Aunt Miranda tried to be brave and
to chat pleasantly. How Is Wall
street these days?" she asked. and just
then the machine struck a stone and
she went up in the air.
Unsettled answered Uncle Gilbert
when she got back, and then there
was an embarrassing silence.
To try to hold polite conversation
on a motor car in full flight is very
much like trying to repeat the Declare
ton of Independence while falling
from a seventh-story window.
Then. all of sudden. the machine
struck a chord in G and started for
Newfoundland at the rate OF 1000, 900
miles minute.
Aunt Miranda threw her arms
around Uncle Gilbert's neck, he threw
his neck around the lever, the lever
threw him over. and they both threw
a fit.
Down the road ahead of them a
man and his wife were quarreling.
They we're so much in earnest that
they did not hear the machine sneak
ing swiftly up on rubber shoes.
As the Benzine Buggy was about to
fall upon the quarreling man and wife

What would the townspeople say?
You with a new motor car, afraid to
run it yourself, had to send to New
York for your nephew-nixl Where's
your family pride?"
My family pride is all right an

lot of contraptions in that machine

"Oh, that's all right; you're a handy
little guy with machinery" reminded
him. Hop in now and break forth.
Don't let the public think that you're
afraid to blow bubble through the
streets Of your native town. The rub

Reluctantly Uncle Gilbert and Aunt
Miranda climbed into the kerosene
wagon and gave him his final in
structions.
Now, Uncle Gilbert l said, grab
that wheel in front of you firmly with
: both hands and put one foot on the
accelerator. Now put the other foot
on the rheostat and let the left elbow
gently rest on the deodizer. Keep the
rubber tube connecting with the auto
matte fog whistle closely between the
teeth and let the right elbow be in
touch with the quadruplex while the
apex of the left knee is pressed over
the spark coil and the right ankle

Uncle Gilbert grunted why don't

Miranda, do you really think your
Uncle Gilbert knows enough about the

Sure" 1 answered, and 1 was very
serious about it. Now, Uncle Gilbert,
keep both eyes on the road in front OF
you and the rest of your face in the

And away they started in the Whiz

Before they had rolled along for hall

G AYl did you ever have to leave

own rafting radiators in the Big City
and go romping of to rich relations
| for the Christmas weekend?
Well, don't do it, IL you can help it,
and II you can't help it get back home
as soon as possible
When Uncle Gilbert Hawley sent US
an invitation to run up to Hawleys-
vile for day or two l looked at
Peaches and she looked at me-then
we both looked out of the window.
We knew what a wildly hilarious
time we'd have splashing out small
talk to the collection of human brio
a-brac always to be found at Uncle
Gilbert's, but what is one going to DO
when the richest old gink in the fam
lily waves reckoning arm?
I'll tell you what one is going to do
one is going to take to ones O'Sul-
and float into Uncle Gilbert's presence
with business OF being tickled to
death-that's what one is going to do.
You know nature has few immu-
table laws and one is that even rich
old uncle must in the full course OF
time pass on and leave nephews and
nieces. Leave them what? Ali that's
1t! Where's that time table?
Hawieysville is about forty miles
away on the P. D. & O., and It Is some
burg. Uncle Gilbert wrote it all him.

Uncle Gilbert has nearly all the
money there is in the world. Every
time he signs check a national bank
goes out of existence. He tried to
count it all once. but he sprained his
wrists and had to stop.
On the level, when he goes into a
bank all the government bonds get up
and yell, Hello. papa."
When he cuts coupons it's like a
sheep shearing.
He has muscles all over him like a
prize fighter just from lifting mort
cages.
When Peaches and finally reached
the Hawley mansion on the hill we
found there scene of great excite
ment Old and distant relations were
busting up and down the stone steps,
talking in whispers; servants with
scared faces and popping eyes were
Ieeping around the corner of the
house and in the roadway in front of
a sobbing automobile stood Uncle Gill

look like two members Of the Peary
expedition at the Pole.
