CHAPTeR IV.—(Continued.)
Stanton, unruffled aa in th* New
York depot, except for hla wind tossed
hair, whoa* blackness waa flecked
with yellow road dual, leaned bark
to reclaim hla hat and Inquire their
destination. When he returned to the
usual method of driving with both
hands and facing forward. Miss Car
lisle had altogether recovered her
polae.
"Speaking of racing, 1 have never
thanked you for the other night.'' she
obaerved, her low tonea Inaudible to
thoae behind them. "I never experi-
enced anything like watching you on
the track—you carried me away be-
yond conventionality, I am afraid. And
to feel that 1 had a share in your be-
wildering feats—"
The ugly mood rose again in Stan-
ton.
"You need not have felt that re-
sponsibility," he declared. "My feats,
as you are pleased to call them, are
whared by no one. I drive for pur-
poses of my own."
She understood at once.
i "You mean that you did not race
with the Duplex because 1 wanted to
see your famous driving?"
He checked the machine to permit
the passage of a trolley-car.
"I had my mechanician beside me and
there were two men in the Duplex,"
was his oblique reply. "1 do not amuse
by brushing near assassination."
The retort was thoroughly Stanton-
esque. Miss Carlisle bent forward to
catch the slipping dust-robe, before
answering him, but gave an exclama-
tion as the motor abruptly fell silent.
"Oh, I am so sorry! The robe
•caught In the switch and moved it."
"It is nothing," he assured, stooping
to remedy the tangle, and sprang out
to crank the engine.
He had done this very act for Floyd,
two weeks before; only tfieh the stop-
page had been intentional. Stanton
was thinking of that incident, while
he bent to seize the crank, and not
of what he was doing. But he saw
Valerie Carlisle lean toward the
steering-wheel, her red lips apart and
Iier eyes glistening, just as he pulled
up the handle.
"Walt!" the girl cried, a second too
late.
There was a sharp explosion of the
motor, the crank tore itself violently
out of his hand. Only Stanton's
trained swiftness and instant recoil
saved him from a -broken wrist. As it
was, his arm fell momentarily numbed
at his side.
"You left the spark up," Miss Car-
lisle cried again, pale and shaken. "I
tried to fix it, but you had cranked.
Have you injured your arm?"
Mr. Carlisle had risen, several peo-
ple paused on the sidewalk, but Stan-
ton stood looking at the girl who
leaned across the folded wind-shield.
He, automobile expert, racing driver,
had advanced his spark and gone out
to crank his motor? His reason re-
belled. Yet, what other explanation?
"You have injured your arm? Why
was I so stupid as to catch the robe
and stop the engine!"
He recovered himself promptly.
"No, no, it is nothing, Miss Carlisle.
I am not hurt," he disclaimed.
But nevertheless he started the en-
gine with his left hand, her narrowed
amber eyes following him.
It was not far to the Carlisle place.
There Stanton declined every invi-
tation to remain, or even to enter,
firmly resolved to go on to Lowell by
the next train.
"We will be there tomorrow, also,"
Miss Carlisle informed him, in taking
' leave. "I am so grieved that you can-
not use your arm."
"You see I have used it to steer
and shift gears," he reminded.
"Yes, but you will not try to race
so hurt?"
That was what troubled her? The
fear that be would not drive and she
would miss the excitement of seeing
him on the thin verge of death? He»
beauty went out to his eyes like tb«
blo<tn flame of a candle.
"I shall race," he declared curtly.
He had an odd fancy as he went
down the village street; it occurred
to him that he would like to see
Floyd. He was tired, tired to nausea
of the feminine as represented by
Valerie Carlisle. He would have liked
/to hunt up his mechanician

CHAPTER V.

