TWAS riding out through the country
one afternoon last week having
beautiful time chatting with my COM
panion and enjoying the air and the
scenery. We took q turn of on one
Of the narrow back roads and were
going happily along when suddenly there
appeared before us the backs of long
line of cars. Whats this, funeral?'
said we. But no, it did not seem to be.
We stopped and then tried to go ahead,
but found second row standing there
and the road too narrow to 20 further
around yet, so we joined the long pro-
cession.
After waiting some minutes, we de-
cided to lock our car and walk on ahead
to see what was wrong. Right across
the road some hundred yards ahead was
touring car Of a well-known make
and In 1t, scarlet in the face but out
ward!y calm, sat a girl whom you know
anu know. Her car had stopped right
there In the middle of the road and all
tratfic was held up, because the i'm
perlous young lady refused aid, pre-
lerring to hold up that long line Of cars
ana fight 1t out herself.
When we hove in sight she unbent
ana agreed to let us help. So calling to
ald several chauffeurs, who had been
sscorned sned before our arrival, the car was
nhally hauled to one side and the long
sueam OF twenty -sevcn cars went tear
ing py at such speed I wonder we did
nut near OF accidents all along the road.
