THE SCORCHER,

Story of a Girl Ambitious to Run an Automobile.

By FRANK H. SWEET.

[Copyright, 1909, by American Press Association.] This is an age in which women huve not only progressed in making for themselves new fields of labor, but they have done a great deal in the way of manly eports. Our greatgrandmothers when they were girls were content to ride at a slow pace on horseback on a pillion, bolding on to a man. Now our girls ride straddle, taking fences and ditches by the way. V het her or no a girl has ever run a locomotive we don’t know, though we d<> know that girls have not yet adopted that work as a profession. But, as ;the bicycle was a forerunner of the automobile, so may girl chauffeurs be preliminary to women locomotive engineers. At any rate. Miss Tyson placed herself in the line of promotion. i ’ You're crazy, man! The idea of Edith Tyson in an automobile by hersell. much less scorching! It’s prep, tsterous!” “I know it: but. unless my eyes deceive ine. she is doing that very thing and scorching like mad too. You had iscu reply left my auto and gone into the store when there was a sudden rush, a scurrying of people without regard to the order of their going, a yell and threat from a policeman, and then ( the thing was past and disappearing in it he distance. Lucky the street was I vide and comparatively clear. I’ve been fined in this very town for half that speed.” His companion looked at him skeptically. "If you’d substitute the name of Kate Conway the tale might go,” he said. “She is reckless enough to dare even this close town. But Edith Ty|son! Why, I took her down to the races last week, and she wouldn’t let ine run the auto faster than a horse pace for fear I mightn’t be able to control it and wouldn’t even touch the •lever herself. Edith’s a nice girl, but II never figured her as being cut out lor a scorcher. She’s too bookish for

"SLOW DOWN,” HE ADMONISHED "IT’S AN AUTOMOBILE.”

|one thing, and—well, too much of a ;iady for another. Her style seems out ■of place on a bicycle or driving an auto.” “Let's see,” abruptly, “she’s a sort of cousin, isn’t she?” "Sort of—third or fourth. 1 believe. Rut we’ve been more like brother and live next door and that sort of ; thing. you know. But why do you ask?” “Because I want you to take me to see her some afternoon,” promptly. “I’ve met her only once informally at the Catsons’, and that would scarcely entitle me to a call. And, to tell the truth candidly, I haven’t thought of making one until today. Miss Tyson struck me as belonging to the pale, stately type which—excuse me—haven’t much life or individuality about them society ornaments and Inanimates, one might call them. But the vision of her as she flashed by just now,” his iface brightening, •‘thoroughly undeiceived me. I tell you, Clarkson, she •was simply glorious—hair flying, face firm and kindling, eyes flashing and commanding the road—in fact, a veritable goddess who had the right of way and compelled its recognition.” Clarkson laughed. , "1 don’t recognize Edith by that deIscription,” he objected. “It was Miss (Conway you saw. She fits into the •goddess’ and ’glorious* exactly. Now. |l’’i “Oh, tut. tut. man! The two can’t mentioned in the same breath. I know Miss Conway. She is of th* earth earthy, without a particle of the iangelie quality which raises Miss Tyfson above the rest of our common herd.” “Have your own way. Cone.” reslgnjedly. “You met her once Informally, (when she struck you as not having ' much individuality of her own. so you ought to know. But suppose we make 1 a start. There’s the golf at 2 o’clock, and we must get round and home to lunch before that. We’U have to do a little scorching on our own account after we leave town limits.” He stepped into the automobile, and J Corte followed «nd grasped the lever. 1 A moment later they were moving

