II know she said. You see, nv
darling. | won't have to be by myself.
l can be with you almost the whole of
the time. When you take a car to
Mona | can come, too; when you try
out a car in England. l can sit by
your side. You've next to no office
work, and. If you want me, we two can
be together day in and day out"
IF I want you," breathed Roderick.
20. Gyneth!"
The girl continued ~excitedly. 1--WE
won't take a flat or furnish; wen live
at some little farm. just outside Lon
don, you know. The people will board
us, you see, and give us good, simple
food. And gradually we can furnish
bring home a chair we've found. or q
rug, or a print. You see, with a car
it's so easy, and you've nearly always
a car. Winter or summer we'll have
the laugh of the towns, and people
with ten times our money will envy
our simple fun"
"Gyneth. Gyneth,' cried the man.
And then. being past speaking, he
kissed her eyes and her mouth, and
praised God.
To my mind he had done very well.
And, ii in the end he brushed uncer-
tainty aside, l do not know who shall
throw q stone at him. Because he
loved her. he had sought to conjure up
a picture which should open the lady's
eyes; her reception of his effort had
argued hat her eyes had been open
for SIX months or more-that she was
all ready to we'd him and had carefully
counted the cost. He could have per-
sisted. certainly-his fears were not
wholly laid; but, if he was shrewd, he
was human, 26 years of age, and madly
in love. After all, Gyneth was a beg
gar. If she lay in the bosom of Dives
she must be actually aware of the pres
ence Of Lazarus sores. Again, one day
she would be rich, perhaps tomorrow,
perhaps not for 20 years, but one day.
Her sh!p-her galleon was in sight; her
future Was eventually secure. Above all,
he wanted her dreadfully.
A letter of some Importance left
Mona The following day.
Dear Ewart. What shocking
awful news! Simmons loss is
grieYous. He knew no fear. And
poor Kenny. From what l gather.
he'll never walk again. l always
hated hat race-taking a chance
q minute all night long. Well. this
looks as if our Spanish cake was
dough. / believe we could get Mel
enger, but l don't think he's worth
putting up. And there's no
else-lnless you can get ST. Loe.
He's never raced, / know, but he's
got d way with a car. He gave me
q Tiff IN T11pSlnu HOG fhprn with
a hush-hush Lapland, trying her
out. l tell you the lad can drive.
Maiden's hands and an eye like a
hungry hawk. What's more, he's
young. Moves first and thinks aft
erwards, you know. / should GER
tainly see what's doing. l know
he's sleeping in Paris on June 5.
Yours ever, MAC.
We'll, there you are" said Ewart,
pushing aside his plate Thanks to
this blasted night driving, they're bury
in Simmons tomorrow, and Rennyu
be on his back for a couple of months.
I'm going to put up Akers, because I
must, but he knows as well as I do
he's useless outside a track. He's got
to see ahead five miles before he'll put
down his foot. Never mind. There's
one car manned. If you want to die
in the other, let me know"
Roderick st. Loe stared at his fin
ger bowl.
"Id-I'd jump at it," he said, slowly.
Jump with both feet. But I'm-wel,
I'm engaged to Gyneth Sabine, and
she might stick in her toes"
Ewart's eyelids flickered. Then he
lifted his glass.
There goes a great lady," he said.
Il wish you both every JOY" He drank
deliberately. Il imagine this means
that her mother
mot a beam" said Roderick, ruefully.
There was a little silence. Then
Ewart drew in his breath.
THE old miser," he said. How on
earth are you going to live?"
Roderick shrugged his shoulders. Il
make five hundred a year"
EWart regarded him, blinking. Are
you being funny?" he said.
The young man WINGED visibly. Il
know" he said. Il know. We've had
it all out. But it won't be forever,
Ewart. Mrs. Sabine"
is ST." said EWart, land full of run
ming. 1 uOIl SuppOSt you kLOW ~, Dut
l wa to have been George Sabine's
best man. But she didn't like me a
little, and sc we called it Off"
There was another silence. Then Rod
erick summoned a smile. you're not
very hopeful" he said.
Ewart considered his wine. Every
man." he said, slowly, must do his
own sum You say you've hammered
it out, and l guess you have. How's
the new carp"
st. Loe ignored the inquiry. you
think it can't be done?"
ION the contrary" said EWart. 81
know very well that 1t can. You we're
too young for the war, but you can
take 1t from me that it's astonishing
how used n a get to what's called
doing without How's the new carp"
She's very pleasing" said Roderick
absently. "One or two little things,
but nothing much. I get my expenses,
you know"
"Of course. Railway fare back after
delivering a car. She can come with
you, If you don't mind travelling third.
Shall we go to the Moulin Rouge?"
mo, thanks" said st. Loe. I'm NOV

the Spanish Grand Prix?"
Ewart raised his eyebrows. "It's no
good discussing that. if You're not free -
