around to the kitchen door. where
his mother was doing her Saturday
baking.
Ma, how old were you when grand
father got you your first bicycle?" he
said.
"Oh, I don't remember" answered
his mother hurriedly and went on
busily tending her oven.
Were you Older than I am now?"
he tried again.
"I-now, Billie, you run along. 1
baking must be got into the oven.
Go on, play with your sisters"
Billie moved on. He thought he
might go over to Harmon's hardware;
Mr.. Harmon might have an errand
for him to run, or maybe some one
had ordered a bike and Mr.. Harmon
would be uncrating the parts and
getting it ready. He Shuf1ed along,
wondering how the bike he so often
ordered by fancy might come packed
for delivery to the store. When 1t
arrived and Mr.. Harmon was ready
to uncrate it he would want to be
there; those would be precious mo-

AS he stepped into the open back
door Of the store Billie heard low
vituperations coming from the shop;
Mr.. Harmon had just banged up the
telephone receiver. He glowered at
Billie when he noticed him. then
shifted his glare to the thing that
had shattered his mellow mood.
The boys somber gaze, following
the venomouS stare, came upon a

of the shiny bike before him, and into
his eyes it cast back the brilliance
that flashed off its blue angles and
polished curves.
Who is that for, Mr. Harmon?"
Billie blurted forth in the face of the
old mans poison.
Nobody, drat it," snapped the
hardware man Mrs. Williams Or

Here, here, get that pup of yours out

1t was late afternoon when boy

Harry swung into the bike saddle
and considered. What do I have to
do?" he asked suspiciously.
Billie gulped hopefully, eyes meek
with respect before the older boy.
Just get Roger and be down at the
station when my dad comes in.
Bring your bikes-both of you, will
you?"
Harry seemed to consider doubt
fully. then: Sure, kid" he said.
Billie romped happily down to the
station. When he had covered the
five blocks Harry and Roger werent t
far behind. The boys gathered to
watch the engine wheeze to stop,
then hurried back to survey the pas
sengers, Harry and Roger sitting
their bikes casually before Billie'S
worshiping gaze
When dad gets over here you fel-
lows just yell so long and ride off,
will you?" Billie pleaded. The other
two stared, puzzled, but Harry finally
said. "Sure"-grandly-and Roger
echoed, Sure"
Mr.. Bronson strolled over to the
group. surprised to see thni there.
AS he drew near Billie whispered,
"Now!" and the boys pedaled of,
calling farewells over their shoulders.
Billie stared up at his had, his face
screwed up with simulated anger.

"Humph.' growled Mr.. Bronson.

After supper Billie sat on the lawn
watching the darkness blot out the
last red fare of daylight. Cuddled
close to four little white legs stretched
out from fuzzy fat body, brea thing
at rest.
A cold wet nose found the cup of

it with affection. Billie started as he
heard his dads voice calling from in
