in%voluntarily: then, furious at his be-
trayal Of sentiment, he dropped the
others hand. I'VE had better 90, or
we'll miss the train," he bruskly re-
minded.
"Oh, she is like me-" confirmed
Floyd; he turned to look again at the
factory. I'VE are pretty close chums.
Yes, you an I had better be gettin' to
the train"
They walked back to the nearest
trolley line, both silent.
The subject was not touched again,
until the following morning. when they
left the train in New York.
When shall I see you?" Stanton
questioned, as they exchanged fare
wells in the noisy depot. "To-mor-
row."
I'm going to be out of town for the
next two weeks, Mr.. Green tells me-"
Floyd replied. They want me at the
Mercury factory, and there are some
other trips, too, I believe. Jessica is
going to be rather deserted; II you

carelessly. Take care of Yourself"
He had not reached the exit when
Floyd overlook him.

race" he painted, thrusting a folded
newspaper into Stanton's hand. There
are two Atalanta cars to run against
us. It's you who need to take care
of yourself, until afterward."
Floyd, wait! What do you mean?
Do you really think"
But his mechanician evaded the
question.
Some people are hoodoos," he
laughed. Keep away from them,
please. Good-by."
He had not spoken Valerie Carlisle's
name, yet Stanton knew against whom
he warned. And the melodramatlc
a~bsurdity Of the idea did not prevent
an odd thrill Of discomfort and inse-
curity, from which he took his usual
Eefuge in roughness.
: I'm not In the habit of hiding from
people, hoodoos or not. Good-by."
"Oh, very we'll" acquiesced Floyd
oddly. But If you won't take care Of
yourself, Stanton"

CHAPTER X.
An Interval.

An interval.
Il was on the second day after his
arrival in New York that Stanton
called upon Jessica Floyd. This time
he went more confidently up the stairs
Of the quiet apartment house. sure Of
his right.
As before, the little old Irishwoman
clad in black silk was waiting to ad.
init him; as before. he could have
cried out in the wonder Of seeing this
girl who turned Foyd's candid face
to him and smiled with Floyd's gray
eyes. Only, this afternoon Jessicia
did not rise from the plano seat to
greet him. but from a chair near q
window.
"Jes Is away again." she regretted,
giving him her hand.
II came to see you, by his permits
sion," Stanton returned.
The rich color flushed under her
marvellous skin, that vas like no other
woman's he had ever seen. Floyd diff.
fered there, man from girl. his com.
piexion being much darker and less
translucent.

q day ought to DO enough"
Stanton surveyed him. irritated, yet
without tangible cause for irritation.
There were times when he could have
imagined that Floyd evaded too close
companionship with him, subtly held
him at arms length.
They stayed the half day at Buffalo.
and went out to the huge, silent group
OF buildings that had been the Comet
factory.
II gave Stanton q strange sensation
to watch Toyd's assured familiarity
with this place and atmosphere: to
see him 90 naturally draw from his
pocket the: bunch OF keys to admit
them and unhesitatingly At each to Its
corresponding door or gate. Yet. this
was where he belonged-only there
should have been busy life instead Of
this dead emptiness. Their voices ech-
cd loud through the desolation, where
the massive. motionless machinery
stood towering above the visitor and
the slight young master Of the domain,
the metalspotted. roughened factory
floors reverberated under their foot
steps.
As they made the tour from room to
room and building to building, Floyd
grew slowly whittier. his explanations
more brief. When they finally arrived
at q glass-set door marked ONCE. he
stopped short and laid his hand upon
the wall as II to steady himself.

quest, his voice catching. 'Tn one

Stanton swung on his heel and went
out; out to look at the mile track,
where Edgar Floyd used to practice
racing with little Jes tied In the a
beside him, and where later the older
Jes played mechanician to his fathers
driving. And standing there under
the dull October sky. Stanton thought
of many things.
When Floyd came after him, half an
hour later, Stanton turned from his
position against the track railing.
Floyd, what do you figure Is going
to become of your sister," he abrupt
ly demanded.
Floyd stopped. gazing at the other
with parted lips and startled gray
A strong wind was blowing OF

and wrapping his long Goa about him.
MY sister," he repeated. "Why?"
"She is a woman. she must have
some life of her own. You can't keep
her like a nun until she finds herself
grown old without q chance at living"
Floyd continued to gaze at him, say
ing nothing: that half-hour in the Of
Ace had left him almost wan in the
gray afternoon light.
