' JhEb ru&mrnma nBnniiiiimMAK - j'. : s:wHSgE r ' (BAT ' IKm THLJ SKY was Just cloudy enoUBh lo thwart the torrid Intention of the sun. Desldcs, there was a pleas ant breeze, a breeze that wnn sugges tlvc rnthcr than active, but It served lo tool the nlr. The young man In the automobile at the foot of the driveway considered It a perfect June1 day. Ho was, a stranger In a city, the guest of the inlddlc-nged gentleman who had Just left him to enter tho very .handsome residence. "Sit sllll," he had said to tho yotinB man, "while I run Into the house and see If Clara Is at home. If she Is we lll go In. If she Isn't we will con tinue our ride." Whereupon the middle-aged men hud hurried Into the house, and for several moments tho young man sat alone. Then the door suddenly opened, and down the broad steps came a young Ionian. She was dressed In street at tire and evidently had been on the point of going out when the middle-aged man rntcred. She tripped down the steps and huiricd along the broad walk until she reached the automobile. Scarcely looking up at tho young man she ptepped In and took the seat beside 1dm. He saw that her face was flushed and that her eyes glittered, and she nervously pulled at one glove. "You may go ahead," she said. The young man did not hesitate. Hut as. he touched the lever he caught a hurried glimpse of his host standing on the porch and smilingly waving him nn adieu. What did it mean'.' He swung into the thoroughfare and struck a steady gait. "You have had experience as a chauf feur?" said girl. Her voice was very pleasant. He stole a quick glance at her. She was charming despite the rod Hush. She took him for a chauffeur. Ho would humor the mistake. "Vrs. miss; for nearly two years." "Are you familiar with our streets?" "Xo, miss. I am from out of town." "You will soon learn, I think." "I trust I am ordlnurlly Intelligent, miss." The girl looked him over critically. "You appear like a person of some education."" she said. "Yes, miss: 1 have had a fairly good schooling. It Isn't of much use to me in this line, but of course It may come In handy some day." "How did you happen to take up this business.'" "I am very fond of" mechanics, miss, , and drifted into it quite gradually. To my mind it's much more advanced than thp coachman's profession." "You have been a coachman?" "I've driven some, miss." Her gloves were on to suit her at last, and the Hush had quite died out of her cheeks. She sat back at her case, and her companion thought her pose admirable. "X am your employer's daughter," she said. "You may call nic Miss (.Mara." "Ves, miss. Any particular direction you wish to go, miss?" "No," replied the young woman. "I am running away." The chauffeur admirably concealed his'.surpriso. "Yes, mirs." i "'1 am not going back until I am quite ready." " "Ortainly not, miss." He paused aiid stole another hasty glance at her. "All I have to consider, miss, is wheth er my my employer will understand the share I am taking In tills this ex cursion, miss?" The young woman actually smiled, a pleasing feat that would have rejoiced the young man greatly had he diverted his 'tttcntion at the moment from tho work before him. "You netfl have no fear," she said. "My father pays the penally of having an only daughter. When she assumes the responsibility for her acts there is nothing more to bo salcl.'.' "f understand, miss." The young woman lpoked at him a little curiously. "You evidently are a person of more than ordinary intelligence," she said. "Of course, I mean for one in your posi tion." "Thank you, miss. You arc very good." "On this account It seems to uio that I owe you Mine explanation." "Certainly not. miss." "I am the best Judge of that," said the young woman, a little coldly. "Yes, miss." "Besides," said the young woman, "I want to hear myself talk." The young man at her side wanted to hear her talk, too, but he was too dis creet to say so, "Before you begin, miss, will von kindly give me my bearings?" "Cio straight ahead." said the young woman. "The road Is good all tho way. When I want you to turn I will tell you." "And tho speed?" "Tho speed Is satisfactory." "Thank you, miss." The young wonuin let her eyes rest for a moment on the back of tho chauf feur's head as he slightly bent forward. ".My father and I have had a dis agreement," she said. "Very sorry, miss, I'm sure," The young woman frowned. "It Is about a young man." "It often' Is, miss." "Tho young man has caught mv father's fancy he Is the son of an olii friend. My father has planned to have mo marry this young man." "Docs the young man know, miss"" "I suppose lie knows. My father nn doubt has sung my prals.es hi his cars Just Hf he has sung his In mine. Ho must know," blood. No doubt he Is a good dancer, mid clever at small tnlk, and dresses well, and Is nice looking, Hut my Ideal Is a man of action, a man who can do something, a man for emergencies. The, chauffeur bent a little farther forward. "I'erlups there Is another young man, inlssV" "No," said the young woman, sharp ly, "there Is no other young man," The chauffeur Increased the speed slightly. "And you have never met this oh noxious person, miss 7" "1 scarcely knew there was such a. person until two months ago. My father met him In Chicago soon after his return and seemed to be delighted with him. And then, you understand there Is a close business connection be tween them." "That's bad. miss." "eYs. My father Is a forceful man, and when he takes nn Idea In his head it can't be dislodged. He thinks ,lt would be a grand alliance to bring our families together." "Like they do In royal circles, miss." She Ignored his remark. "I'm sure he has given this young man my picture, and no doubt has greatly exaggerated my attractions." "I wouldn't accuse hi in of that, miss." "Of what?" "Of exaggeration, miss." The young woman regarded the chauffeur's profile Intently. It did not relax Its rigidity. The young woman smiled. "You said