Mary Lou had ridden over from

go for a ride. He had thought it
would be great fun, on the back Of
her big bike. They started of.
Then a motor scooter zoomed up

Miss Michael. the Sunday-school
teacher. came one day. too. She
brought coloring books. and a toy
car, and some chewing gum.
Kenny had to have ether for
both his operations. The first was
to cut away dead tissue and pre-
pare his ankle for a skin graft
from his thigh. The second one
was the actual grating. It ex-
