Daphne grew furious. She felt now
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

Wetherell laughed: "Bless li'P heart

They whipped round a somber jut in
the road, and his s%earchlight painted
instantly in white outlines against the
black world a wagonload of sleepy
children returning from some village
church affair. They were singing,
drowsily, "Merrilee we ro-la-long-ro-la-

Daphne and Leila seemed to die at

There was nothing for Wetherell to
do but what he did. He spun his wheel
and drove his t~hunderbolt into an
open concrete culvert. There was a
furious racket. The car turned a
somersault and crumpled in a shud-
dering mass.
Wetherell, pinioned under the wheel,
was knocked this way and that and
his beautiful head cracked IN the con-
crete like a china dolls.
Leila was snatched from the car as
If invisible hands had caught her ex-
quisite body for a lash to fog a tele-

it turned over. And then the gasoline
spilled from the shattered tank and
caught fire.

Gasp at Yank CALAMITY.

The following passage is quoted from
an article about the soldiers Of the
American army Of occupation in a Co
blenz paper:
''These gentlemen from abroad /.
stand up in the crowded electric cars
and offer their seats to any woman,
even though they be peasant girls
This is a custom that surprises US,
habituated as we are to the rough
ways of war time, like a memory from
the ancient past. They make way for
ladies on the sidewalk and step aside
to let them enter the shops first. In
deed, the ladies in Coblenz have been
much astonished at the excessive gal
lantry OF the Yankees"

CHAPTER XIV.

Underneath the machine lay the
relics Of Wetherell, who would suffer
no more here. Close by vas Daphne
Kip, whom a brief Inconsistencies
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 w~olfhounds held
in a weakening leash. They had not
yet quite reached her, but they missed
her less and less.
A small distance off, Leila lay still,
in almost her first ~ungraceful attitude,
oblivious for a few moments Of the
outrages the blind forces of momen-
tum had wreaked on her with the fury
of a Bill Skies trying to beat a woman
to death.
The chauffeurs and passengers Of
cars that drew up in frightening
queues ran to the scene of Wetherelrs
disaster.
At first they could not see Weth-
ereIl, but they saw Daphne and her
peril, and they set frantically to work
to drag her free. But she was so
caught that they could not release her
until they should emove the car. They
pulled and heaved, but it was jammed
into the culvert and the ditch so tight
that they could not bulge it, though
they took risk enough and suffered
blistered hands and charred clothes.
At last one chauffeur fastened a
chain to the rear axle Of Wetherelps
car and to the front axle of his, and,
by alternate backing and swerving,
dragged and hoisted Wetherell's car
upward and rearward while other men
snatched Daphne from beneath and
away from the flames just as they
were nibbling at her skirts.
At the same time they disclosed the
body of Wetherell and with huge diff
ficulty fetched it forth. Still others
found Leila in a heap, a toy with
broken joints.
The last thing Daphne had known
was the sensation of being shaken to
death, a helpless mouse in a terriers

CHAPTER xxIII-contlnued.

Mrs. Romilly finished her wholesale
order and wheezed out like a grand
old automobile of an early model.
When they were alone the partners
gazed at Daphne's list and then at
each other.
"What on earth made you take it?"
Mrs. Chivvis exclaimed. "You know
eve can't fill It,"
"We're going to fill it."
"But how?'
"Darned If l know, but Well, we'll
have to get a lot of sewing-women in
and sit up nights"
"But the material. We can't buy
those things on credit"
'"TIen I'll borrow cash and pay for
It,"
"Bvr1ow where? You said you
wouldn't trouble your brother"
"T1n not responsible for what / have
said or may say. Besides, 1 don't mind
going to Bayard, now that I can go
with success. I'll call or him in a
business way and offer him interest
and all that. / guess Mrs. Romilly's
name is good enough collateral"
All unconscious of Daphne's affairs,
Bayard was approaching his Office
with the brisk manner of a 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
Leila's whip had taken greater risks
for higher prizes. The crash in the
street had found him so extended that
ne could not recover without addition
al help. That very morning one of
his brokers had called on him for a re-
newal of margins. He had to have
Eve thousand dollars or he would lose
fifty.
Rebuffed from every door, Bayard
had gone to Wetherell'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

NOT STRONG ON NAVIGATION
Records Show Weakness of the Span
ish Sailor in That Highly I'M
portant Matter.

