r '!.! .' IJ.nvi:ig week's ex-.
('.a'
l'?.] by was thrilled with a_ huf;e
pn k .^c or telegrams, twenty in all,
aid every one from Carter. It
seemed that every one of Carter's
finer feelings was highly outraged,
for each ot the twenty telegrams
ended with a stern command for her
to come home at once.
Even in his wildest nightmares, he
said in the telegrams, he ha I n. ver
conceived of a horror equal to that
of seeing her much-loved features on
public posters and monstrous H!'
boards on every conspicuous conn ?
in town, advertising a cheap m
roadster.
Hobby's first intention was to ig
nore each and every one of these
telegraphic outbursts, but by mid
afternoon she had relented so far as
to send him a five-cent post-card pic
ture of Lake Michigan. At supper
time she sent a telegram saying they
had arrived safely and were leaving
early the next morning; and then
kept Rowena r.tvake until three o'clock
in the morning with the scratch of
her pen as she wrote him a detailed
account of everything that had hap
pened so far.
After Rowena had read her single
lat letter and smiled over it, and
frowned over it, she went to her
pocketbook and counted her money,
down even to nickel# and dimes.
Then she called Peter's room on the
telephone and asked if he would
please give her her share of next
week's expense money right away.
"Of course," replied Peter. "If
you need more I can let you have it.
?Don't ever run short of money,
Rowena, we can always squeeze out
a little extra some way."
"Thanks a lot, Peter," said Row
ena gratefully. "I think I can man
age after this. But you're sweet to
make the offer."
l"-\ en Rowena was amazed at the
number of things about which Peter
had his own ideas, all bad ones. The
roads provided an unfailing source
of dimension. Their route was clear
and definite. From Chicago they
were to eo south to St. Louis, from
St buils to Kansas City, from Kan
sas City to Denver. Nothing could
1* plainer. Between these cities
stretched a broad highway, heavily
traveled, expensively paved. The car
was supplied with the best of motor
maps, and the roads were clearly
marked at every turning. Rowena

Bobby, as became a professional:
chaperon, was non-committally neu-j
tral. But so far from appreciating,
her disinterested amiability, it seemed!
more irritating to the others ? than
the outspoken opposition they met in
each other. And often they turned
upon her sharply as if she were to
blame for the entire argument.
It was in an exquisite wooded dell
in southern Illinois that R?wena had
her revenge. They had stopped at a
quaint roadside log cabin for lunch
eon, and Peter, gazing pensively
through a wide-open window, de
cided to do a picture on that very
m
dressing-room, all dimpling smiles in
the pleasant prospect of posing.
"Peter is terribly tired and cross
to-day. poor dear," said Rowena
smoothly-, "Try to cheer him up,
won't you, darling? He's very blue
Tell him about Carter."
"I will."- said Bobby sweetly. "I'll
tell him about the time he proposed
to me. It waS terribly thrilling. We
were out in a canoe "
"Peter's waiting," interrupted Row
ena quickly. "Yes, tell him about
that. Poor dear! He'll be so inter
ested."
A little later, her portable type
writer in her hand, she passed that
way to seek a secluded spot in the
wocds for her own work. Bobby,

Peter was unbearable when drawing p'ctures.
spot. Rowena had spent the morn
ing in the rumble seat iriditing swift
notes on mid-western motoring and
was anxious to transcribe them to the
typewriter before her memoranda
froze on her. So she asked Peter,
very politely, if he wouJd please do
the picture ?f the roadster and the
wooded dell first, while she was put
ting her notes into permanent form,
and then paint her in behind the
wheel later on in the afternoon when
the rest of the picture was done.

