A $10 BARGAIN
for several years there has been a demand for a
$10 harness that the retail dealer could not' sell for
that amount To meet this demand Have made 100
'sets of single buggy harness that I will self complete
for only $1Q This is cheaper than the store-keeper
can buy a single set from the factory You will save
$250 on every set of this harness which means a
saving of $25000 on the Too sets Do not' fail to see
this harness It is a hummer

"Withdraw!"
"Precisely And- desire David to-
come' here" '
won’t" laid Dick flatly "Hyou:
want to rub It into Lestrange that-
way send Bailey And I say it-!
oonfounded sham” '
"Richard 1
- His round face abldze-DICK thVost
his hands In his pockets facing his
uncle Btubbornly
“After his Bplendld fight to stop him
now? Do you know how they take be-
ing put out those fellows?' Why
when the Italian car went off the track
for-good last night with Its chain
tangled up with everything under-
neath Its driver sat dowmian&'crtedr
And you'd come down on Lestrange
when he’s -winning — I won't doltj
I won’t! Send Bailey I can’t tell
him”
"If you want-to discredit the car
and Its driver Mr Ffrench you-- can
do It without me” slowly added Bai-
ley “But It won’t be any use to send
for Mr David because he won’t
come”
The autocrat off his little world
looked from one rebel- to the other
confounded with the unprecedented
“If I wish to withdraw him It Is to
place him out of danger” ha retorted
with asperity "Not because I wish to
mortify him naturally Is that clear?
Does he want to pass the next thirteen
hours under this ordeal?"
"I’ll tell you what he wants"" an-
swered Dick “He wants to be let
alone It seems to me he’s earned
that”
Ethan Ffrenclx opened his lips and
closed them again without speech1 It
had not been his life’s-habit to let
people alone and the art was acquired
with' difficulty
“I admit I do not comprehend' the
feelings you describe” he conceded at
last “But there Is one person who
has the right to decide whether David
shall continue this risk of hie life
Emily do you wish the car with-
drawn?’' There- was a gasp from the other
two men
"I?” the young girl exclaimed
amazed "I can call him here-— eafe — ”
Her -voice died out as Lestrange’
car roared past overtaking two rivals
on the turn and sliding between them
with an audacity that provoked rounds
of applause from the spectators To i
call him In from that to have-hlm eafe
with her— the mere thought was a de-
light that caught her breath Yet she
knew Lestrange
The three men watched her in keen
suspense The Mercury car had’
passed twice again before she raised
her head and In that space of a bun-
dred seconds Emily reaehed the final
unselfishness
"What David wants” she said
"Uncle what David wants"
"You’re a brick!” cried Dick lfc a
passion of relief "Emily- you’re a -brick!"
She looked at him with eyes he
never forgot
"If anything happens to him I hope
I die too” she answered endedsew
the silk velLaaross her face
“Go back Mr Dick you’re no good
here” advised Bailey in the pause'
"I guess Miss Emily Is right Mr
Ffrench we’ve got nothing to do but weDt
look on for David Ffrench was wiped their
out to-maku Darling Lestrange" 1
Having left the decision to Emily
It was In character that her uncle of-
fered no remonstrance when she dis-
appointed his wish
When Lestrange came into bis
camp for -oil and -gasolene near eight
o’clock Dick seized the brief halt the
first in three hours
"Emily’s-up In the stand”"he an-
nounced "Send her a word old man
and don’t get reckless tn front lof her”"
"Emily?" eeboed Lestrange too
weary for astonishment "Give me
pencil No I can’t take off my gaunbi
let it’a glued fast HI manage Ru-
pert go take an- hour's rest and send
me- the other mechanician"
T can’t get off my car It’s glned
fast" Rupert confided leaning - over
the back of the machine to appropri-
ate a sandwich from the basket a man
was carrying to the 'neighboring camp
“OOoen with ypun cerraepondenatt
I '"He 'was "out TTBaln on the track
when Dick brought the message to
Emily v-
"I Just told him you were here-
oonrdn’"be whispered In her ear and
dropped' the card tn her lap
“I’ll enjoy this more than ever with
you here" she read "It’s the right
place for my girl I’ll give you the
cup for our first dinner table tonight
“DAVID"
Emily lifted her face The tragedy
of the scene was gone Lestrange’s
eyes laughed at her out of a mist The
sky was blue the sunshine golden
the merry crowds commencing to pour
In -woke carnival In her heart
"He said to tell you the machine
waa running magnificently” supple-
mented Blclti "and hot to Insult his
veteran reputation by getting nervous
He’s coming by — look
He waa ooraljg by and although
unable to look toward the grand-stand
he raised his hand in salute as he
passed to the one he knew was
watching Emily flushed rosily her
dark eyes warm and shining
"I can- wait” she sighed gratefully
"Dickie? Dean wait until it ends
now’"
Dick went back
The hours passed One more car
wentout'of-the race under the grind-
ing test there were the usual inci-
dent:' of blown-out tires and temporary-withdrawals
for repairs Twice
MTr Ffrench: sen' his partner-and Emily-
to ths-restauran t below tolerating
his saati Perfectly composed his ex-
pression perfectly self-contained he
watched’his sen
The day grew unbearably hot- to-
ward afternoon a heat rather of July
than June After a visit to his camp
Lestrange reappeared without the suf-
focating mask and cap driving hare
headed with only the narrow goggles
crossing his face: The change left
visible the dTawn pallor of exhaus-
tion under stains of dust and oil his
rolled-back Bleeves disclosed the crim-
son badge on his right arm and the
fact that his left wrist was tightly
wound with linen where swollen and
strained muscles rebelled at the loug
trial
"He's been driving for nineteen
hours” said Dick climbing up to bis
party through the excited crowd "Two
hours more to six o’clock Listen to
the mob when he passes!”
The Injunction was unnecessary As
the sun slanted low thd" enthusiasm
grew to fever This was a crowd of
connoisseurs — motorists chauffeurs
automobile lovers and:- drivers — they
knew what was being- done before
them The word passed that Le-
strange was In his twentieth hour
people climbed on seats to cheer him
as he passed by When one of his
tires blew out In the opening of the
first hour of his driving and the twenty-fourth
of the race the great shout
of sympathy and encouragement that
went up shook the grand-stand to itB
cement foundations
Neither Lestrange nor Rupert left
his seat while that tire was changed
"If we did II ain’t sure we’d get
back” Rupert' explatned to Dick who

