CHAPTER X.
An Interval.
t was on the second day after hla
In New York that Stanton
ii - ;,en Jessica Floyd. This time
... mrr° confidently ud the stairs
■ th" nnlet apartment house, sure of
its right.
As before. the little old Irishwoman
.<1 la black silk was waiting to ad
' him: as before, he could have
crl -d out in the wonder of seeing this
c rl who turned F’ovd’s candid face
> him and smiled with Floyd's gray
e’er. Only, this afternoon Jessicia
did not rise from the piano seat to
ifeet him. but from a chair near a
window.
“Jos is away again.” she regretted,
giving him her hand.
“I came to see you. by his permls
on.*' Stanton returned.
The rich color flushed under her
marvelous skin, that was like no other
soman's he had ever seen. Floyd dif
fered there, man from girl, bis com
plexion being much darker and less
translucent.
"It is too early to glTe you tea and
cike.” she told him, with a playfulness
partly shy. “But If you will talk to
me for half an hour, It will he after
four o'clock and I can offer you hos
pitality.
“What shall I talk to you about?” ha
doubted. “I am batter at listening, 1
think."
"Oh. anything, everything. Suppose
1 were Jes; I like what he Ukee, rac
ing. factories, motor-cars.”
Although the season was early, a
f re burned In the tiny hearth, on
1 either side of which they were seated.
| facing each other. In the ruddy light
Stanton contemplated the smiling girl,
in her pale-blue gown with Its lace
rul&es foaming around her full young
throat and falling low across her
Lands.
“Your brother has told you of the
business partnership that we plan for
this winter. Miss Floyd?"
She nodded her bronze-crowned
head.
“Yes: 1 am very glad.”
“Did be.” a sudden fancy prompted
the ^Section, “did he tell you that I
was coming here to see you. If I
might?”
“Did he know of It?" she asked in
counter-question.
Floyd had kept the confidence given
liim. then, although no formal re
straint had been made. The expres
sion that crossed Stanton's dark face
was warm and very gentle.
“He knew, yes. I wish I could have
met tout brother veers ano: J might
have Veen less hard a man. more tit to
! now him. and you, now."
“You hard!”
“Has he not taught you that I am
so?”
In her earnestness she leaned for
ward, her eyes fearlessly on his.
“Never. Do not Imagine he thinl; -
you that, do not so wrong his memory
of your kindness. A rough word—what
i3 It? The first gentleness cancels It:
what Is a friend worth who does not
understand?"
Stanton bent his head, looking at
the fire.
“I have not had much gentleness
shown me.” he said. “My mother diet!
when I was born; when I was thirte'er
my father married again. My step
mother was a good woman, whom 1
loved as well as my father did. But
within the second year after the mar
riage, the horses they were driving
ran away, dragging the carriage over
an embankment, and my parents died
within a few moments of each other
while being taken to the hospital.
Have I said that my father was
wealthy? He was so. He had made
hi6 will, a year before, leaving every
thing to his wife; well knewing that
she in her turn would pass all on to
me. She was much younger than he,
almost certain to outlive him, and
entirely to be trusted. But she had
never made a will, delayed by chance
or forgetfulness. I suppose. When he
died five minutes before her, all his
fortune passed to his wife; then, upon
her death without a will, again legally
passed on to her relatives. I was left
with no share or claim.”
“But it was yours by every right!
Surely, surely, your step-mother’s rel
atives did not take it?”
“They took every penny and every
inch. Miss Floyd. And I. at fifteen,
was sent out into the world, a beggar
ed orphan. They had no interest in
me, and I was old enough to support
myself. One of them offered to get
me a position as office boy.”
“Oh! You—'”
“I—lived,” he grimly answered. "I
asked them for nothing. What per
sonal trinkets belonged to me. I sold,
for the first needs; then I set to work.
My father had wished me to be a
mechanical engineer, and I meant to
fulfil his plan. Perfect health I did
nave—for six years I regularly worked
twenty hours out of each twenty-four,
until I was graduated from college.
For six years I was always tired, oc
casionally hungry, and took just one
recreation; every night I walked
through the avenue where my former
home stood, and looked at It. I saw
the people who had robbed me go
handsomely clad and sleek, I saw
their carriages and servants pass and
repass. I watched, and I concluded
that there was just one thing in life
worth while.”
