By Martha Banning Thomas
•iti lw hes came to a atop with
a Jult which hurled its tired passengers
against the seats aliesd. The powertu!
multiuse w3lned to silence. For a lung
eipsat aotntng was said. 'Rreuiy
petcle stared at the back of the
driver. Twenty pairs of ears heard
the wild rush of wind outside: a noire
whh•h up to this time had been
drowned by the motor speeding through
the night.
The driver was young. Ile had wide
shoulders and a fresh color In his
cheeks. He was used to these long,
cross eountry runs: he knew Clow to
bundle people and he understod the
temperament of a bus as a mother MI
deriitands her elilld.
He turned about In his seat to face
the silent people. "Sorry, folk.. we're 1
out of luck." A faint shadow waned
to rest on his twee "Were hung up
....a hundred miles from nowhere." i
'k rustle of amusement poised
through the Ihdenlug passengers. A
man climbed over a seat mate .and
betau talking in a loud, irritated voce.

we must stay here the Lord -knows -

folks home waiting for us'! A fine,

The young man was unperturbed
and ready. "No Use telling you 1 can't
help it. They gave no. a bum bus, an

They gambled 'on my getting through

pleasantly.

face was pale with weariness, but
she smiled. "What say, teller., we

wards the driver. "He's done all the
work and had the worry and now all

The bus driver showed a fine set of
white teeth. "Some grand little sport,"
he whispered to himself. Then aloud,
"I Rot to warn you folks of something
