again pounding along the road at
breakneck speed.
| Across the Cascade bridge they
sped and up a hill, round set Of
curves and down smooth incline.
Then Of a sudden the car stopped,
for no apparent reason.
whats the trouble now?' rasped
the great Mr.. James.
| "Out of gas, I guess" replied Dick,
hurrying round in back. "Yep, the
indicator registers nothing"
| "What'll we do?" fumed the boss.
'Stop car and siphon some from
its tank. In the meantime guess
I'd better see about OIL" He raised
the hood, took look and nodded.
Good thing / looked. Fortunately,
there's a can In the tonneau, and we
have a rubber hose with which to
sipbon the gas"
! "Here comes a carl" cried June.
"Good," said Dick. "Stop it and
ask for gas while I get busy with
the oil. Boss, guess it's up to you to
siphon the gas"
"Why-I-don't know how" pro-
tested Mr.. James. Dick was busy
pouring oil into the engine, June ex-
planned to the boss.
The oncoming car arrived shortly
and was stopped. In the meantime
Dick discovered two loose spark plugs
and was Tightening them.
"Up to you at the siphon, boss" he
called. every minute counts. l
would suggest that this car be kept
In better running order"
So the great executive clambered
down from the car and, permission
having been readily obtained, thrust
one end of rubber hose into the
| tank of the other machine and held a
can to catch the needed fuel. He
crouched by the tank and, placing
| the tube In his mouth, drew on it.
In a second he was coughing and
gasping, while stream of gasoline
gushed from the hose. He had got
his mouth full Of the liquid.
By this time Dick was through with
the engine. Quickly he snatched the
hose from Mr.. James hand and d.
rected the stream into the can. Then
| it was funneled into the tank of the
helpless car, the driver of the other
| car was offered pay and refused, Mr..
James was hustled into his own We
hicle and away they sped.
| At Alto, the next town, the party
filed the gasoline tank. and then at
a fifty-mile gait the journey was re-
sumed. June enjoyed the wild ride,
but her boss chung to the car with
| desperate fear, as he was bounced
about, and when they drove down
! the hill into Hastings he slumped
back exhausted, limp as Debated
| football.
"Dick," he said, weakly, stake me
| to the hotel. I'm going to bed. This
day has been too much for me. You
and Miss Alton can attend to affairs
| at the meeting"
June turned on him, amazed.
"Why. Mr.. James! Surely you
don't mean it. We certainly can't get
| along without you"
| The boss smiled YEARLY.
! 'sTm not worrying, while Dick Is
there. He's the brains Of the con-
| Germ, anyhow, and I'm just the fig
urehead. Surely you must have mo-
ticed it, Miss Alton. Dick does all
the thinking, and I merely act as the
| mouthpiece. He's run the business
for five years, and I've simply acted
on his orders. Dick, to the hotel for
me-"
And June sighed, and then smiled
at the back Of Dicks head.
