DAILY SHORT STORIES T
| Her I'
Auto Ride
The Best Laid Plans Go
Awry.
By CLARISSA MACKIE.
i Copyright. 1910. by American Preaa
AMoclatlon.
Ann.a belle Dayton In her smurt little
motorcar pmi*«>d at the summit of the
hill and drew a sharp breath of ap
preciation. A Him of distant blue tiv
dlcated tis* sea. In tho foreground
" ere green elnd slope's running down
to snowy beaches. Tho roofs of tho
village pointed up among the trees,
and a church spire gleamed like tiro.
I here were white sails beyond and
tin* black drift of smoke from n pass
ing steamer.
"I his In Kgs t>ettcr than going to
Aunt Edith’s poky musical©,” sighed
Annabel!© mutinously. ‘‘Just fancy
spending tills glorious afternoon In a
lighted drawing room listening to tho
gr«Mit A Ivan Kldn'd, ‘master of tho
violin,’ {mi| iM'ing disillusioned by long
hair, gn>asy coat collar and a pervad
ing presence of garlic!" Annubelle's
dainty nose sniffed scornfully at her
imaginary i>ortralt of the great violin
ist of whom her aunt had ruved for
weeks.
I m going down, down to tho very
«Hlge of tho sea.”
As tho machine sp<>d downward An
nabelle was suddenly conscious thot
something was wrong. Tig* braked did
not respond to her frantic pressure,
the lovers gruted harshly without ef
fect, and there was an unfamiliar
grunting sound from beneath her foot.
i*ho bad boon down this same hill
many times before, slowly, cautiously.
She knew that from the foot of tho
hill tin* street ran down to the water's
<slgo, ending nt the 1 o>< 1 dock where
the boats landed.
♦Nothing could Rtop her npetnl unloaa
the eolur left her cheeks us she real
is'd the almost certain death that con
fronted her. lier UpH net in u straight
line, and her eyes slmne steadily. If
one hud to meet deuth at the close of
a lovely August day wheu-why, one
might as well meet It bravely.
Faster she went, her eyes, darlc with
dread, fixed on a wide opening on the
right. Flanked by uti me pillars, it
seemed to mark the entrance to Home
estato. The few’ pisk'Ntrlans turned
and watched her flight with dlsup
provnl; a constable held up a warning
Imial; n wagon scuttled Into the sldo
walk to avoid her corning.
Annabelle turned the steering wtmel
and a sigh of relief tluttcnd from her
lips as tire machine responded, ,hut
there was no lessening of the mad
speed. Wildly It tore through the
open gateway, ground Into the hard
packed earth of the drive, skidded
•itong a muddy spot under the tret's,
left the drive and pounded along soft
green turr, miraculously avoiding tree
trunks, making straight for the large
brown house set In the inklst of the
grounds.
Another twist of the wheel and the
house seemed to glide past. Before
her was a distant blur of gorgeous
colors—a flower garden In the midst
of which was a summer bouse. To tire
left was a turfy bank. Her head
dropped on her hands that clutched
the wheel, anti she closed her eye* and
prayed.
'1 here was a low shout beside her;
the machine Jolted under additional
weight; a pair of strong hands gripped
the wheel from hers; there was the
pressure of liraktet; the motor slowed
suddenly, bumped Into some obstruc
tion and then bounded Isiek to n stand
still.
"It’s all over now,” said a kindly
voice.
Annabelle opened her eyes anti
looked fearfully forth on the summer
house still creaking from the force of
encounter, on the crushed flowers she
had mowed down and lastly Into the
countenance of a man who sat Iwadth*
her in the ear.
It was then that Annabelle realized
that she was holding the stranger In
a frantic embrace, her hands tightly
ckiHjiod about Ills neck, her fair head
perilously near his broad shoulder.
"I beg your pardon!” Annabelle’*
face turned to di'epent rn**> as she
hastily withdrew from him, but her
hair had caught in n button of Ids
coat, holding it firmly by one long
golden strand.
"■"ist a moment. Then*—I don't want
to hurt you. ft** off now." He sjioko
In n matter of fact tone ns If he was
In the haMt of ensnaring lovely maid
ens with coat buttons every day of
Ills life, "I’m afraid you are pretty
wo|| ahnken up with your ride. You
had a narrow escatie.” He bad alight
f*d nml helpcsl Annabclle to the ground.
She leaded weakly against the sum
ruer house. "You must have saved my
life. Did you did you really leap on
the step as I passed?” Hho was la*
ginning to realise what had happened.
Ife nodded carelessly. "It was easy
enough Yon see. one gets practice in ]
