It must come apart. This meant .

the pump awhile he took a hammer
and gave it three sharp raps over the
valve. II reckon she'll 60 now" he
quietly said, and putting on steam
''she" did 60. The next day" says
the manufacturer, 81 received q bill
from him for SIS so THE price
amazed me, but when had examined
the items I drew a check at once. The
bill read this way: 'Messrs Blank q
Co, DR.. 10 John Smith. For fixing
pump, so cents; for knowing how, S25.'
Had ne charged SIS so for fixing the
pump I should have considered it ex-
orbitant But 50 cents was reason
able, and recognize the value Of
