When they were working like Tro-
jans-Joe and Tom holding the rim
while Mr. Swift hammered it into
place, Joe suddenly let go.
'Lemme blow my nose,' he said.
The whole performance had to stop
while he went over to his buggy and
hunted around until he found big,
red handkerchief, and proceeded to
blow his nose. When he came back
they had to begin all over, because the
rim had slipped when Joe loosed his
hold. Mr.. Swift and Tom were pro-
voked, but Cousin Sue and 1 thought
1t was funny. We had not been work

they had. At last when they had the
tire replaced with new inner tube
and had it blown up and the tools all
put away we started on our way once
more.
I'VE will have to so right fast now
Mr.. Swift said, so we can make up
for the time we lost and get back for
church,
II wonder if it would not have been
better for me to have gone back with
Joe in the buggy?" Cousin Sue asked.

Swift did not even hear her. He was
thinking about making up for that lost
time. Cousin Sue and / were on the
back seat and were getting bounced
about amazingly. When / went up in
the air one time l got glimpse of the
speedometer. IT register &c 80 miles an
hour, and it was over country road.
That looked like good beginning
Even the back of Toms head looked
ecstatic. He was on the front seat
where the jolting was not nearly SO
bad.
Hold on tight, now / am going to
show you some speed" Mr.. Swift called

Mr.. Swift remembered that there

must have felt great deal. We got
out sadly and stood in a row and
looked at the wheel-that is. all of us
We're sad except Tom. Every hair of his
head positively bristled with delight.
Two punctures in one morning and
no church were beyond his fondest
dreams" Cousin Sue said afterward.

Mr.. Swift said rs there a garage
there?"

man at the blacksmith shop who ixes

Mr., Swift did not deign to notice US

even IL felt like doing it,"
Tom came back with a man and a
dog and the news that there was not
a telephone nearer than a mile away.
So Mr.. Swift and Tom had to jack ths
machine up and take off the tire. while
the strange man told about the autos
mobile he had when he lived in Cofo-
rado, and the dog barked and Cousin
Sue said she wished she had gone back
with Joe. I felt around my head and
counted my puffs and curls- i had not
lost quite half of them
At last the tire was off and We were
running on the rim. When we came to
the place where they give Spanish DIM
ners Mr. Swift stopped the car and
went in to see If they had telephone.
He was back in a moment.
''Sick man in there he said. They
don't want the phone used"
We stopped next at grocery that
evidently did not realizs that it was
Sunday. The telephone there was out
cf order We started again and before
long came to a streetcar line. There
was a. car coming. Mr.. Swift jumped
out and said 'Lemme get therer'

wild search under the seat for his two
punctured tires
