Millions of Americans are now crowding our highways, pushing and impatient to get the most out of this weekend. The hundreds of highway deaths and thousands of highway injuries can be avoided provided that every single motorist does his bit. That bit means driving safely and sanely all the time. There's positively no excuse for excess speed. By observing all speed limits, you'll get to your destination almost as soon. Whereas if you speed, you may never get there. Just as important is the necessity of paying strict attention to traffic signs and those white lines on the highway. They were put there for your protection. Never pass unless you're absolutely certain it's safe, that the road is clear ahead. Never pull out of line, slow up, stop or turn without first looking in your mirror, then signaling clearly, well ahead. And don't be afraid to give the other fellow the right of way. If you let him go, you won't crash into him at all times. Drive with caution and courtesy. You'll live longer.

It had been a long, hard ride to Fort Larned and as it turned out, a useless one. The prisoner Colonel Matthews had been holding for me died before I could get there. So I spent the night at the fort and then started back for Dodge the next morning. The trip back was more pleasant. A breeze from the Rockies swept across the high plains. And it was cool for the first time in weeks. And now, camped for the night, just a day's ride out of Dodge. I was looking forward to a bath and a shave at Mr. Teeter's. I must have been asleep for some time when a sound awakened me. Somebody was standing just outside the circle. A light cast from the dying fire. All right, hold it. Now, you raise your hands and you walk in here slow. Keep coming right up to the fire. Now just stand it. Is there anybody with you?
