There was a headline '" lurched forward. ' Don't be, a fool, Doris," unreason Me words poured from Rocky: "This to strain vour eves 'rviiu' to read a paper. If you would onlv do what I ask!" Doris, with the glasses slippe.l back ir.tc place, hwked at Rocky. His lips weie tense in a desperate sort f an. niiyanoe. She wondered what had up set him. His eyes moved with a light weariness across the road in front of them- He was quiet for a while. Towards nightfall thev neared the Vermont border-line. A little before uarK. Koeky stopped the car and they got out for a picnic supper. Doris asked him where they were going to spend the night. "In the car," he answered grimly. This trip doesn't end for nobody or nothm' until we get to Canada." "You are in a hurry." she answered, "I think you could at least have asked me if 1 minded not going to a hotel" "I could have." he replied cheer fully, "but 1 had my plans all made to drive riirht through the niflil " "And what you say goes!" She- gave him an unflinching glance. "Dn right!" He began to whistle. It was evident that he was Ix-gin- mg to leel pleased over the dav's Work. Not far behind them, another crazy car was speeding. Rocky speeded around a curve the other car gaining. Roeky's foot came down harder on the gas. but the other one was up along side of him. It passed him noisily hitting the front of Roeky's car a jarring whack. Rocky yelled after him, but tin' re mark was lost in the noise of engines. There was a limp rattle in Roeky's car now- Something beside the fen der had been injured. Cursing, Rocky got out. "II." he said after a minute. "I'll have to take this thing to a garage." He peered out at the next sign. They were two miles from a town. He looked sharply at Doris. "And when we stop to have it fixed," he-' said bleakly, "for 'G d '$ sake, don't speak to -anybody !" CHAl'TKR VIII As Doris was beginning to feel sleepy. Roeky's advice seemed hardly as necessary as he thought- Ifesides, as she soon .discovered., there was no one at- the garage with whom she could talk. The mechanic bent over the engine She lozed, vaguely. - conscious .at in tervals of tools dropping and the whir of the motor. Doris started and awoke. She half sat up. An old man who .-looked as if he might have been one of the founders of the village into which they hail strayed was watching her under his puslied-back hat. SVu, thoufht. he was coinir to sav something but discovered that he was chewing. He had dark quisical eyes that.' .drooped faintly at the corners He must be over eighty. lie kept pinching his nose between his thumb and bent forefinger as if he were try ing to improve the shape of it. but otherwise paid Doris his undivided at tention. His eyes glinted at her with, such a knowing expression that Doris almost laughed outright. "Don't you know what town you're in " he finally ask ed. "No, I don't." said Doris apologet ically. "We were driving through on our way to Canada, when something happened to the car.'' "Driving through to Canada, you say?" He advanced slightly, putting One foot on the fender and clapping a vieny hand over the knee, ' been trav eling long?" . "Uh yes. ever since this morning."

The smile was received' like conli detnial information of the utmost im portance . The old man removed his foot .from the fender and started olf in th,, direction of the door. Doris watched him through the small mirror above the front seat. 'triad when he actually had gone. From now on she wouldn't open her lips, not to say good night to the mechanic. She would watch her step. She closed her eyes. "It's her, all right " This time when Iloiis opened her eyes, she discovered that two men were watching her. fiie u- the same old mall, lie had brought a friend in this time, a person of eiii:illy respect ed years. As Doris looked up. he was putting on his gold-rimmed gase to aug ment the mechanical stare which be was directing at her. Having finally adjusted them s,,, l h t they would stay on. he t'nuistarrcd his funibhiig finger to a folded new Ji.i per which he had been holding under bis arm. This he opened up part way so that thp other man could see. . "You see?" he said The other man nodded. Hp glanced lutivciv now at l(iris and said some thing which she, couldn't hear to the man with the newspaper. "Have I been dreaming again?" She addressed the man to whom she had talked. "I would have sworn I saw you go out of the garage a while ago!'1 "You would? His voice was an un pleasant cackle. ".Now whataya think of that? Say. I bet you wouldn't re member me again if you saw nie, either, would you not even if it was in the policP court?" Doris gasped. There was a terrific leer on the- old man's face. : . "Rocky!" .she called... Rocky had followed the mechanic into the garage office, but now he came running. She noticed with relief thai he was wearing his coat again and a smile. ; "Okey once more '' He opened the front door of the ear- "Now we can start'' Then he noticed the two nie. He got into the driver's seat quickly without a word to Doris. He started his engine just as the hand f one of the men fell on his arm. "Hey. look out." he yelled, swinging free his arm, "if you don't want to get run over.' The car started backing out, but the two old men clutched at him excitedly. "Wait a minute young feller." cried the one with the newspaper, "we want to speak to you!" But Roeky's car with a blustering commotion had backed out to the road. It sallied a minute, reversed, took an other gasping leap forward and was up the road in a long diminishing drove like a mechanical de mon. His head was pitched slightly forward, his arms and .shoulders mo tionless as he held to the wheel his senses elert to only one thought, speed. Doris felt frightened, "You seem to know these roads?" "Yeah. Friend of father's lives near here- I used to visit him every sum mer. Rockwell St. Gardens.' Their way lay through dark Wooded hills. "Are e . going to ride all night?" "That depend ." "Depends on what?" she wanted to trout his hand -he iw his uniform. He was a policeman.' I n't he retleeted light, the shadowy outline of his fat face linked stern. Another titan was dou't ing. Doris urned her head and saw that a road ster full of men wa- drawn up di rectly behind t hem in the pine-fringed road. She .could see another police man' getting out of th,, ear. He' held a revolver. "Roeky's hand ipnyered on the wheel. "Don't say anything," he whis pered to I 'oris.
