It was just getting dark; there was a touch of fog and I was on a lonely stretch of road. But I was going along cheerfully, thinking about the dinner I would eat when I 1 to Salisbury.

I was going along 2 at about thirty-five miles an hour when suddenly I heard a scream, a woman’s scream—“ 3 !”I looked round, but the only 4 of life was a large, black, rather suspicious-looking car just 5 a bend in the road about a hundred yards 6 .That was 7 the cry had come from. I 8 speed and went after it. I think the driver saw what I was doing, 9 he did the same and began to draw away from me. As I drew near, the girl’s voice came again, a lovely voice but 10 with fear.

“Let me go, 11 fool; you’re hurting me. Oh! Oh!”

I felt my blood 12 . The fog was coming down thicker now; the countryside was lonelier. The man in the car had no 13 noticed this. Again came a cry.

“Drop the knife, fool. Oh!”Then a cry and a groan.

If I was to save her, it was now or 14 . Perhaps even now I was too late. But if I couldn’t save the girl, I would 15 try to bring the murderer to the police station. The car was only a couple of yards away now. I drove the bike right across its 16 , and its brakes screamed as the driver tried to pull it over and crashed into the ditch on the side of the road. The door of the car was pushed open angrily and a dark, evil-looking fellow stepped out, mad with anger.

“Fool!”he shouted 17 he came towards me with his fist raised to hit me. But I was quicker than he. I put all I knew into 18 that would have knocked out Joe Louis. It caught him right on the ground without a 19 .I rushed to the car, 20 open the door and peered 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.”

Last evening I was watching the evening news on television. The news was about a prize for scientific 1 ;I forgot what it was. The announcer, whose name was Ralph Story, said something that caught my 2 .“All great discoveries,”he said,“are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty.” 3 a little over thirty myself, I wanted to disagree with him. 4 wants to think that he is past the age of making any discovery. The next day I happened to be in the public library and spent several hours looking up the 5 of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right.

First I looked at some of the 6 discoveries. One of the earliest discoveries, the famous experiment that proved that bodies of different 7 fall at the same speed, was made by Galileo when he was 26. Madam Curie started her research that 8 to the Nobel Prize when she was 28. Einstein was 26 when he published his world-changing theory of relativity. Well, 9 of that. Yet I 10 if those“best years”were true in other 11 .

Then how about the field of 12 ? Surely it needs the wisdom of age to make a good leader. Perhaps it 13 ,but look when these people 14 their career. Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26. Abraham Lincoln 15 the life of a country lawyer and was elected to government. At what age? Twenty-six.

But why 16 best years some after thirty? After thirty, I 17 ,most people do not want to take risks or try 18 ways. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, while the latter was 19 trying new ways of painting when he was ninety!

Perhaps there is still 20 for me.
