Inquiry from a farmhouse sbowed me that by going across the valley WITNONE retracing my steps. This was accomâ€" plished at the expense of precious time and a" threat of the oncoming storm. I had proceeded a ahort dhuna‘ ounly on the road when over a low section my car came to a final stop and refused to go either ahead or back, and I found myéelf anchored to the soil. I had seen a farmhouse a short distance off this highway some halfâ€"mile back and started to tramp the distance, but mldw‘ay‘_‘l was met ‘by the storm, but quickly found shelter underneath a road reâ€" pair toolhouse on wheels that had ‘been left by the roadside and under which I was able to Trawl. The rain letting up for a fow moments I saw that a drenching shower was almost on hand and this insecure shelter would be a pool of water, so I hastâ€" ‘oned back to the car and apent a dreadful twenty minutes while the thunder roared and the lightning ‘ crashed all about me, and I had the horrible uneasy feeling that out on ‘that open plain 1 ‘was the tallest ‘thing in sight and the one that !lighmlng would ‘be most likely to |stflka. However, the storm passed Iamd once again I started for the ‘haven of refuge, the "farmhouse," |and found an obliging farmer who promptly hitched up a team and pulled me back to a point where I could turn about and head for his home. As he told me, and as my ‘knowledge of gumbo also told me, it would be impossible to proceed to ‘Regina until the effects of the storm ‘had dried away. Great masses of ‘gumbo rolled up on the wheels of lmy car, and going‘ down a slight kgrade .before approaching the farmâ€" yard I"was again helpless to move land required the team to pull me ‘again through the yard. A glimpse into the kitchen of that farmhouse showed a baking of bread that suggested a cookâ€"housewife â€"of exporience, and a gurther finding that the schoolâ€"marm of the district was a boarder told me thatl had struck luck. I was made very welcome, and I think some one must have slept on a couch or on the floor, but I had a comfortable bed. The next morning when I telephoned into Regina to see about resuming my journey I was told that it was absolutely imâ€" possible to get a car out for a couple of days. There was a railway station a couple of miles away, and an afterâ€" noon train for Regina, so the farmer obligingly hooked up his team and drove me to the station, and two days later a friend motored me out to get my car and resume my jourâ€" ney. In the meantime a farm lad had gotten busy and there were four mounds of gumbo surrounding my car that he had dug off the wheels and from off the fender and released it from the gummy grip, so it was ‘ready for service. ' When I settled my bill with my hospitable host he was very loath to take anything, but finally named a {figure so small that again I felt the ‘friendly touch of a kindly soul and added another bright spot to my world of experience. One year later, Iwhen I passed that way and made a ‘frigndly call, I found he and his wife had greatly «enjoyed Percy Gomery‘s "Motor Scamper Across Canada," which book I had sent them ”m grateful recognition of their kindâ€" ness. I was travelling from Buffalo to Rochester some time after and just as dark was approaching, when quite near an ofl station, my engine sudâ€" denly stopped and my lights all went out.

He told me if [ went down the street to the next hotel I could get accomodation. In signing the register at this latter hotel, I doubted its existence, but, I isked if they could give me a room and bath, and the answer of this re presentative of hospitality to the travelling pubilc was: "There is a hbathroom on the next floor, but noâ€" ‘he visitor going to know, without sampling which of _w_hlchf & here." The clean people who travel by motor appreciate the clean bed that hey sleep in, and I think the time is ripe for the Governments of the various Provinces, in the interests 3f increasing tourist business, to arâ€" :ange for a system of inspection and registration of farmhouses where tourists are invited to stop.
