 The countess called regularly. She was, of course, dreadfully sorry over what had happened. She had heard something about his character; news paper men weren't always the best. This one was a mere fortune hunter; a two faced one, at that. She was never more surprised in her life when he threw his arms around her And so on, and so forth. half lies and half truths, till the patient Jones felt like wringing her neck.
 From his vantage point tie butler smiled ironically. He could read the heart of this Perigoff woman as he could read the page of a book. The effrontery! And all the while he must gravely admit her and pretend when the blood rioted in his veins at the sight of her. But he dared not swerve a single inch from the plans laid down. It was a cup of bitter gall, and there was no way of avoiding the putting of it to his lips. She ema- mated poison as nightshade emanates it, the upas tree. And he must bow when she entered and bow when she left, Still she had done him an in direct favor in breaking up this love business.
 One afternoon Braine summoned his runabout and called up two physicians. When he was ushered into the desert ed office of the first he sent his card in. The doctor replied in person. His face was pale and his hands shook
 Good afternoon" said Braine, smil- ing affably
 The doctor eyed him like a man hypnotized. You you wished to see me on some particular busi- ness?"
 Very particular" dryly. My car is outside. Will you be so good as to accompany me?'
 The doctor slowly went into the hall for his hat and coat. He left the house and got into the car with never word of protest.
 "Thinking?" said Braine.
 "I am always thinking whenever l see your evil face. What devilment do you require of me this time?'
 "A mere stroke of the pen"

 He was congratulating himself upon the orderliness of the affair when a keen-eyed young man in the garb of a chauffeur touched his shoulder.
 What's this hear about an insane woman?" he demanded,
 She was insane, all right They had papers to prove it. She kept crying that she was Stanley Hargreave's daughter"

 And when Jones was informed he frightened even the countess with the snarl of rage which burned across his lips. He tore into the hall, seized his hat, and was gone. Not a word of re- proach did he offer to the chauffeur.
 
 He found the blundering policeman. who now realized that he stood in for a whiff of the commissioner carpet. All he could do was to give good de scription of the man and woman. Word was sent broadcast through the city The police had to be informed this time.
 Late in the day an officer whose beat included the ferry landing at Hoboken said he had seen the three. Everything had looked all right to him. It was the motherly face of the one and the benign countenance of the other that had blinded him.
 At midnight Jones, haggard and with the air of one beaten, returned home.

Auto Business Here Suffers

Protests of individuals Have Little
Weight. but United Action
Must Be Needed.
By Isl" GROGAN.

Automobile men from other cities when
they come 10 Washington are surprised to
learn that no dealers organization exists
here What? Nothing in the way Of an
organization in Washington? What's the
reason? is the manner in which they put
it. Most every other city that I have
been in has an organization OF the deal

is the way they talk.
Eevsry other line OF business in Wash
ington has its organized body. The one
in the lime light right at the present
moment is the Retail Merchants. They
are away on boosters trip advertising
Washington and incidentally themselves.
Last season their trip resulted in much
more and better business for this city
and the present one no doubt will pro-
duCe the same results.
The money invested in the motor car
industry in Washington represents every
whit as much money as does that in

than in most. The men engaged in It
arc, with but very few exceptions, young
men for it is naturally a young mans
business. II is young In itself and has
attracted to it men young in years, but
many Of them Old in experience. To be
successful requires all the qualities that
make for success in any other line.
Unfortunately though. there does not
seem to be any desire on the part OF
the dealers as a whole to get together

All agree that this one question of what

Speedway.

Indianapolis, May 13.-Ralph DePalma,
winner Of the 500 mile race at the India

racing experience and wants to drive at
Indianapolis in the sixth annual interna-
tional speed battle. Book will drive a
Cadillac in the Chicago amateur race and
DePalma says: 81 can recommend him
as a capable driver
Right away speculation is rampant. De-
Palma did not get his entry IN before
the opportunity closed at midnight May
!. There were various rumOrs why not.
Now with the sale of the car, some who
believe Ralph cannot resist the lure OF
the race, are wondering II Ralph does
not expect to let Book start and then
Ralph be the relief driver.
