They'd pay two dollars for a theater seat without half the thrills — no chances of seeing a car turn turtle or break its steering-knuckle and dash into the side-lines.

Two dollars' worth? It's twenty! But Tish had had a moment to consider, and the turning-turtle business settled it. She shook her head. Ellis," she said coldly. Anyhow, while matters are at a standstill probably some shrewd money-maker here will come forward before long and make a nice profit on a small investment. As we drove away from the fair grounds Tish was very silent; but just as we reached the Bailey place, with Bettina and young Jasper McCutcheon batting a ball about on the tennis court, Tish turned to me.

But it's curious, is n't it, that I 've got twenty-five hundred dollars from Cousin Angeline's estate not even earning four per cent? Aggie was sitting under a sunshade in the broiling sun at the tennis court. She said she had not left Bettina and Jasper for a moment, and that they had evidently quarreled, although she did not know when, having listened to every word they said. For the last half-hour, she said, they had not spoken at all.

Who knows what the future may hold? I knew she was thinking of Mr. Wiggins and the icy roof, so I patted her shoulder and sent her up to put cold cloths on her head for fear of sunstroke. Then I sat down in the broiling sun and chaperoned Bettina until luncheon. He came across the lawn, freshly shaved and in clean white flannels, just as dinner was announced, and said he had seen a chocolate cake cooling on the kitchen porch and that it was a sort of unwritten social law that when the Baileys happened to have a chocolate cake at dinner they had him also.

There seemed to be nothing to object to in this. Evidently he was right, for we found his place laid at the table.

5. Insatiable.

7. Bridies Daughter: The Second Story in the Orphan Train Trilogy.

The meal was quite cheerful, although Jasper ate the way some people play the piano, by touch, with his eyes on Bettina. And he gave no evidence at dessert of a fondness for chocolate cake sufficient to justify a standing invitation. After dinner we went out on the veranda, and under cover of showing me a sunset Jasper took me round the corner of the house.

Once there, he entirely forgot the sunset. Do you know that I have n't had a word with Bettina alone since you came? For I 've reached the point where if I don't propose to Bettina soon, I'll — I'll propose to somebody.

You'd better be warned in time. It might be you or Miss Aggie. I weakened at that. The Lord never saw fit to send me a man I could care enough about to marry, or one who cared enough about me, but I could n't look at the boy's face and not be sorry for him. Tell us to go on and come back for you later. Do you see? You can sit down by the road somewhere. You see it's like this, Miss Lizzie.

Bettina was all for me, in spite of our differing on religion and politics and — ". Runs a sporty car and has every girl in the town lashed to the mast. He's a novelty and I'm not. So far I have kept him away from Bettina, but at any time they may meet, and it will be one-two-three with me. I am not defending my conduct; I am only explaining. Eliza Bailey herself would have done what I did under the circumstances. I went for a walk with Bettina and Jasper shortly after my talk with Jasper, leaving Tish with the evening paper and Aggie inhaling a cubeb cigarette, her hay fever having threatened a return.

And what is more, I tired within three blocks of the house, where I saw a grassy bank beside the road.

Bettina wished to stay with me, but I said, in obedience to Jasper's eyes, that I liked to sit alone and listen to the crickets, and for them to go on. The last I saw of them Jasper had drawn Bettina's arm through his and was walking beside her with his head bent, talking. I sat for perhaps fifteen minutes and was growing uneasy about dew and my rheumatism when I heard footsteps and, looking up, I saw Aggie coming toward me.

She was not surprised to see me and addressed me coldly. That boy asked me and I refused. I dare say he asked Tish also.

For you, who pride yourself on your strength of mind — ". I got up and stared at Aggie in the twilight. What we need to keep an eye on is Letitia Carberry and her Cousin Angeline's legacy. But I was too late. Tish and Mr. Ellis whirled up to the door at half-past eight and Tish did not even notice that Bettina was absent. She took off her veil and said something about Mr. Ellis's having heard a grinding in the differential of her car that afternoon and that he suspected a chip of steel in the gears.

They went out together to the garage, leaving Aggie and me staring at each other. Ellis was carrying a box of tools. Jasper and Bettina returned shortly after, and even in the dusk I knew things had gone badly for him. He sat on the steps, looking out across the dark lawn, and spoke in monosyllables. Bettina, however, was very gay. It was evident that Bettina had decided not to take her Presbyterianism into the Episcopal fold.

And although I am a Presbyterian myself I felt sorry.

Ellis came round to the porch about ten o'clock and he was presented to Bettina. From that moment there was no question in my mind as to how affairs were going, or in Jasper's either.

He refused to move and sat doggedly on the steps, but he took little part in the conversation. In two weeks from now we'll have a little excitement here. Ellis only laughed. If you think an automobile race is an easy thing to manage, try it.

Every man who drives a racing-car has a coloratura soprano beaten to death for temperament. Then every racing-car has quirky spells; there's the local committee to propitiate; the track to look after; and if that is n't enough, there's the promotion itself, the advertising. That's my stunt — the advertising. Ellis; "I want to put that down. I'll use it somewhere in the advertising. I suppose you all remember when I completed the speedway at Indianapolis and had the Governor of Indiana lay a gold brick at the entrance?

Great stunt that! But the best part of that story never reached the public. Cost eight or nine dollars, all told, and brought a million dollars in advertising. But the papers were sore about some passes and would n't use the story. Too bad we can't use the brick here. Still have it kicking about somewhere. It was then, I think, that Jasper yawned loudly, apologized, said good-night and lounged away across the lawn. Bettina hardly knew he was going. She was bending forward, her chin in her palms, listening to Mr. Ellis tell about a driver in a motor race breaking his wrist cranking a car, and how he — Ellis — had jumped into the car and driven it to victory.

Even Aggie was enthralled. It seemed as if, in the last hour, the great world of stress and keen wits and endeavor and mad speed had sat down on our door-step.
