been living in a lone!}, silent room,
when unexpectedly some one opened
the door and entered.
“I'm too busy." he retorted only, but
his tone conveyed no rebuke.
They walked cm down the room and
out Into the train shed. They were
almost at the train itself, when Floyd

grace toward them.

the maid.
“There is no need for you to go,”
Siantcm checked, as Floyd moved to
continue on his way. "Stay here."
He waa obeyed without comment.
Floyd Was Seated on One of tho

Tho maid respeetfuhy withdrew a few

Her manner was that of one meet

could have guessed bow unconven

”1 am going to Massachusetts,*' Stan

"To Massachusetts* But so aro
we! At least, we had everything ar
ranged to motor out to our country

she broke the sentence, her large

liberate- question and scrutiny.

presentation.

"Tear raw-haul' an? Is St possible?

“I wanted to ask you of the race.
Miss Carlisle said, when th®y were
quite at the end of the long platform.
The speech remained unfinished.
There was a shouted order, the cough
of the locomotive mingled with the
ring and jangle of tightening coup
lings, and the Lowell express pulled
out of the shod. Stanton wheeled with
an ejaculation, but halted without at
tempting useless pursuit.

. instant he could have been cer
| yin that she had c me this ir.testion
-Ily and by a pre-arranged plan. But
xi once reason reclaimed him; he re
-alled her breeding, her father’s high
position and wealth, her composed
worldliness, and ridiculed himself.
“Since I have made you miss your
train, and missed my own, I can only
repeat my former suggestion,” she
added, as he did not speak. “Why
should you not come with my father
and me in our car? It is only a three
or 4.cur hour trip, and you will be so
much nearer Lowell, at least. I am
sorry our chauffeur is ill, so I am
forced to ask you to drive. Of course,
if you fear tiring yourself for a race
day after tomorrow—”
Stanton started to speak, then ab
ruptly shrugged bis shoulders. After
all, why not?
“Thank you,” he returned. “I
scarcely think a seveniv-tive mile
run will incapacitate me.”
“You will come?” Her amber eyes
gk-amed vividly. “You are ; o good.
Let us find my father and the car. It
is at least a car worthy of you—a
hi-tier than the Mercury, I confess to
thinking.”
“A foreign machine?”
“N’o. an Atalanta Six. Martha, find
pupa in the station and ask him to
come out to the car.”
They emerLcd by a side exit into

“Is it not well designed, v ■ 11

“Only that? You r: y only Irf? Tut

papa comes we can star;.’’
Mr. Carlisle was coming; a ipure
| nervous gentleman who wore glasses
set on a Roman nose, from which they
-lipp'd monotcnoualy. He and Stan
ton had once met at the Mercury of
fice. where one was arranging for a
•ire centract, and the other waa sign
ing an agreement lo drive ter the
nti02. They recogtiiard each mher
j no*-, while Miss Carlisle concisely
j outlined the situaticn.
“A most astonishing affair.” com
:nen:ed her father. “Very kind ol
you. Mr. Stanton, Indeed. These rail
road men are careless. Valerie—”
Miss Carlisle declined the invitation
to enter the tonneau.
“I shall ride beside Mr. S-aaton,*
she announced. ‘1 wish to see expert
driving at close range, for once.”
“Ah?” queried Stanton: suddoly
the conviction that she had done thit
purposely flared up anew, and with
it his anger. She would have a rac
ing driver for her chauffeur? Very
well. He swung into the seat.
Cntil they were out of the city, hs
drove with a wise obedience to traffic
regulations. But when the country
line was reached. Stanton stopped
the car. donned a small pair of gog
gles from his overcoat pocket, ar.d

little too pleasantly. “Still we wil]
| manage.”
They made the next ten miles in
* ten minutes, having a fair road. Then
! rough hills and villages somewhat
1 lowered their pace. It was a dizzying
rush through a gale of wind, a birdiike
cleaving of the summer air, accompa
nied by the weird howl of the electric
horn upon which Stanton kept a fin
ger much of the time, a vision of scat
tering wagons.
There was a curious circumstance,
i Valerie Carlisle literally cowered in
her seat, pale, shivering, usually with
1 her eyes shut. Yet she, the imperious
demander of her own way, uttered no
remonstrance, although faintly crying
out once or twice when they slid by
some obvious danger of cliff or road
Stanton saw, from the corner of his
j eye, and speculated as he drove.
"Do you think this is safe?” Mr. Car
lisle found an opportunity to urge.
“1 think ao, If nothing breaks.” Stan
i ton called back, twisting the cat
! around a load of hay.
I They reached their destination in
two hours and ten minutes. When
they entered the village limits and
the speed fell to fifteen miles an
hour, Mr. Carlisle slowly revived, and
regained his breath and his glasses.
His daughter released her grasp of the
seat, raised a shaking hand to touch
veils and bonnet, then passed a hand
kerchief across her dry Ups and
looked up at the man beside her.
"How do you like the car?” she
asked
Stanton surveyed her, almost sur
prised into compunction.

