he said, and that 1t was dangerous"
"Why-what's the matter?"
Don't talk, please. The car won't
stop"
a load Of hay doomed up in the road,
seeming to fill it from side to side. In
an instant the great machine was close
upon it. swerved round it on two
wheels. missing a cyclist by four inches,
and careered along.
Mr.. Bading groaned. "Werl both be
killed! he cried. What's to be done?
Is 1t safer behind? Can 1 climb oyer?"
mo, no! Sit still" Mayhem shouted
back. The rear Of the car was packed
with baggage-Miss Bnsing'sI big trunk,
bearing her initials In four-inch letters,
her dressing case, and his w largest
kit bag. "There's apparently nothing
for it but to let her go until all the
petrol's gone" he went on. She'll stop
then, right enough. Don't do anything
to distract my attention and I'll pull
you through"
Presently Mayhem spoke again.
"By the way, have you any idea
where we are?"
"Close to Stannithorpe, my native
place. Mr.. Basing answered, gloomily.
But Mayhem remembered that his COM
panion was chief proprietor Of the old
bank at Stannithorpe, and, thinking his
revenge had gone far enough, he re
solved to bring the car to a stand at
the bank door.
Past a few struggling houses they
whizzed at thirty miles an hour, and
soon entered the market street, where
Mayhem made another great show Of
slackening speed, this time with sue
cess, for the street was full of people,
excited, clamorous, surging about a big
stone building, whose front bore in
large gilt letters the words, "Basing's
old bank"
There's something wrong" Mr..
Basing cried, as soon as he saw the
crowd. IF you could only manage to
pull up you might do me a great SER
vice"
Mayhem nodded, and after another
we'll simulated struggle with the levers
contrived to bring the car that wouldn't
stoprof its own accord-to a stand as
close to the bank as the crowd would
permit.
Mr.. Basing sprang to the ground
and almost into the arms of a vener-
able, but wildly excited, gentleman,
who was %fourishing a sheaf Of tele-
grams.
"Thank goodness you've come, sir! /"
he cried, b%reathlessly. I've wired your
office a dozen times this morning and
got no answer from you or Mr.. Smart.
Your chief clerk telegraphed that
neither Of you was at business and he
could do nothing
TELL me in a word what's the mat
ter?" he asked.
"A run sir, on the bank, sir, started.
goodness knows why, as soon as the
doors opened. Mr.. Jones thinks it's
some silly twaddle in the local papers
has done 1t. But he can't keep on
paying out more than another half hour,
and he's in an awful state Of mind"
Mr.. Basing shouldered his way
through the crowd to the door. which
was guarded by the entire police force
of the town, and faced the people.
Fellow townsmen!' Basing shouted.
II am here to tell you that the banks
in 40 danger. You will be paid to the
usnIost %farthing."
4 hundred angry yells answered the
! assurance.
Mr.. Basing pushed past the police
men and entered the bank.
"Cash balance this mornlng?" said

SOCIETY IS ALL SHAM.
BY John d. Rockefeller, Jr.

Many aspirants for social prefer
ment seek out influential friends as
the means of accomplishing their de-
sire. That is reprehensible. The
seeking Of friendship to gain any per-
sonal advantage is wrong. What do
you and I care for society, anyhow?
What does it amount to? Nothing
but a sham. The so-called society
people don't do much else than sit
around waiting for time to 60 by.
It's foolishness and I cannot afford to

we could have got sufficient cash here

from his forehead.

down to write a telegram.
The managers face blanched. "Can't

I'll see what 1 can do"
AS he left the room he was met by
a surge Of people that almost swept
him off his feet. Mr.. Basing struggled
to a chair and mounted 1t.

Pushing, thrusting, elbowing, SHOW

shouting all the time, Mayhem made
way for the procession of policemen
the first two carrying a huge trunk,
carefully guarded by two more officers,
batons in hand another policeman fol-,
lowed with a big kitbag, and yet an
other with a woman's dressing case.
All entered the managers room.

1t was wonderful. A nervous old
woman, who had just heard Of the
trouble, passed the guardian at the
portals. A farmer galloped up on q,
horse taken straight from the pillow and
entered. Those were all.
The policemen trooped out. May
hew, finding the run at an end, left his
post and entered the managers room.
Mr.. Basing was sitting on the big
trunk, wiping his face and laughing.
He got up and gripped Mayhew's hand.
