Purcells? When tljis guy puts the bite on me for those new dentures I’m getting, I’ll need money to pay for ’em! PURCELLS “Your Private Bankers’* 1418 Main St. Newberry 'i OLD HAND WITH CARS By F. L. Rowley T HE couple that entered my ga rage on a cool afternoon last autumn looked around as if they expected to find & fire-snorting dragon. I could see that they were piti fully young to elope; yet this was their obvious intention. The slim girl carried her overnight case just a bit too casually. From time to time she turned her pretty, un painted face up to the husky broad- shouldered youth at her yside for reassurance. “We’d like to rent one of your cars." said the boy carelessly. “Bill Shipley said you might let ,us have one.” This put things in a different light. Bill Shipley and I were old motor rivals. I couldn’t imagine why Bill would send a couple of nice kids like this over to me. Cars was my hobby—not my busi ness. Why I hadn’t rented a car out in almost a year. “Plan on getting spliced, do ye?” I asked innocently. They exchanged glances. Then the young chap put a muscular arm around the girl’s shoulders and turning to me with a direct look that I liked, said: “Yes, we do. Didn’t think it showed. Do we get the car?” “On one condition,” I said, walk; ing over to the best of my three old cars, “and that Is, don’t go over forty-five. By the way, where ye headed?” “Shelbyville.” said the boy after hesitating a second. I believed him. Shelbyville boasted the only Justice of the Peace within eighty miles. "Here’s the key,” I said a few minutes later after the car was gassed up. “Now remember, not over forty-five. Pay me when ye get back. Good luck to ye.” There were tears of gratitude in the girl’s eyes as she waved from the end of the drive. There was a guilty little lump in my own throat —I hadn’t exactly been on the level with them. Hoping they wouldn’t hold it against me I hustled over to the telephone. Bill Shipley answered with a growl. When he heard my voice he simmered down. It was the first time he’d given me a civil word since I had bested him in the sum mer road test. “Say Mac, did two kids show up to rent one of your wrecks?” “Yes,” I replied, ignoring the crack, “and I gave them the best in the shop. Do you know them?” “Do I know them? The husky kid is Whitey McPhail, the gover nor’s son. I’d like |j|' be there when the governor gets ^is hand on you. I sent them ov^ 1 to you because I know none of your old cars can reach Shelbyville in less than two days. Ha!” “Why you—” I didn’t get any further. Two well dressed men were standing at my elbow. Hanging up on Bill I turned to face them.\' “’ttiis is Governor McPhail,” said the shorter of the two intro ducing a tall gray-haired man with a worried look. “His son—” “Yes. I know,” I said looking at the clock over my workbench. “It is now one-thirty. At exactly two o’clock the car Whitey rented will run out of gas ten miles this side of Shelbyville. It’s up to you gentle men to be there.” I was eating supper In the ga rage when the little group returned It seemed the Governor liked the girl and decided upon a big wed ding for -his son. Everyone was beaming. Even Bill Shipley had a half-smile on his usually sour face. “It sure was clever of you to measure that gas so the car would stop when it did,” said Governor McPhail opening his wallet. “Well,” I said wryly at Bill, *Tm an old hand with cars.” “Oh, we put lots of gas in the car,” said the girl brightly. “We were delayed by a flat tire and some motor trouble. ’’ And that was the first time in twenty years that I heard Bill Shipley laugh out loud. And you know in spite of myself I had to laugh too. Then, shaking our hands, Whitey McPhail invited both me and Bill to the wedding. And we’re going too—in Bill’s car.

They were hauling wheat. I was so frightened of the great animals I hid until they were gone. • • • From James M. Bailey, Sheri* dan, Indiana: I can remember when my father raised a few acres of buckwheat. We had no way of thrashing it He built a bin about two feet high, put fence rails over the top of it and we used hickory poles to beat the grain which fell in the bin. I also remember helping my father build a barn. We went into the woods, cut the trees and he hewed the lumber for the building on the spot From there we hauled it to the bam site. • • • From Lola Baling, Thomas, Ok lahoma: I remember helping my father shell com by hand and hauling it to mill to be ground into meal. And I remember how he hauled saw-logs with an old span of steers. AND SPEND ALL THAT fAONEY? THE CAR WON'T START. YOU'D BETTER CALL THE GARAGE.
