sounds paradoxical, but 1t is true
where man drives his car himself.
In using the pedals and various other
foot mechanism mans shoe gets
badly scuffed along the sides and on
the heel. A California man has de-
signed shoe protector to prevent
this. A leather flap with broad. stud
ded ends fits under the ball of the
foot and comes up on both sides, a
narrow end crossing over the top OF
the foot and buckling to the other
side. A strap also passes around the
heel and buckles to the back part Of

bilist's shoe is amply protected from

CHAPTER VI.
Missed.

Missed.
The most agitated man in Lowell,
on the race morning, was the assist
ant manager Of the Mercury company.
And there was a maddening irony in
his situation. At a quarter after ten.
fifteen minutes before the first car
was to start, the Mercury stood ready,
with, in his place. the trim. khaki-clad
mechanician. concerning whose pos
sible desertion Mr.. Green had spent
,, much worry. But the driver. Stanton
the unfailing. was missing. In the
midst Of the gay hubbub of the scene,
the Mercury camp was on the verge
Of frenzy.
You've telephoned to his hotel?'
inquired Floyd. no less troubled be-
cause quiet. as Mr.. Green came up
wiping his brows.
"Telephonedl I've telephoned to
every hotel In the town, to the police
toto every one. He went to his ho-
tel and dressed for the evening. after
he left here yesterday, and went OF
in an Atalanta automobile with some
confounded woman; that's all can
learn. He never came back to the no
tel, at ALL"
Floyd's slender brown hand shut
hard on the edge Of the seat. his Liz
curled slightly.
"A woman?" he repeated. his mer
ciless young voice stinging.
They say so-and I'd as soon have
thought Of Ralph Stanton getting
drunk"
You'd better phone to the insan,
asylum" advised the mechanician
and turned his back to the whole af
fair, watching the brilliant spectacle
before him with scornful gray eyes.