hovered around them agitatedly "If
I’d thought Darling’s mechanician
would get In for this I’d have taken
In sewing for a living How much
longer?”
"Half an hour’!
"Well watch'-us finish’'
A renewed burst of applause greet-
ed the Mercury car's return to the
track Men were standing watch in
hand to count the last moments their
eyes outbe bulletin board where the
reeled-off tulles were being registered
Two of the other machines were fight-
ing desperately for second place hope-
less of rivaling Lestrange and after
them sped the rest
“The finish!" some one suddenly
called "The last lap!”
Dick was banging over the paddock
fence when the car shot by amidst
braying klaxons motor horns cheers
and the clashing music of the band
Frantic the people hailed Lestrange
as the black and white checked flag
dropped before him In proclamation
of his victory and the ended race
Rupert raised his arms above his
head in the signal of acknowledg
ment as they flew across the line and
on to complete the circle to
camp Lestrange slackened
speed to take the dangerons deeply
furrowed turn for the last time his
car poised for the curving flight un-
der his guidance — then the watching
hundreds saw the driver’s hands slip
from the steering-wheel ns he reached
for the brake Straight' across the
track the machine dashed Instead of
following the bend crashed through
the barrier"and yelled nveriou its side
In the green meadow grass
"The steering-knuckle!” Bailey
groaned as the place burst Into up-
roar around them "The wheel— I saw
1 -tarn -uselessly In his hands!”
"They’rs-up!" cried s dozen voices
"No one's up - and one’s under"
"Who’S caught r tn the wreck— Le-
strange orhla man?"’
But before the peopld--who- surged
ever the track breaking all restraint
before the electrie ambulance Dldk’
Ffrench reached the marred thing
that had' haem the Mercury” car II
waiLfcstrmnge" vfeo had painfully
struggled to onekhee beside the ms-
cblne fighting hard for- hreatk tep
spchX - - -
"Take the car off Rupert!” he pant-
ed at Dick’s cry of relief on seeing
him ’Tm all right— take the car-off
Rupert"
The next instant they were sur-
rounded overwhelmed with eager aid
The ambulance came up and a but-
geon precipitated himself toward Le-
strange "Stand back” the- surgeon com-
manded generally "Are you trying
to smother him?- Stand back”
But It was he who halted before a
gesture from Lestrange who leaned
on Dick and a comrade from the
camp
"Go over there to Rupert”’
"You first — ”
"No"
There was nothing to- do except
yield Shrugging his shoulders the
surgeon paused the- necessary mo-
ment A moment only there was
no protests but he himself never left
scattering of the hushed workers a
metallic crash
From the space the car had cov-
ered a small figure uncoiled lizard-
tike and staggered unsteadily erect
“Where’s Darling Lestrange?" wan
hurled viciously- across the sfisnoa
"Gee you’re a slow bunch of work-
ers 1 Where’s Lestrange??
The tumult that broke loose swept
all to confusion And after all It waa
Lestrange who - was put In the sur-
geon’s care while Rupert rode hack-
to the camp on the driver’s Beat of
the ambulance
“Tell Emily I’ll come over to her as
soon as I’m fit to look at" was the
message Lestrange gave DJck “And
when you go back to the factory
have - your- steering-knuckles strength-
ened" Dick exceeded his commission by-
transmitting the speech entire re-
peating the first part to Emily with
all affectionate solicitude and flinging
the second cuttingly at his uncle and
Bailey
"The doctors say he ought to be In
bed but he won’t go” he concluded
"No you can’t see him until they get
through patching him up at the hos-
pital iteot they put every one out ex-
cept Rupert He hasn’t a scratch aft-
er having a ninety Mercury on top of
Mitt: You're to come oven to our!
camp Emily and wait for Lestrange
I suppose- everybody had better
come”
It was a curious and an elevating
thing to see Dickie assume command
of his family but no one demurred:
An official recognizing- in him Le--Strange’s
manager cleared a way for
the party through the noisy press of
departing people and automobiles
The sunset had long faded night
had settled over the motordrome and
the electric lamps had been lit la the
tents before there came a stir and
murmur in the Mercury camp
“Don’t skid the ground's wet” cau-
tioned a voice outside the door
"Steady!"
Emily started up Dick sprang to
open the canvas and Lestrange cross-
ed the threshold Lestrange color-
less his right arm in a sling his left
wound with linen from wrist to elbow
and bearing a: heavy purple bruise
above his temple but with the bright-
ness of victory flashing above all
weariness like a dancing flame
“Swcd-heart!” he laughed as
Emily ran to meet him heedless of
all things except that he stood within
touch cace- more “My dear 1 told
them not to frighten you Why
Emily—”
For as he put his one available arm
about her she-hid her-wet eyes on
his shoulder
”1 am so harpy” she explained-
breathlessly ’ It is oirfy that”
"You should not have been here at
all my dear But It Is good to see
you Who brought you? Bailey?"
catching sight of the man beside-Dick
"Good I wanted some one1 to help me
Rupert and I have got to find a hotel
and wolreirtjt very active”
Emily would have slipped away
from the clasp scarlet with returning
recollection but Lestrange detained
her to meet his shining eyes
“The race Is over” he reminded
for her ears alone "I’m going to-
keep you If you’ll stay"
He turned to take a limping step
offering his hand cordially to the
speechless Bailey and faced for the
first' time the other man present
"I think” said Ethan Ffrench “that
there need be no question of hotels
We have not understood each other
but you i have the right to Ffrench-
wood's hospitality If you can travel
we will go there”
"No"’ answered David Ffrench as
quietly "Never You owe me noth-
ing sir If I have worked in your
factory I took the workman's wages
for It If I have won honors for your
car I also won the prize-money given
to j the driver I -never meant so to
establish any claim upon Ffrench-
wood or you I believe we stand even
Dick has taken my place happily
Emily and I will go on our own road"
They looked at each other the like-
ness between them most apparent in
the similar determination of mood
which wiped laughter and warmth
from the younger man's face How-
ever coldly phrased and dlctatorlally
spoken it was an apology which Mr
Ffrench had offered' sad which had
been declined But — he had watched