that very well," she frank ly declared. "At the same time It was something of a liberty." "Yes, miss. Hut I must ask you to let me suggest that you are encourag ing familiarity on my part. You make It hard for me to remember my place. I am not used to confidences, miss." The girl laughed. "Don't misunderstand me, chauf feur," she said. "I must talk to some body or something, only I prefer some thing that" can listen. Disabuse your mind of the belief that you are a per son to invite confidences." "Yes, miss. 1 am only to hear and forget." "Very neatly expressed, chauffeur. And now whore was I? Oh, yes. My father is to bring tho young man to our house today. He thinks he has only to introduce us and alt will be arranged at once. My soul rebels at this sort of parental tyranny. And yet I have never really llsobeyed my father. When 1 saw him coming up the walk this afternoon I knew that he had come to toll me the young man would arrive on a certain train. I felt quite desper ate and dodged my father in tho hall and ran out without his seeing me. Then I noticed the automobile and the new chauffeur we had been expecting and jumped aboard. cYs, and here I am." There was a little silence. "May I take the liberty of saying a word, miss?" ."I can tell bolter when I hear what you have to say." "Isn't it possible that you have mis judged the young man, miss? Are you quite sure he hasn't any honor? Don't y'ou believe that if he saw his atten tions were unwelcome he would delist and go away, miss?" "I haven't thought very much about the young man, chauffeur." said the young woman. "I have had enough trouble of my own. Of cour.se, as you Intimate, it is quite possible that ho will find me plain, dull and altogether uninteresting." "That Is impossible, miss. I'ardon me. I have no doubt lie is well aware that you are beautiful, witty and altogether lovable." "Go slow, chauffeur, go slow." - "Yes, miss." And lie quickly slackened speed. "1 didn't mean in that way," said the young woman. "Pardon,-miss." .said the chauffeur. and he resumed Ills speed. "I fancy," said tho young woman, "that It would take some time to dis cover all these interesting particu lars." "I think not, miss," said the chauf feur, his eyes on the straight road ahead. "I have seen you, but once my self, you know." The young woman's face flushed, and she might have made an angry retort, but a sharp ejaculation from tho chauf feur checked her. "There Is a runaway horse ahead, miss," lie cried. "Have I your permis sion to try to stop it?" "t'oitaluly. Ah, there is some one in the carriage!" Her sharp eyes had caught sight of a blur of color on the far-away vehicle as It swayed and bounded along the highway. The qhauffeur increased his speed. As the aittomobllo bounded forward it passed a man running in the same di rection. His hat was off, his face was deathly pale, his breath came In gasps. He pointed ahead and tried to shriek homething to them. The chauffeur nodded and was away. "Poor man," gapped the girl, ns she looked back nt him. Tho speed grew very rapid. They were nearlng the runaway. "It's u child!" cried the young womun, Tho child, a little girl with streaming curls, was clinging desperately to the scat. "Courage, dear; courage!" screamed the young woman. "Hush," said the chauffeur, young woman. "Can't you bco I'm cry ing?" The chauffeur dooked around hastily and saw what he considered a very charming picture and he hud seen many pictures ttiat were considered charming. Tho child was drawn close to the young woman, the fair curls lying drooping across her arm, and her wet eyes with their long lashes were looking lovingly at tho pale little face. "There Is the father," said tho chauf feur, and wnved his hand, And the young woman waved her handkerchief and then held the child up so the man could see It and In a moment more they were beside him. Ho caught the child away from the young womnn and hold It tightly, and for a moment could not speak. "It was splendidly done," ho sold at lust. "I don't know which of you 1 am to thank the most." And he looked from one to the other. "You limy thank Miss Weldon's nerve," said the chauffeur. "He told me what to do," said the young woman simply. "You are Miss Clara Weldon?" said the man. The young woman bowed. "We will always hold your name In grateful remembrnnce," said the man. He looked inquiringly ut the young woman's companion, "I am Miss Weldon's chauffeur," said the latter. They left the man and the child in the roadway he had friends In a house close by and stnrted upon the return trip. "I.iet us go back as quickly as we can," said the young woman. "My fucs must oe a sight, and besides I am anxious to get back to papa. That ex ample of parental agony has1 quite up set my conscience." 'Yes. miss." They rode along In silence. "Chauffeur," said the young woman presently, "you are quite a hero." "Not at all, miss." "It Is Impolite to contradict, chauf feur." "Politeness must give way to truth, miss." The young woman's father was stand ing on the porch as they drew up to the curb. He hurried down to meet them. "Well," he laughingly cried, "I must say I like this sort of thing. What do you mean, you undutlful scapegrace, by riding away In this, fashion with a young man you never saw before?" The girl looked around at iter com panion and then looked away. "Dear daddy," she playfully said, "I wanted to get acquainted in my own way." If the young man felt any surprise at this somewhat astonishing state ment he carefully concealed It. "Oh, that's it," said the father, and looked a little curiously at the young man. "And now that everything's ex plained, let's all adjourn to the house. Dinner will soon bo served." The young man's gaze was fixed on the young woman. She suddenly, smiled. "Will you accept our hospitality?" she asked, with a little courtesy and an outstretched hand. Tho young man bowed above her linger tips. "Yes, mits," he said, Cleveland Plain Dealer.
