victory for the Walhalla boys last
Friday afternoon. AS the last boy

head with a brick last Sunday morn
ing on lower Main street by Lonnic

him considerable trouble Of late and
his physicians advised an operation,
as the malady might possibly bring
on more serious trouble"

low trackdust from the pilots goggles

watching the tires and the other ma

Near the end of the second hour,
the scream Of the klaxon sounded it's

'It's us--lamps out" called the me-
chanician, after comprehensive re-
view of their machine.
Stanton shook his head impatiently,
and kept on; deliberately passing the
paddock gate instead of turning in.
As they shot by the grand-stand for
the second time, the klaxon sounded
again, long and imperiously.
"Goin' to fight the judges?" lisped
Floyd, with careful politeness.

The crowded stands were bulk OF
swaying, seething impotence. The
paddock was in an uproar, the Mer-
curry camp the center of interest. But
no volunteers answered the call. The
painting machine, it's hood wrapped in
jets of violet flame, headlights and
tail-lights shedding vivid illumination
around the figure OF its baffied master,
quivered with impotent life and
strength. Raging, Stanton stood,
/ watch in hand, his face set study in
scorn.
Suddenly the harsh rasp Of the Off
cial klaxon scared above the hubbub,
warning, summoning.
"Four minutes" painted the despair
ing assistant manager. Stanton"
Some one was running toward them,
some one for whom lane was opened
by the spectators from other camps
who had congregated.
Get aboard" called ahead a fresh
young voice. Get aboard; I'll CO."
Thank Heaven for mani" snarled
Stanton, as the runner dashed up.
"Why, it's a boy!"
Floyd" Mr.. Green hailed hysterical-
ly. you'll go?'
"I1l CO." assured Floyd, and faced
the driver; slim, youthful figure in
mechanics blue overalls, his sleeves
rolled to the elbows and leaving bare
his slender arms; his head, covered
like girls with soft closely cropped
curling brown hair, tilted back as his
steady gray eyes looked up at STAN
ton.
You? You couldn't crank taxi
cab" flung the racer, brutal with dis
appointment and wrath. You'd go?
A boy?"
I'm as old as the driver of the
Singer car, and scant five years young
er than you-I'm twenty-one," flashed
the retort. "And / know all there is
about gasoline cars. I guess you're
big enough to crank your own motor
aren't you, If I can't? You've got
thirty seconds left; do you want me?"
Met on his own tone, Stanton
gasped, then caught his mask from
the man who held it.
why don't you get on your
clothes?" he demanded savagely.
Are you going to race like that?
Jump, you useless towards there
can't you pass him his things? Tele-
phone the stand that I'm coming, some
one"
There was wild scurry of prepare
ton, the telephone bell jingled madly.
"Jes Floyd is one of our new factory
men," hurried Mr.. Green, in GREATNESS
explanation, as Stanton took his seat.
"He's a gas-engine wonder-he knows
them like a clock-he tuned up this
car you've got, this morning"
The klaxon brayed again. A trim ap-
partition, in racing costume darted
from the tent to swing into the mar
row seat beside the driver, and Stan
toms car leaped for the paddock exit
with roar answered by the deafen-
ing roar Of welcome from the specta-
tors.

Here" he offered CURLY.
Thanks" Floyd accepted, and
drank as they bounded forward, toss
ing the tin pitcher back over his
shoulder, where a reporter gathered
1t up and sat upon key of oil to write
a pretty account of the volunteer me-
chanician who had made the Mer-
cury's entry possible and Of the conse-
quent regard Of Stanton for him.
The next hour passed a trife more
quietly. Perhaps even Stanton was
sufficiently tired by the strain to drive
with some conservatism; perhaps he
acknowledged mentally that no car
built would stand such viciously CRU
cling work for twenty-four consecutive
hours. But he kept the lead gained,
for all that, and pace like the long
swoop of a swallow.
Gar coming out of the paddock
Hundred and eightieth lap. Car
stopped around the bend" Floyd re-
ported, at intervals. Otherwise there
was mute attention to business on the
part of both men.
Signal" Stanton abruptly ordered,
at last, as they rushed across the
stretch of track between the grand
stand and the training-camps.
Floyd obediently rose in his place,
raising his arms above his head in the
accepted signal to their men to stand
ready for the cars entrance. On the
next circuit Stanton turned into the
paddock and came to a stop before
the Mercury's tent.
Get out" he directed, and himself
left his seat.
The two men who alternated were
waiting to relieve the two who de-
scended from the machine. The work
men swarmed around to fill tanks and
give swift inspection, and the fretting
car sped back to the track.
Left opposite each other in the flick
ering glare Of the swinging electric
lamps, driver and mechanician stood
for moment, weary, car-stiff, and
still tense. Stanton unelasped his
mask with a jerk, took a step toward
the tent, then turned toward his as
sistant.
"The three hours are up" he OBJ
served roughly. II suppose you leave
me-"
"Why do you suppose that? Are
you through with me" Floyd asked,
with studied quietness.
81 made the offer to any man who
would go for the first three hours.
The time is up; you're free to get
your money from Mr.. Green, and
leave"
Floyd took off his own mask and
barred his white, steadfast face and
tired eyes to the others gaze.

much OF It as you want me-" he cor
rected. Until you quit, or find sub
stitute you like better. I'm with YOU"
They looked at each other.
go rest, then. There is coffee in
side." bade Stanton, and swung on his
heel.
At the entrance to his tent he was
met by the exultant assistant mana
ger.

toni" he exclaimed jubilantly. II tel
ephoned our fix to headquarters, and
Jack Rupert is coming down-the
chief tester at the factory. you know,
who used to race with the chief him
self. He 'phoned that he wouldn't see
the Mercury thrown out but to tell
you he was going to cancel his life
insurance policy frst SO he would not
be accused Of suicide for the benefit
of his heirs. Funny chap! He'll be
here before you 60 on the track
