most severed and his right leg broken
at the hip and in two other places.
Amputation of the left leg at the hos
pital was necessary.
His age and the shock which at
tended the accident, coupled with loss
Of. blood, caused his death.
Surviving are his wife, a daughter
and son.

But something else caused Shea to
pause. A groan came from Etie's
parted lips and he stirred heavily
in the back seat. In "A flash Shea
had brought the car back into line
and started for home.
Judith sank back against the seat.
After some moments the driver
spoke. Thought the other pike
would be better driving and not
much farther" But his words
sounded forced.
The old car made good speed over
farms and over thunderous wooden
bridges.
They shot from hilltops into dank
little mist filled hollows, where the
frogs croakcd. and out again into
long stretches of level white road.
where the car gathered speed and
noise.
Whch tho first scattered houses
Of the town were in sight, Shea
drew the car to a stop and turned
to face Judith. "What'll we do with
him." he asked. "Takc him to the

Judith considered for a moment.
EYES," she said "Wcll take him
home first and then we must hurry
to College road. 1t is past one
o'clock"
The houses Of fraternity row were
all quiet and dark as they raced
down the street. In front Of the
Sigma Psi house Shea drew up with
out directions from Judith. He had
evidently been there before. She
glanced wOndcringly at the man,
but did not question him. He
climbed out Of the car and began the
arduous task of awakening Eric.
Hi, there, Waters, come to.
You're home. Wake up" Eric's
head only waggcd pathetically as
Shea shook him and his limbs re.
manned limp. Judith turned away
from the sight with grimacc of
disrust
"Hcrc he comcs,' said Shea, as
the inert body stiffencd at last and
slipped from the running board to
the sidewalk. He put an arm un-
der Eric's and started up the walk
with him.
Judith waited impaticntly. Final
ly the front door Of the house
opened and she saw someone TAX
ing Eric out of Shea's arms. The
man turned back toward the car.
"Fine little jag" he commented

Huh, must say you're sociable

road. Judith jumped out at the
Stedway doorsteps and ran up the
walk. She could not bring herself
to thank the man. But to her sur
prise she found him close ut her
heels.
"Can you get in: Have you got
a key" he asked.
Judith gasped. Its in Eric's

undecided what to do. Shea stood
with his hands in his pocket looking
at her.
Judith looked at his face in the
moonlight. Then she walked across
the porch and turned the bell handle.
But almost before the sound rang
through the house someone opened
the door.

must have been going at speed of
S5 or 20 miles an hour.
Roy Andrews the chauffeur testi-
fed that he was going at Is miles an
hour by orders from Mrs. Stockholm,
that he blew his horn and speeded up
to rs miles an hour to pass the truck
when 1t swung In front of him, the
driver giving no signal. He estimat-
ed the distance from the place where
he put on his brakes to where he
stopped as 20 feet.
Mr.. Sweetser, a guest at the home
Of Mrs. Stockholm, who was with her
at the time of the accident, declared
that he had driven cars in America
and abroad for % years, that he
could see no advantage In <-wheel
brakes, and that while he could give
no definite statement as to distance
he had heard the chauffeur blow his
horn.
Mrs. Stockholm took the stand and
testified that on account of suffering
from three broken ribs she had is
sued positive instructions to her
chauffeur never to exceed Is miles
per hour as her injury would not al
low comfort In riding at a greater
rate of speed. The statement that she
never rode at a greater speed was
however, 'refuted by the admission
that she had come from New York to
West Gardiner, distance of 500
miles the first part of the week In Ia
hours.
Attorney E. L. Goodspeed appeared
as counsel for Mrs. Stockholm and in
summing up the case declared that
the State Highway Commission had
adopted the practice of allowing cars
to exceed the Is miles an hour limit
while passing another car, otherwise
traffic congestion would result He
also said that If the Is mile limit wa
lived up to- there would be a funeral
procession of cars from New York 10
the coast. He felt that these people
had done no differently than any one
would have done under similar cir
cumstances.
o. B. Clason, attorney for Mr..
Stultz pointed out that while the
State Highway Commission had
stated that 1t was proper to exceed
the Is miles limit it was providing
there were no accidents, that in ex-
ceeding the limit the driver of a car
was taking the responsibility for his
action that the law should be lived
up to.
Judge Atkins announced that In
view of the fact that the driver OF
the car admitted to speeding up to "a
miles an hour he would have to i'm
pose sentence as given above, even il
there had been no accident.
