This is a novel book. A working-man is seeking a means of reaching his humble home, miles away, over wrought with anxiety for his boy, who has been crushed in an accident. The father, denied elsewhere, makes his appeal at a private house. The owner, touched by the story of suspense, orders out his car, and himself guides the 'chariot of fire' in a wild ride through the night. The author has written nothing more appealing and dramatic.
