harp just yet. I'd rather fool with this toy for a
while down here."

She braced her feet and gripped the sides of the
car, gasping for breath, steadied herself at last and
crouched low among the furs to guard her throat from
the icy daggers of the wind.

Her soul had risen at last to the ecstasy of the
mania for speed that fired the man's spirit and nerved
his hand. It was inconceivable until experienced--this
awful joy! Her spirit sank with childish
disappointment as he slowly lowered the power.

explained. "We turn to the right for the meadows and
the Beach--how was that?"

"Wonderful," she cried, with dancing eyes. "Let
her go again if you want to--I'm game--now."

Jim laughed.
