operation coin-
up beside his
Wbon, thfl brief
pletcd, Floyd sprang
drlrcr for the start, fltanton surveyed
him through his goggles.
"If you arc nervous about my driv
ing and my sense, you had tetter get
oft now," was the grim warning. "For
I drive as I aeo fit, and I'm going to
make up these laps."
"Why arc you wanting time here,
then!" countered tbo mechanician,
practically.
Tbo Mercury hurtled viciously down
the line of training camps and burst
out on the track Ilk a blaring meteor.
Stanton shifted Into high gear on tho
urve, and began to drlvo as he saw
Ut.
The closo-packed witnecscs stood
during most of the next hour, alter
nately applauding and shouting dis
may, climbing on seats and benches to
see. The other racers gave tho Mer
cury room on tho turns, after tho
Alan car tried to steal an. Inside
sweep, and skidding, missed destruc
tion through and with 8tanton by tho
narrow margin of a foot.
Thcro was neither opportunity nor
wish for speech' between the two who
rode the vcrgo of death on tho Mer
cury. Floyd attended ntcadlly to his
duties; pumping oil, brushing th yel
low trackdust from the. pilot's goggles
to clear his vision for each turn,
watching tho tires and tbo other ma
chines. Dut ho modo no protest at tho
deadly methods of his companion.
Near tho end of tho second hour,
tho scream of the klaxon sounded ita
significant warning of trouble
"It'a us lamps out," called tho me
chanician, after n comprehensive re
view of their machine.
Stanton shook his head impatiently,
and kept on; deliberately passing tbo
paddock gato Instead of turning In.
As they shot by tho grand-stand for
tho second ttmo, tho klaxon Boundod
again, long and Imperiously.
"Coin" to fight tho Judges?" lisped
Floyd, with careful politeness.
Tho driver did not speak or glanco
from the funnel-effect of light and
dark into which they wore boring, but
tbo catch of his breath was not-gentle.
However, bo swung into tho pad
dock, on tho next circuit, and halted
ft brief instant to havo tho lamp re
lighted. Fimlllar with his usual
wants, n man ran bringing a. pitcher
of water to Stanton; who swallowed ft
little, then pushod tho vessefso rough-
Tne two men who alternated were
waiting to relieve the two who de
scended from the machine. The work
men swarmed around to fill tanks and
give swift inspection, and the fretting
car sped back to the track.
Left opposite cach other in the flick
ering glare of tho swinging electric
lamps, driver and mechanician stood
for a moment, weary, car-stiff, and
attll tense. Stanton unclasped his
mask with a jerk, took a step toward
tho tent, then turned toward his as
sistant "The three hours are up," ha ob
served roughly. "I suppose yotr leave
me,"
"Why do you suppose that? Are
you through with mo?" Flo7d asked,
with studied quietness.
"I made the offer to any man who
would,. ?, XPC tho first throe- hours.
Tho time Is up; you'ro frco If) get
your money from Mr. Qrcon, and
leave." 1
Floyd took off his own mask and
bared his white, steadfast face and
tired eyes to tbo other's gate.
"I entered for the race, or for as
much of it as you want me," bo cor
rected. "Until you quit, or find a sub
stitute you like better, I'm with you."
They looked at each other.
"Oo rest, then. There is coffee in
side," bado Stanton, and swung on bla
heel.
At tho entrance to his tent ho was
mot by tho exultant assistant mana
ger. "I've got you a mechanician, Stan
tonl" ho cxclnlmcd jubilantly. "I tel
ephoned our fix to headquarters, and
Jack Rupert is coming down tho
chief tester at the factory, you know,
who used to raco with tho chief him
self. .He 'phoned that ho wouldn't see
tbo Mercury thrown out but to tell
you bo was going to cancel his life
Insuranco policy first so bo would not
be accused of suicide for tbo benefit
of his heirs. Funny chap I He'll be
hero before you go on the track
again."
"What fort" demanded Stanton. "If
I kill my mechanician, I kill my car
srid" myself I don't need two mon,
and I've got one."
"I3ut I thought you said'' began
the amazed Mr. Green.
"I waa wrong. 'Phone Rupert that
I'll keep Floyd. Now, I'd Po to got
some rest."
Tho assistant manager stepped t
aside from tho entrance, confounded.

