 He slipped into a long motor coat. and accompanied stanton with ready cordiality that took no account of past events. No reproaeh could have moved the offender so much. no in- jured dignity could have SC forced a curb upon his tongue for the future.
 It was not to one of the temporary eating-plaees erected in anticipation of the race carnival that Stanton took his guest, but to a quiet, cool hotel within reach. There, the order given. he looked across the width of white linen at his companion with an odd sense of triumph and satisfaction; he felt for this bowman something akin to the elation with which a youth takes the admired girl out to dinner for the first time

 Floyd glanced up, a ripple of incred- ulous amusement crossing his gray eyes, but he said nothing.
 At least, I set the spark as l be lieved right" Stanton amplified, watch ing the effect, "and when I cranked. the motor fired over. The person who sat next to me said l left the spark wrong"
 The ineredulity died out of F1oyd's gaze, but the wonder increased.
 More likely it was changed after you left it, perhaps by mistake" he suggested.
 In flash of recollection Stanton saw Valerie Carlisle's little gloved hand dart toward the steering wheel. just before he pulled up the crank. Could she have moved the sector, and have corrected her mistake an instant too late? He remained silent. nor did Floyd pursue the question

Colds Affect

Many Putnam People Have

Are you wretched in bad weatherf

 Does your back ache and become weak
 Are urinary passages irregular and dis tTessingf
 These symptoms show kidney weak ness.
 The kidneys need quick help.
 Doan's Kidney Pills cure kidney sui fering.
 Putnam people say so.
 Mrs. D. Cady, 31 Grove street, Putnam, Conn, says: aFor three or four years s member of my family suffered from se- we're pains across the small of the back. He was unable to sleep well and tossed about for hours. A day or two before a storm he always noticed that his trouble was worse ana when he caught cold bis suffering was also intensified. Added to this was an annoying kioney weakness, the kidney secretions beng unnatural. Until Dean's Kidney Pills, procured at Dresser's Drug Store, were used nothing relieved him. This preparation disposed of the kidDey difficulty and removed the bseksche." (statement given March 2, 1908
