beat faster, for the face of this man,

Where had he seen this man? That

CHAPTER XIX.
A Saved Situation.


He waited impatiently for her re-
turn. Bessie. he knew, might be in
one of the rooms just across the hall,
but, though Bessie was a trump, he
did not go to look for her. The girl
might come back at any moment-and
he did not wish to miss one instant
of her presence.
Again he considered the miracle of
her appearance in his life, and he re-
joiced that. from the first, he had been
able to be of service to her. Those
loving, trusting words that she had
Just spoken-how they glowed in his
heart! She had known that he would
succeed! He could only think that
the secret telegraphy of his love had

and yet he did not even know her
name. The house was just such a one
as he might have imagined to be her
home-beautiful, with the air of a
longer family tradition than is COM
monty found in the middle west-un-
obtrusive but complete. And the fur
nishings of the room in which he was
standing were in quiet but perfect
taste.
On table near him lay book.
Mechanically he picked 1t up.
1t opened at the fly leaf Something
was written there-her name, per-
haps.
He closed the cover without read
ing the inscription, conscious only of
a line of writing in feminine hand
that might be hers or another's. No,
he could wait. The name did not
matter. She was his. and that was
enough.
Near the book lay an empty en-
velope, addressed to-he averted his
eyes.
He found himself wondering wheth-

the scene which his action had made
possible-all for the sake Of girl.
And when the last pen-stroke had
been completed and the seated men
raised their eyes and looked at each
other-looked at each other with the
responsible glance of men who have
made history-at that moment the girl
whispered to Orme: Come" and ST.

room in which he had first awaited
her.
"oh. Girl" he whispered, as she

She smiled. please wait for mo-
ment"
When she had disappeared he re-
pictured the scene they had just wit
messed. With all its absence of pomp,
it had left with him an impression
that could never be effaced.
Again the girl appeared in the door
way, and leaning on her arm was her
father. Orme stepped forward. The
secretary smiled and extended his
hand.
Mr.. Orme," he said, I'VE owe you
much. My daughter has told me
something of your experiences. You
may be sure that l had no notion,
when this affair began, that she would
have to envelop herself and others in
so much mystery, but now that all has
ended well, L can only be thankful"
He seated himself. You will excuse
me; am not quite strong yet, though.
as l might say, very convalescent."
The girl was leaning on the back of
her fathers chair. Tell father the
story, won't you, please?" she asked.
So Orme quickly narrated the series
of events that began with his stroll
along State street the afternoon of the
day before. 1T doesn't sound true.

By HARRY WARD.

Washington motorists who are accus.

bilt Cup race on Lopg Island will be in
terested to learn that unless there are
some changes in the attitude of New
York State officials toward the ordering
out Of the militia to act as patrols for
1t is likely that the Vanderbilt will be
passed up this year.
II has Just come to light that the con-
test board of the American Automobile
Association has adopted a stringent rule
relating to the promoting of road races
in which it is specified that unless
troops are secured to guard the course
the contest will not receive the sanction
of the three AS. Chairman s. NJ. But
Ter states that all promoters of road
races have been notified of this new rule
and that it positively must be complied
with.
There will be one exception to this
rule and that is in connection with the
Fairmount Park race in Philadelphia.
The officials Of the three AS are salts
fled that the militia could not perform
the work of patroling the course used
for this big contest better than the park
police and guards.
While the new rule of the American
Automobile Association may appear to
be stringent from the promoters view
point, that 1t is a step in the right
direction will be acknowledged by all
who have a real interest in the sport
The action of the crowds at the last
Vanderbilt race was a fair example of
the manner in which courses used for
such contests, especially when near a
city like New York, can be guarded by
constables, deputies, and special po-
licemen. Through their utter inability
to control the crowds several lives were
lost. '

The fact that the Washington Cross
