Hetty passed him hvr pocketbook but there were no cigarettes to he found in it either. “Never mind—I can get along without one,” said the youth, passing ids hand over his face dizzily.
Dodie and she reached over and pressed the button of their own horn. “That girl must bo doing around sixty-five.” "I’d put It closer to seventy five,” answered Knox grimly. "Why you could scarcely see the car, it was going so fast." Jackie, meanwhile was finding that he had a hard time seeing the road ahead but he clung grimly to the wheel, determined not to show Betty that he was drunk. He screwed up Ids eyes and blinked hard in an effort to focus them. “Want me to take It?” inquired his sister quietly. “No!” he gritted, wishing that the road didn't have a tendency to divide into two roads. “I'm fine." As he spoke they were approaching an intersection but he did not notice it until a school bus roared

Suddenly the officer caught sight of a etiild which an ambulance interne was lifting out of the wreckage. “Bobby Sanborn!’’ he gasped, bending over. “Hello, Lieutenant Knox,” whispered the boy as be tried to smile. “Are you badly hurt, Bobby?” “Naw,” answered the tiny fellow gamely as he tried to smile. “It's only my back—outside of that 1 don't feel anything just sort of dumb all over.” Knox looked questloningly from Hobby to the Interne. “Spinal fracture, 1 think," the latter answered the unspoken question. “Okay Bobby.” Knox was trying not to show his feelings. “Don’t be

“Hut I want omo too. There's a hamburger stand nip ahead. I'll get some there.” As she pulled u| sit the side of the road Archie Sloan'sx ar shot by and Jackie greeted It with a loud squawking of the Jiorn. Then, as Archie answered with a series of derisive toots. Winslow's Jaw tightened and he slid over Into the driver’s seat. "Jlcy! What are you doing behind that wheel,” cried Butty when she returned with the cigarettes. “Clbin' to show you how an expert drives." he grinned slyly. Then, us she started to protest. ’Tin okay now. Sis Honest I am.” "All right, you hig chiseller.” She bunded him a cigarette. “1 hope you choke on this." Jackie was far from being “okay” and his driving showed It. Ho took turns too wide, cutting nway over on the left hand side, then swerving to the right, once Just In time to miss another ear coming In the opposite direction. "Better watch It, Jackie!” warned bis sister. “What do you mean watch It?” He was outrag.-d. "That guy thought lie owned the road." Meantime, in Archie's car, Dodie and Knox were fiddling with the radltk There was a succession of squawks und fragments of various programs as they turned the dial here and there. Finally one station ciniiw tin./i gh clearly. "This Is Station KGLX,’’ an announcer was saying.

out of the side road directly in front of them. “Jackie!’’ screamed Betty. “Look ont!’’ The hoy slammed on his brakes. There was a grinding snap hut the car did not slow down. Horrified and cold sober in an instant he twisted desperately at the wheel. Then, seeing It was no use, he threw up his arms to protect his eyes Just before the car struck the crowded bus with a torrillc crash. "Juckfe! Jackie!" screamed Betty. Her brother had slumped over the splintered wheel In a dead faint. At her touch he stirred and passed a hand over his face. “Whas’ matter?" ho demanded thickly. “Wlta ’ happened.” Ho blinked dazedly through the shattered windshield, then gasped in horror. The bus had crushed throngh the side rail of a little bridge and was hanging there, its front wheels In the ditch A deadly silence hung over the scene which was emphasized by the sound of the Inis motor which was still running. A second or two later the agonized scream of a child rang out from Inside the bus. “Quick!” commanded the girl. “Before anybody comes. Change jilaces with me. You're drunk. They'll lynch you if they find you were driving.'’ • • • When Che Sloan car drove up to the scene of the accident a crowd had already assembled In that strange way which crowds do.

"MeCarthay’s over there now getting a statement.” The lieutenant forced his way through the crowd In the direction indicated, then stopped abruptly us ho caught sight of Jackie's car In the ditch across the road. Betty, who apparently had been too dazed to move from the driver’s seat since the crash, was answering McCarthay's questions in a cold, dead voire. "Ail I know about it is just what I said before." she was explaining as Knox came up.