"No," he.'aaswereoV iatcrettVtor
the flrat ttne. "But he will take? tho
wheel again in1 half an .hour.", ?
"AhT I havo heard so much at h'li
spectacular feats, I," she gave "k car!
less, rippling laugh, "I confess I
should like to sco some of then."
"Yes? Well, half the people hers
come to see whether some, of the men
won't take a chance once too often.
They say thore is a pleasant thrill in
watching some one else get killed."
"Hardly that," she demurred. "Still,
if one comes to an automobile race,
one wants to see something more ex
citing than a drive in the park; some
thing more exciting than that." She
waved a fragile band toward tb
track, shrugging ber shoulders with
an airy amusement and scorn.
8tanton surveyed the soeno, the
darkness hiding his expression.
"The Mercury Is marking tlmo with
a substitute driver, tho Duplex is off
with ft choked feed-pipe, and tho Store
wont through' tho fence," he summed
up. "Tbo others are driving to win
by endurance, playing for accidents to
the faster cars. It Is a dull period,
just now. Yet every car there la go
ing fast enough to face destruction if
anything goes wrong."
She turned to him again, and he
knew ber gato Bwept him Interroga
tively, searchlngly. Dut his close
fitting linen costume offered no means
of identification, slnco to purposely
kept from the light the silver letters
running across his jorscy.
"My father Is president of ft tire
company," sho idly remarked. "His
tires are being uscil on some of tho
cars, the Mercury for one, I believe,
and he wanted to watch their testing
under use. So, after a dinner engage
ment we could not cicapo, wo mo
tored down hero from tho city. You
see I havo not viewed much of the
race. I admit this docs not look very
perilous and I am a bit disappointed.
I," again her short crystal laugh, "I
shall hopo better things of the famous
Stanton; I want to admlro him very
much. Dut I am detaining you, and
you wero leavlngl Every (hanks for
your patience."
"Hardly leaving, Btnco tho twenty
four hour race la not six hours old,"
ho corrected briefly. "I am glad to
havo been of nny uso to you."
Sho returned his saluto; then, upon
tho cool impulso of ono accustomed to
doing as she cboio, put her question
directly:
"Ah I am Miss Carlisle; I would
like to know who has been good
enough to aid mo in my ignorance."
"My namo Is Stanton," ho compiled,
and went on.
From tho shelter of tho obscurity he
.looked back. She bad taken a stop
forward Into tbo light and her veil
had slipped aoldo as abo gaxed after
him with an expression of acute and

CHAPTER II.
The Risk and the Lady.
Two hours later, Stanton emerged
from his camp and strolled toward
the paddock exit It was after two
o'clock la the morning; the dark arch
of star-set sky overhead, the black
emptiness of (be central field except
for the line of tents, contrasted oddly
with the gllstealag white track where
the meteor-bright cars circled tireless
ly to the accompanying monotone of
many voices, varied by the occaakmal
wall of the oScial klaxoa. On Ma
chine waa oat of the race,, after galas
through the fence; a heap of disor
dered metal which men were striving
fraatically to restore, to activity, while
la the lllaaalnated hospital teat Ita
driver and mechanism were aaderge
lag a ktadred prooeaa of rehablllta
Uaa. Other ears west la aad eat
from their camps, for oil, fer gaso
lene, for tires and minor repairs for
all the countless wants of a racing
machine. Stanton looked for the Mer
cury, then; satisfied, crossed the track
and entered the apace before the
grandstand.
Along the edge of the cement prom
enade were parked a row of automo
bliea whose owners preferred to wit
aesa the race from tbelr own cara
rather than from the tiers of Beats be
hind. Past them Stanton turned,
avoiding the Are of attention and curl
ov','y he would draw by crossing the

follow. He was going to the restau
