A CONSTANT WONDER

In view of the number OF care.

automobiles using the highways,
it is matter of constant wonder
that. there are not more serious
accidents. . :,
A Miamian who made the
round trip to Phoenix a few days
ago gave these observations on
bis trip: 80 II
Going over the mountain at
night he counted IA automobiles
carrying defective lights.
Returning the following day,
he observed . foreign car con:
tanning three. women ascending
the mountain. east of Superior.
The woman driver huRged the
bank with her car on the wrong
side OF the road around the hair:
pin curves all the why from
Superior 10 the summit. The
Miamish could not pass. in his
fastermcsr; for 7rseveral miles
They negotiated . dozen sharp.
curves ; on the left side of the
road without meeting IN ap.,
preaching car. ~,
Rounding 9. curve in Devils
Canyon, on the right side of the
road, the Miamian's expensive
new car was side-swiped by .
dila pidated cheap car, of 'ancient
vintage. This car tained three
women and asmaH boy. It'wss
an out Of the state car, and the
woman driver, who was on the
wrong side of the road. appeared
to be paralyged with fright. AL.
though the aMiamian put his car
into the ditch and against the
cliff in an effort to avoid . col.
lision,. the driver Of the ap,
preaching car seemed frozen to
the wheel. The Miamian's car
suffered a bent axle. and the loss
of = fender and tire. The an.
cient car, occupied BY the wo.
men, escaped unscathed. ~ g..
Commenting on the incident,
the Miamian said, II don't know
how to account for it, except on
the theory that the Lord looks
out for fools5and drunk people"

your dinner at seven-and every

a shabby young man with a queer
hat and shoes that were never

had his breakfast. He was tall and
broad. shouldered, but he was slen-

black hair and white teeth and
black eyes that sparkled like the
sea in the sun.
Sometimes he would look at me
and make a shy little bow. You
know who it was, Of course. I
didn't know then. I just saw that
he was young and handsome and
very graceful and very shy, and
