tie spin about the city in his auto late

until he had put in about two, hours
cranking the machine. He would crank
awhile and then take rest and exam
inc all the starting parts in sight.
Small boys gathered around to ask why
the thing didn't start but Mr.. Mcintosh
handed them no enlightenment, he was
too busy cranking. T. B. Earle was
driving past and saw the perspiration
on Mr.. McIntosh's brow He stopped
to lend what information he carried in
stock, but even with this valuable boost
the thing wouldn't start, it seemed
glued to the ground. Expert Fred Car
rier was wired to come in haste. He
camel He saw! It took him about
three minutes to discover the seat OF
trouble. Everything about the ma
chine was in perfect running order with
the exception of the gasoline tank, and
that contained not drop-it was dry!
Mr.. Earle said that his book of infor-
nation Specified that gasoline was alb
solutely necessary in operating auto
mobiles, and thereupon the tank was
filled. Mr.. Mcintosh insisted that he
still had strength enough to give her
another twist. And off she went! The
small boy laughed at the joke. Andy
didn't. The neighbors smiled quietly.
Andy didn't. But ever after his me-
chanical eye will peep to the bottom of
that gasoline tank when the trouble
signal is out. 1t takes time to memoir
ize all the minute instructions for sue
cessful automobiling, but they stick
fast to him who learns by experience.
