NELLIE'S OCEAN VOYAGE
By F. L Rowley
N ED Thompson sure could paint.
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.
