Sprint. He saw there was something
going on and trust him to step in!
AS soon as the rest of the crowd who
hadn't noticed Judy before saw Sprint
dancing with her, they were sure
they'd been overlooking something
good. And then Il don't know -
Judy seemed to change or something"
Then Judy quit being nervous and
afraid of getting stuck and began to
be herself" l said. understanding per-
fectly. "And when Judy's herself. the
car doesn't need any choking"
Isn't it simply lousy?" said Gig.

lay off for? The whole idea was to
give Judy good time tonight"
"Oh, can stand tonight" said
Gig. But mark my words. it won't

Gig looked at me with loathing.
"I1l get me no girl" he said. ''Un-

claimed.
"Oh, it isn't just tonight that's
