RESINOL A SAFE
SKIN TREATMENT
You need nev£r hesitate to uae Resl
nol Soap and Realool Ointment. There
is nothing in them to injure the ten
dereat surface. Resinol is a doctor's
prescription which proved so success
ful for eczema, ringworm and other
Itching, burning, unsightly skin erup
tions, that it has been ueed by other
physicians all over the country for
eighteen years. No other treatment
for the skin now before the public can
show such a record of professional ap
proval.
In a single month, two hundred and
twenty-one doctors wrote us indorsing
the Resinol preparations. They would
not have done so If they had not found
them highly valuable in their own prac
tice. They prescribe Resinol freely,
confident that Its soothing, healing ac
tion is brought about by agents so
bland and gentle as to be suited to the
most delicate akin —even of a tiny
baby.
The nearest druggist sells Resinol
Ointment (50c and $1.00) and Reainol
Soap (25c) or you can try them free
by writing to Dept. 13-K, Resinol, Bal
timore, Md., for liberal sample of each.
Its Origin.
Misß Elsie De Wolfe, is one of the
reception-rooms of the Colony club,
WHB talking about the new servant
trust.
"It originated In the Philippines,"
she said, "among the army servants
there. It traveled west to Honolulu.
It is now spreading, they say, on t%
San Francisco.
"This coming trouble reminds me
of a story.
" 'Who originated the proverb about
a rolling stone gathering no moss?'
one man asked another.
"The other man quietly replied:
" That, my dear fellow, is a quota
tion from an eloquent but vain appeal
to a suburban cook to stay on one
mouth more."
Answer to Query.
The act of uplifting the hand during
the taking of an oath Is BO ancient
that it would be futile to even attempt
to Bay when It started. Homer at
tempts to Bay when it started. Homer
mentions It as common among the
Greeks of his time, and It Is also found
in the earliest Biblical time. For In
stance, Abraham, the father of . the
Jewish people, says: "I have lifted
up my hand to Jehovah," showing that
even at that remote period the prac
tice was existent. It was from the
Jews, of course, that the practice
found itß way Into Christendom, where
It liaß ever since held Its place In ju
dicial trials.

CHAPTER 111.
The Finish, and After.
Morning arched Its golden hours
across the still speeding cars, and
melted slowly Into noon. The weary
drivers had settled to steady endur
ance gaits, saving their energy and
their machines for the more spectac
ular work of afternoon and evening.
At nine o'clock that night the race
would end.
The Mercury car had registered
ninety miles more than the Duplex,
both of them being many tens of miles
In advance of the other competitors.
At six In the morning Stanton had
gone in for a brief rest. At eight he
was back, and kept the wheel until
ono In the afternoon. Victory was In
hlc hands If nothing happened to his
car; an hour pjid a half lost in re
pairs would transfer all his advantage
to the Dupletf. He was jealously
afraid to lntrulit his machine to his
assistant drlv4r, and consequently
merciless to hid mechanician and him
self. But Flo)*l made no complaint.
At half-past >ne, all the cars wers
sent to their ;amps while an hour
was spent in laving the track hur
riedly mended by gangs of workmen.
The road-bed Wi places was furrowed
like a plowed field by the flying
wheels. Meanwhile the afternoon
crowds flowed In, filling the stands to
suffocation, missing on the prome
nade, banking In a solid row of pri
vate automobiles behind the screen.
When at half-past two the racers
were recalled to start anew, Stanton
sharply scrutinised his mechanician
bofore leaving the camp.
"I'm going to keep this car until the
end of the nice," he announced, not
unkindly. "If you don't think you can
stand seven hours of It, say so; and
I'll have them find some one to re
lieve you. They can rush Rupert here
from up the Hudson by four or five
o'clock. If you get In for It, you'll
finish, if I have to tie you In your seat.
I'm driving to win."
The scarlet of resentment flushed
through Floyd's grime-streaked pallor.
