When Colonel Whiteside knew that be
had made twenty miles an hour he
was pleased and proud Every minute
of that hour be had expected accident.
After that he got a chauffeur That's
the usual course Of the ninety eight.
They leave the driving to somebody
else and lean back and try to look
placid and nonchalant. Now came
twenty-five, thirty, forty-tive miles an
hour. The colonel gasped and felt a
pain In his heart. He did not speak to
the chauffeur because he was afraid
bis voice would betray him. He had
weakness Of the knees, and things
blurred to his vision. But for pride
and fear Of ridicule be would have
said that never again would he ride at
such pace. Let him show the white
feather and the man beside him would
grin In his face and then tell the news
TO a hundred others. Let 1t be whis-
pered that d man Is afraid Of bis auto
and he is done for. The other ninety
seven are also afraid. but they viii
make common cause against the nine
ty-eighth to conceal their fear
This machine can make a mile a
minute said the chauffeur In the ga
rage one day as the colonel was ready
for his spin.
"Yes9'
"And wen let her out today

There were a dozen men about, but
had there been only the chauffeur to
listen the colonel would not have
dared to protest. He must acquiesce
or be thought tinid. He nodded his
head and smiled, but at that moment
the auto said.
Yes, will make mile q minute,
but look out for me. have given
you several warnings, but you have
not needed them. Today you shall
feel the sensation OF flying, but will
you sleep in your bed tonight?"
The start was made. More obedient
than any horse that ever wore bar
ness, the machine rolled over the as
phalt streets, guided by the slightest
touch. There was time for the colonel
10 suggest that the pace be limited TO
thirty-Gvs or forty miles an hour when
the long. straight stretch OF country
road should be reached, but he feared
to do SO. The chauffeur is the real
boss Of the auto He makes or un-
makes the reputation Of the owner for
nerve
The colonel turned his face away
and closed his eyes. The pace grew
faster and faster. II went from thirty
20 forty, from forty TO fifty, from fifty
10 sixty miles an hour. The machine
had the road to itself. 1t chugged
, gasped, it flew. 1t was like man
being shot from a cannon II was
fearful speed, but 1t was as safe as-
or sudden tile wheels skidded, the
machine turned. and the farmer who
came driving along found a broken
telegraph pole, an upset and battered
auto gasping out its life and two dead
men in the highway ditch. The terror
