cart tied with a string 10 the axle OF
his vehicle There were more young

little chap was looking az them and
trying TO put on speed to reach them.
A smile oyerspread the face Of the sill
ver-haired woman, and a Sudden
thought seemed 20 occur 20 her.
She rode a little slower, held the
handlebar with one hand and with the
other found the pocket In her dress.
/ skllluily she guided her bicycle close
10 the little red cart. and as she reach
ed Il the disengaged hand drew from
the pocket a big, round, red apple.
which she deity dropped In the little
cart.
