the driver to catch the answering sign,

At last Craig gave him up as hope

indicated, picking the most likely road.
AS the chauffeur was about to start
he stalled his engine.

at the delays.
The driver got out and tried to crank
the engine. Again and again he turned
it over, but somehow it refused to
start. Then he lifted the hood and be-

impatiently jumping out and bending
over the engine, too.
