The sedan missed small coupe by inches

huge van whose close proximity to the white
line in the middle of the road had caused her
to swing her ancient sedan wildly in the direc-

But what about my stomach Chils?" her
lanky passenger demanded plaintively.
'Abbie you've got me wrong. I'm not the
hard drinker used to be in the old days when
was peddling Bilby's Beneficent Balm. I'm
a moderate man now. -
You're an artful old reprobate. Damn

That kid was fool to listen to you. But lot
of inventors are like that. Simple. Trusting.
Why didn't he come to me in the first place?
His idea of lawn mower is revolutionary.

far are we from Pentonville?"
"Two-three miles," Mr. Bilby said gloom

There's gas station" Mrs. Tupper
twisted the wheel wildly and sent her pas
senger careening against the side Of the car.
They slid up to the tank and jerked ex-
plosively to a stop. A reedy figure in faded
denim overalls arose from sagging rocker to
greet them. Over his head was small board,
stained a detected ochre by the weather,
which read:
PENTONVILLE GASETERIA
AND
SNAKE FARM

Ten gallons" said Mrs. Tupper briskly.
Nice quiet place you have here, my friend,
she went on cheerily.
Quiet" The word echoed over the CUR

a bargain. People would stop to see the snakes
and buy gas But he was just talking to get
the money he had out on the mortgage. And
a lot of the snakes died.

her fingers plunged into the depths of her
mammoth handbag. Then her dark eyes
glinted. Maybe you'd like to take look

mnation and a visible shudder.
lHEY saw Mr. Alvin Fishbitter in his dark

had been peddling everything from electric
toothbrushes to a mahogany concession in
Honduras.
Il have civic duty as we'll as personal
interest in this matter" the banker informed
his callers smugly. Drunken driving must be
stopped. The streets of Pentonville must be
kept safe"
That means, Just between the three of

had somebody take look at Chambers
proposition and he found it attractive, eh?'
Mr. Fishbtter's lips smiled, but he ignored
the question Il am informed by my lawyer
that have an alright case against MIR. Bilby.
1t will, of course, be improved by the fact
that Mr. Bilby will probably be convicted of
driving while - er - intoxicated when his
case comes up before the judge in the morn

Shut up, Homer said Mrs. Upper.
