Running R Away From § b By ' 7l § Bob. erum rowier. 1 Copyrighited, 1903, by Associated § Literary Press, b With its expiring chug Janet steered the runabout into a conveunient lang, . puttered over it a bit, then dropped all| useless effort to revitalize it. How ' many miles sne was {rom her destina tion or her home she had no idea. It* mattered little whether it was oue or a thousand, she was anchored to stay as far as'the machine was concemed.\,l She had set out with more lmsto'" than discretion and had left undone things that should have been done in ' preparation for so long a run; ulsq she ' bhad neglected to take along . other things that should have been taken in | case of the emergency which wus sureii to present itself, : g ] i Emergency without recourse is never pleasant. Janet felt it almost tragle.. ! It portended the failure of her under itaking, intended to impress and sub-i ‘due her family and--some others. Was 1 It to end in this silly little fiasco? Never! | ~ She set her teeth with determination and went down the road to recon noiter. Nothing in sight either way. She climbed a large rock pile at the roadside and gazed long and intently I the direction of her destination, as If to materialize in the near (llstmxcc"l the factory village whence she nad meant to speed away on the prosaie l Lut reliable railway. | She finally persuaded bherself that | she perceived spires and chimneys upon the blank horizon and with more | determination returned to the car, | gathered up her suit case, lunch box, raincoat and umbrella and set out to tinish the journer with her small, fash icuably shod feet. 7 Panting under her load, she eventu ally reached the rock pile, rested ber remonstrating, aching little person a half nour and meekly, with great dis gust, plodded back to the runabout as to a city of refuge. . .ot porting it by main strength, like a hod carrier. . She eouid abandon the treacherous ear, but not her plumage. One cannot make a creditable entrance into a ‘strange country withaut guitable adornment, and she felt that her fu ture largely depended upou the im. pression her unknown relatives recefv ed of her at meeting. Therefore she resigned aerself to await the passing of a good Samarl tan. hoping devoutly he would be pos-[ gessed of a large touring car and tow her into port. I This was entirely a matter of chance, thongh, with the probabilities against it, as she had purposely chosen an unfrequented way to avoid the auto party she had deserted. She kicked her hecls and reflected upon her position with anger and self pity. Bob would go, of course, in his big new machine, and equally, of course, he would go for her—he covld not avold fthat—in spite of her em phatic refusal to accompany him. Her refusal counted for little, or his reluctance either, with hoth familles continually flinging them at each other in the most barefaced manner, Her father had come home beaming the night before and informed her that Bob would be on hand, as he had taken pains to explain that she (Janet) was expecting him, as usual, the re fusal being a mere bit of feminine coquetry, and her mother had laugh Ingly added that she had met the young fellow that afternoon looking very despondent and had cheered him up by remarking that Janet never meant half she said and would be dis appointed if he falled to come for her. And, to crown all, Bob’s mother had ruu In and assured her—as if she de manded such assurance—-that Bob would be around early, as she had re minded him that Janet expected him to take her, ag usual, “‘As usual’” Jane quoted vindic tively. “The poor fellow counldn’t get | rid of me if he tried, as I am sure he | has sometimes!” She was not at all | sure of this. “They'd push us to the ! very altar without a word from either of us as to willingness, and if 1 ob jected and Bob hung back they'd ‘ex plain’ and ‘assure’ and force me upon bim. T just had to run away to re lleve him, Though I haven't got far yet—l . will! Some one will come along.” | SBome one did a few moments later— | a farmer, going the wrong way, with a hayrack and a large curiosity con- | cerning the machine, which he grat- | ified by peering and prying until Ja- | net was tempted to bid him “mind pis own business.” He proceeded todo that same, remarking that he wa# “mighty glad to see one o the dad