road train. It happened to be a fast
freight and as it went whizzing by in a
long line of uproar the cold sweat broke
out on the forehead of the visitor.

escape,"
"How so?"
t'What if that blamed thing had come
at us sideways,"
When the prohibition vote comes "side
ways" it will wipe everything off the map."
