Cries of rage arose above the din of the machine, and seemed to fol low in our wake Bob was dead to all we passed. His entire being seemed set on what was ahead. I knew he was an expert in the handling of the automobile. for since his misfortune, automobiling with Beulah Sands had been his favorite pastime, but who could expect to carry that plunging, swaying car to Forty-second street. Bob seemed to be performing the won- drous task. We shot from curb to curb and around and in front of vehi- cles and foot passengers as though the drivers eyes and hands were in- spired.
 Across the square at last and on up Fourth avenue to Twentyslxth street. Then dizzying whirl into Madison. Was he going to keep to 1t until he got to Forty-second street and try to make Fifth avenue along that congested block with its crush of Grand Central passengers and lines upon lines of hacks and teams? No. His head must be clear. Again he threw the great machine around the corner and Into Fortieth street. For a part of the block our wheels rode the sidewalk and I awaited the crash. It did no. come. Surely the new world Bob was speeding to must be a kind one. else why should Hag Fate. who had been at the steering wheel of his iife-csr during the last five years. carry him safely through what looked a dozen sure deaths7 Without stacking speed a tot we swung around the corner of Fortieth into Fifth avenue. The road was clear to Forty-second: there a dense jam of cars. teams and carriages blocked the crossing. Bob must have seen the solid wall for I heard his lew muttered curse Nothing else to indicate that we were blocked with his goal in sight. He never touched the speed controller. but took the two blocks as though shot from a catspuit.

HOW TO CHAT WELL.
Subject Is We'll Worthy of Important
 Consideration.

How comparatively few there are who can chat well, who can practice the art pleasantly. easily and enter tainingly.
 Chatting is not conversational is not mere talking. 1t is not speaking to person on any special subject, 1t Is not talking with purpose. and yet it is not purposeless.
 It is simply acquiring the art of touching lightly on variety of every day topics.
 There must be an element of the unexpected in chatting. slight uncer- tainty as to what will come next, and not a firm conviction that be- fore the speaker quits there will be a dissertation on health or a special hobby.
 Those who would chat we'll must have sense of proportion: they must

CHAPTER X.

The instant after the gong sounded Bob Brownley was alone on the floor at the foot of the presidents desk. His form was swaying like reed on the edge of the cyclones path. I jumped to his side. His brother. who had during Bob's harangue been vain Ily endeavoring to beat his way through the crowd, was there first. "Eor Gods sake, Bob. hear me. Word came from your house half an hour ago of the miracle: Beulah has awak- ened to her past. Her mind is clear; the nurses are frantic for you to come to her"
 He got no further. With a mad bel low and a bound, like tortured bull that sees the arena walls go down, Bob rushed out through the nearest door. which. I thanked God. was a side one leading to the street where the crowd was thinnest He cast a wild look around His eyes lighted on an empty automobile whose chauffeur had de xerted to the crowd. It was the work 5f second to crank it: of another to jump into the front seat. Quick as he'd been his movement, I was behind him in the rear seat With bound the great machine leaped through the crowd.

Bob Bruwnley heard not their screams. heard not the curses of those who escaped. He was on his feet. his body crouched low over the steering wheel. which he erasped in his vice-like hands His hsfiess head was thrust far out.