The girl shivered slightly, her gaxe
on his firm profile with its lines of re
lentless strength.
“You meant to punish them,” she
faltered.
"Revenge? No; it vu not worth
taking. I will not deny I thought of
that as a boy; as a man I was too
practical to waste my time. What I
decided to have was money. I found
in my aptitude for this automobile
racing my best and quickest way to
secure a starting capital. If I killed
myself in doing it, very good; that was
better than poverty. I was poor for
six years; poor for a lifetime I will not
be.”
“Xo, you will not be.” she agreed,
ter voice quite low and agitated. “You
were born to bend circumstance, for
good or 111.”
“Circumstance bent me, when it set
your brother in my path.” he cor
rected. “I never before had a friend,
or cared—” He shook his head impa
tiently, turning fully to her. “R«di,
what dead history am I boring you
with! Forgive me; I only meant to
say there might be some small excuse
for my savagery. It is after four
o’clock. I was promised tea.”
Jessica rose to cross to the little
tea-table, but lingered for an instant.
“Jes once told me that he had been
guilty of the impertinence of saying
his driver had the best disposition and
the worst temper he had ever seen. I
think that if he were here, he would
apologize for the last part.”
“Perhaps he may yet retract the
first,” he warned lightly, yet touched.
When she summoned him to take
his cup, Stanton looked at the brown
beverage, then in quizzical surprise at
his hostess.
“Yes,” she laughed, coloring. "With
three lumps of sugar in it Jes told
me that whenever he was out with
you, you drank chocolate syrup and
sweet. I thought it was only girls who
liked sweet, syrupy things.”
“And do you always give people
“Will You Sing It to M« Nowr
what they like?” he asked, amused
and oddly pleased.
“I would like to," she retorted.
“Then I would like Tery much to
have you go to the theater with me,
to-night.”
“As you like,” she conceded, her
heavy lashes sweeping her cheeks.
The first step was made. For the
next two weeks they saw each other
frequently. Twice Stanton brought
one of the Mercury cars and took Jes
sica for sedate afternoon drives. Sev
eral rainy days she gave him sweet
chocolate and sat opposite him before
the bright little hearth, listening or
talking with the equable aunniness so
like Floyd’s. Indeed, Stanton soon
came to feel with her the sense ot
companionship and certainty of being
understood that he felt with her broth
er-.- But he never was rough to Jee
slca
During that interval he did not
med Floyd. Jes was busy thirty miles
up the Hudson valley, at the Mercury
factory, Jessica said, and as Stanton
of course knew from his mechanician's
own statement Only it impressed him
cs rather strange that Floyd could not
get away even once or twice to see
his sister.
Meanwhile the Cup race was ap
proaching. On the last evening before
Stanton went out to the Long Island
course, he called on Jessica.
“It is possible to come into New
York, cf course.” he said to her. “But
I shall stay out there until after the
race. After that, after Floyd and I
come back, shall I see as much of
you? Or won’t you want me around
when you have him ?”
Startled, she met his eyes, then
turned away hurriedly to the piano.
“Jes and I do not tire of our
friends,” she rebuked. “But beyond
that, how can any one tell what will
happen? We can just live our best
every day and wait to see further.
Sometimes things get twisted wrong.”
“What is the matter? What is twist
ed wrong. Miss Floyd?”
She shook her head, smiling across
her shoulders at him.
“Nothing—nothing but me. Only I
feel disgustingly gloomy to-night: as If
Jes and I were very far apart. Never
mind. I wish you all good luck and
victory for the race.”
“What was that song you were sing
ing on the first day I came here?” he
ashed irrelevantly.
She hesitated, then struck a few
chords upon the piano. “That?"
“Yes. Will you sing it to me,
now?”
With her charming trick of prompt
obedience, she at once seated herself
at the Instrument.
It was no ornate classic, no love
song. that the velvet-and-gold contral
to voice braided into Stanton’s mem
ory, to be in the near future a torture
more acute than physical pain and per
sonal grief.
“Oft, in the stilly night
Ere slumber's chain hath bound me.
Fond memory brings the light
Of other days around me.”
That was the Quaint stiff melody of
fifty years before, that Jessica Floyd
sung to Stanton before they parted.
