Making an
Acquaintance
Method Was Breezy,
But Effective
By F. A. MITCHEL
Miss Atherton bad gone to tie coon
try for the summer. She wu a &»■
voted automoblllst and had intendod
to drive herself to the summer home
of the Athertooe, bat the machine
broke down the day before she wag to
start, and so busy were the mechanics
tliut no one was available to make re
pairs. Miss Atherton therefor* reluc
tantly decided to tako a train, and the
auto went to the shop to wait till some
ono could find time to repair It
From the moment Ml«s Atherton
reached her country homo eh* mUsed
her auto. Sho busied herself la her
flower garden and returned temporari
ly to the bicycle which she had ridden
ay a llttie girl, bat now ot he* de
vices for killing time sufficed.
A week passed and the ant# did not
come. To one used to motoring the
perambulators provided by nature
seem very inefficient Miss Atherton
fretted at having to walk or t» re
main at home on a bright afternoon
when she would like to be spinning
along over smooth roads In her car.
One morning she started for a walk.
The weather was balmy and rather
suggestive of a siesta than trudging
along a country road. Miss Atherton's
motions were languorous. Presently
she passed a spick and span machine
standing beside the road. At the end
of a long walk was a house. Doubt
less the car belonged to some one in
the house. The lady stopped and sur
veyed the machine covetously. It waa
a car for two persons. The nickel plate
of the wheel, the starting and Illuminat
ing devices glistened in the sun.
Miss AXiieriuu who iou^ivu «v VJn».
tbe door and rest herself on the cush
ions. Glancing at the houae, no on*
was In sight No one was coming up
or down tbe road. There was a click
and Mlsa Atherton was In the car.
Another click denoted that aha had
closed the door.
Everything about her waa quiet
Only birds sang.
She touched the electric Btarter.
There was a bur-r-r of wheels. Before
she realized what she waa doing ahe
had completed turning on the power,
and the machine mored. How lovely!
How easy! How comfortable! How
restful after walking! She would run
up the road for a short distance, turn
and bring the car back to the place
where she had found It
Aa she moved off Jack Coolldge,
the owner of the captured machine,
came out of the house and from the
porch saw some one running away
with his machine. Instead of follow
ing on his legs, he ran around to a ga
rage, got out another machine and gave
chase.
Quite likely stealing la often at first
unintentional. The thief admires some
thing, perhaps covets U. He take* it
In his hand. Surprised by some one
who enters without seeing his act be
pockets the object, intending to replace
it when he can do so unnoticed.
Miss Atherton was about to turn
with the auto when she heard the
sputter of a motor engine behind her.
What possessed her to act as she did
was a mystery to her. Hearing the
words "Stop thief!" it occurred to her
that if she obeyed the order she would
be taken to a police station, tried for
larceny and sent to state prison. Her
drst impulse was to put on speed; her
second was to put on more speed, and
the third was to use all the power of
which the machine was capable,
Then followed a mad race. Coolldge
got near enough to see that a woman
was at the wheel, but he could not see
what she was like. But presently,
when she turned a short distance
ahead of him, he got a better view and
was astonished to see one who wore the
apparel of a lady. The mystery deep
ened. Women don't steal auto cars.
Such thefts are usually made by men,
and very rough men at that. He could
not conceive of a lady stealing his car.
She was speeding along at such break
neck speed that he began to fear she
would come to grief. What to do, he
could not decide. He followed on aa he
had begun.
An auto coming rroiu toe opposite
direction met the fleeing girl, and the
driver saw by the expression and the
speed at which she was traveling that
she was under some great excitement.
She flashed by him. and when in a
few moments her pursuer did the same
it was evident that a mad race was on
between a woman and a man. Was it
t real chase or material for a moving
picture show? The observer did not
know, but having an old fashioned ma
chine he decided not to interfere and
passed on, wondering. Other machines
were met, and the drivers of most of
them, seeing two cars coming like th#
wind, drew up beside the road to give
them a safe passage.
Cooiidge was driving a machine not
capable of making the speed of the one
being run away with, but for a time he
gained on It, since he dare use pow
er to a greater extent Th» fugitive
for a time maintained some degree of
caution, but as her pursuer gained oc
her she took riBks without being fully
conscious of their magnitude: Cooiidge,
having her before him, conld see every
turn she made and the risks she took,
fearing that he was goading her kto
take them, slackened speed himself,
hoping she would do the same.
Unfortunately for this purpose, the
lady had 110 eyes in the back of her
heed and could not see whether her
pnrsner was gaining on her or losing
ground. However, her ears told her
thai the machine behind her was mak
ing less noise, and had she not lost her
head completely she would have re
duced her speed accordingly. Since she
showed no sign of doing so, Coolldge
pressed his accelerator and soon drew
up to within hailing distance. He
thought of calling, but, remembering
the result of his first effort, refrained.
Presently he saw the thief turn a
sharp bend In the road. The auto skid
ded, followed a tortuous course for
some distance and brought up against
a deserted shanty. Before U strode
the chauffeur had soccveded In reduc
ing lu speed, and neither she nor the
machine was much injured, though
both were badly jarred. But Miss Atb
erton was more rattled at being over
hauled than by the jarring.
