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.

From Mrs. Pearl Babcock, Elk
hart, Indiana: I remember when
as a child I saw my first team
of oxen. 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.