that sort of thing chasing the street
cars." Then, observing her with con
cern In fcis gray eyes, he went on:
“Come and stt down In the summer
house: you must be pretty well knock
ed under with the strain. After you
have had n cordial perhaps you may
feci able to tell bow it happened that j
you Invaded my (lower garden."
H« smiled pleasantly down on her as
lie led the way Into the rose covered
trbor and drew forward a deep wleker
*h«lr for this unexpected guest, who
sank into It with a little sigh of relief.
*’I will send my houaekec|H*r. Mrs. Lar
rup, to you; ahe may la* of assistance."
Annabelle had time to rearrange lu>r
tumbled hair, blushing at the recol
lection of its episode with the coat
button, before her host returned, tray
In lmud.
"Aim. Igircup has disappeared, ajid it
iwnw t*> b*.the mold’s half 1 mutiny,
s*> you must Ik* satisfied with tuy -J nim
ble service*.! Here ure currant wine
uud soms tdacults and a bottle of cnu
de colot no (Isn’t thHt what ladbxj use
when they are upset?’’ He placed th<»
tray handily at her elbow.
"Thanks to you, I wasn’t upset.’’ re
turned Annubelle merrily. Sin* sniffed
at tho cut glass l»ottlc more in gratl
tudo for his thoughtfulness than Is*
cause she noodtsl Its pungent anufln.
"Thank you. I am afraid I’ve made
I you lots of trouble and ruined your
garden. I hope you will allow me to
have It put In order again." She sipped
tho whae he pour'd for her and looked
up at him from her dark blue vyes,
frankly: boyish In their direct glance.
‘Tteally, you’ve given old Jackson
something to do. He’s been eating Ids
head off lately and grumbling because
I wouldn’t let him dig up some of the
bod* and set out other plants. There
he Is now among tlm hollyhocks. See
the grin on his faro? He’s tickled to
death over R."
The man leaned against the d«*orj*ost
and looked out Into the garden, where
an old negro was hobbling among the
torn beds, a broad smile about his
toothless lilts.
"1 say, Jackson, pleoao ask Pierre to
come here and get this «*ar out Into the
drive." He turned to Aunubelle, and
his glance lingered long on her face,
sweetly serious ki the pole* green light
of the arbor. "I think my man can
put your car right Then* seems to he
nothing serbms tho matter with It
probably some small matter of adjust
incut."
While the chauffeur tinkered over
the cur Atinuliollc related the story of
her ride. She omitted nothing, not
even the fact that she had deliberately
ran away from her aunt’s mus|eule ami
the great violinist nor her terror at the
lust when her cur hjmhI down the hill.
The man listened without Interrup
tion. lie Hmlled when she mentioned
Alvau Eld red. and he w inced when
sho described the terrible rld<> down
the' bill. When she had ItnlHhcd In*
told her that he had been sitting In
the arbor and had hismi her approacli
across tin* turf—had raced to meet her.
It was nothing at all.
"So you did not want to see Alvun
Bid red,” ho said n little hiter. "Have
you ever hoard hltn play?"
"Once," admitted Annabellc, "and It
wus ho heavenly It made me cry.
There wuh a big crowd, and I couldn't
see him, and I didn't want to. I know
whut they look like, and I am always
disillusioned after I see them, some
nre ho so grubby, you know. Tills
time he played an old thing, the Inter
mezzo from ‘Cnvnllcrlp/ yon know, and
I’ve wanted to hear it ugaln Just as lie
played It, only"—
"you’re afraid of the garlic nml the
I greasy coat collar, eh?" lie was smil
ing down at her in the friendliest sort
J of way.
"I know you think I’m horrid nln.ut
It nml not a bit artistic, but"
| "I don't like garlic myself," h»* con
fessed cheerfully. "As for quest hum
ble coat collars ugh! Nevertheless,
I'm afraid you do Kldnd nu Injiisth e.
He’s an American, you know."
"You see how narrow and prejudiced
and silly I am," said Annabellc, rising
and moving toward the door. "I n«*ver
even knew that I thought he was a
Pole—or something. It Is growing
late, and your man seems to have fixed
my car.”
'Tin going with you with your per
mission to sec that yon reach home
safely. I’icrre can follow with my
car and bring ine# homo. You have
fold me your name, but I have not yet
Introduced myself. V nit a moment,

With a slight bow be left Jr r stand

and then the strains of the Infcrmey.r.o

she said softly.
He made no reply, (julefly In* put

had brought Anna belle so strangely
Into the garden.
At home he smiled down at her. “I
