tinfoil into a long strip, while Philip gazed at her with dawning admiration in his eyes.

      “There’s your lead,” she said, simply, as she handed him the strip.

      “Patty, you’re a genius!” he exclaimed; “a perfect genius! How did you ever think of that?”

      “Will it do?”

      “Do? Of course it will do! It’s just the very thing. I’ll wrap it around that separated battery strap, and we’ll be off in two minutes!”

      In really less than two minutes, Van Reypen had wound the strip of tinfoil in its place, had jumped into the car beside Patty, who was already in, and they were flying along at top speed.

      “How did you think of it?” he asked again, as they skimmed along. “It was terribly clever of you!”

      “Why, I knew you wanted lead, and I knew tinfoil was lead. I was stupid not to think of it sooner.”

      “You’re a marvel to think of it at all! It was wonderful!”

      “Oh, not at all; that’s nothing to what I can do when I really try! Have some chocolate?”

      Patty was in gay spirits now, for they were flying homeward through the moonlight, and she was spared the three-mile walk and her beloved car was safe in her own possession.

      “Yes, I will have some chocolate, thank you. We may as well take all the goods the gods provide, while we can. I’m glad to get you home safely, but I can’t honestly say that I haven’t enjoyed this whole escapade. Can you?”

      “No,” said Patty, looking at him with a demure smile, “not honestly, I can’t. But, all the same, I’m glad we could manage to ride home instead of walk.”

      “Yes, so am I; and it’s astonishing how hungry I am! Can you spare a little more of that chocolate?”

      “Yes, indeed;” and Patty broke off a generous bit; “but we’ll give you some supper at ‘The Pebbles.’ I fancy they’ll be rather glad to see us!”

      “Yes,” said Philip, grinning; “and I rather fancy we’ll get a warm reception,—and I’m not sure but we deserve it!”
