Could it be, 1 asked «myself now, that he had expected some. thing of Arnaud which Arnaud had not performed?

These questions flashed through m: cylinders, but flashed out again una’ swered, for there was little time to think or argue. Action ,action, was my one js supposed to tell; duty.or I should lose the ground that T/ had gained, So I threw thoughts behind me. once more at the starting point, this time far In advance of any other car, Stupefied ! The 4xperts were stupefied. From end to end of the limense course the news seamed to have spread that something happening; that {t might be a new era had come for the automobile, ushered in by a stranger, an outsider, with a car of his own inven- tlon—a car whose importance could not be ignored. Such speed as mine had never before been recorded. I had shat- tered the world's record. But—the third round was stil to come. A chain made of human links stretched the length of the course, almost {ts length. Here and there spec- tators clustered thickly; elsewhere th grouped !n twos and threes, and mid- way. where there were no steap grAa- dients, no sharp turns to menace the racers, the course Was deserted three or four miles. I however, in making the two first round out of the three, that at a cross-road, far short of the control with its erfm- son flag, a solitary spectator had osen to station himself.

As for myself, what did anything mat- ter now? There was no world for without my Master; and there wa. wild joy !n the determination to end my Ife with his, to batter myself out of recognition so that the plotters should rot profit by thelr crime.