isT a trifle Tieavy and less lively. But
it is a fine machine, and of course you

“Of course I do not want to race
with it,” she slowly assented, and
averted her face from him. watch
ing the streets.
Stanton, unruffled as in tne New
York depot, except for his wind-tossed
hair, whose blackness was flecked
with yellow road dust, leaned back
to reclaim his hat and inouire t'-.o:r
destination. When be returned to the
usual method of iriving with noth
hands and facing forward. Miss Car
lisle had altogether recovered hi-r
poise.
"Speaking or racing, I have nevi-r
thanked you for the ether night,” she
observed, uer low tones inaudible to
those behind them. “I never experi
enced anything like w?f- liiiig you on
the track—you c; rri .1 no rrxav be
yond conventionality. 1 a ■ afraid. And

The ugly mood ros > again in C tau

as you are please<! to call them, are
shared by no one. I olive for pur
poses cf my ov.-n.”
She understood at once.
“You mean tliai 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-ear.
“I had my mechanician beside me and
there were two men in the Duplex,”
• ss his oblique reply. “I do net amuse
by brushing near assassination.”
The retort was thoroughly Stanton
esque. Miss Carlisle bent forward to
catch the slipping dust-robe, before
answering hitr., but gave an exclama
tion as tiie 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 .cfore; only then the stop
page had been Intentional. Stanton
was thinking of that incident, while
he bent to seize the crank, and not
cf what be was doing. But he saw
Valerie Carlisle lean toward the
. teering-wheel, her red lips apart and
her eyes glistening, just as he pulled
up the handle.
"Wait!” the girl cried, a second too
late.
There was a sharp explosion of the
mo:cr, the crank tore itself violently
cut 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
| ;;t his side,
“You left the spark up," Miss Car
I lisle cried again, pale and shaken. “I
j tried to fix It, but you had cranked.
Have you injured your arm?"
Mr. Carlisle bad risen, several peo
ple paused on the sidewalk, but Stan
ton stood looking at the girl who
' leaned across the folded wind-shield,
i He, automobile expert, racing driver,
| had advanced his spark and gone out
to crank his motor? His reason re
belled. Yet, what other explanation?
“Yrou 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 nevertheleas 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 lnvl
I tation to remain, or even to enter,
firmly resolved M 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
i and shift gears,” he reminded.
“Yes, but you will not try to race
' so hurt?”
That was what troubled her? The
fear that he would not drive and she
would miss the excitement of seeing
him on the thin verge of death? Her
beauty went out to his eyes like the
Llown 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

CHAPTER V.
Tuning Up.
Floyd was sitting on a railing la
■oat of the repair pits, when Stanton
roe cut to the ecurse next morning,
gr ~rd in chatting airily with a cou
cf jovial drivers from rival cars,
'e v. cs laughing, and so were the twe
rtn. Clad in correct racing costume,
'-‘i time, instead of the impromptu
'•■tend of the former occasion, bia
bright head tilted back, his gray eyes
■irthful, Floyd vaguely suggested a
.ertain charming actress and a vt.
.radical Peter Pan who refused to
grow up.
S«antoq paused in -Lhe -----*<iw .j
survey the froup. So Floyd knew the
other men, and was liked by them?
He had not been aware of that: he
d opposed his mechanician to ba as
unsocial and unfriend-making as him
self. Amid the mingling sounds of
cars testing and starting out oh prac
tice runs, of busy workmen and me
chanics, he could hear little of what
was said; but the bursts of laughter
came to him, and as a climax he saw
George of the Duplex lean forward
and slap Floyd caressingly on the
; shoulder.
"Til come to your funeral, sweet
child." the big, good-humored driver
chaffed, by way of adieu, his boister
ous tones carrying above the complex
din. •‘You’re too awfully dear to
stay in this hard life."
Floyd’s reply was Inaudible, but he
wafted the other a mocking salute,
and there was a shout of merriment.
Something fire-hot pierced Stanton;
for the first time in bis life he felt
the stab of jealousy. Jealousy, not of
the exquisite Valerie Carlisle, not of
some fellow-driver’s fame, but of his
hired mechanician.
iuc giuup, aireauy ureaaiug up,
drew apart at Stanton's approach,
nodding grgetln^to him. Put, beyond

