CHAPTER K.

In the delicate, fresh June dawn, the French limousine crept into the Beach inclosure.
 We're here" said Bailey, to his traveling companions. You can't park the car in front by the fence; MT. David might see you and kill himself by a misturn. Come up to the grand stand seats"
 MT. French got out in silence and assisted Emily to deeend; pale and wide-eyed Emily behind her veil.
 'The boys were calling extras" she suggested faintly. They said three accidents on the track
 Bailey turned to a blue and gold of fieial passing.
 Number seven all right?" he asked.
 "On the track. Lestrange driving" was the prompt response. Leading by thirty-two miles"
 A little of Emily's color rushed back. Satisfied, Bailey lead their way to the tiers of seats, almost empty at this hour. Pearly, unsubstantial in the young light, lay the huge oval meadow and the track edging 1t.
 I've sent over for MT. Dick" Bailey informed the other two. He's been here, and he can tell what's doing. Four cars are out of the race. There's MT. David coming!"
 A gray machine shot around the west curve. hurtled roaring down the straight stretch past the stand and crossed before them, the mechanician rising in his seat to catch the pendant linen streamers and wipe the dust from the drivers goggles in prepara- ton for the death turn" ahead There was a series of rapid explosions as the driver shut of his motor, the machine swerved almost facing the infield fence and slid around the bend with skidding lurch that threw a cloud or soil high in the air. Emily cried out MT. French half rose in his place.

 Mr. French put on his pince-nez. preserving the dignity of outward composure. Emily saw and heard nothing; she was following Lestrange around the far sides of the course, around until again he flashed past her, repeating his former feat with appalling exactitude.
 It was hardly more than five min utes before Dick came hurrying to- ward them; cross, tired, dust-streaked and gasolene-scented.
 'I don't see why you wanted to come." he began before he reached them. I'm busy enough now. We're leading; if Lestrange holds out we'll win. But he's driving alone; Frank went out an hour ago. on the second relief, when he went through the pad dock fence and broke his leg. It didn't hurt the machine bit except tires, but it lost us twenty-six laps. And it leaves Lestrange with thirteen steady hours at the wheel. He says he can do it'

 Dick turned a peeyish regard upon him.

Deal of Attention.

Those who are interested in the mat

interurban line by the Hammond. Whit

The promoters of this project also
want the company 10 name the mini
mum amount they would have to have
before they would undertake the con-
struction of such a line.
with this information they propose
to go about raising the bonus, and
if they are successful, they think
feeder Will be assured for Hammond.
The reason why negotiations are be-
ing made with the Hammond, Whiting
& East Chicago line is that its ramifi-
cations through North township are
such that IL would be much the most
desirable line with which to establish
such a connections.
1t is even though that arrangements
might be made by which the Hammond
cars could run all of the way to Crown
Point by the payment of a trackaSs
rental to the Seaman line, known as
the Gar & Southern.

The republicans of Lake county will
meet in mass convention tonight in the
