'Winning His Spurs By Motorcycle. By WILL 8. PART II, Dwyer swung around with a hoarse sob. "Somewhere between Welton and Fremont Siding was the Limited, tearing along at forty miles an hour. Upon' the Same track, rushing to meet it, were the three runaway cars. And one of the passengers on the, flyer was Ann; Be Brooks, the girl who was soon to 'become his wife! "Come, come," consoled Jerry, lay-! ~ing his hand upon Dwyer's broad; shoulders. "Don't take it' so hard-- you did all you could to stop the train. They can not blame you." "lI know," gasped Dwyer, "but-- you don't understand. Annie--the girl I'm to marry---she's on the train.' "Annie on the Limited!" cried; Jerry, his voice filled with sympathy. "Yes; I got a telegram this morn-! ing." Jerry, I must do something!" Dwyer strode forward and grasped his friend's arm in a grip like that of a vise. "Is there plenty of gasoline' in your machine?" he demanded, his' eyes blazing with sudden determina- tion, "Of course. But what--" "There is a siding seven miles from here," Dwyer said quietly. "I am going to save the Limited--and An-|; nie. You tend the wires." And he dashed from the office toward the! spot. where Jerry had left his ma-| chine, A moment later came the sharp explosion of a motorcycle get- ting under motion. From Fremont Siding to Welton was nearly all down grade, and the! highway followed closely the wind-! ings, of the tracks.. Dwyer gave the motorcycle its full power, inwardly | blessing the day he had induced Jerry to teach him to ride. Louder and louder roared the motor; faster and faster sped the machine. Trees flashed by.~ The landscape became a 2 wavering blur. Now and then the speed of the ma- chine became so great that Dwyer was forced to shut off the power and apply the brakes to make the turns safely, Each time he opened up the throttle again with a jerk as soon as the curve had been safely passed. The digtanc ed steadily a the runaway cars were ahead. Five miles--four--and now, three. Would he be too late? He pictured in his mind the flying Limited crowded with passengers; among them the girl he loyed. He saw the swaying runaways, clatter- ing at terrific speed down the grade. He pictured the crash as they came together; the huge Mogul plunging | from the rails, the shattered coaches --was this to be the ending of his struggle? No; he must reach the switch in time--he simply must! He opened the throttle another | notch in a last effort to overtake the: flying cars. Almost as he did so he caught sight of them, careening wild- ly as they dashed along--stiill ahead of him, but, thank heaven! the. run- away cars were slackening speed--the grade was gradually lessening. At last he was even with the speeding ! And now he was forging ahead --and the siding 'only a half mile away! er recalled with a throb of i 'the road curved close to the tracks near the siding.

As he rose unsteadily to his feet a dignified, gray-haired gentleman pushed his way through the crowd and grasped his hand. "Young man," he began briskly. 1 am proud to meet you, You have ! rendered a great service to the nub- lic and to the road of which I am the president, and if you will give me your name and address I will see that | you are properly rewarded. "Never mind the reward, Mr. Brad- ley," said Dwyer proudly. "We both happen to serve the same line---you | as president and I as station master at Fremont Siding. My name is | Philip Dwyer, and"--turning to An- nie--* this is the young lady I am to marry Thursday. I've saved her i life----and that is all the Toward. I | ask)" "Whew!" whistled the yallrond | president. "So that is what brought , you! down here in such haste, is it-- for the sake of the girl you love, and not from a sense of duty to the com- pany?" "Well," Dwyer answered blushing- ly, "I guess it was partly both. But I reckon it was thinking of Annie be- ing on the train that kept me nerved up and working my best to get here on time." "I don't blame you, my boy!" ex- claimed the president, again shaking Dwyer's hand. "She's a girl worth working for. I hope you will always , be loyal to her as you have been to your employers... And when you re- turn from your honeymoon vacation | --for you are to take a month at the company's. expense--you may report for duty at my office.

Mint sauce is fine served with lamb: Take one cupful of chopped green mint leaves, a half cupful of vinegar, a quarter ¢upful of powder- ed sugar and mix them one hour be- fore serving. Make twisted map cookies with some of your maple sugar. They re- quire one cupful each of granulated sugar, maple sugar and. butter, or butter substitute, two well beaten eggs, two tablespoonfuls of water and flour enough to miake a dough to roll out. Cut in strips, twist and lay on pans, sprinkle with granulated sugar and bake until light brown. Salad dressing:--To a pint of boil- ing vinegar add three tablespoonfuls of flour, one teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of ground mustard and one-half teaspoonful of black pepper rubbed to a paste with three table- spoonfuls of butter and cook to the consistency of mush; now add one well beaten egg and one-half cupful of good cream, and cook for two - gs put through a vege- table ricer, or bi in slices.

There is nothing like sun to make a room homey as well as healthful. Sometimes just slight changes in the furnishings will make people want to come again.

CLIFF TORONTO with curious objects and knickknacks give a room a cluttered look that is apt to make a guest feel crowded. If you are going to buy'anything new to cheer up the house let it be either some plants that will bloom in the window, or some soft, dainty cur- tains wh which can be laundered easily and hs will let in plenty of light. Many a mountain cabin, vacation lodge, and even a shack of the West- ern ranch has an optimistic home at- mosphere just because it has light, nishings. With these things in mind, why not step outdoors and walk in again, pretending you cre a total stranger? Perhaps just a slight change will make you and your friends happier.