slowly along tbs street, watched from the opposite sidewalk by the baleful eyes of a policeman. “That fellow’s just aching for us to go a little above regulation speed.” Clarkson observed, “but we can’t afford the time to be hauled in just now. He’s sore over Edith’s passage through town. 1 wish 1 could warn her to make a wide detour of the place when she returns. To be arrested by a policeman would seem an overwhelming disgrace to her.” Cone promptly reversed his machine in the opposite direction. **We’ll go and warn her. then.” he said calmly. *T was a brute not to think of it at first. But. you see. I have grown to look upon arrests as merely incidental but necessary annoyances of a day’s run. 1 was held up three time? last week. Now.” as the policeman on the sidewalk was being dropped behind, “we’ll, try a little scorch to make up for lost time.” “But how about the golf." asked Clarkson disgustedly, "and the lunch? I’m getting hungry already.” “It will be good for your welfare to fast a little, then.” was the unfeeling answer. ,r You are becoming altogether too gluttonous. Clarkson. As for the golf. 1 bad already given that up for the day. You may recollect that you promised to take me out to see Miss Tyson.” “But not this afternoon,” In dismay. “This afternoon is the accepted time. It might rain tomorrow, the next day or any of the days after. Never put off till tomorrow. Qlarksoa. That’s procrastinating.” Clarkson grunted, then laughed. “Funny.” he said; “it seems to be a mutual case of the god and the goddess. Only yesterday I heard Edith speaking about you.” His companion turned quickly. “About me?” he asked eagerly. “What”— “Oh, it was only in the abstract." indifferently. “She doesn't know you except as something she met informally at Catsons. But, like everybody else, she has heard rumors of your foolhardy recklessness. She rather admired the way you rescued the child in front of your automobile, and I have heard her allude to that act on the river and to several other of your slight attacks of bravado. But. of course, a more personal knowledge of you will dispel the illusion. There, that’s right." as Cone suddenly speeded his machine to a third greater velocity. “Now it’s something like. We can probably keep this up to the next town if some fool cow doesn’t get in the way.” * They were beyond the town limits, with an almost straight road ahead. Little by little Cone increased their speed until they were going fully a mile a minute. From time to time Clarkson nodded his head approvingly. Twenty minutes of Aills, then he suddenly leaned forward,-shading his eyes from the rush of air which their speed created. A peculiar dark spot had appeared in the road ahead, rapidly resolving itself into something tangible. Ten seconds later he touched Cone’s arm. “Slow down.” he admonished. "It’s an automobile, and the chauffeur appears to be a woman. Of course it’s Edith. I think the machine is standing still.” Thirty seconds later their automobile came to a stop beside the other, a closer view of which brought a low whistle from Clarkson. And. as be had surmised, the chauffeur was Edith. As she saw and recognized them the corners of the chauffeur's mouth, which bad been drooping, rose in per ceptlble relief. “I was never so glad to see any one in all my life.” she called fervently. “Here I’ve been sitting five whole minutes. wondering what in the world J should do next.” “And I’ve been wondering for a whole half hour what in the world started you out as a scorcher," retorted Clarkson dryly, "and. if my eyes are not at fault. I think 1 recognize the machine.” “Yes. it’s yours,” meekly; “but please don’t scold. I’ve had an awful time. 1 went across to your bouse and was looking the automobile over when it started. You bad left it out in the road, you know. I suppose 1 turned a lever or screw or pulled out a plug or something. Anyway, it went off like a race horse, and I didn’t know how to stop it I’ve often watched you steer, so 1 managed to keep it in the road. But I thought the journey never would end,” plaintively. “I suppose the monster is run down. I—l hope it isn’t broken.” “Of course It isn’t.” reassured Cone Warmly, “automobiles often act that way. Clarkson and I can fix It all right in a few minutes. But you must feel awfully used up. Miss Tyson. Don’t you think I’d better take you home at once?” “Yes. indeed, if you don’t mind.” gratefully, “and it will be such a relief to find myself in an automobile with some one else responsible for whatever it runs into.” Con? laughed and sprang to the ground, followed by Clarkson. It took but a few moments to assist the girl from her machine and into his own; then Cone stepped in beside her. "You’U be able to fix the machine all right without me, Clarkson,” he called. “Miss Tyson is in a hurry to get home." Then, over his shoulder as th# automobile began to glide away: "If you get back in time for the golf don’t wait for us. Miss Tyson may be too tired for a quick run. We will go round by the Lake Shore road. That will be pleasanter. And. say, you needn’t bother about that afternoon call. 1 don’t think it will be worth while now.” There were a honk and a clatter, and away the automobile sped, leaving » aloud of dust and a smell of burnt •Up wi»-k behind.
