 The Closed Car Passes
 I laughed involuntarily at his non- sense. hut the query which had an- moved me many times before came freshly to my mind. Why did he a- ways make that ridiculous little pause before tho name Of Edith Fairfax? Was u because he always thought df her first when the two sisters were under discussion, began to speak her name first, and then involuntartiy paused because he feared l might notice II. and caught himself and went on for the same reason? No doubt would have gone on torment ing myself indefinitely if my attention had not been distracted hy the sudden blowing of an auto horn back of us.

tho signal that q car behind us wished to pass.
 To my surprise-for I knew that if this car was like the others owned by Maj. Grantland there were few in the world which could pass it if its owner wished to keep it ahead, and he usually did so wish-he drew the car to one side of the road. and tho closed car which we had seen at the station flew by us.
 The officer reduced his speed at once until we were almost crawling. As the car ahead disappeared around one of the curves of the winding road Maj. Grantland spoke tersely:
 Look out for anything coming be- hind, Graham. I'm going to back"
 Hc threw the big machine into re- verse, and with his head turned to- ward tho road behind him began to run tho car back as deXterously and most swiftly as he had been guiding if in tho other direction. I saw that DiCky was intently watching out of the rear window for any gleam of light which would signal the approach uf car back of us. so felt reason ably assured that no accident would happen from this most unusual pro- ceeding.
 X Lame ExCuSc
 The widest surmises ran through my brain. Why was Maj. Grantland doing this bizarre and dangerous thing? The only solution which came to me was that he wished to avoid the other car, expected 1t to turn back and look for him, and wished to present his front lights to it to mislead them in the distance until he could get to another road. But this seemed SO Ffa T-- Fcf. hn1 xfnlu mt 11nt laughed to myself at myself. But l could think of no other.
 We had run back perhaps a quarter uf mile and had rounded three curves when Maj. GrantIand said m staccato fashion to Dicky:
 Road swings in at the left. there. eh?"
 Yes. right by that big tree" Dicky replied.
 Good" In another second he had pulled the big car around. switched to lnormal driving again. and we we're speeding down another road at a pace which I knew would outdis- tanco anything coming behind us
 Hope you weren't frightened. Mrs. Graham." Maj. Grantland threw over his shoulder. "I saw | had missed the road. anu l always drive backward whenever I can. I might need it some times. and it's good practice
 II was the lamest of excuses but l, of course, had no other course than to pretend to accept it.
 ''I was not frightened in theleast." said bit untruthfully, and I envy you the skill you have just exhibited"
 'If you could only make that fliver Of yours stand on its hind legs like that. eh. old dear ?"DiCk interposed teasingly. but his mother. who knew had been literally holding her breath during the backward flight in- terruptcd him: |
