He spoke in a soft southern v</ice that was somehow reassuring. "Mist Jupit*r sent me to fetch you," he said. "He's waiting out at the Hilltop Inn and he cert'ny is mighty tnxiouj; to see you." Mary laughe.i. "Did ho g've you any idea what he wanted to see me 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 ncco-ssary. Something must have hap- pened â€" "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 convcr.'^ation with you, ma'am. And if you don't mind hurry- ing â€" ho was in a powerful hurry, ma'am- â€" if you don't mind." Mary bade him wait, and hurried back to the dininj; room to tell Bowen. "I'm going with you," Bowen an- nounced. They argued over it, Mary holding that they must not be seen together â€" on the general theory that to The Fly a new.spaperman's presence in the group would be like a signi>ost point- ing to trouble. "You can't go off with a nan you never saw before," Bowen told her. - Mary considered, ".'\nyway, wh:it good would you be against two of them? My onMiutn army! No, you stay here. I'll call you and let you know everything'-^ all right." Bowen gave her a telephi r.e number and winked. "That's my club. Ask 'em to call me to the phone. It's a drugstore. I'd rather fill up on KO<las than weak tea while I'm waiting. So don't forget!" "I won't. And rememboi-, if you dcn't hear from me â€" the Hilltop Inn. Bring the U.S. Marine? and hurry to the rescue." Unconsciously she had begun to adopt Bowen's kidding i,ttitude â€" somehow it made things easier. For she had made up her mind th t if the man who had sent for her did in fact turn out to be De I»ma she would not i-un, but bluff it through. She got into the front seat of a dusty, nondescript little car beside the tall young man, and thought of no- thing but keeping her seat and hold ing to her floppy sunhat while they tore at breaknitk speed out the coast roa<l and along the shore. The Hilltop Inn was not imposing ... in fact, it was nothing more than a glorif.ed <iuickluneh stard, sur- rounded on all .lides by :i broad screone<l verandah on which were bare wowl'.n tables and chairs. At one of those, before she dimbetl out of the car, Mary caught sight of the slightly wilted figure of Mr. Jupiter, impa- tiently mopping his brow. Even as he greeted her, Mr. Jupiter c;'.ll«l out, "Don't go 'way there, sonl I got another errand for you in a little while." The young man noddetl, got out, and went over to the .soda stand. "It's all-firetl hot to bring you all the way out here, Mary," the old man aiK>logized, "but 1 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 lattdy. "Now, here's the first thing:: you k;.ow anything about that De Ix>ma chap that we met last night?" "Plenty," Mary said grimly. "Why?" "You dion't have to tell me he's a bad one," the obi man growled. "'I ain't lived to be nearly 70 without knowing « rotten egg when 1 smell 010. You know what I think? It wouldn't .surprise me none If De Ix>ma was the guy we're looking for!" "He is The Fly," ah* Baid. "We're a« Rure of it as we can possibly be. I've been wanting to tell you â€" -and afraid to. It's awrful when you think about it â€" that there he sits â€" he hM the audacity to eat and drink- and breathe â€" oh!" Jupiter ele&red his throat. "Now, here's another thing," he said, lett- ing his elbows on tha table and laying the index Anger of his right hand to the palm of hii left. He was making a hard and very successful elTort to be practloal and not give way to emo- tion at thl« time. "You know," he beiran, 'or -rather, fou don't know, becttuM they doat anybody know but just me and on:- or two others, that there's a Ixirimor car U'longs to me. Mary's eyes widened at this revela- tion. It was the very thing she want- ed most to know about, but she had choked on the question whenever op- portunity arose to a.sk it. "I had Tom buy it for me. I kept iv 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 om> of their cai-s to get any place. "But the fact is," he hesitate<l, and Mary fairly twitched with impatience, "the fact is â€" now, you keep this to your.self, Mary â€" but the Lorimor car is a darn good car and it's been cut- ting into our sales to the point where it's not funny any more. Now I know- all about the I>orimor car. They hr.ven't jfot 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't prefer it to the Jupi- ter. Now, why? "I says to myself: I'm going to find out. So I gave Tom $5,000 cash to buy a brand-new Jx)rimo.. You've heard me say Tom's the test mechanic alive, and he is..,^ That's why I keep him. He ain't so trustworthy in all v.r.ys â€" I've found that out. But I'd rather have him on my cars than soMe honest lunkhead. And if he wasn't lacking somewhcres he'd be down at the plant, getting .f20,0OO a year, in- .stead of wearing my .livery and sleep- ing ovci a garage." Breathless as .she was with eager- ness to get to the point of tl.e story, Mary could not help recognizing that the faults of Tom were a real heart- ache to the old man. "Well, I says to Tom," Jupiter went on, "this here's to be your i-ar to fool with. Take it whenever you've got the time, and do trick.s with it. Give it every test you can think of, just as if you wa.