Carton looked down into the face of an exceedingly pretty girl and flashed a glance at the cars ahead. In an instant he comprehended the situ- ation. “Dollar an hour,” he said gruf- fly, touching his leather cap with what he congratulated himself was a good imitation of a chauffeur's salute. “I shall want you about three hours,” she said simply, and waited while he sprang down and opened the door in the back of the tonneau. In another moment they were speed- ing up the street. “Turn down the next street to 274,” | she ordered, and obediently Carton drew up. “I waut to send my mother out for a drive,” she said sweetly. “Give her a good view of the city and keep the rest for yourself.” She ran up the steps, while Carton | 2 stared blankly at the five-dollar bill she had thrust into his hand. A few moments later down the steps came one of the most eccentric figures he had ever seen. Her clothes bore the stamp of seasons gone be- fore. She fixed herself comfortably in the seat, and with a querulous “Don’t go too fast, young man,” they started. It was torture to Hugh to skim through the residential district with this old figure in the tonneau, and more than one surprised glance fol- lowed the automobile and the oddly assorted pair. KEven the hope of being able to win the old lady's favor van- ished when after several attempts to engage her in conversation she leaned forward and in her high-pitched voice said: “It's no use to talk to me young man; I'm deaf and I wish you would not turn round; you make me nervous; you can't see where you are going.” 909 Franklin Street.

DENNY Lakeland Phone i3} aat Deltvery The butler was just announcing din- ner and there was barely time to make hurried greeting to his hostess and offer his arm to his companion for the dinner. Before each plate on the long table stood a characteristic favor and the laughter was long and loud when he picked up the tiny silver and gilt cigarette holder fashioned in the form of an automobile that stood at his plate. The laughter became a shriek when on lifting the lid he discovered a five-dollar bill in stage money. As bravely as he could, he faced the storm of laughter and jeer- ing remarks which followed, but not | until he caught sight of Howell at the other end of the table, fairly con- vulsed with mirth, did he discover | the secret of his undoing, for beside | the joker, red and unsmiling, was his fare of the morning. When they had all returned to the drawing-room balm was poured upon his wounded feelings, for the girl “I want to apologize to you, Mr. Carton,” she said bravely, “for my innocent complicity in the joke my cousin has played upon you. “I am Mabel Norton, Fred's cousin, and it was he who pointed you out to me and recommended you as the most careful of the public drivers. I assure you that I had no idea that he was playing a joke upon you." “It is all right,” said Carton. “I was playing a joke upon you, you see. I had no business to do it, but—well,” he went on, lamely, “I thought that maybe—after a while—I might be able to tell you that you were my guest and not my fare, anyway—perhaps— well, T hope your mother enjoyed the ride.” “Oh, that i{s what they are laughing at. You see, my mother was not at home when I got back, and I sent my old nurse for a ride It was the fact that you had been trapped into taking her that made them think it so funny.” From an inner recess of his card- case Carton drew forth a five-dollar bill, wrapped in tissue paper. “At any rate,” he said gravely, “I hope you will let me return this.” “You have surely earned it,” she sald, flushing slightly as she saw the care he had taken of it. “I do—do not want it.” “Won't you exchange it,” he said boldly, for that rose?” She unfastened the blossom she was came up to him. } wearing in her hair. With infinite care he folded it in the tissue paper and placed it where the bill had been. “I feel like an extortioner,” he said simply, but there was that in the wne| which spoke volumes know everything, but we do know about, leather and harness and our knowledgeg is at your service.
