er man, but he was obliged to admire
him.
How sol" queried Stanton as sue
cinctly.
Between recklessness and over-cau-
ton"
It was quite true. With Floyd be-
side him, Stanton's driving was as
daringly brilliant, but characterized by
some rational consideration of the pos
sibilities of disaster. Why? No one
had time to speculate.
It was commencing to trouble STAN
ton himself, this growing affection for
his mechanician that threatened to be-
come an absorbing need. He had
never needed any one, he had been
self-sufi cient and self-centered; and
now he felt blank chill at the idea
of losing the society of this boy-man.
It chafed and fretted him with a
sense Of bondage; when he felt the
cords draw most, he turned upon
Floyd and worried him savagely.
Floyd laughed. And Floyd's laughter
would have disarmed Cossack When
he did not laugh, he flashed back,
spark to powder, SO that they quar-
relied on an average four times day.
And they spent every available mo-
ment together, until their friendship
became patent even to the skeptical
Mr.. Green.
1--WE can plan out some of our fac
tory affairs on the way home, on the
train," Stanton arranged, at the close
of the last day, when taking temporary
leave of his mechanician at the Mer-
curry camp.
I'm planning a fender for each side
Of the Comet racing car, so that when
you feel like knocking in few
lengths of the infield fence, as you did
this afternoon, we'll be ready for it,"
Knocked Floyd, his effervescent youth
heady as champagne.
Fence or no fence, we won," STAN
ton retorted indulgently.
"Of course! You kept right on driv-
ing the front of your car, so the rear
just naturally had to climb back on
the road and follow. expected that;
you were too busy to stop for little
thing like side-wiping a fence"
"You seemed to expect it," the 9th
er corroborated. He looked with in
terested curiosity at his nonchalant
assistant. IF l am too busy to wor-
ry at such times, Floyd; you are not.
Don't you ever think of what Is likely
to happen when we are on the verge
Of smash?"
Floyd paused, turning his large clear
eyes on the questioner.
There's just one thing I'm asking"
he gravely returned. THAT Is, that
when 1t comes, it will be a good
smash No one minds just dying
we're sure to do it some day, anyhow
but to be mussed up and patched to-
gether again, no! Now" his irrepres-
sible smile glanced out again, that's
why 1 feel so safe with you; there is
deadly flnality about your driving
methods"
THAT is about enough" Stanton sig
nified. "I'll see you on the train,
then"
They did meet on the train, and
passed long hours of travel in work
and discussion. The other passengers

At first thought, nothing would seem
simpler than blowing card off from
a pipe, II the card is laid horizontally
on the bowl of it and one blows
through the pipe stem; but when one
tries it, he is amazed to find that he
cannot do it, says the Popular Mechan-

The pipe, so that it cannot slide side

The uncanny fact that the card can
not be blown from the pipe depends
upon some of the peculiar principles
Of aerodynamics. One would feel GER

will be noticed, though, that the col

CHAPTER VIII-(contInued).

The silence was long After reading,
Floyd turned his face to the window,
and so remained But at last he looked
back to Stanton and nodded.
Eyes, it means that I get back my
fathers factory" he confirmed quietly
'I am very glad, although it doesn't do
me much actual good. I have no capt.
tai to run an automobile plant, and I
will not sell unless l am forced to 1t.
"You would like to operate it?"
The blood ran up under Floyd's fine
skin, he met Stanton's eyes with a
glance of fire-ardent passion and de-
sire
"I'd give all the rest Of my life to
operate that factory for one year, as
my father planned for me-Td give 1t
for six months to justify his faith and
training. You do not know, you can
not know!"
"Can l not?" Stanton retorted.
Floyd, what do you think 1 am rae
ing for, if l can not understand risk
ing something for an object. l told
you once that would not live poor

er prize or two this season, will have

"Stanton!"
'FWait; there is time enough. We
may easily lose everything we put into
the venture, factory and all; or we
may not"
@I'd chance my part"
'Why, so would l." agreed Stanton.
Meanwhile, you had better try me as
q travelling companion before you take
me as partner. Remember We would
be teammates for long race"

Mercury plant when you don't Ha,f

q day ought to be enough"
Stanton surveyed him, irritated. yet
without tangible cause for Irritation.
There were times when he could have
imagined that Floyd evaded too close
companionship with him, subtly held
him at arms length.
They stayed the half day at Buffalo.
and went out to the huge, silent group
of buildings that had been the Comet
factory.
It gave Stanton a strange sensation
to watch Floyd's assured familiarity
with this place and atmosphere; to
see him so naturally draw from his
pocket the bunch Of keys to admit
them and unhesitatingly fit each to it's
corresponding door or gate. Yet, this
was where he belonged-only there
should have been busy life instead Of
this dead emptiness. Their voices ech-
ed loud through the desolation, where
the massive, motionless machinery
stood towering above the visitor and
the slight young master Of the domain,
the metal-spotted, roughened factory
floors reverberated under their foot
steps.
AS they made the tour from room to
room and building to building, Floyd
grew slowly whittier, his explanations
more brief. When they finally arrived
at glass-set door marked Office, he
stopped short and laid his hand upon
the wall as If to steady himself
go away, for moment" he re-
quest, his voice catching. "I'll come
after you. I haven't been here since
my father"
Stanton swung on his heel and went
out; out to look at the mile track,
where Edgar Floyd used to practice
racing with little Jes tied in the car
beside him, and where later the older
Jes played Amechanician to his fathers
driving. And standing there under
the dull October sky, Stanton thought
Of many things.
When Floyd came after him. half an
hour later, Stanton turned from his
position against the track railing.
"Floyd, what do you figure is going
to become of your sister," he abrupt
ly demanded.
Floyd stopped. gazing at the other
with parted lips and startled gray
eyes. A strong wind was blowing of
Lake Erie, tossing his bronze hair
and wrapping his long coat about him.
"My sister," he repeated. ''Why?"
"She is woman, she must have
some life of her own. You can't keep
her like nun until she finds herself
grown old without chance at living"
Floyd continued to gaze at him, say
ing nothing; that half-hour in the Of
fee had left him almost wan in the
gray afternoon light.
"You know me, Jes Floyd, If any
one does. You know my vile temper,
my rough tongue, and that I am a
cross-grained brute at best. But
think there may be enough Of the in
herent gentleman left in me to make
me decent to a woman. If, In time,
things fell out so that I'd asked you for
your sister, would you be willing?
Speak frankly, If you do not think me
fit to be trusted with her, say so-it
will not break our friendship"
"You have seen her once" Floyd re-

The Wisdom of Johnny.

Mamma" said Johnny, IF you will
let me go just this one time, I won't
ask for anything to eat"
"All right" said his mother. Get
your hat"
Johnny, perched on the edge Of q
big chair, became restless as savory
doors came from the region of the
kitchen. At last he blurted out:
There's lots Of pie and cake In this
house."
The admonishing face of his mother
recalled his promise, and he added:
"But what's that to me?"

the surface of the card which is ex-
pected to be lifted is many times
greater. AS soon as the card rises a
little, the downward pressure holds
it to such an extent that the air flows
out sidewise in every direction along
it's surface. When it gets to the
Blow Ever So Long and Hard, the
edge of the card, it draws some of
the air from the upper side with it.
This causes a current of air from
above to descend upon the card and
to hold it down.
