breaths of the air that fluttered the
Union Jack.
Stranleigh, confident that he had
shaken off pursuit, enjoyed himself in
a thoroughly democratic manner, sail
ing and motoring, the second week
venturing on a tour of the automobile
manufacturing district. He had come
to believe Parkes so untruthful that
he discounted everything he had said,
and was unprepared to find the reality
far in advance of the description.
However, he saw no sign of the Ster-
ling Motor Company, so asked the
chauffeur to convey him thither. The
chauffeur, pondering a moment, was
forced to admit he had never heard
Of the company.
Then will you go to one of these
offices and enquirer requested Stran-
leigh. Some one is sure to know the
name"
The chauffeur drew up at a huge
factory and went inside. Returning
very promptly, he informed his fare
that they knew of no Sterling Motor
Company, but there was in Wood
bridge Street young engineer named
]. f. Sterling, who, they believed,
made motor cars.
~. E. Sterling! That's the man
want. Where is Woodbridge Street?'
Right away Next door, as you
might say, to the river front"
I'VE II go there. Drive past Mr..
Sterling's place"
Woodbridge Street proved to be
crowded with numbering trucks,
loaded with vegetables for the most
part, and among these vehicles the
chauffeur threaded his way with eau
tion. They passed a small, insignifi-
cant shop, above whose window was
printed:

PROMPTLY EXECUTED.

When the chauffeur halted a little
further on Stranleigh descended, and
dismissed the car.
THE door of j. L. Sterling's modest
works being open, Stranleigh
walked in unannounced. A five-pas
senger car stood by the window, where
II could be viewed by passers-by
Further down the room rested a
chassis, over which two men, one mid
dle-aged, the other probably twenty
FIVE, were bending, with tools in their
hands. Both looked up as Stranleigh
entered.
81 wish to see Mr.. J. E. Sterling" he
said
my name is Sterling" replied the
younger man, putting down his tools,
and coming forward.
Il understood" went on Stranleigh,
that there was a Sterling Motor Car
Company"

young man, confidently, but that s in

The young man laughed.
We'll, that depends on who has
been talking about me-"
Il heard nothing but praise"
Sterling laughed even more heart
lily.
Il am afraid they were getting at
you. A man may be a creditable in
ventor and a good all-round engineer
without expecting praise from his
friends. Are you looking for an auto
mobile?"

keep the wolf from the door, and leave
a small surplus TO eXpend in my busi-
ness. My real work, however, is ex-
perimenting, and when can turn out
a machine that satisfies me, my next
business will be to form a company.