On reaching home, an hour later,
Stanton found a letter awaiting him
from the assistant manager. Green. It
was dated from Long Island, and re
minded him that the course would be
open for the last day’s practice next
morning during the early hours.
“The car Is at last ready, and if
you see Jes Floyd, tell him that we
can not get along without him any
longer," ran the concluding sentence.
Stanton put down the letter, frown
ing at It in irritated astonishment.
Had not Floyd gone to prepare for the
race, with Green and by his direct or
der? How then could he, Stanton,
know anything about his mechanician
and why did not Green know every
thing? Possibly Floyd had been kept
at the Mercury factory; but In that
case Green would surely have sent
there for him. Instead of trusting to
the faint chance of Stanton’s encoun
tering him. Of course Floyd must be
ready to go out for the delayed prac
tice work next morning—Stanton rose
Impatiently; of course he would be
ready.
A thought like a needleprick halted
him when half-way across the room, a
wild fancy. Could It he conceived
credible that Valerie Carlisle did wish
to prevent the Mercury car from rac
ing. and. failing to reach the driver,
might attempt to keep away the mech
anician she knew to be so valuable?
He recalled his own strange Illness on
the eve of the Massachusetts race.
On an impulse beyond restrain, he
turned to his telephone: there would
be some one to tell him of Floyd at
the factory, for It was working night
and day to fill 1ta orders.
“Yes, 337 Frenehwood.” the thin
voice finally came along the wire.
“Yes, Mercury. Mr. Stanton? Wait.”
The instrument roared vilely; he
knew it was the din of the huge en
gines he heard across thirty miles of
distance.
“Hello,” another voice took np, |
through the drone. "Stanton? This
is Mr. Bailey. What? Oh. why Floyd’s j
gone on—“ there was a blank clicking
“—to Long Island tonight.” was faint
ly resumed. “He’ll be on his job when
you need him. Stanton; go a bit easy
on the poor kid. He isn't a machine.”
Stanton exclaimed something ugly
and hung up the receiver with a snap. '
Bailey was a fool, he mentally sneered. \
and Green was another, and he him- ,
self the third. As for Miss Carlisle,
he had not seen or heard of her since
the trip to Indiana. No more orchids
and laurel. He smiled in sardonic re
lief and went to open a window to
the pungent October air. To-morrow
he would see Floyd at the course and
begin the work which intoxicated him
as it does all those who once acquire j
the fearless mastery of a car at high
speeds and taste the strong excite
ment of the racing game. He drew a
breath of anticipated exhilaration;
this was the ground where be and j
Floyd stood closest in understanding ;
and where Jessica could never come.
But he wished that she had not
looked so strangely grave and wistful,
that evening. It troubled him.
CHAPTER XL
The Last Race.
“Say, Floyd, got & spare Are ex
tinguisher in your camp?”
“I guess so,” called a gay rippling
voice across the gray dawn mist
“Just throw it into the next pit,
then; Jack’s whistling again.”
A tousled head appeared from the
third in the row of repair pits.
“Let Floyd alone, he’d rather hear
me whistle than you talk," jeered the
offender. “Besides, he’s working. Ia
It true, Floyd, that you can make a
worn-out tnxicah motor run like a new
! foreign engine? Some one told me
so.”
“Why, yea. Jack; but t haven’t any
time to fix your car now,” came the
sweet reply. “Come crank the Mer
cury for me, one of you, I want to

One of the laughing mechanics ran
forward," but paused as a tall figure
advanced from the shadow of the

What party elected Woodrow Wil

the progressive Democratic • party,
then hardly in its embryo, or was it
the Democrats ot the old school? If
the progressive democratic party
really existed at the time of Woodrow
Wilson's election, why is it that so
few of them are found in congress?
What lias been Woodrow Wilson's
attitude toward tha straight demo
crat party from a school teacher all
along?
On what ballot did the New York
convention cast its entire vote for
Woodrow Wilson at the Baltimore
convention? Is it not nearlv impos
sible to locate the New Yorkers in
that convention, and that being the
case, does it Out indicate that they
steered clear of Bryanism until Bryan
had picked out their very man (WT.
Wilson) ana pledged himself to Wil
son's support. whereupon the New
Yorkers put in their vote somewhere
(nobody knows when) all the time
leaving Bryan to believe that he was

is it not so?