Lsstrange all day he did not lift the
gauntlet
"You are- perfectly free” he con-
ceded "which gives you the opportun-
ity of being generous"
His son moved flushing through
his pallor
"I wish you would not put It that
way sir” h objected
"There is no other way I have
teen wrong and I have no control
over you will you come home?”
There was no other argument but-
that that could have succeeded and
the three who knew Lestrango knew
that could not-falL
"Yon want me because I am a
Ffrench” David-rebelled- In the final
protest “You have a substitute-
"Perhaps I want you otherwise And
we will not 'speak in passion there
caw be no substittrte for you"
"Ffrench and Ffrench” murmured
Dick coaxlngly "We can run that
factory Lestrange!”
"There's more than steering-
knuckles needing your eye on them
And yos love the- place Mr r David”
said -Bailey from his corneri
From one to the other David’s
glance went to -rest on Emily's -delicate
earnest face In its setting of
yellow-bronze curls Full and straight
her dark eyes answered his the com
vent-bred Emily's answer to-his pride
and old’ resentment and new - reluc-
tance to yield his liberty
"After all you- were born a
Ffrench” she reminded her- soft so-
cents Just audible "If that is your-
work?"' Very slowly David' turned tor hi
father
"I never learned to do things by
halves’? he saldr- "If- you want BMl
sir—""
And Ethan Ffrench understood and'
first offered hi hand
Rupert was discovered' asleep In a-camp-chair-
outside the tent a fewr
minutes later when Dick went la
search of him -
? "The llmou rise’s 'waiting" his
awakener informed him "You donL-Met-badjde

The mechxnlcfan rose cautious
wincing
"Well If every Joint In my eh assist
wasn't sore I’d feel better” he sd-r
mltted grimly "But Pm still running
What did you kiss me awake fom
when I need my sleeps?"
"Did you suppose we could get Le
strange home without you Jack Ri
pert?"
"L ain’t supposing you couldL FDt

The rest of the party were already
In the big car with one exception
"Take a last look Rupert”
David as he stood In the- dark' pad-
dock "We’re retired come help
gfct used to It”
Rupert' passed'a glance over the dr
sorted track
"I guess my sentiment-tank has g!V
en out” he sweetly acknowledged-
“The Mercury factory sounds prettyi
good to me Darling And 1 gueaa wS
can make a Jey ride out of living o
any track If we enter for It"'
"I guess we can” laughed David
PTreuch "Get in opposite M”nFi
