he passed DIck Dicky in ine e race o of which Avis had bad spoken t t suddenly roused my mr fears tears fears al- al ays ys too ready to be spurred Of Qt Of what was was vas he afraid fraid this bigan big bigan an an xi whose personal bravery is a a mat mOlt matr r for pride to nIl all his intimates I fight my breath as I waited 10 for ugh's answer You couldn't call it a race Hugh d ignoring or probably not hav- hav t rig 1 heard the comment which Avis A ad id made He started first but I Ia a assed d him although he was going good pace But I was in hurry to get back back several for several rea- rea ns as ns The last words came almost as an and were V spoken in in uch lower ower terms th than n the rest Th They y yvere were vere not particularly flattering to Avi but the ci conviction came to mel me l 4 hat at t he was n not t thinking of her at all all all- hat his anxiety to get back quickly Was because h he was eager for the conversation con con- with my father which both ten men now were carrying on in low lowI I ones es unintelligible to the rest of oC us I z It t doesn't doesn t matter whether it if was a ace or not Harry Underwood began ut Hugh Interrupted him sharply tut Youre right he said He ought Clo d. d be he here long before now for I 1 passed assed him not three miles from ere Well go have ave a a see look Mr Underwood said and my father father Cather said something to Hugh which sent him forward to Harrys Harry's side a To Find Dicky r and Ede Better Better take my car Its It's on the give ive just has to be turned around tie e said And the older man answered That's oke by me mc as he propelled Jils ls powerful body toward to the car at atri a ri apace pace much swifter than his usual l lounging gait f l did not speak but Hugh must have Censed the sudden terror tenor that was mine fline for he paused as he p passed me l. l ve probably run out of gas jie Je said and I 1 knew he meant the Commonplace ci words word as a distinct message message mes mes- sage of f r reassurance ass rance But I 1 have plent and I always carry a device for transferring gas from one tank f another when emergency calls for such a procedure So you'll see us b back l ver very sh shortly l Fear of an m Accident I t. t Thank you rou I 1 said and it was all nIl I 1 could do doto to get the words out For I I not believe that Hugh really thought lack of gas to be the reason for this re rescue cue party parly with the haste accompanying mc its departure i i DIcky carel careless ss to the extreme h bout about bout most details of living is meticulous ulous in his attention to the needs of his car car He is a devotee repeating the ritual Gas oil water tires and battery every time tame he t takes kes his car out I 1 was ver very sure sure that whatever cr th the r reason for the delay in my husband hus hus- bands band's s homecoming lack of gas was not to to-be to be considered 1 II I sure sure of something else also If n Har Harry Underwood and Hugh Grantland Grantland Grant- Grant land believed belIe Dicky to b be loitering along oong in the moonlight perhaps park park- lag ing th the car for a chat with Edith or kiss t-kiss kiss or t two neither of them would have p proposed going after the car The instinct of all men cn to stand by each other in peccadilloes as well asa as asa a desire to protect me from the possible possible possible pos pos- sible discovery that Dicky had loitered loi loi- iol- iol purposely upon the way home would have kept them from this proposed proposed pro pro- posed trip There remained but one alternative tive tivo to m my heated imagination Inflamed In In- flamed named with the vague threats of Lee LeeChow LeeChow LeeChow Chow and m my fathers father's odd behavior following my interview with the high highborn born Chinese I 1 scouted the more I probable theories of tire trouble or or orsome orsome I Isome some other accident to the car and made up my mind that Hugh Harry and md my father shared an apprehension sion slon of some threatened danger to my husband I clenched my hands into my palms as lS Harry and Hugh climbed into t the e car Clr and Hugh turned it and started down the driveway at a furious pace But I 1 made no outcry and was even able to smile at Avis is when she nodded her head with a satisfied little chuckle and said Graham and I 1 dont don't believe Mr Miss Fairfax will thank those men fo for coming after alter them Oh yes ye mummy I as her mother gave a shocked little exclamation I 1 know I ought not to have said Bald that Please forgive me Mr Mrs Graham But although I gave her a n laughIng laughIng laughing laugh- laugh Ing assurance of pardon x I gave no credence to her catty little sp speech ech All my faculties were focused upon the road along which presently dashed back Major Grantland's car As it came to a stop almost in front of oC me I r saw that Dicky was slumped against Harry Underwood with Edith bending bending bend bend- ing anxiously over him Continued tomorrow
