please hurry the horse little-that this
was no gait for an elopement to travel
and that the next time they eloped they
would know better than to bring me along
as assistant l would not have minded
that, but it did make me mad to have Mr.
DoddS keep up steady round or COM
plants in low voice. 1t was not my
fault that the lap-robe he had over his
head was full of dust nor that it smelled
of the livery stable. / resolved that l
would never engineer another elopement
as long as I lived, unless there was a
licensed chauffeur in 1t, and the car had
been overhauled at a good garage. And
all the time l kept trying to think what
would do with Mr.. Dodds when we reached
the minister's I feared ii was going to
be awkward. 1 couldn't seem to arrange
neer the two ends of that elopement at the
finish. l would have to go into the house
with Dolly and Ferguson. because l was
with them and l would have to stay with
Mr.. Dodds because l was with him. And
at the same time that l was arriving with
Dolly and Ferguson l would have to be
some miles up the road pursuing them
furiously so as to arrive just after the
ceremony was performed. And at the
same time / would have to be getting Mr..
Dodds away from the minister's door.
We stopped on the brow of the last hill
to let the horse get a breath and while
we were waiting Ferguson got out and
came up to me.
Il am sorry you can't witness the cere-
mony,' he said. but since you say you
can't 1 suppose it is no use to urge you.
1t is too bad that the farmer needs this
horse to bring his milk to the station In
time to catch the early train. l hate to
have you drive back with 1t the moment
you reach the minister's door. but since
you insist shall not attempt to persuade
you"

was not livery horse in town that would
do anything Of that kind. She explained
that il he got the best horse in the livery
stables it would be hard to drive 1t furi-
ously enough to carry out the idea prop
erly, and SO her father agreed, and hired
a horse that very day. so that he could

and told him that he loved his daughter
and that he intended to marry her, and
then. when he saw that this did not stag

told him that they intended to elope. He
admitted that II was cruel to wrest an

That old Viborg -Potzcommer wouldn't

Ferguson did to 1t. Sometimes 1t would
go for a while as nicely as you please,
and sometimes 1t wouldn't. and the more
things Ferguson did to 1t the worse II
worked and so at last he came to me
and told me I would have to elope with
them. so that If the machine happened to
stop working during the elopement l could
hold the something or other while he did
something or other to 1t and got the ma
chine in running order again. He ex-
planned that when he once began clipping

road but it was like one Of these me-
chanical dramas where the machinery is
more important than the actors, and
where the machinery has to be rehearsed
and rehearsed before the opening night in
order to be sure that at the last moment
everything will go off all right. Fergu-
son and Dolly were eehearsing that old
ViborgPotzcommer car, but up to the
day they first set for the elopement they
had not got 1t SO that 1t would go far
enough to be called a decent clipping dis
lance. You can't call an elopement that
only goes out Of sight around the first
corner and then breaks down an abso-
lutely successful elopement. So the elope-
ment had to be postponed once or twice
until Ferguson learned all the different
things that were the matter with that
secondhand car. He told me. before the
elopement actually occurred, that he
wished he had taken my advice and
bought a new car 1t was hard to have
his bliss postponed because Of things tina.
some man with whom he had only the
slightest speaking acquaintance had done
to the car when he was inexperienced
enough himself to have done them all
himself. and then he would have known
what they were and how to go at them.
1t must have been annoying to Dolly
and Ferguson, but 1t was nothing like as
annoying to them as 1t was to Dolly's
father and me. Ferguson and Dolly had
the machine to potter over while the
elopement was held up, but her father
and / had nothing at all to do but sit
around and talk and smoke and wait un-
til Dolly and Ferguson got that old vi
borg -Potzcommer mended.
1 wouldn't have you think. just because
l said Dolly was romantic. that she was
one Of those thoughtless young fly-abouts
that would do needless things and make
other people suffer while they only think
OF their own pleasure. She wasn't that
way at all. She was the most thoughtful
of girls. The very day that she told Fer
guson that she must elope or there would
be no marrying she went to her father
and told him. too. That was just how
consderate she was She did not make
the mistake of telling him that 1t was be-
cause she had romaptic disposition. for

the expense Of a home wedding and the
cost Of a lot Of fancy clothes that she
could never wear again. and when she
said that he saw that an elopement was
not such bad thing. and he gave his
consent. He even went so far as to kiss
her, a thing he seldom did: but when he
would be to drive furiously after the
clipping couple. swearing vengeance on
Ferguson. he almost refused to take part
in it. Because he had never had any
practice at swearing vengeance and had
never driven furiously In his life, and he
hated to begin at that late day It was
not as II he could drive furiously with a
horse that he had been used to driving
every day. He would not have minded
that so much but he had no horse and

run that amounts to the same thing.
think. I explained to Ferguson that a
man never wants to sell a secondhand
auto that he has grown to love unless
there is something the matter with it,
and that half the fun Of motoring Is in
taking a brand-new auto and getting il
all banged up and full of complicated dis
orders that no one but an expert can
understand. and then selling it to some
one that does not know the first thing
about the illnesses Of an automobile l
told him about Murphy, who worked with
his motor car until he got it so beauti-
fully out Of shape that even an expert
could not guess what was the matter with
It. Nobody but Murphy himself could
mend that machine so that 1t would go at
all 1t was all in the way it was mended
There was something or other that Muir
