SHORT SHORT STORY:

ON THE

WRONG

TRACK

MERICAN MPs in Korea, order-

ed to keep pedestrians from riding on the outside of public carriages In Scout, drew up in their jeep bealde nn overcrowded tram one day and proceeded to pull several wildly gesticulating citizens off the rear, The riders protested in a melange of Oriental incoherence, but Anally all but one resigned them- selves to walking.

Suddenly that rugged individualist dashed the slowly moving car and climbed aboard. The MPs in hot pursuit once more yanked him to the side- walk, but again we took off for the trolley.

after

con-

By this time the MPs were siderably nnnoyed by comments from Yanks along the side lines, so they bundled the Korean into the jeep, drove him to bendquarters, and asked an interpreter to find out what the devil was the matter with him. It seems he was the conductor.
