1t was just beginning to be light and in

We were to go in this car to little all

from there to the garage where the racing

Last Tuesday at 4 o'clock in the morning

which the dare devils make in races | was
simply tlckled to death. So It was arranged,
that I was to go with my woman friend 10
the Marmon racing camp, spend the night
there and then get an early morning run.
Ray Harroun and his Marmon has a rec
ord that places them in the limelight as
champions. They have been first in many
great races some being the Wheatley Hills

1t was just like the kind you read about

her and she leaves the lamplight of the
old farm parlor for the brilliant light Of
the stage and the music of the old organ
her father had gone without threshing

orchestra music, and, will you believe it,
there was a daughter about Is years of
age, with a pretty, wstful face, and she
looked at us Just like the country girls in

She and her mother, who had that tired
expression of most women who live on
farms, took us into the best room and
then stood and talked to us shyly until one
of the men came in and said we'd better
be going on.

! said, well you idiot, here you are and
you've got to stick it OUT And Just then
we came up to the garage and all got out.
Mr.. Harround disappeared inside. Pres
emily he came out looking like a different
person. He had on a blue suit of overall
stuff and a queer rubber cap that came
way down over his forehead to his eye
brows, with tabs that came over the ears.
There was a string that laced it and tied
1t tightly under the chin. on the top of 1t
was tab with hole in it and he had a
handkerchief tied by one end He was
carrying a queer rubber coat and a cap
just like his for me.
l had to slip the coat on over my head
and then tied up under my chin. There
were elastics tn, ough the ends of the sleeves
that make them tight about the wrists.
The coat came to my ankles and l had
handkerchief in my cap, too. Mr. Har-
roun snapped pair of goggles around my
head and then fixed his own.
