That was the quaint stiff melody OF
fifty years before. that Jessica Floyd
sung to Stanton before they parted.
On reaching home. an hour later.
Stanton found a letter awaiting him
from the assistant manager, Green. 1t
was dated from Long Island. and re-
minded him that the course would be
open for the last days practice next
morning during the early hours.
1.-THE car is at last ready. and II
you see Jes Floyd. tell him that we
can not get along without him any
longer" ran the concluding sentence.
Stanton put down the letter, frown-
ing at It in irritated establishment.
Had not Floyd gone to prepare for the
race, with Green and by his direct or
der? How then could he. Stanton.
know anything about his mechanician
and why did not Green know every
thing? Possibly Floyd had been kept
at the Mercury factory; but In that
case Green would surely have sent
there for him, instead OF trusting to
the faint chance of Stanton's encoun-
tering him. OF course Floyd must be
ready to go out for the delayed prac-
tice work next morning-Stanton rose
impatiently; of course he would be
ready. 81;
A thought like needleprick halted
him when halfway across the room, a
wild fancy. Could 1t be conceived
credible that Valerie Carlisle did wish
to prevent the Mercury car from rae
ing, and, failing to reach the driver,
might attempt to keep away the mech
aniclan she knew to be so valuable7
He recalled his own strange illness on
the eve of the Massachusetts race.
On an impulse beyond. restrain. he
turned to. his telephone; there would
be some one to tell him OF Floyd at
the factory. for 1t was working night
and day to fill its orders.
Yes, 337 Frenchwood." the thin
voice finally came along the wire.
Yes. Mercury. Mr.. Stanton? Wait"
The instrument reared vilely; he

zines he heard across thirty miles OF
distance.

is Mr.. Bailey. What? Oh. why Floyd's
gone on" there was blank clicking

ly resumed. Hell be on his job when
you need him Stanton; go BIT easy
on the poor kid. He isn't machine. .
Stanton exclaimed something ugly
and hung up the receiver with a snap.
Bailey was a fool. he mentally sneered
and Green was another. and he him
self the third As for Miss Carlisle,
he had not seen or heard OF her since
the trip to Indiana. No more orchids
and laurel He smiled in sardonic re-
lief and went to open a window TO
the pungent October air. Tomorrow
he would see Floyd at the course and
begin the work which intoxicated him
as II does all those who once acquire
the fearless mastery OF car at high
speeds and taste the strong excite
ment OF the racing game. He drew q
breath of anticipated exhilaration:
this was the ground where he and
Floyd stood closest In understanding
and where Jessica could never come.
But he wished that she had not
looked so strangely grave and wlstful

put down as one OF the deep think
ers in the world Of gigantic enter
prises as well as strong advocate
OF general development OF late he
has taken up the back to the farm"
movement. In discussing this sub
ject. he says:
THE only thing that would drive
people back to the land is empty
stomachs. When times are bad there
is always a certain number OF people
who 20 to the country because they
feel they can have a roof over their
heads there and enough to eat.
Otherwise, they are bred and wed

sick and out Of place in the country
as born farmer would be in a
crowded tenement district. Some
people are better of in the city in
ordinary times. Let them stay.
There is competition enough already
in the country. The need is not for
more farmers, but for better ones"

From Thursdays Daily.

lou thursday DAILY.
The trial of George Hull, who, with
E. K. Lawrence, was under arrest
Tor permitting minors in their billiard
halls, was concluded this morning and
Hull dismissed when the jury brought
in an instructed verdict of acquit-
tai on motion of City Attorney Col
Wig. The case against Lawrence was
also dismissed on motion of the city
attorney.
The instructed verdict was given
on the grounds that at the time of
the alleged offense the parties were
not licensees of the city, inasmuch
as their licenses had expired on No
vember 30, 1911, and the ordinance
is operative only against billiard
halls licensed by the city. Examin-
alton of the citys books showed that
the licenses had not been renewed.
Attorney Colvig stated that he
would file complaint against Law
renee and Hull for operating billiard
parlors without license.
Both parties renewed their license
for the quarter beginning December
/ and ending February 20. Mr.. Law
renee stated that heretofore it had
been customary for the auditor to
take a license and receipt for fees
paid to their place of business and
collect the amount each quarter, and
1t was expected that the same course
would be carried oct and that Meth
er one of the proprietors had any
intention Of attempting to evade
fragment Of the license fee.