"You won't have to tie me," he
promised, white teeth catching his Hp.
"11l not flinch. Go on,"
Stanton actually laughed, bending
to his levers.
"I didn't mean to tie you to keep
you from runnfng away, but to keep
you from fainting and falling out," he
explained. "But —"
The car bounded forward.
The track hnd been filled In with
wet mud from the Infield —on the first
circuit the heavy Lozelle car skidded
and went through the fence at the
north turn. After that, nothing could
have Induced Stanton to allow his
machine in oth&r hands.
Hour after hour passed. The noisy
music of the band crashed out mon
otonously; the crowd swayed, mur
muring. applauding, exclaiming, argns
eyed and kaleidoscopic In color and
motion.
At sunset, when the Mercury made
a trip into camp for supplies, neither
of its men left their seats. The beam
ing Mr. Green came to shower con
gratulations upon Stanton, and with
him the head »f the Mercury Com
pany, himself it former driver whose
quiet appreciation had an expert's
value. Stanton was leaning across the
wheel, chatting with them, when his
employer brok«J the thread of speech.
"What is tie matter with your
mechanician, Sianton?" he queried.
Stanton turntl. suddenly conscious
of a light welgl t against his shoulder.
With his movement, Floyd also start
ed erect, their glances crossing.
"Nothing," .the driver briefly an
swered to the other's question. "Tired,
perhaps; he has been working. As
you were saying—"
But the glimpsed picture stayed
with Stanton; the fatigued young face
against his srtn, the drowsy, heavy
lidded syes flashing keenly awake,
the involuntary expression qf angry
shame at ;&• moment's weakness.
And he would sooner have tied Floyd
In his seat, after that, than have added
the fine Insult of offering to relieve
htm.
"Ready," so in i one called; the work
men scattered In every direction, and'
the Mercury wis off onoe more.
"Car oomin'," Warned the mechani
cian, as they a lot from the paddock
entramoe on ti the track. "Duplex
ahead."
Floyd waa hlitaelf again, watchfully
MIMMHke, aoichalaatly fearless.
Color and glow fkdcd from the iky;
once more tb« March-light* flared oat
around the track and transformed it
to a stiver ribbon, running between
walla of ebony darkness exoept where
the lamp-gemmed stands arose. Al
ready newspapers were being cried
announcing Stanton's coming victory.
Driving evenly, steadily, refusing
all challenges to y speed duels and at
tempting none of his deadly tactics of
the night before, Stanton piloted his
car to the inevitable result. At nine
o'clock the flag dropped, and amid a
hubbub of enthusiasm the Mercury
crossed the line, winner.
Later, when the triumphant tumult
In the Mercury camp had somewhat
subsided, Stanton walked over to
where Floyd was leaning against a
column of unused tires.
"You've had twenty-four hours of
me," he said abruptly. "How did It
strike yout"
Floyd raised his candid gray eyes
to the other's fsce, and In spite of ex
haustion smiled with a glinting frank
ness and humor.
"If you want me to tell you—" he
began.
"I have asked you."
"It struck me rather hard. But—
I'd like you to like me as well as I
do you."
"I need a mechanician to race with
me for the rest of the season," Stan
ton gave brief Information. "Do you
want the position T"
Floyd straightened; even In the un
certain light the color could be seen
to rise over his face.
"You'd take me; youT"
"Yes."
"You know—oh, I can tune up a
motor, I understand my work, but for
road racing—you know I can't crank
your car or change a tire without
help."
Stanton smiled grimly.
"I guess 1 am big enough to crank
my own car," he quoted at him. "You
have your nerve, I can't have a whin
ing quitter to drive with me. I make
you the offer; take or leave it. But
remember, I am likely to break your
neck."
"I'll chance that," anawered Floyd,
drawing a quick breath, and held out
his slender hand. "I'll come."
The pact was made. In after time,
Stanton came to wonder at Its bald
simplicity.
