CHAPTER VII.

Six o'clock was the hour set for the
start of the Beach race. And It was
Just seventeen minutes past five
when Dick French. hanging in
frenzy of anxiety over the paddock
fence circling the inside Of the mile
oval. uttered something resembling a
howl and rushed to the gate to signal
his recreant driver. From the oppo-
site side of the track Lestrange waved
gay return, making his way through
the officials and friends who pressed
around him to shake hands or slap
his shoulder caressingly. jesting and
questioning. calling directions and ad-
vice. A brass band played noisily in
the grand-stand. where the crowd
heaved and surged; the racing ma
chimes were roaring In their camps.

strange crossed the course to the CEN
trail field. THE cars are going out

and the other man has been getting

well. he can get unready." smiled
Lestrange. Keep cool. French; I've
got half an hour and could start
now. I'm ready"
He was ready; clad In the close-fit-
ting khaki costume whose immaculate
daintiness gave no hint Of the GER
tainty that before the first six hours
ended 1t would be wreck Of yellow
dust and oil. AS he paused In run
ming an appraising glance down the
street.-The row of tents. the white

shot out on his way to the track. but
halted opposite the latest arrival to
stretch a cordial hand.

would have more show II you got lost
on the way, Darling"
The boyish driver at the next tent
looked up as they passed. and came
grinning over to give his clasp.

~'Strike up the band. here comes a
driver" sang another. with an en-
trancing French accent
Laughing. retorting, shaking hands
with each comrade rival, Lestrange
went down the row to his own tent.
At his approach swarm Of mechanics
from the factory stood back from the
long. low. gray car. the driver who
was to relieve him during the night
and day ordeal slipped down from the
seat and unmasked.
Hes here" announced Dick super
huously. "Rupert-wheres Rupert?
Don't tell me he's gone nowl Le-
strange"
But Rupert was already emerging
from the tent with Lestrange's gaunt-
lets and cap. his expression study
in the sardonic.
