stood by the curb he should ride
home
For three weeks this state of affairs
continued. Several auto statesmen were
disguised by Perkins presidency in
not making a choice and departed
from the ranks. Others hung on,
forcing their cars upon him. Among
these was Wilder, who succeeded IN
getting the prospective customer to
ride in his machine every day; and
his car, too, was the preference of Mrs.
Perkins-being of the same make as
Klocke's-only larger
1t was this bulldog tenacity in Wilder
which caused the neighbors to believe
that Perkins had really bought a
machine, and that the chauffeur drew
his nav from the recognized owner.
Indeed, it had all come about so
easily that Perkins almost expected a
raise in salary in recognition OF his
prominence in the motor world.
Lets take the Klockes out riding
in Wilder's machine" Mrs. Perkins
suggested one day; they think it's
ours, and they know it's better than
their own. 1t will be such fun. You
know, they just can't refuse, for we
have so often accepted lnVlIatlons 10
ride in their car" The madness was
still on Perkins and he greeted the
idea with enthusiasm Consequently,
the Klockes were invited, and accepted;
and Wilder was called up and requested
to send his machine and chauffeur
around the next day to take out a
small party.
Perkins was rubbing his hands joy
ously when the car drove up the
following morning ooh, you're a
new man, are your" he asked the
chauffeur, in an indulgent voice.

and huge features gave him the odd
appearance of deep-sea diver. ;,
Mrs. Perkins swept down the walk
with her habitual elegance, and settling

And better one than the Klocke's,
tool"
at won't be so bad" unused Mr..
Perkins. Guess my family can ride
in an auto as well as Klocke's. And it
won't cost me cent, either, that's
the beauty of the whole thing; it was
Wilder's invitation and | didn't even
have to say that / was thinking OF
buying car"
Sunday came, and so did Wilder;
in huge, putting, touring car. Mrs.
Perkins swept out of the house in a
stunning auto veil, carrying a long
wrap and automobile coat, and sprang
magnificently into the machine. Her
husband followed with the Three little
Perkinses.
1t was a wonderful ridel They met
everybody they knew, and Mrs. Per-
kins bowed to her Boulevard friends
with a slight condescension of the
motorist. But it was not until they
were on their way home that the
full triumph of the day was realized.
They met the Klocke family, whose
mouths simultaneously opened in amaze
ment as the Perkinses passed.
"What dinky little machine
Kloeke's is" said Mrs. Perkins.
The following day, Wilder sent the
same machine around to take Mr..
Perkins down to the office. His wife
accompanied him and, after dropping
Perkins, made a tour of the shopping
district and stopped at every possible
store, although she did not purchase
anything.
Before that week was over nearly
every auto dealer in town had noticed
that Wilder was trying to sell a new
customer, and every day different
makes of machines were placed at the
disposal of the willing Perkins and his
more-than-willing wife.
In fact, no one ever entered into the
spirit of real "joy-rider" with more
enthusiasm than did Mrs Perkins.
Perkins, too, was intoxicated with
the experience. He patronized the
various chaffeurs who were sent around
to him, and every night he deliberated
in his office for ten minutes trying to
decide in which of the machines that

~ didn't know he had enough
money"
"Wel, it doesn't take all the money
in the world, nowadays, to buy an
auto. He's got chauffeur, too"
But though everyone doubted Per-
kins' ability to support a touring-car
even larger than his family, no one
doubted for a moment that he owned
the car in which he rode daily. Yet
the fact was, he didn't own even the
spark-plug, for Perkins was a Coy
rider" most modern manifestation
of the "dead beat"
Perkins fell into this Ubiquitous prac-
tice through envy of his neighbor,
Klocke, who was the proud owner of
a 30-h. D., and the downward path was
as smooth and simple as an asphalt
grade. Klocke had no more money
than Perkins, yet the rivalry between
the two families was so great that Mrs
Klocke never sported more gorgeous
feather than Mrs. Perkins-for more
than two days; and therefore when
Klocke bought an automobile the
Perkins family was tempted and 1t
fell.
II was one night about a week
after Klocke made his purchase that
Mrs. Perkins sighed so bitterly that
her husband looked up quickly from
his after-dinner newspaper.
"What is it, lover" he queried;-
Klocke addressed his wife simply,
"dear"

her husband evading his wife's direct

"You know, Papa Perkins, there are
others in no better circumstances
than we who have automobiles of their

Mrs, Perkins sat with knitted brows

Strengthened out, she smoothed out
her puckered forehead and glow
spread complacently over her coun-
tenance, growing into smile that

When Perkins hung up the receiver
he turned with a triumphant laugh,
which was echoed by an exclamation OF
delight from his wife, who rushed to
his side and was shaking him by the
shoulders in her enthusiasm.
