ow the Race

By CRITTENDEN MARRIOTT
Copyright, 1905. by T. C. McClure
It all began at the America's cui
races in 1003 and ended two years later,
in the fall of 1905. To be exact. it be-
gan at the very moment the winning
boat, swelling white from deck to tow-
ering truck, swept across the line in a
hist of flying spray and a thousand
steam whistles burst into gigantic ap-
plause, announcing to a waiting world
that the cup would stay on this side
for at least another year.
It was at this instant that Miss Vir-
ginia Wentworth, her teeth flashing,
her eyes glistening, her cheeks flaming,
turned to Frank Stanhope and cried,
with quick eutotion: "Isn't it glorious?
Oh, 1 could love a man who could carry
off a prize like that!"
This remark was unwise unless Mirs
Wentworth wished to invite what fol-
lowed, for no one had ever accused
Stanhope of being backward where wo-
men were cond'erned. Besides, he was
very . much in love with Miss Went-
wortjl. So he instantly turned, bent
over the girl so that no one else might
hear and whispered, "Will you love me
if I carry it off, Virginia?" Whereupon
Miss Wentworth, with a suddenly
heightened color, turned quickly aside
and made a remark to a girl compan-
ion.
But the question once asked had to
be answered sooner or later. The time
when it must be came the next after-
noon in the disjointed intervals avail-
able between the departure of one
guest who had dropped in on Miss
Wentworth to get a cup of tea and the
arrival' of'another 'another who came for the
same purpose. •
Stanhope smiled down on her. "You
remember what you said yesterday,
don't you?" he asked. ,
Miss Wentworth blushed • slightly.
"Oh, yes," she said. •"Wasn't it fool-
ish? I was carried away by the mo-
ment and thought that I could love the
man who defended the cup so splen -
y
did! .
„
"The Englishman has said that he
will challenge again," he said slowly.
"I shall build a yacht and defend the
cup."
"But you are not a yachtsman."
"I shall become one if"—
"But you know how seasick you get
when the water is rough."
"I'll get over it if"—
"I won't promise."
"I don't ask you to do so. But I do
ask you to be with me when my yacht
crosses -the line a victor a year or two
from now, ::'' perhaps—perhaps the
moment may carry you away again."
"Oh, you foolish boy!" But it was
with a very tender look in her eyes
that Miss Wentworth watched Stan-
hope as he went from the parlor.
An hour later he was closeted with
Neil Burke, the famous yacht de-
signer. .
"You said once that you would do
anything for my father's son, Mr.
Burke," he was saying. "Now -1'm
going to claim your promise. I've got
to defend the cup next time. To do
so I must .have a yacht that can de-
feat all other would be defenders and
then can defeat the challenger, no mat-
ter how good it may be. Will you help
Me?"
"It's my business to do so," returned
the designer, "and in this case it will
be my pleasure as well"
Stanhope drew a long breath.
"That's good," he said. "Spare no
expense—none. I will spend my whole
fortune if necessary to assure this vic-
tory."
The designer's fate grew serious: He
drew a sheet of paper toward him and
began to figure. At last be threw
down the pencil. "Stanhope," he said,
"if you mean exactly what you say
and if you are rich enough and have
the nerve to risk it I can assure you
of victory as certainly as any human
event still in the future can be as-
sured. But it will coat a great deal."
"Never mind the cost. I have the
nerve, I believe, and I have the money
—that is, I have anything within rea-
son."
"Ah! But perhaps you'll think that
this isn't in reason. Will—and can—
yon risk $7.000,000 on the race with the
certainty of winning unless something
altogether unforeseen should occur?"
"Seven millions! Great Caesar! How
can you possibly spend seven mil-
lions?"
"1 said risk, not spend. And the
risk will be very small. Nearly all of
the money will be restored safe and
sound -less the cost of the yacht, crew
anti so forth, say half a million. But'
the seven millions I must have in coin,
or. •hi•tter still. in bars of solid gold.
Will you risk it1"
P.roll:s of sweat stood on Stanhope's
forehead. "Mr. Burke," he said, "I