Floyd was sitting on a railing In

his ugliest Intonation.
Floyd slipped off the railing and
stood up. Ills expression flickering In
momentary hurprise.
"All rasdy." he answered, quietly
businesslike under tbe undeserved re-
buke.
"(Jet It oul, then."
The other men glanced slgnlflcantly
at one another
"Uood luck. Floyd." wished a slim
Italian driver, whose reputation
equaled Stanton's own, as he turned
sway.
The Mercury car was out already.
One of the factory men cranked It.
after Stanton took his seat. Kloyd was
moving to take tbe place bepide, when
his eyes fell on the driver's bandagrd
-wrist.
"What's up?" Stanton demanded, at
tbe exclamation.
You have hurt your arm?"
Slightly. I cranked an Atalanta
Six yesterday with my spark ad-
vanced."
Tbe mechanician stopped with one
foot on the car, looking at him.
"1 set my spark forward and went
around in front and cranked up and
wrenched my arm," Stanton explicitly
repeated.
Floyd regarded him blankly, then
slowly dissolved Into a smile of hu-
morous comprehension and stepped
into the car.
"I had no right to ask, of course,"
he agreed. "I beg your pardon.
Curious people should expect to hear
nonsense."
Kloyd believed himself put off with
an obvious tale, as one reproves a
too-importunate child, so Impossible
he considered such carelessness. And
Stanton wholly coincided with his
judgment. Only, the fact remained.
The little episode had relieved the
atmosphere, however, and restored
naturalness of speech. They shot down
the course, in the sweet country air,
and the day's work had commenced.
Then Stanton had his first exhibition
of what Floyd called tuning up his
motor.
"Got her all the way up?" shouted
the mechanician, when they let out on
the first straight stretch.
Stanton nodded, fully occupied: the
speedometer waa Indicating eighty-
four miles an hour.
"Stop her—she needs fixing."
It was Floyd's hour of empire. Stan-
ton brought his car to a halt In an ap-
propriate situation, and the mechani-
cian sprang out to investigate the un-
hooded power-plant.
"Now we'll try. She is good for
ninety an hour," he panted, returning.
Stanton accordingly restarted.
They spent the morning so; speed-
ing furiously, stopping for Floyd to
fuss with one thing or another, watch-
ing the speedometer. Floyd listened
to the engine as to a speaking voice,
translating its plaint unerringly and
going to remedy the cause. As the as-

Fljyd glanced up, a ripple of incred-
ulous amusement crossing his gray
eyes, but he said nothing.
"At least, I set the spark as I be-

irg the effect, "and when I cranked,
the motor fired over. The person who

took the carafe of ice-water and him-
self filled two glasses.
"Is this your substitute for cock-
tails?" he queried, and pushed one of
the goblets over to Floyd.'
Startled, Floyd yet understood,
smiling as he looked across.
"Yes," he assented, and drank the
innocent pledge. Motorists both,
there was no question of a stronger
beverage.
Stanton turned to the waiter,
"You can go; I'll ring when wc want
you. Did you ever drive an Atalanta
Six-sixty, Floyd?" .
"No, but I've handled their fours. I
like a six cylinder machine,*, myself; it
has so fine a torque—"
The conversation plunged into pro-
fessional technicalities; the senti-
mental episode was pushed aside.
People going in and out of the res-
taurant stared interestedly at the two
exchanging comments and questions.
"How is she doing?" inquired Mr. fStanton's dark face was well-known,
Green. "You made that last circuit a | and a face not easily forgotten, while
record breaker, I can tell you."
"Up to ninety-two miles an hour,"
Stanton reported with brevity. "It
never did so well before. Get out,
Floyd."
Floyd got out. flushed, tired, his
heavy hair clinging in damp rings to
his temples, but sunnily content. Mr.
Green contemplated him anxiously; he
had heard an account of Stanton's
morning greeting to his mechanician,
and he was not pleased at the pros-
pect of having to find anotner man to
fill his place.
"How." he hesitated, testing his
way, "how are you—er—feeling,
Floyd?"
"Hungry," answered Floyd, prompt-
ly and unexpectedly.
The boyish freshness of it brought a
smile to the lips of every one witbin
bearing. The aseistsvnt manager
luckled outright in his relief.

his companion's dress sufficiently
identified him as one of the racers
who held the city's attention during
the motor carnival.
When the dessert was before them,
Stanton suddenly returned to the per-
sonal note.
"How did you become a finished
automobile expert by the age of twen-
ty-one?" he questioned bluntly.
"Well, I believe you are only five
or six years older," Floyd countered,
with a touch of whimsical sadness.
"'But—I grew up in an automobile fac-
tory. I had no mother, no kinswomen
at alt, and my father made me his
constant companion. He taught me
everything he knew, and he—well, he
