The meeting with the little boy and the quick friendship and confidence which had beta formed between them ; the mishap, and the trip to the house by the river these were logical and easily followed. But why, of all the houses in tbe world, should It have been Zen Transley's house? Vby. of all the little boys In the world, should this have been the son of his rival and the only girl he had cvei the girl he had loved most In all his life? Surely events are ordered to some purpose; surely everything Is not mere haphazard chanr-e- l The fatalism of the trenches forb::de any other conclusion ; and If this was so, why had he been thrown Into the orbit of Zen Transley? He had not sought her; he had not dreamed of her once in all that morning while her child was winding Innocent tendrils of affection about his heart And yet how the boy had gripped him ! Could It be that In some way he was a small Incarnation of the Zen of the Y.D.. with ail her clamorous passion expressed now In childish love and Had some Intelil-gem-above his own guided hlin into this environment, deliberately inviting him to defy conventions and blaze a path of broader freedom for himself, and for her? These were questions he wrestled with as the shadows crept down the mountain slopes and along the valley at his feet. For neither Zen nor himself had connived at the situation which had made them, of all the people in the world, near neighbors In this silent valley. Her surprise on meeting him at the door had been as genuine as his. When she had made sure that the boy was not seriously hurt she had turned to htm, and Instinctively he had known that there are some things which all the weight of passing years can never crush entirely ' dead. He loved to rehearse her words, her gestures, the quick play of sympathetic emotions, as one by one he reviewed them, "You! I am surprised I had not known " She had become confused In her greeting, and a color that she would have given worlds to suppress crept slowly through her cheeks. "I am surprised, too and delighted," he had returned. "The little boy came to me In the field, boasting of his braces." Then they had both laughed, and she had asked him to come In and tell about himself. as he recalled It The llvlns-rnowas marked by the simplicity appropriate to the sunimr home, with Just a dash of elegance in the furnishings to supgest that simplicity was a matter of choice and not of necessity.

"Here and there are big atones hidden in the grass. If we were to hit one It might dump us off." The little chap chuckled. "Nothing could dump you off," he said. Grant reflected that such Implicit and unwarranted confidence Implied a great responsibility, and he drove with corresponding care.

This will cause Improper timing, known generally as a "late spark." That be ing the case, the result will be quite similar to driving with a retarded spark. The only difference will be found In the diilkulty with which this trouble is located, as It generally takes an experienced mechauic to find this nbtle, Insidious enemy of the motor ist. But the driver of the car will usually be able to tell Just when the spark Is "late," by feeling a loss of "pep" In his engine. Should he notice this defect and find that throwing the spark forward does not remedy the condition, then hp can be pretty sure the trouble is in the breaker box. Remember that there are 7,800 sparks a minute- - In the average six cylinder car, and it Is hard enough to keep the engine cool with a temperature of 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit around the cylinder walls while ever thing is running smoothly, without adding to the burden of the cooling system.
