Doctor Drafts climbs into the automobile. He tries so. hard to retain his composure-1-to. ber perv fectly quiet to admire the solemn majesty of the blue clad mountains, but ic is useless. In his mind he sees a picture of his patient waiting waiting wait ing. Then he sees John Sma thers walking walking walk ing and Hendersonville town three miles away! The breeze gently murmurs, the birdies sweetly sing, the mountains look down on him in impressive grandeur, but his nervousness increases until he is almost - frantic. - He calls the automobile names but it refuses to answer back. He lignts a cigarette,' but it soothes him not. He can see but his patient, wait ing and John Smathers, walk ing. At last the situation be- comes unbearable, and pulling a copy of the Asheville Gazette News- from his pocket he starts to read. He feels strangely soothed and auieted he nods ah, he sleeps! It has never failed him and only the arrival of Mr. Smathers with the new batteries arouses him. The change is quickly , made, and before Mr. Smathers can get in beside him the doctor pulls a lever and the machine leaps for ward. He cannot stop it it in creases its mad speed he pre pares to jump, when his com panion, puffing and blowing from his hard run, - climbs in beside him, and away they go to the relief of the . doctor' waiting patient. But it is whispered that Doc tor Drafts is no longer an auto mobile enthusiast ; and insists that it will be many, many years before they supplant the faithful and reliable horse. official: VEATHER REPORT (By The Hustler's Voluntary and .'
