argument that a fellow could get to
Bangor and back in an afternoon
without a nickel. They left Ellis
worth at o'clock with just ten cents
between them. They made Bangor
ON two lifts from friendly autoists,
and spent their dime for telephone
call and for a package of Necco

trip. Again they were indebted to
two motorists who got them back to
