Not houses and bams like most of us, but real good scenes on pieces of canvas. These he would sell over at Jeff Harvey’s gas-station on the main road. Pretty soon Jeff’s little station be came so busy that he had to hire a helper. “Best advertising I ever had,’ Jeff told me one afternoon as he wiped his perspiring brow. “Had thirty-seven ( cars in here so tor today—and this a Monday.” “Ned sure can knock out some beauties,** I said, scanning the tine of eye-catching panels. We both stopped smiling a few min utes later, however, when Ned drove up in his old car. “Got a few more pictures here,* he informed Jeff, pointing to the back seat “That’s the last of ’em.* It was easy to see that the wind had been taken out of Jeff’s sails. “But what about our business?* he asked weakly. “When the high way is widened folks from all over toe country will be stopping here to buy your paintings. If s—well, ITs like throwing money sway to quit now.” Me turned to me: “Isn’t that so, John?” I said It was so. 1 tried to con vince Ned that he’d got hold of a good thing, but he just shook his head. When his car wheezed awa^ It toft me and Jeff standing there with excee<ttngly long faces. You see—I was Jeff’s helper. We stayed at the station later than usual that evening trying to figure out some way to change Ned’s, mind. Both of us liked Nellie Thompson, and we certainly didn’t begrudge her the ocean voyage, yet her getting it would kill Ned’s incentive for painting. Worse yet, it would wipe out my job. “Let’s not kid ourselves, Jeff,” I said. “Ned is through painting unless he finds himself in a tight spot. He’s keeping his promise to Nellie, and for him that’s enough.” “That’s it!” cried Jeff, brighten ing. “We’ve got to convince Ned that his money will be gone when the trip’s over; now if we could talk him into going next year, or the year after—maybe Nellie Will listen to reason?” “But it doesn't seem fair,” I protested. "She’s waited all her life for this voyage.” “If s for their own good,” argued Jeff. ”—and for yours.” This made sense, but I didn’t like it. I only agreed to accompany him to the Thompson place to make sure he didn’t try to put anything over on the old couple. First, however, I had to phone Mrs. Dawkins, my landlady, to let her know Fd be late for supper. Jeff thumped the car horn im patiently while I was on the phone. Hie Thompsons were on the front porch when we drove up. Ned disappeared inside the house to round up some refreshments. Nel lie carried the ball from the start, getting Jeff into a corner and talk ing about agents and things like that. When we left, Jeff was mumbling to hhnseW and carrying on some thing itorce. “No go, eh?” “Well, Ned’s going to keep on painting/* he grunted. “Good! I feel sorry for Nellie, though. All her life she has looked fat ward to making an ocean voy age.” “Oh, she’s going to make her voyage all right,” he growled, “and Fm going to pay for it!” “You?” . “Me. She’s smart, that Nellie Thompson—too smart Somehow or other she got wind of the fact that Ned’s pictures are important to my business. She’s going to mail batches of paintings to me from every port they touch; but she’s allowing me a mere ten-per-cent of the profit instead of the twenty- five percent Ned always gave me. Claims such trips are expensive.” I whistled. Then I found myself wondering what Jeff would say if he ever found out that my land lady didn’t even own a telephone. IN THE BAG . . .
