It would be labor of a half a day to chop any kind cat passage throueh the HI ungla. Then suddenly he realized that here was a significant scene In that freat drama which he had set himself to watch. Highway 88, that faaious road! Here it was, blocked by the chance falling of a tree! A man might cut his way through this obstruction, but there were, or would soon be, others. Ia the thunderstorms, mud would wash across the road and earth slide from the cuts; a bridge would go ia the summer freshet; in a few years, to tske a car from Chicago to Lm Angeles on Highway would be a task for a pioneer in a covered wagon. So be went eastward through Oklahoma, the country empty everywhere. On the rolling hills the looked just at scrubby it must have looked before. On the level cultivated stretches, corn and cotton were growing. The corn stood high, head above the weeds; it would bear a fairly good crop. But the cotton was rapidly being choked out An hour on the road next morn Kg, at the edge of a small town, he started, as his eyes fell upon the unaccustomed sight of a well weeded and tended garden. He went to investigate, and Utop th for the first time what might, by generous interpretation, be called a social group. They were Hegroes a man, a middle-age- d woman, a young boy. They were timid. The boy kept kt the background, curious but frightened.

Ish could hardly understand the thick dialect, rendered more un intelligible by embarrassment He made out however that they knew of no one else in the neigh borhood, not having been beyond walking distance from the spot since the disaster. They were not a family group, but merely chance association of survivors three, against the law of chance. having survived in one small town. They had chickens in a pen, and torn pigs, ish asked for some fresh eggs, and for a dozen gave them one of his dollar bills. They seemed to be delighted with the exchange. After a quarter of an hour, having exhausted all the possibilities of the situation, Ish got into his car, much to the relief of the reluctant boats. As he drove on, he began to think that the Negroes had really solved the situation better than he. He was living as a scsvenger upon what was left of civilization; they, at least were still living cre atively, close to the land and in a stable situation, still ' raising most of what they needed.

Feeling like a bad boy, who is doing something forbidden and will be punished for it he went against all the traffic signs, took THE and headed across toward Tennessee on the road whka should lead to Arkansas. But he met no one, and before Ions he e me to the TennatAee side, and drove out (still te the wrong direction) through the bridge approach. Memphis was as empty as other cities had been. Later, he let Princess out for a run, and the suddenly vanished into the rain with a long yapping which ended m a bay as she struck on the trail of some animal. He was diiguited, since he knew that he might have to wait up an hour for her pleasure to return. She was back sooner, however, smelling woefully of a skunk. He shut her in the garage, and site complained bitterly with her yapping, at the disgraceful way she was being treated. DONE EASY WAY I rM? m WAtliivnTfW n?Pl San. Rus sell B.
