The First Wayfarer Lays HIS Pack
Aside and FalIs in With Friends
The little hall in which he found
himself was the "office" through which
all men must pass who come as guests
to Hart's Tavern. A steep, angular
staircase took up one end Of the room.
Set in beneath it's upper turn was the
counter over which the business Of the
house was transacted, and behind this
man was engaged in the peaceful
occupation of smoking a cornceb pipe.
An open door to the right OF the
stairway gave entrance to a room from
which came the sound of deep, sono-
rous voice employed in what turned
ont to be q conversational solo. TO
the left another door led to what was
evidently the dining room. The glance
that the stranger sent in that direction
revealed two or three tables covered
with white cloths.
"Can you put me up for the nightT"
he inquired, advancing to the counter.
"You look like a feller who'd want
a room with BATH" drawled the man
behind the counter, surveying the ap-
plicsnt from head to foot. (which we
amt got" he added.
"rll be satisfied to have room with
q bed" said the other.
"Sign here" was the laconic re-
sponse.
"Can I have supper"
"Food for man and beast" said the
other patiently. He slapped his palm
upon cracked call bell and then
looked at the fresh name on the page
"Thomas K. Barnes, New York." he
read aloud. He eyed the newcomer

the car around-"And be quick about
It." she added.
The first drops of rain pelted down
from the now thoroughly black dome
above them, striking in the road with
the sharpness of pebbles.
"Lucky it's a limousine" said the
tall traveller. "Better hop in. Well
be getting it hard in a second or two" !"
"You must let me take you on to the
Tavern in the car" she said. "Turn
about is fair play. cannot allow you
to"
Never mind about me,"' he broke in
cheerily. He had been wondering if
she would make the offer, and he felt
better now that she had done so. "I'm
accustomed to roughing it. I. don't
mind soaking. I've had hundred of
'em."
"Just the same you shall not have
one tonight" she announced firmly.
"Get in behind. shall sit with the
driver"
If anyone had told him that this
rafting, dilapidated automobile-ten
years old, at the very least, he would
have sworn-was capable of covering
the mile in less than two minutes he
would have laughed in his face. Al
most before he realized that they were
on the way up the straight, dark road
the lights in the windows Of Hart's
Tavern came into view. Once more
the bounding, swaying car came to a
stop under brakes, and he was relax
ing after the strain Of the most hair
raising ride he had ever experienced.
Not a word had been spoken. dur
ing the trip. The front windows were
lowered. The driver-an old, hatchet-
faced man-had uttered g. single word
just before throwing in the clutch at
the crossroads in response to the
young woman's crisp command to
drive to Hart's Tavern. That word
was uttered under his breath and it
is not necessary to repeat it here.
The wayfarer lost no time in climb
ing out Of the car. AS he leaped to the
ground and raised his green hat he took
q second look at the automobile look
Of mingled wonder and respect. 1t
was an old-fashioned. high-powered
car, capable, despite It's antiquity, Of
astonishing speed in any sort Of 60
ing.
"For heavens sake" he began,
shouting to her above the roar Of the
wind and rain, "don't let him drive
like that over those"
you're getting wet" she cried out,
thrill In her voice. "Good night
and thank you"
"Look outT rasped the unpleasant
driver, and in went the clutch. The
man in the road jumped hastily to one
side as the car shot backward with a
jerk, curved sharply, stopped for the
fraction Of second. and then bounded
forward again, headed for the cross
roads.
'eThanks! !" shouted the late passen-
ger after the receding tail light, and
dashed up the steps to the porch that
ran the full length Of Harts Tavern.
A huge old-fashioned lantern hung
above the portal, creaking and strain
ing in the wind, dragging at its stout
supports and threatening every in
slant to break loose and 60 frolicking
away with the storm.
He lifted the latch and, being a tall
man, involuntarily stopped as he

heads. -: @'..'' -'..''.ern-.
