FELTON,, Del, April II. That
the keiffer pear crop is ruined now
seems positive since the warm wealth
CT has made the dead blossoms show
up. Yesterday afternoon the orchard
of Robert Clifton. near here, was
examined andDnot over two live pears
were found to each tree.
The recent heavy rains are greatly
handicapping the farmers in getting
out their early crops.
No doubt the largest producer OF
radishes in the State is Henry Austin
of near this town. This year he has
about 10 acres in this little vege-
table and they are all up and growing

II would have as soon occurred to
Stanton TO seek out his machine az
his mecbanician. Some drivers grow
sentimentally attached to their cars,
watching them fondly and jeslously:
he did not, consistently and tempera-
minor facts Of life.
II was In the railroad depot, the
morning he started for sachusetts,
that Stanton saw his mechanician for
the first time since the Beach victory.
Floyd was seated on one of the wait

Good morning." he remarked.
Floyd glanced up. then rose with
an exclamation and held ont his hand,
his ready color rising like a girls un-

Good morning; didn't see you

analyze his singular attractiveness
and to find the reason why he, STAN
ton, should feel pleasure at the pros
pect of having this companion at his
side; he, who had never formed friend
ships az most men did.
Floyd laughed. his grey eyes mis-.
chievous.
We'll, | know. We've been working
all the week at the machine, and we've
got her ticking like watch. You

around the track and transformed II
to q silver ribbon. running between

the lamp-gemmed stands arose. Al.
ready newspapers we're being cried
announcing stanton's coming victory.
Driving evenly. steadily, refusing
all challenges to speed duels and at
tempting none Of his deadly tactics OF
the night before, Stanton piloted his
car TO the inevitable result. At nine
o'clock the flag dropped, and amid o
hubbub Of enthusiasm the Mercury
crossed the line, winner.
Later. when the triumphant tumult
In the Mercury camp had somewhat
subsidized. Stanton walked over to
where Floyd was leaning against q
column Of unused tires.
You've had twenty-four hours Of
me-" he said abruptly. How did II
strike you?"
Floyd raised his candid gray eyes
to the others face, and in spite OF ex-
haustion smiled with a glinting frank
ness and humor.
III you want me to tell you" he
began.
Il have asked you"

I'd like you to like me as well as
do YOU"

ton gave brief information. do you
want the position?'
Floyd Strengthened; even In the un-
certain light the color could be seen
to rise over his face.
You'd take me; your"
yes"
You know--oh, can tune up q
motor. I understand my work, but for
road racing-you know I can't crank
your car or change a, tire without
help"
Stanton smiled grimly.
Il guess am big enough to crank
my own car" he quoted at him. ''You
have your nerve. l can't have a whin-
ing gutter to drive with me. l make
you the offer; take or leave It. But
remember. ] am likely to break your
neck"
"I1l chance that" answered Floyd,
drawing a quick breath, and held out
his slender hand. Tll come"
The pact was made. In after time,
Stanton came to wonder at It's bald
simplicity.

Floyd, a little later, when that young
mechanician, at least specifically
cleaner and wrapped In long dust

See here, Floyd; you are going to

Suddenly Stanton put his finger Oh
the thing he sought. one thing that
made this mechsnician different; and
voiced bis thought before considering
wisdom.
You're a different class. Floyd" he
stated abruptly. You're no workman,
nor descendant OF workmen."