i'uul and was setting up his easel, he
said he thought better of it and
would not use her in that picture
said Bobby was willing to substitute
and the change would be a good
j tiling all round. Peter was quite
pleasant about it, really thought he
was doing her a fa\f>r, but Rowena,
from being merely sulky, was sud
denly furious. She said-she had been
hired for no other purpose than to
serve as a dumb model for his art
and that she would jeopardize her
contract by accepting this substitute.
But Peter insisted that Messrs. Rack
and Ruff had left everything about
the pictures to his own exclusive
judgment, and this was his judgment.
"Bobby is putting on her little red
sports suit," he said, "and the cos
tume will show up nicely in this
green dell."
"I know Bobby's clothes are much
better than mine," said Rowena stiffly.
"I know my things are very shabby
and threadbare, but it seems scarcely
necessary to throw it up to me."
"That is very unfair of you, Row
ena," said Peter gravely. "You are
very beautiful in everything you put
on, and you know it. I couldn't
speak unfavorably of your appear
ance if I wanted to."
Rowena, without another word,
plumped herself down behind the
wheel with a set chin, a stern glint
in green eyes, and a death grip of
her slim hands on the wheel. Peter
walked slowly up to her and looked
her steadily in the face.
"Then if you will have the truth,
Rowena," he said gently, "I would
see you hanged before I would try
to paint you in this lovely spot. I
am so disgusted with the way you act
sometimes that I would probably
paint you with horns and a tail,
which, betyveen you and me, I often
suspect you have concealed about vou.
If I painted you the way you look
to me right now they'd never sell an
other Rackruff short of Gehenna."
Rowena's lovely red lips parted,
then closed with a sudden click. Her
eyes grew so wide, and turned so
deep a hazel that Peter marveled he
had ever thought them green.
She got out of the car and went
up to the log cabin where she met
Bobby coming out of the ladies'

in blue when she went by.

"The poor fishes lived happy for
ever after," said Rowena softly.
There were five telegrams for
Bobby in St. Louis and, curiously
I enough, five for Peter also Rowena,
I he noticed, had another fat letter ad
I dressed in the boyish scrawl, and
I watching with some curiosity as she
read it, he saw that while her brows
frowned over it ever so slightly, her
eyes smiled to their softest hazel.
Immediately she finished reading, she
counted the bills in her purse and
asked the wa^to the telegraph office.
"Oh, listen to this!" chortled
Bobby ecstatically. "Darlings, he's
wild! He'll never forgive me, never.
He threatens to send the police after
me unless I come right straight home.
He calls me a little devil in plain
English by Western Union."
"Oh, Bobby," begged Rowena,
"please spare us until we get a little
of the well-known fine, black, sandy
loam of the Middle West out of our
ears."
When they stepped into the ele
vator, Bobby stumbling blindly as she
continued to devour the passionate
phrases with her avidly shining eyes,
Peter motioned Rowena back.
"I want to speak to you just a
minute?about business?if you'll ex
cuse us, Bobby."
Rowena turned back at once and
he handed her the five telegrams
without a word. They were all from
Messrs! Rack and Ruff, saying Rack
ruff Motors, Inc., was in a state of
persistent persecution at the hands of
a red-haired chemical engineer who
had threatened to sue the company,
to burn down the factory, and to
beat up every member of the firm.
"What the deuce do you suppose
it's all about?" wondered Peter.
"Oh, it must be Carter," said Row
ena brightly. "He's mad at Bobby."
So they went up to have it out with
her at once. They told her she must
quit tormenting him, and write him
all the details of their trip, how she
came to be a member of the party
in the first place, and to send him a
copy of their complete itinerary. Es
pecially she must call him peremp
torily off Messrs. Rack and Ruff,
who were likely to become annoyed
at such persecution and cancel the
trip.
Bobby finally agreed not to tantal
ize him further and promised to
write him a complete account of the
adventure.

How do You Treat Yours?
?
Many a man who has his automobile overhauled every month
or so will allow his watch to run for years without having it
inspected, and then sometimes wonders why he has to continually
set it, so that it shows nearly the correct time. Doubtless the
watch is capable of keeping good time, but it needs doctoring.
Why not be fair to your watch, as you are to your car? It works
constantly for you?each delicate part performing an exact func
tion. And it is subject to wear and derangement just as the ma
chinery of your car is.
We are prepared to render prompt and efficient repair service.
