It was just getting dark. There was a touch of fog and I was on a lonely stretch of road. 　36 I was going along cheerfully, thinking about the dinner I would eat when I got to Salistury .

I was going along　 37 at about thirty-five miles an hour when suddenly I heard a scream, a 38 scream--- “ Help! ” I looked round, but the only　 39 of life was a large, black, rather suspicious--looking（可疑的）car just　 40　 a bend in the road about a hundred yards away. That was where the cry had come from. I 41　 speed and went after it. I think the driver saw what I was doing, for he did the same and began to draw　 42 me. As I drew near, the girl’s voice came again, a lovely voice but trembling with　 43　 .

“Let me go, you coward; you’re hurting me. Oh ! Oh ! ”

I felt my　 44　 boil. The fog was coming down　 45　 now, and the countryside was lonelier. I had no 46 that the murderous guy in the car noticed this. Again came a cry.

“Drop that knife, you fool. Oh ! ” Then a cry and a groan（呻吟）.

If I was to save her, it was now or　 47 . Perhaps even now I was too late. But if I couldn’t save the girl, I would at least try to bring the murderer to　 48 . The car was only a couple of yards away now. I drove the bike right across its　 49 , and its brakes（刹车）screamed as the driver tried to pull it over and　 50　 into the ditch（沟）at the side of the road. The door of the car was pushed open angrily and a dark, evil-looking fellow stepped out .

“You fool!” he shouted as he came towards me with his fist raised to hit me. But I was　 51 　than he. I put all I could into　 52　 that would have knocked out Joe Louis. It　 53　 him right on the point of the chin; his　 54　 slowly bent under him, and he dropped to the ground without a sound. I rushed to the car, 　55　 open the door and looked inside. There was no girl there. Suddenly from the back of the car came a voice.

“You have been listening to a radio play, Murder in Hollywood, with Mae Garbo and Clark Taylor. The news will follow immediately . ”