«i buying a car for yours^df. I want to know ju.st what you thinli of that car when you're do;ie with it. Take it ai)art, 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 Juj)i!.or cur. And when you've got an iilea alwut the two makes of cars come and tell me where the difference is. •'Well, Tom was just like a kid with a clock to take apart. Onlyâ€" here's what I didn't know till just nowâ€" to- day, in fact â€" what Tom went and did was buy a .secondhand car and pocket the difference. Instead of paying the full price for a new lx)rimor, Tom be- gan watching for bargains. He found what he wanted â€" a car that looked brand new â€" turned back to the dealer after it hadn't been driven more than a couple thousand mile.s â€" 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 painteti over. Nobody would notice â€" and it gave Tom a $1,000 cut in price. He says not, but I know â€" I know the price of cars. Wellâ€" "Anyhow, 1 sent for Tom to drive down here. Well, he got here last night and this morning when he brought the car around to take us out, what was it but this I>orimor! I gave him the devil for it. But it seems he never thought. When I said, 'Drive down,' he thought what a chance it would be to try out his new plaything or a long drive, and the change 'n climate, and all, so off he runs in it. "Well, I rode out in it !i\\\ morn- ing. Nobody likely to see n.e down here, nolxxiy that know.s me, that is. Sitting back there with nobody to talk tc but this Loui.se I got to Iwking around at the fnish and poking the upholstery and so on, and â€" look wh.'it I found!" Ho held out a folded sheet of pa- per, his hand trembli.ig unti. it was hard for her to seize it. Mary unfolded it, read in Eddie's familiar handwriting: "I. 0. U. $l.=j,000. Edward Harkness, Junior." "How did this get in the car, I won- der?" she asked, level lyâ€" holding the sheet of paper which was like a mes- sage from Eddie himself. "Well^it was a second-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 buck seat till this morning,'' Jupiter went on. "Tom's no hand for joyrid- ing, I'll say that for him." 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 had returned. Not until she entered the lobby did it enter Mary's head that she had not telehoned to Bowen. Hastily she called the num- ber he had given her, but he was not there. No one knew whether he ha-J been there or how long a^ he had goi.e. No .sooner had she gaineit her room, however, when the telephone began to trill madly. "Listen," he saii:. "Vra at Hilltop Inn. Nobody here by me, now. But they've been here, Bruce i and 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.i she comes in. And she'll come inâ€" alone!" (To be continued.)

Dietrich Favors Mannish Mode Motor Hints 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. The motorist who does his own repair work should exercise suffici- ent foresight to lay In a supply of spare plus to replace any that may be broken in removal. It Is safer to Install new pins in any case. Valves Will Stick Engine valves are not the only ones about the car that are su'ojeci to sticking.

Delay May Be Costly Motor car doors are ot heavy con- struction these days and the checks which limit their outward swing per- form a distinctly useful service. 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 expeuio was many limes more than replacement of the check would have been. Professor Forecast? New Muaic Culture Secretary of Stockholrr Academy oi IVIusic Optimistic for Future The confusion causeu by the pt^.^ ent crisis, which has hit tha intor na.ional centres of musi,; vjry hard may prepare the soil for a new musi cal culture, although we cannot a. present see clearly the future de velopment. This Is the opinion es pressed by Professor Olallo Morales the secre.ary ot the ixuvai Academy of Music. Stockholm, In one of his usual Interesting iioeeches at the an- nual meeting of the .Academy. He deplored the unemployment amongst the musicians abroad and the general lowering of the musical standard caused by tne world Je- pression which, however, fortunate- ly has not so far seriously affected the musical life cf Sweden. The Professor stated he had observed a tendency in modern music towards greater simplicity and harmony and towards the cla.?sical and preclassical forms. The young coiirpt-^'trs seem to regard the former musical revolu- tionists with respectful awe. T,he young ones, he si.'.mI now have tha task of building up new mxisical works of art linking the spirit of the present age with the golden ages ot the music of the past. It is, how- ever, only a few grei.! spirits t« whom it is vouchsafed to lift the curtain of the future and lo conquer new words foe the growth of hu-naii culture. To counteract the unoniployaisji amongst the musicians Professoi Morales offered an intere'tin.!; sug gpstion. Ho urged the organizalior of ambulating orchestras as a kint of unemployment relief work. Thesf orchestras should be sent to pla.' It communities in such parts ot th* country where there is a lack o; good orchestral music.
