LoOA dN tut OdOmSteT. W e nave come twenty miles since we left Stoneham and we are no nearer Harrison than when we started" Lost again walled Henrietta, How very stupid we are!" Its my fault admitted Bartlett truthfu1Iy, but with contrition. 'T said to take this turn back there near that barrel factory" We can go back" suggested Billy.
 Parker told me last night,D said the general gioomily, that there was no settlement north of here for Afty miles. We have probably come north" ..-... ..e
 If we have come twenty miles we laan go twenty more without dying. 1" said Bartlett.
 T don't know" laughed Henrietta. "l am famished now"
 "So am |" walled Billy. Henrietta, haven't we thing to eat?"
 Not thing said Henrietta. Hit her up.' cried Bartlett fowl ally. We will break some more speed laws, by George. I want something to eat"
 We have heard nothing from fa- ther," leased Henrietta, her laughing eyes or the Watermelon's face, full of tender amusement. He was so young and looked so serious and almost un- happy that she was unhappy herself.

 Not for the car" said the Water melon None of us would be able to fix it."
 "BIy dear sir" said the general warmly. T have owned this car for year"
 T know" murmured the watermal. on. T think marvellous"
 T am perfectly capable"
 "Win you bet with me-" interrupted the Watermelon. that it's the gsso- lene2 AIphonse may have filled the other car at the expense of this oue-
 It was the gasolene, or rather lack of gasolene. that had stopped tho car.
 That's where a horse beats a car.9 lamented Henrietta You don't haze io keep bothering with their works.
 She sat down on the car step aae elasped her hands in her lap we could spend the night here, but in the morning we wouldn't be any nearer gssoiene than we are now"
