well, we've got him beaten to stand

door and rubbing his hands gleefully.
"Yes," she smiled. But, when the car
was clear of passengers, Mary took lit
tie lace-edged handkerchief and dabbed
it at her eyes. She was beginning to feel
that there is such thing as being too
clever.
lobe Shore, meanwhile. was driving
aimlessly around the outskirts of the
town, cudgelng his brain for some scheme
that did not readily take shape. So dis
trait was he that flock of hens, enjoying
late hunting in the road, narrowly es-
capped destruction. lobe woke up so
quickly that he stalled his engine.
marrow shave!" he muttered. "And
me advertising as a careful driver!"
And then, suddenly, the idea came! 1t
must have been closely connected with
the hens, for lobe gave them swift
glance over his shoulder, climbed out of
his car, grinned a broad grin, executed
few tango steps in the middle of the road,
started his engine, and drove away so
fast that he started huge clouds of dust.
He never sackened his speed until he
drew up in front of the hotel in Doddburg
Center, seven miles away. Then he got
out and rushed into the hotel, greeting
the proprietor with the question: "Where

IRON Pleasure Park to the outskirts
of the village of Enderby is one long
down grade. 1t was down this grade
that lobe Shore, when motorman of the
trolley car, had permitted Mary Ham,
mick to run the car. 1t was on this long
slide that Mrs. Fryer had seen the scan
dalous proceeding that she reported to
Elisha Hammck. Ii was just before leav-
ing the Pleasure Park end of the road,

virtuously.
"You know have done it," urged

"Mr. Morrill, said Mary Hammck in
frigid tones, "do you think l fixed up this
car to spoil lobe Shores business? Do
you think l went to all this trouble to
please you and father? / rant to run this
car.
Bill looked at her curiously and re-
piled: Il knew there was something else
back of it,"
"Well, there is, you see," was the
prompt response. "If you see any pas
sengers, you can take charge. Ring the
bell and We'll start. You just see if
cant run it as well as anybody
"I'll lose my job!" grumbled Bill; but
he pulled the bell.
The car, under the guidance of the new
driver, started slowly down the incline.
Don't let it get too much headway!'
shouted Bill Morrill, warningy.
"Pshaw, l know what to do, was the
gay reply. "Don't you worry, MIR. Nor