The Spaniards of early days were
most adventurous explorers, but, for
all their discoveries of distant lands,
very poor navigators. After coming
upon the Solomon islands in the west
ern Pacific, they could not find them
again, and they were lost for $50
years.
The water supply of their ship was
kept in big earthen Jars. AS it was
impossible to provide in this way
enough to drink for a long voyage,
they took to sea many large mats,
which when it rained were spread to
catch the drops. From the mats the
water was drained off into the jars.
Probably it was no fault of Column
bus, but his first voyage to America,
which occupied two months time, was
mainly a drift. When he landed in
Cuba he thought he had reached Asia,
and sent an expedition inland to treat
with the great khan of Tartary. Later
his flagship, the Santa Maria, ran
tives Of which island welcomed him
most Hospitality. He noticed three or
four of them whose naked bodies show
ed scars which they attributed to
bites inflicted by %man-eating saw
ages of another island called Can
iba. Whence the origin of the word
cannibal-the island inhabited by these
anthropophagi being Porto Rico. /,
Less than 100 years ago Spain still
claimed ownership of the whole Pa
cifc ocean, declaring it a Spanish lake
on the strength of Balboa's discovery
in 1913. Acting upon this idea, the

Towns and Their Trades.

Some towns are famous for the in
dustries they carry on, either because
they are favorably situated for their
work, or else because some leader Of
the industry has started a model fac
tory which has grown larger with the
lapse of time. Perth with it's climate
especially suited for dyeing, and Bel
fast, with it's linen manufacture, are
examples of the former, while Por4
Sunlight, famous the world over for
soap, and Saltaire, with it's manufac.
ture of mohair and alpaca, W their
prosperity in each case to n man.
Keighley makes a speciality of textile
machinery and Brighouse is said to
spin more silk waists than any town
in England, while the Rossendale val.
ley provided half the world with fell
slippers. Stapleford, in Cambridge,
makes a speciality of parchment; Dav-
entry whips were once considered bet
ter than any, while Wymondham, in
Norfolk, was noted for it's wooden
tops.

He kissed her and patted her back
with doleful tenderness and she went
out of his Office into the elevator. It's

chains gave it a congenial prison feel

into seemed even more appropriate.

| FER a moan of such woe az CanSeled
all Bayard's grievances against her.
Once Bayard's resentments and
~Jealousies were swept from his mind,
his old love came back throbbing and
leaping. His very soul bled and he
dropped to his knees, his arm thrown
across that bundle of wreckage which
had been his choice among the worlds
beauties.
He was soon dragged from his COM
muniOn with his Once-mOre uncOn-
scious bride by the young doctor, VIC

ing to do? Kill her? She's weak and
her hearts f1uttering. Cheer her up
if you can. If you can't, you can't
stay. Better not stay. anyway"
Bayard apologized cravenly and
promised better behavior, and was
permitted to steal back to Leila. He
took her one unchanged hand; 1t was
as beautiful as the severed hand OF a
/ Greek statue, and as marblish white
and cold.
The inferno led him at length out
into the corridor. And now Bayard
remembered that he had also q sister,
| an only sister, in this same tavern OF
pain. His heart went out to her. He
remembered, too, that they had a fa-
Their and a mother to tell or deceive.
The inferno assured him that
Daphne's injuries were slight. She
looked sad enough when he peered in
at her, though she was far from the

dreary estate of Leila. She was
asleep, bat she woke at the sound of
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
mind for comfort. She could think of
nothing so comforting just now as a
hearty, ~reassuring lie. She whispered
Its all my fault, honey. You see,
Mr.. Wetherell was taking me out for a
ride. / met Leila. She told me you
t%elephoned you weren't coming home
for dinner. She looked SO lonely that
/ asked her to come along and chap
eron us. I'm to blame for 1t all. Can
you ever forgive me?"
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 a time we love to bow on,
own heads in shame and cast ashes
upon our hair. The taste of ashes il

hcer whose natural and affected gruff-
ness was aggravated by the unpleas-
ant nature of his tasks. He had only
one eye.
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 a 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
on his desk and gripped his hot brows
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 vas beaming with af-
lection and Importance, and when at
her mischievous "Ahem!" Bayard
looked up she was SO pretty that he

and rush forward to embrace her.
She was wondering how to state her
errand when the telephone rang. 1t
startled Bayard strangely. He caught
it to his lips as a topper lifts a glass.
He pressed the 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.
Bayard hung up the receiver, pushed
the telephone away as a bitter cup,
and laughed sheepishly.
"Great convenience, the telephone!
Just learned that I've dropped more
money than | ever hoped to have. For
want Of a nail the shoe was lost Oh
well, it saves me from spending it
foolishly. But if I'd had five thousand
dollars My God! if I'd had five

Daphne could think of nothing more
helpful to say than a casual, "How's
Leila?"