all except Floyd, opposite whom he
stopped.
“You seem to have nothing to do;
is the machine ready?” he flung, with
his ugliest intonation.
Floyd slipped oft the railing and
stood up, his expression flickering in
momentary surprise.
"All ready,” he answered, quietly
businesslike under the undeserved re
buke.
“Get it out, then.”
The other men glanced significantly
at one another.
“Good luck, Floyd,” wished a slim
Italian driver, whose reputation
equaled Stanton's own, as he turned
away.
The Mercury ear was out already.
One of the factory men cranked it,
after Stanton took his seat. Floyd was
moving to take the place beside, when
his eyes fell on the driver’s bandaged
wrist.
“What’s up?” Stanton demanded, at
the exclamation.
“You have hurt yo-r arm?”
"Slightly. I cranked an Atalanta
Six yesterday with my spark ad
vanced.”
The mechanician stopped with one
foot on the car, looking at him.
“I 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.
“T hod no right to ask, of course,”
lie agreed. “I beg your pardon.
Curious people should expect to hear
nonsense.”
Floyd believed himself pat off with
an obvious tale, as cne reproves a
too-i.nportunate child, so impossible
lie 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 speec h. 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
met or.
“Got her all the way up?” shouted
the mechanician, when they let out on
the first straight stretch.
Stanton nodded, fully occupied; the
speedometer was indicating eighty
fcur miles an hour.
“Step 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
heeded 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
sistant manager bad said, he was a
gasolene freak, a clairvoyant magician
of delicate touches and manipulation.
At twelve o’clock the Mercury came
to its camp and stepped.
“How is she doing?” inquired Mr.
Green. “You made that last circuit a
record breaker, f can tell yon.”
“Up to ninety-two miles an hour,”
Stanton reported with brevity. “It
never did »o well before. Get out,
Floyd.”
Flcyd got out, flushed, tired, bis
heavy hair clinging in damp ring^ to
his temples, but sunnily content. Mr.
Green contemplated him anxiously; be
had heard an account of Stanton*
morning greeting to his mechanician,,
and he was not pleased at the pros
pect of having to find another man to
£11 his place.
“How,” he hesitated, testing his
way, “how are you—er—feeling,
Floyd?”
“Hungry,” answered Floyd, p; om/ t
ly ar.d unexpectedly.

“I have got one,” was the serene
return.
“You have? Can I ask what she

“Jubt like me; wn're twins,” be re

the Mercury.

LOOK TO THE BABY’S TEETH
They Mutt Be Cared for to Give the
Uttle One Health and
Comfort.
If you were to put one good apple
into a basket of bad ones, what would
happen to that apple? It would decay,
of course. Tet, you parents are al
lowing something far more precious
and of a life value to your child to de-1
cay because of neglect.
What do I mean? Just this—you are
allowing that child, who does not know
what he is doing, to neglect his teeth,
and you say: "It’s only his baby teeth;
he will soon shed them.” Do yon
know that when he Is six years old a
permanent jaw-tocth. or six-yeai
molar, as they are called, will come
in just back of his baby teeth? It is
often mistaken tor a baby tooth, and
consequently it is neglected. He
never sheds that tooth, and it is th6
most imporcint one in his mouth.
If it comes into a dirty, uncared
for mouth, where every other tooth is
decayed, <b>cso’t It strad to reason It
will decay; also? "Oh, well,” you say,
“it's just cm tooth; pull it out.” Why
not say: “Oh. well. It's just one eye;
take it out; he can see with the,
other?”
Aacther reason for earing for baby
teeth is to give the child comfort ’
With ordinary t are a child need never

fear of the dentist. From the time a
child is three ytsars old a dentist

which he says he has withdrawn from
the tooth, and which, was causing the
ache. This procedure, so we are told,
usually stops the ache.
These primitive methods are a fa:
cry from the scientific attitude of the
profession today, yet t ost cf the ir.
provement has been trcnrht about .
in the last one hundret. years.
The causes of this rapid develop
ment have been ninny, the rap:.'
growth of knowledge in ether lines
or work, the formnticn oi dental col
leges, the invention and manufacture
of useful instruments, ar.d the scien
tific study of the mouth ani its dis
eases.
There is one other thing which has
brought about this marvelous growth
which is perhaps more important than
ail the otuer causes, combined, and
that is tbe professional spirit.
It used to be the thing, if a dentist
mace an improvement, to hide it from
his brother dentist, so that he might
reap the benefit alone. Many a se
cret. or invention, has died with tho
dentist originating it. In time this
profession began to progress by leaps

covers anything new that is good,
he carries it to his society and ex
plains it to every one, so that all may
get the benefit. He goes to the con
vention with one new idea and brings
hack a hundred, and both he and the
public are benefited!

Loup City 4, Ravenna 3
Our Loup City boys certainly wiped
out a goodly number of their past
defeats last Thursday afternoon by
defeating Ravenna by a score of 4 to 3,
in a hardly-fought closely contested
14 inning game. The game was a
most interesting one from start to
linisli, and it w as only in the last half
of the fourteenth inning that the
home team scored the deciding tally
which gave them the best and most ■ .. -r
closely contested game of the season.
L>o it some more, boys: Following is
the score.