The assistant manager overtook
Floyd, a little later, when that young
mechanician, at least superficially
cleaner and wrapped In a long dust
coat, was leaving the training camp
"See here, Floyd; you are going to
race with Stanton right along, he
aays."
"Yes, air."
Mr. Green agitated his foreboding
bead.
"You won't get along With him," he

asserted darkly. "No on« doe*. He,
he la—you'll tee. But you won't
leave ua on the edge of a race, will
you? We are entered at Massachu
setts, for week after next; youll turn
up on time, no matter what be doea
In between T"
"Surely, air. I would not leave any
one without notice, of courae."
"Plenty of notice, Floyd. For you
can't atand Stanton."
Stanton at tbat moment waa In hta
tent, contemplating with cynical apec
ulatlon a floriat'a box of fragrant
green leaves lying on a chair. There
waa no card with theae, but they were
apraya of laurel. In fancy he aaiw the
meaaage that bad accompanied the
orchida, the delicately engraved let
ters : Valerie Albert on Carlisle. Did
abe take him for a matinee Idol, be
acofled; or, what did abe want? Some
thing, "abe wanted something of him.
What? Only amuaement. probably.

of small conventionalities, and arro
ganfly took such diversion as the. mo
ment offered. And should be play the
game to which she invited him, or
decline it? Was it worth wbii«? He
was weary to exhaustion, but still he
remained gazing at the box of laurel.
"You can't stand Stanton," Mr.
Green was warning Floyd, byway of
farewell.
And the mechanician was laughing.
CHAPTER IV.
Ths Road to Massachusetts.
Stanton and Floyd did not meet
again for a fortnight. Their ways of
life did not run parallel except when
a race was due or taking plaoe. The
Mercury car bad gone back to the
factory for a thorough overhauling,
after the twenty-four-hour grind, and
it would have as soon occurred to
Stanton to seek out his machine as
his mechanician. Some drivers grow
sentimentally attached to their cars,
watching them fondly and jealously;
he did not, consistently and tempera
mentally practical In outlook on the
minor facta of life.
It was la the railroad depot, the
morning he started for Maaßachusetts,
that Stanton saw his mechanician for
the first time since the Beach victory.
Floyd waa seated on one of the wait
ing-room benches, reading a magazine;
in his gray suit and long overcoat, his
head with lta clustering bronze curls
bent over his book, he looked like a
particularly delicate and pretty boy
of eighteen, perhaps even a trifle ef
feminate. Remembering that cry
from the midst of the perilous strug
gle with the Duplex: "Cut him closer;
he's weakening! Cut him close!"
Stanton's lip curved In amused appre
ciation as he crossed to the absorbed
reader.
"Good morning," be remarked.
Floyd glanced up, then rose with
an exclamation and held out hlB hand,
hla ready color rising like a girl's un
der his fine, clear skin.
"Good morning; I didn't see you
coming," he responded.
"No, you were reading. You are go
ing—"
"To Lowell. The car Is aboard, you
know."
"I did not know," corrected Stan
ton with indifference. He waa study
ing the other curiously, striving to
analyse his singular attractiveness
and to And the reason why he, Stan
ton, should feel pleasure at the pros
pect of having this companion at bis
side; he, who had never formed friend
ships as most men did.
Floyd laughed, his grey eyes mis
chievous.
"W«ll, I know. We've been working
all the week at the machine, and we've
got her ticking like a watch. You
doot bother about that—l suppose rou
don't have to, It's tip to us. But If
you will take her out on the track to
morrow, I'll tune her up to the last
notch."
Suddenly Stanton put hla finger on
the thing he sought, one thing that
made this mechanician different; and
voiced hia thought before considering
wisdom.
"You're a different class, Floyd," be
stated abruptly. "You're no workman,
nor descendant of workmen."
Floyd atared, startled at the brusk
irrelevanoe, then melted Into a
straight, direct smile as be met tbe
keen gase.