"Take me to Jail!" ahe erlpd. "Take
me to Jail. I'm a thief."
Now, there was everything In Miss
Atherton's appoarance to belle her con
fession. Coolldge saw at once that
what appeared on the surface was not
the truth.
"Are yon hurt?" he awea solicit
ously.
Bis tone was reassuring. Miss Ath
erton looked up and saw a gentleman
regarding her not only kindly, but ad
miringly.
Miss Atherton, thougto she had re
gained her equanimity and satlsied
herself that she was tn no danger of
being dragged to Jail, was still not her
self. Nevertheless, she was still a wo
man. She began to throw the blame
On to Mr. Coolldge.
"What were you trying to run me
down for?" she asked In no friendly
tone.
"I could not see that a lady was
driving my machine, so I naturally
supposed some one was trying to get
away with it"
Miss Atherton looked as if she were
about to burst Into tears.
"You were quite welcome to use my
machine, I assure you," faltered Cooi
tdge, fearing a collapsa
"Then why didn't you say so7"
"How could I say so when I was not
on hand?"
"But you cried out, 'Stop thief P "
"I supposed some one was stealing
my machine. I did not know that a
young lady had merely borrowed it."
Miss Atherton was recovering her
self slowly. She made no rejoinder to
Mr. Coolidge's last remark. He con
cluded to make an effort to get her
either to her home or his, anywhere
but where she was. There were two
vehicles to be taken care of, but now
that she had ceased to be buoyed up
by excitement he did not have to trust
her to drive either of them. Besides,
be did not know whether the one she
had been driving would be available
after the collision. Opening the door
of the car in which he had made the
pursuit, he begged her to enter.
"Where are you going to take me 7"
she asked.
"To your home."
"What will you do with the one I
have Injured?"
"Leave It where It Is for the present."
She walked lamblike to the door he
was holding open and entered the car.
He entered at the wheel side and,
turning Into the rood, drove back
over the course they had been racing.
But the return speed was very differ
ent from the outgoing. Mr. Coolldge
was quite delighted with the adven
ture. He was pleased that his car had
not been stolen and still more pleased
to have a pretty girl beside him who
had given him an opportunity to show
his gallantry by borrowing his car
without leave.
She begged him to permit her to send
a man to take his machine to a shop
and repair it, but he declared that it
had not been damaged. Then began
an explanation as to how she had come
to run away with his car, but It was
not exactly the one already given with
this story. Up to the point where
Coolldge had cried "Stop thief!" it was
a succession of excuses. From that
point onward it was a lamentation that
he had made her think that she was
flying from a long imprisonment. Coo
lldge declared that hanging would be
too good for him, but he did not sug
gest anything else that he could have
done under the circumstances. By the
! time he got her home he had Implored
bee forgiveness, but what for did not
matter. There was a sort of reconcilia
tion between them, and everybody
knows that making up between a
young man and a young woman Is lia
ble to stir the emotions. At any rate,
| when they parted Coolldge had re
ceived permission to call In the even
\ Ing to learn If the shock Miss Ather
ton had received had been fraught
with serious consequences.
(Jooiidge avauea nimseir or tne privi
lege accorded him, and Miss Atberton
had scarcely finished dinner before he
was announced. He seemed very anx
ious lest some sign of physical or men
tal shock had appeared during the In
terval since he had last seen her and
gave vent to an expression of joy when
she assured him that she had suffered
no Injury whatever, except that she
should have placed herself in such an
-embarrassing position. Coolidge as
sured her that he understood perfectly
the innocence of the motive that ac
tuated her in temporarily borrowing
his car and assumed all the blame for
causing her to take to flight These
self accusations and his effort* to ren
der them nugatory took up the evening
until near midnight, when the gentle
man bade the young lady good night
and went home.
A few days later Miss Atberton'a car
arrived, and she did penance for ap
propriating Mr. Coolidge's machine by
inviting him to drive with her.
During the summer the couple took
many auto rides together, with the
usual consequences. The nuptial fes
tivities were celebrated In the autumn.

Hints For the Garden
Vegetable gardens under trees will
not do welL Trees shade the plants
and take the moisture from the soil.
8 wise chard has been called the "city
garden friend." It Is also called the
cut and come again spinach. This
vegetable returns maximum results for
little care and space, yielding from
July until winter. The leaves are used
for greens the same ns beet tops or
spinach.
By tho end of May it is safe to pi nut
such lender vegetables as cucumbers,
squash, melons and beans In the open
ground.
Cabbage seed should be sown naw
for late planting for a crop for winder
use.
Tomato plants will do best for Inex
perienced gardeners if not set «ut un
til the 1st of June.
Twelve to fifteen bushels of potatoes
are required to plant an acre when
the potatoes are cut two eyvs to a
piece.
Relieve strawberry plants that have
been covered. See that the plants are
sufficiently uncovered to get through
the straw or leaves, leaving the cover
ing to act as a mulch and to keep the
plants clean.
Eggplants, peppers and sweet pota
toes should not be set out until the last
day of May or first day of Juno.