blamed things broke down; they'd skeered his hosses often enough.” He feparted, contorting with merriment at her predicament, and it was not ex actly a blessing Janet sent after him, Came next a barefooted boy, who stared for an unwinking five minutes, lodifferent to ber &m of reward 12 MBI LR e BNy Rewe 'the village, and who alse passed on exclaiming audibly that ~“ne di.at know thewn skootin’, tootin' things got tired.” Then appaared, headed villageward, a young man with a lumber wagon and a praneing team, which lost nerve at the sight of the shining monster and Janet signaling wildly and tore off In a whirl, the driver hurling male dlctions over hfs shoulder at the “smarty city folks for plaring tricks.” MAs {f any one would be idiotic enough to stop here for the poor spuri | of setting off his horses,” Janet mused scornfully, watching the vanishing ‘cloud of dust. “If | was only in that ’wngon with my things! DBut I expect I'd be bumped precty hard.” } A man on horscback from the little tovrn teld her civilly that if she was }there when he went back he'd send 3 some one cut for her, though it might be dark and it would cost her constd erable, 5 ~ “So ‘much, maybe, that U'd not have ; enough left for my fare and just have 10 sneak back home. You wretched - good for nothing failure! She jammed :fmd rattled everything with handles and cried heartily. [ After which she feit better, wiped !‘up. powdered her shiny nose and pre !‘pured to make a melting appeal to the 3 next passer, be who or what he might, ‘Then she let out a sereech of joy, for suddenly the panting chug of a heavy ear smote the distance. ler troubles Were at an end! Never an autoist so mean as to refuse ald to a stranded (brother—or sister. h The approaching rumble bespole the -,‘agarge car of her hgpes, and she hastlly f;aswmed her most attractive manner Fand helpless lock of appeal; then, fear lng that the speed which it was evi ’\ieutly making would carry it post ithcut the occupants perceiving her, E&he sprang up and leancd forward, Awith a cry for help. i Therefore when Bob dashed ulong "Junet appeared to be wailing for him with outstretched hands and eager eyes.

Janet stared; That was unlfte Bob, who was net resentful. She did not under stand, but could not be left so. “I will be preatly obliged 1f you will see what ails this thing and start it on,” she requested formally, He returned at once and examined it thoroughly. “I think it will have to ‘be towed to a shop,” he said finally, “Very well. I was going to Eldon. I ¢an wait untfl gome one passes who will haul me In,” Janet replied. “I am not going to leave you like this!” he exclaimed. “Of course I'll tow you wherever you wish.” “Thank you. I will pay you for your trouble.” He flushed angrily and started off, but turned back, exploding: “Look here, Janet, I know It was a beastly thing to do! I see now I had no husiness providing a substitute, 1 apologlze humbly. Cousin ITal was transported at the progpect of escorting you, and | I suppose you annihilated the poor fel- ‘ low. Pour your vials upon me, but be lieve my apology is sincere.” ‘ 80 he had tried to foist her upon an- | other! Janet was furious. This was the first she had known of it, having stolen away early. “I am not in the least to blame for having burdened you 80 often,” she cried. “I have re #lsted enough uselessly! 1 am deter mined it shall not happen again. You can be perfectly sure of that!” “I have never found you burdensome | in"— he began. | “Oh, you must gay that, of course,” | the jeered. | He regarded her earnestly. “I am en. | tirely sincere when I say that your | company would have bheen my greatest | delight 1f T could have felt.that you be- | stowed 1t upon me freely, without : pressure from others. Pressure was | 80 glaring this time that to rid you of [ mygelf I brol:e all the laws of polite | convention this morning and was tak- ‘ ing myself off for good.” A great light suddenly turned Janet's | world to a paradise of joy. “Running | away from me?’ she inquired, dim- ' pling, much to his surprise. . “Running away from the families” he saild fiercely. “They’'ve spoiled all chanee I might have had with you, | and Pm pulling out of i, but I'm not | glving you up, remember. 1 mean to | try to win you when they learn”— : He was interrupted by shricks of | laughter.
