Underneath the machine lay the

gave a short furlough from torture.
She was not alive enough to be afraid
of the long, lean flames about the
gasoline tank, though they kept
springing at her like wolfhounds held
in a weakening leash. They had not
yet quite reached her. but they missed
her less and less.

oblivious for q few moments Of the

Wetherell felt that she had turned
against him and he reached for the
last of the wine to fling it down his
throat. Leila grimly took 1t from his
fingers and emptied it In the ice
bucket.
"Chauffeurs and champagne are a
bad combination" she laughed, but
there was sheer on her lips.
"Oh, very Welt" Wetherell sneered
L in turn. He paid for the dinner and
tipped the waiter with the lavishness
of bankrupt. He tipped lavishly the
man who guarded his car, and swung
out into the road with an instant
speed that would have been prettier
if there had been less danger.
Daphne and Leila were good sports,
but they were not merry. Wetherell
furnished all the merriment, and his
was from wine and despair. 1t was
the wine that brought out the truth.
He had to tell Daphne what he had
told Leila, of his misfortune with his
bally old government.
He asked Daphne to explain to Bay
ard how sorry he was that he was in
volved in the crash.
''Your broth Bayard's aw'fiy nice

that she had justified her presence
here. She held Leila fast in her en-
brace and commanded Wetherell.
"Slow down at once! Do you hear?

They whipped round a SOmber Jut in

instantly in white outlines against the

church affair. They were singing,
drowsily, "Merrilee we ro-la-long-ro-la-

with the brisk manner of triumphant
capitalist But that was bluff for out
ward effect. He was actually dizzy
with loss of bearings and control.
Bayard had carried heavier burdens
than Clay, and under the sting of
LeilaTs whip had taken greater risks
for higher prizes The crash in the
street had found him so extended that
he could not recover without addition
al helps That very morning one of
his brokers had called on him for re-
newal Of margins. He had to have
five thousand dollars or he would lose
fifty.
Rebuffed from every door, Bayard
had gone to aWetherell's office a mys-
terious sort of place surrounded by
guards and secret. service men to
ward off the menace of spies, real and
imaginary.
Bayard had unusual difficulty in
passing the lines. The reason he soon
heard. A new man was in charge in
Wetherells place. a retired British Of
ficer whose natural and affected gruff-
ness was aggravated by the unpleas-
ant nature of his tasks. He had only
one eye. 4.. 81.
He made Bayard describe who and
what he was and what he wanted.
Only Bayard's desperation gave him
strength to ask this old Cyclops for
an advance on new contracts.
Bayard went away in stupor. He
had intelligence enough to feel that he
could less safely attack Wetherell
now than before. He would seem to
be implicated in the fellows malfeas-
ance. He would only advertise to his
creditors that his Wanted contracts
were worthless. Business men will en-
dure much to escape such publication
of their wrongs.
Bayard kept his head high till he
reached his own office. Then he fell
into his chair and propped his elbows

in his hands as if he were holding his
skull together. 1t is the business mans
attitude of prayer.
1t was thus that Daphne found him
when she opened the door narrowly
and closed it behind her as softly as
La Tosca. She was beaming with af-
lection and Importance, and when at
her mischievous "Aheml' Bayard
looked up she was so pretty that he
forgot himself long enough to smile
and rush forward to embrace her.
She was wondering how to state her
GRAND when the telephone rang. It
startled Bayard strangely. He caught
it to his lips as topper lifts glass.
He pressed tho receiver to his ear and
evidently recognized the voice that
said ''Hello" from somewhere.
He answered in monosyllables of
the least Importance, but Daphne
heard gloom in them.

his step, and, turning her head with
effort, opened her eyes and smiled at
him feebly and whispered his name,
and beckoned to him with one weak
finger.
Daphne's heart ached out to him;
she Rugged him as hard as her weak
arms would let her. She searched her

nothing so comforting just now as

He was so grateful, so eager to be
deceived, that he forgot her state and
clenched her hand hard and kissed it
in gratitude for a priceless boon. The
nurse, returning, saw the deed and
smiled, not knowing what joy Bayard
was taking in absolving Leila of sus-
picion and loading himself with blame.
At such time we love to bow our

Tried in Extensive Tests and
Proves Success.

Inventors

ashington.-'Iiberty fuel" the
substitute for gasoline developed by
Maj. Oliver B. Zimmerman and Capt.
q. @. Weisgarber of the gas and oil
production division of the war depart
ment, has proved its practicability in
extensive tests in automobiles, motor
cycles, motortrucks, tractors, station
ary engines and airplanes.
"The net results" said Major Zim-
norman, Showed that although
checked against every commercial
grade of gasoline in the highest types
of gasoline engines, refined to the lim-
1t of engineering knowledge and with
no change in the carbureter, it never
theless develops a greater thermal ef-
ficiency than the best gasoline"
The new fuel can be produced In
varying grades to meet the require
ments of the several types of gasoline
motors. Unlike gasoline, which is
largely all of one grade, the new fuel
can be manufactured specially for
motorcycles, trucks, tractors, airplane
hengines or any other type of gas en-
gine.
1T VIII De possible In the future Tor
person to drive up to filling sta
ton and secure exactly the grade Of
fuel required for his particular ma
chine. This will result in more satis-
factory service from every gasoline
machine in the market and give the
motor owner a maximum of efficiency
for a minimum of outlay"
Other government experts who have
witnessed tests of the new fuel are
highly enthusiastic regarding its fu-
ture possibilities.
For obvious reasons Major thinner
man and Captain Weisgarber are not
disposed to make public the formula
for Liberty fuel" Its base is kero-
sene and some Of the other materials
used are said to be drug on the
market at present.
Major Zimmerman states that mo-
tors using this fuel start more easily
than with ordinary gasoline, that the
fuel explodes at temperatures even
below zero, the mileage per gallon
is greater and it is safe against prema-
ture explosions.
