Jupiter cleared his throat. “Now," here‘s another thing," he said, leanâ€" ing his elbows on the table and laying the index finger of his right hand in the palm of his left.

"It‘s allâ€"fired hot to bring you all the way out here, Mary," the old man apblogized, "but I got some things on my mind that I‘ve just naturally got to talk over with you,. Don‘t seem as if we get much chance lately. Unconsciously she had begun to adopt â€" Bowen‘s kidding ittitudeâ€" somehow it made things easier. For she had made up her mind thâ€"t if the man who had sent for her did in fact turn out to be De Loma she would not run, but bluff it through. f The Hilltop Inn was not imposing . . . in fact, it was nothing more than a glorifed quicklunch starg, surâ€" rounded on all sides by a broad screened verandah on which were bare wooden tables and chairs, At one of these, before she climbed out of the car, Mary caught sight of the slightly wilted figure of Mr. Jupiter, impaâ€" tiently mopping his brow. "I won‘t. And remember, if you don‘" hear from meâ€"the Hilltop Inn. Bring the U.S. Marines and hurry to the reseue." Even as he greeted her, Mr. Jupiter called out, "Don‘t go ‘way there, son! I got another errand for you in a little while." The young man noddec, got out, and went over to the soda stand. l Bowen gave her a telephcre number and winked. "That‘s my club. Ask ‘em t> call me to the phone. It‘s a drugstore. 1‘d rather fill up on sodas than weak tea while I‘m waiting. So don‘t forget!" Mary considered. "Anyway, what good would you be against two of them? My on>man army! No, you stay bere. I‘ll call you and let you know everything‘s all righ:." They argued over it, Mary holding that they must not be seen togetherâ€" on the general theory that to The Fly a newspaperman‘s presence in the group would be like a signpost pointâ€" ing to trouble. "He‘s all by hisself," the stranger said. "Seems like he left his party and went off like that so‘s he could have a private conversation with you, ma‘am. â€" And if you don‘t mind hurryâ€" ingâ€"he was in a powerful hurry, ma‘amâ€"if you don‘t mind." Mary bade him wait, and hurried back to the dining room to tell Bowen. "I‘m going with you," Bowen anâ€" rounced. "You can‘t go off with a nan you never saw before," Bowen told her. about ?" On second thought, it did seem r.ther odd that Mr. Jupiter should set out from the hotel without having made any effort to see her, and then suddenly decide that an interview was necessary.

Onlyâ€"here‘s what I didn‘t know till just nowâ€"toâ€" day, in factâ€"what Tom went and did was buy a secondhand car and pocket the difference. Instead of paying the full price for a new Lorimor, Tom beâ€" gan watching for bargains. He found what he wantedâ€"a car that looked brand newâ€"turned back to the dealer after it hadn‘t been driven more than a couple thousard milesâ€"and not a scratch. Yes, there was a dent in the left front fender, but Tom took it down to the factory and got it ironed out and painted over. Nobody wouid ncticeâ€"and it gave Tom a $1,000 cut in price. He says not, but I knowâ€" I know the price of cars. Wellâ€" "Well, I says to Tom," Jupiter went on, "this here‘s to be your «ar to fool with. Take it whenever you‘ve got the time, and do tricks with it. Give it every test you can think of, just as if you was brying a car for yourself. I want to know just what you think of that car when you‘re doue with it. Take it apart, if you want to, though I know what‘s inside, and so do you. Eat with it, sleep with it, get to know that Lorimor car as well as you know the Jupiter car. And when you‘ve got an idea about the two makes of cars come and tell me where the difference is. "But the fact is," he hesitated, and Mary fairly twitched with impatience, "the fact isâ€"now, you ‘keep this to yourself, Maryâ€"but the Lorimor car is a darn good car and it‘s been cutâ€" ting into our sales to the point where it‘s not funny any more. Now I know all about the Lorimor, car. _ They Icven‘t got so much of a washer on it that we haven‘t got, or can‘t put, on a Jupiter. But I‘m damned if a lot of people don:} prefer it to the Jupiâ€" ter. Now, why? "I says to myself: I‘m go‘ng to find out. So I gave Tom $5,000 cash to bey a brandâ€"new Lorimo.. You‘ve keard me say Tom‘s the best mechanic alive, and he is. That‘s why I keep him. He ain‘t so trustworthy in all wiysâ€"I‘ve fourd that out. But I‘d rather have him on my cars than some honest lunkhead. And if he wasn‘t lacking somewheres he‘d be down at the plant, getting $20,000 a year, inâ€" stead of wearing my livery and sleepâ€" ing over a garage." Breathless as she was with eagerâ€" ness to get to the point of the story, Mary could not help recognizing that the faults of Tom were a real heartâ€" ache to the old man. "I had Tom buy it for me. I kept i: secret. Bound to be talk if I bought any car not put out by the Jupiter Motor Company, and I thought it was just as well not to let the Lorimor people be able to say I had to buy one of their cars to get any place. anybody know but just me and one or two others, that there‘s a Lorimor car belongs to me. Mary‘s eyes widened at this revelaâ€" tion.

But they‘ve been here, Bruce znd the Countess. And what a fight. I hid behind a catsup bottle and got an earful. Listen, did Mrs. Jupiter have a diamond bracelet?" "Yes," Mary said, "she did." "Would you know it?" "I think so." "Well, look on the Countess‘ arm whe.; she comes in. And she‘ll come inâ€"alone! When they got back to town, driven by the obliging young man in whose pocket now reposed the first $50 bill he had ever seen, none of the motoring party kad returned. Not until she entered the lobby did it enter Mary‘s head that she had not telehoned to Bowen. Hastily she called the numâ€" ber he had given her, but he was not there. No one knew whether he had been there or how long ago he had goe. "Wellâ€"it was aâ€"secondâ€"hand car. Looks like it might be the car that The Fly used coming and going, and maybe later on the one that ran your brother ‘down," Jupiter offered. "Tom swears there‘s been nobody in this back seat till this morning," Jupiter went on. "Tom‘s no hand for joyridâ€" ing, I‘ll say that for hjim." "I, 0. U. $15,000. Edward Harkness, Junior." "How did this get in the car, I wonâ€" der?" she asked, levellyâ€"holding the sheet of paper which was like a mesâ€" sage from Eddie himself. "Anyhow, I sent for Tom to drive down here.

But it seems he _ Mary unfolded it, read in Eddie‘s familiar handwriting: never thought.

A motorist who failed to replace a broken check discovered this fact re cently. He opened the door hastily and allowed it to swing free with the result that the hinge was badly sprung. The repair expense Was many times more than replacement of the check would have been, Engine valves are not the only ones about the car that are subject to sticking. The carburetor choke valve also may hold fast an undesirâ€" able point.

The universal joints, he conâ€" cluded, must be seriously worn,. A stop at a service station revealed that the rear shock absorbers were emâ€" pty, permitting excessively free spring ac.ion on the rough road.

There may be parts of the car which look more important than the cotter pins which lock the wheels and .various parts of the steering mechanism, but none actually is mor® so.
