonder."
We turned toward the ruined car.
where Ward's driver waa shouting r .-
us.
"What la ItT called Ward as we run
toward blm.
"Monsieur." be replied, "ihere i
some one uudor tbe touueuu here!"
I'roni beneath tbe iverturiicd ton
tieau projected the lower part of a
man's leg chid In a brown puttee ami
a russet shoe. Word's driver had
brought lila tools, had jacked up the
carpus high as possible, hut was still
unable to release tbe imprisoned Isxlv.
After considerable effort wo res.-ued
theMmprisoned body, which stirred In
polo.
I found that 1 was looking almo-i
straight down Into the upturned face
of arrabee Hvrniaa, anil I cannot bel
ter express what this man had come to
be and what tb degradation of tils life
bud written upn hlui than by saying
that tbe dreadful thing 1 looked upon
now was no mrc horrible a slghi than
the face I bad mmiii. truth frui the
valet and wnldlsg ha ugly pride at the
Biurern, as he pMl tin trrc of
Larue on tbe day before the Grand
Prix.
We helped to ears blm to the doc
tor's car and to lift the dancer Uito
Ward's and to get both of them out
again at the hospital at Versailles
where they were taken.
"Old It neem to you." said George
finally, "that a roan so frightfully lu
Jurcd could havo any chance of 'getting
well?"
fNo," I unswored. "I thought h.
was dying aa we carried him Into the
hospital."
"So did I. The top of his head seem
ed all crushed In. Whew!" After a
pause he added thoughtfully, "It will
be a great thing for Louise."
Louise was the uame of his second
cousin, the girl who had done battle
with all her family and then run away
from them to be I.nrmtce. Uarman's
wife. Hememberlug tbe stir that her
application for divorce bad made. I
did uot understand bow Harmnu's
death could benefit her. unless George
had some reason to believe that be bad I
made a will In ber favor. However, '
the remark had been made more to
himself than to me, and I did uot re-1
spond.
Tho morning papers dared onc
more with tbe name of Larrabee Bar
man. aud we read thut he was linger
ing. And the dancer had been right.
One of ber legs was badly broken.
She would never dance again.
A great many people keep tbelrfrleuds

"It Is occupied thts season by some

"How do you know tbey are rich?"
"Dleu de Dleu!" Thoold fellow ap
pealed to heaven. "Rut they are Amer

I ly, Amedee."
"Perfectly, monsieur. Perhaps mo

"Yes. I know tbem."
"Truly!" He affected dejection.
"Aud poor Mme. Itrossard thought
monsieur had returned to our old hotel
because he liked It and remembered

and old Gaston's cooking!"
"Do uot weep. Amedee." I said. "I

a short note wrltteu at tbe request of
his sister, asklug me to be on tbe
lookout for ttalluu earrings to add
to ber collection of old Jewels. So
from time to time I scut ber what I
could find about Capri or lu Naples,
and she responded with neat little
letters of acknowledgment.
' Miss Blltattetb had mcutloucd In one
of her notes that Ward hud leased j

a tine day when I. knowing that tbe thought It wise to leave auy eucoun-
horse chestnuts were In bloom along
tbe Cbuuips Elysoes. threw my rope
soled shoes to u beggar, packed a
rusty trunk and was off for tbe banks
of tbe Seine.
At tbe end or a fortnight I went
over into Normandy and deposited
that rusty trunk of mine In a corner
of tbe summer pavilion lu tbe court
yard of Mme. Brossard's Inn. Les Trols

through a proline summer or my youth,
and I was glad to nnd, as I had hoped,

Is grotesque, but Amedee Is tbe most
