starter and lighting system and the
demountable wheels and the patented
tire carrier.
The local dealera in Fords have no

XXVI.-A Strange Rescue

Dick hated to see May go alone ineo the night to get a light for the stalled car. Most certainly she was brick. He loved her for her courage
 He sat there in the lonely road, while every now and then a string of motor- trucks went heavily past him. He had to sound his horn continuously.
 Occasionally he shouted to the drivers of these trucks. But his voice seemed lost amid the noise of their big engines. Or possibly they were tired out after a Hard days work, and wished to dodge this bothersome case of break-down.''
 A melancholy half-hour went by. Mary did not return. And at last Dick almost decided to leave the car to it's fate and go in search of the young girl.
 He blamed himself exceedingly for per hitting her to go off alone-nay more, for suggesting such a course to her
 If anything happened to the girl he never could forgive himself He worked himself into a fever of anxiety over her protracted absence.
 Put at. long last she returned His heart leaped with joy. Forgetting the urgency of the horn blowing, he caught her in his arms and kissed her.
 But Mary was down-hearted. Her quest had been absolutely fruitless
 banged on the front door of the last house for 10 minutes before any one re- piled" she said. And then a man put his head out of the window and said he couldn't possibly do'a thing to help His wife was sick or something" all.s
 And at the third place they said they'd set the dog on me if I didn't go away at once"
 Cheer up, my dear" said Dick con solingly Its poor heart that never reJoices. Now I suggest that we give the car one mighty push-out of the shadow of those trees into the mooif- light-so that nothing may run into us = and a friendly passing car may help us later on.''
 He descended from the front seat. and Mary and he pushed valiantly The car did move little way so that the moon shone on the front portion of the vehicle.
 There, that's all right Something is sure to come along in minute! Cheer up my dearP'
 They waited
 And presently they were rewarded = q
 Great Heavens! It's vandaveer! Hi- there!' Dick shouted to passing motor.
 "Calardin! Vandaveer slowed up be- side them. "Of all the nerve. D'you know you tried to pinch my car? Yas, that's my carH' He gave his short, harsh laugh.
 Then, as Dick commenced to explain and apologize, he added:
 Why, it's quite all right No expla- nations needed These little things will Eappen. Now, tell me what's gone wrong? Magnetic, is it?p
 He began to tinker with the engine. explaining al the same time how he'd learned from the doorman in town of Calardin's trip-ana followed him.
 I'm quite Sherlock Holmes" he ldded, with self satisfied grin. He straightened up.
 Dick now took his turn at tinkering Nith the engine. Mary standing in the shadow of the trees-looked on. With ! queer contraction of the heart, she re- collected that Dick was wearing round 1is neck the priceless damon and that
