So he fought down the desire to put on pa
jamas and was presently mingling with Legs
Mortimer's guests. trying to stifle the yawns
which nearly tore him asunder.
Equally hard to stife was the austere
disgust which swept over him as he surveyed
his surroundings. Legs Mortimer was man
who prided himself on doing these things well,
and the clubhouse had broken out into an
eruption Of roses. smilax, Chinese Lanterns,
gold-toothed saxophonists. giggling girls and
light refreshments. The spectacle made Angus
McTavish sick. His idea of a clubhouse was
sort of cathedral filled with serious minded
men telling one another in quiet undertones
how they got four on the long fifteenth.
His rising nausea was in no way allayed by
the sight of Evangeline treading the measure
in the arms of his host. Angus had never
learned to dance. fearing that it might spoil
his game. and so knew nothing of the tech
nicalities of the modern fox-trot. He was
unable to say. accordingly whether Legs
Mortimer should or should not have been
holding Evangeline like that. 1t might be all
right On the other hand. it might not be all
right.
Finally. he could endure the thing no
longer There was sort of annex soothingly
dark. at the end of the room and into this he
withdrew. He sank into chair, and almost
Immediately fell into restful slumber.
How long he slept. he could not have said.
1t seemed to him but a moment, but no doubt
it was in reality good deal longer. He was
aroused by someone shaking his shoulder
and. blinking up. perceived Legs Mortimer at
his side. Legs Mortimer's face was contorted
with alarm, and he was shouting something
which. after brief interval of dazed mis-
apprehension, Angus discovered to be, Fire"
The last mists of sleep rolled away from Angus

more. He had grasped the entire situation.
He realized what must be DONE He must
start by saving Evangeline. Then he must
save the trophies in the glass case on the
smokingroom nlantelpiece. After that, he
must attend to the female guests, and after
that rescue the man who mixed the clubs
special cocktails. and finally, if there was still
time. he must save himself 1t was compre-
hensive programme calling for prompt action
and an early start and he embarked upon it
Immediately.
With cry of "Evangeline! he sprang to
his feet, and the next moment had shot into
the ballroom with incredible velocity and was
skidding along the polished floor on one ear
Only then did he observe that during his
slumbers someone had fastened roller skates
to his feet with stout straps. Simultaneously
with this discovery came the sound of mu
sical mirth on every side. and looking up he
found himself the center of a ring of merry,
Laughing faces. The merriest of these faces.
and the. one that laughed most, was that of
Evangelne Brackett.
1t was grim, moody Angus McTavish who
some five minutes later. after taking three
more tosses in manner which he distinctly
heard Evangeline compare to the delivery of
Goals in sacks, withdrew on all foMs to the
kitchen, where kindly waiter cut the straps
with knife. 1t was a stern. soured man who
strode off through the night to his cottage. He
had nasty bruise on his right thigh, but it
was in his soul that Angus McTavsh suffered
most.
His love, he told himself, was dead. He
felt that he had been deceived in Evangeline.
A girl capable of laughing like hyena at her
betrothed in the circumstances in which
Evangeline Brackett had laughed like
hyena at him was not, he reasoned, worthy of
a good mans devotion. If this was the sort of

YOU CAN'T WIN

The reckless driver. like
the habitual criminal. can't
win.
Every newspaper carries
the evidence OF that. in
accounts of those whose lives
have been sacrificed to
speed. TO incompetence. and
to carelessness at the wheel.
The tragic end 10 III great
career Of TIE. Shaw. the fam
ed Lawrence of Arabia. :"
was headlined in the papers
of the world a few weeks
ago. Not yet 40. Shaw had
done war service whose
value 10 the English cause
was so great as to make il
almost unappraisable. He
had distinguished himself as
a translator OF Greek clas-
sizes. He was one Of the
most brilliant of living arch
aeologists. He was a mill
ary and mechanical genius of
the first rank. II was certain
that his period of greatest
achievement still lay in the
years ahead.
Shaw's hobby" was TO
drive automobiles and motor
cycles at incredibly high
speeds on country roads.
According A 10 news accounts.
his cycle was going at around
eighty miles an hour when
he was forced to deliberately
crash 10 avoid striking a
boy on a bicycle. A few
days later he died, without
regaining consciousness. His
doctor said that il was best
that he did not live, because
of the terrible injuries his
brain had sustained in the ac-
cident. Congenital reckless
ness had robbed the world
of one of its gifted minds.
Every year IN this country
alone, some $4,000 people
die-victims to improperly
driven motor vehicles. A
mong them are the famous
and the obscure, the brilliant
and the mediocre. Each life
lost means that the nations s
resources have been sapped
each death means misery
and unhappiness TO others.
Reckless driving is an un-
beatable game, at which the
player always loses-and
which likewise penalties and
robs the innocent.
