Sometimes the goblins' pointed caps

Then when his feet slipped from the

But the luck that is supposed to lingcr

How they ever kept the road | do not
know. OF course | could not turn my
head TO look, but l could see in my
mirror, so close were they, how their
lights swcrved from one side of the
road to the other.
One boon their drunkenness gave me-
Despite their cut-out, their swerving
reduced their speed, almost negligibly,
IT is true, but still enough to enable me
to forge ever so slightly ahead. And
with BRAN sharpened by necessity, l
knew what ] must do.
Just before getting into Bridgehamp-
ton there l. turn IN the road, and a
few feet beyond il a cross road, each
winding in the fashion of the old Indian
trails from which most OF the roads in

tree shadows, ! knew that / could not

but ! put on an extra squirt until

dIved down the darkest of the cross
roads, turned off lights and switch-key
simultaneously, and guided the car into
the shadow of the bushes at the side Of
! the road on Its own momentum.
Then, hardly daring to breathe, heard
the other ear roar by, heard also loud
lmprecations as they realized that they
could no longer see my light in front Of
them.

and j was unable to determine whether
or not the car was the same az the one
which had pursued me, but my magma
ton and my fears Immediately identified
IT as the same car. And as the noise

There was but one thing left for