PROPOSAL

It was the softest of spring days, and
Mowbray and Miss Farrar strolled
through the greenery of the park with
the languid abstraction born of the
first warm weather and a friendship of
several years' standing. Though their
eyes drank in the beauty of the scene
about them — the great stretches of
greensward, the trees and bushes, that
were bursting into the tender green of
the season as into a sort of silent song
—neither of them was thinking of it.
• Miss Farrar, indeed, was living over
other days inevitably brought back by
the warm breeze and the smell of
growing things — other springtimes
when life meant only the beautiful pos.
sibility of . love. And Mowbray was
thinking of her and wondering if by
any chance it 'would be.*,worth while to
tell her, for in spite of her unquestion-
able attractiveness he. could not help
feeling that he would find it hard to
look into those calm, clear eyes and
talk of love.° Yet he was neither cow-
ardly nor inexperienced Ile simply
` had a natural shrinking from being
regarded with suppressed amusement
by the woman he loved." And in her ap-
parent immunity from such, emotions"
that was .what he feared. She would
in ail probability only laugh her light,
frank laugh and say, "Nonsense, Clark;
don't be silly!"
Ile sent a speculative glance toward
her -as, she :walked beside him looking
off into the distance with the preoccu-
pied air of a woman whose whole mind
was given.to• some engrossing and per-
sistent thought.

moods and on( which Mowbray had
learned to recognize as premonitory, of
an intention to talk things out: to a fin-
ish. .'He wondered what it would be
this time, for he had long since dropped
into his role of mentor. • •
• He waited patiently with 'eyes that
roved carelessly over the mabsions on
the far side of Fifth :avenue, which in
turn sent back a well bred stare, know-
ing -that her feelings would soon reach
the point . of 'overflow: ' At last she
•broke the silence.
"Do I look to. you like a person .se-
lected by/ate to be distinguished among
women—disagreeably. : distinguished, I:.
mean?" she demanded, turning toward
him with a' directness which challenged
a truthful answer: He regarded her in
a manner intended to convey that he
was making anexpert examination.
":Vo," he admitted, "I can't say that
you do—that•is"---'. He stopped rather
vaguely.
"Oh, now don't try to soften the
truth;" she interrupted 'quickly. "I'm
'atter facts, and I am not going to lay
anything you may say up against you:"
"I haven't the least idea what 'it is.
'about,• but I am glad that there is go-
ing t9 he no animosity," Mowbray "ob-
served politely. Then he settled h1131-
self
imself to listen. It was one of his virtues
that he never missed his cue.
Her next words came out rather ab-,
ruptly:'
"I'm . not especially plain, do yeti
think?" .. ,_
Icer tone was deprecating, but she
turned her face toward him in a man-
ner as• impersonal as if she were call-
ing his attention to the landscape.
Then she continued impartially:
"That is, I suppose I would be classed
as `fair to middling.' "
He 'nodded assent with a gleam of
mischief in hie eye. • '
"To tell you the truth" --her tone had
dropped into the personal, confidential
key--"I'Innot at all conceited about
my looks,' but I've' alw ays flattered my-
self that 1 am.rather interesting."
The statement ended witfi a rising fns
Election which made it a question, and
it was evident that she was awaiting
his decision with some anxiety.
"Rather interesting, I think we may,
say," he agreed suavely.
"And I'm sure I'm affectionate and
fairly good tempered and -and"— •
Mowbray encouraged her by a no&
—"and flomestic."
"I shall have to take your word for
that." • •
"Well, I am domestic. I know I am!
So I Want you to explain to me"—her
voice was growing tumultuous—"but

never tell—how it is that I've reached

There was a faint suspicion, of a

The ejaculation was full of enlighten-
ment. Mowbray was beginning at last
to understand things that had. always
puzzled him, slip bis next question
showed.
"Would it be impertinent to ask how
you have received these, declarations?"
"Why, I just listened!' You see, it's.
• embarrassing. It makes one feel so
terribly' conscious."
"What about the man?" Mowbray
asked quietly, "Doesn't it occur to
you that perhaps he might need a little
encouragement—that perhaps he might
be a trifle conscious too?"
It'or a moment there was silence be-
tween them. The point 'of view was
utterly new to Miss Farrar, and she
was obviously impressed by it. '-
"I never thought of that," she ad-
mitted slowly. "I thought that sort
of thing was so in a man's line—his
metier." She laughed a bit ruefully.
A squirrel• darted swiftly across the
grass and, turning its head js#untily to
one side, fixed a bright, inquiring eye
upon them. Then, with a saucy wave
of its tail, it scurriediaway..
"I have it," said Mowbray, "I have
it! Learn from the squirrel!' Light-
ness, 'airiness, • coquettishness! Don't
you see what I mean?"' And he looked
,at her teasingly.
But 'she .was not to be diverted. "I -
