[Everybody felt cross and nervous, and the air was electric with feeling. Then came the storm—a literal one. | The heat had been great all day, and as evening. closed a storm sprang up g0 suddenly that the party was in a sort of dismay. The stragglers came hurrying back under a sky fast grow- ing purplish dark, and a cold wind came from the lake. The men got things into shape with the greatest alacrity—Man, an old hand at the game, leading. There was no shelter | in sight, and the only thing possible seemed to be to get the curtains and chains on the machines and make the four miles to the nearest village. They gathered everything hastily | together and got safely started just as the rain came down in a sheet with a wind that lashed it into every fold of the curtains behind which the women sat huddled and afraid. Some one | had to ride in a front seat and Elma ‘had elected to sit beside Maxwell { Dunn, who drove the first motor. | Preston managed the other. The | chauffeurs had been left at home. The roads were full of twists and turns and not too good and, with the lichtning and thunder, the way through the woods was full of danger. ! "Jiax saw this, and declded to get into {he open at the first chance ard wait {until the wind was down, even it everyone were soaked. Signaling er with the horn, he succeeded in‘ stopping the car behind and his own | car just in time for a rotten trunk to fall full across the path, catching the front end of his machine and pinning him down. He had instinctively stopped the car ! dead. Elma gave a scream and every- body began calling out. Preston and ' Perry and Sam were down in a mo- ment, but Max seemed stunned. A branch had struck his head, blood flowed over his face, and his legs were | held fast. Elma was wiping oft the ' blood with her white cloak and say- ing not a word. She put her arms 'around him while the men freed him. At this point Nora came on the scene. | Preston ordered her back, but she | stood in the rain, her eyes on Elma, tand did not move. The trunk, a small one, was lifted 'oft in a moment, and Max sat up and felt his face and tried to get out— and fell fainting. “Bone snapped somewhere,” | mented Preston.

The rest of you don’t know—do as I say!” She was waiting to hold him when they lifted him in, and again he opened his eyes—and straightened and laughed. | “I'm all right—nothing broken— just dizzy.” He wavered for a mo- ment against Nora's shoulder. “Steady, dear, don't be alarmed. Are you frightened? I'm all right!” But he had called her “dear!"” She forgot the rest of them: The storm abated, and with much fussing and fuming and planning they all finally got under way again. The whole affair was an adventure. It was hardest on Thomas Preston, on Elma Horton—and on Mrs. Stanton. She had always wanted too much money. Nora knew that she had come to her senses. She knew what she wanted. The sight of another girl wiping Max's face, supporting him, was revelation to her. She could at the moment have slain Elma. Perry fell in love with a girl nearer home, and Sam cherished his bull pups and cultivated his brother-in. law to be. 1((‘ovyrlghl 1913, by the McClure News- i rmnwr Syndlcale.)
