ZOE wiped his hands on a bit of
e. waste, gave his grease-soaked hat
pull, and went out to the car. Hello,
Mrs Murchison.
Hello, Joe. =
She got out of the car, pulling off
her spotless gloves. She was young,
sleek and lovely She looked, Joe re-
Elected, like a million dollars. She also
looked mad as six nests of aroused
hornets!
He lifted the hood and looked at the
oil gauge on the powerful engine. 1t
was all right. and he had known it
would be because, he, himself, took
special care OF that engine. The Muir
chisons were special customers.
She said, I'm about out of gas, Joe,
Fill it up, will your"
Fright"
A car drove into the opposite alley
and Stan, Joe's helper, came out of
the station Joe watched out of the cor
ner of his eye. Stan was a good kid,
but his customer approach was some
thing short of perfection This time he
did all right.
THEN A CAR pulled up behind the
sleek ear Joe was servicing. Joe looked
up and said. Hello, Mr. Murchison.''
For moment, without replying, Mr.
Murchison stayed behind the wheel
He was tight-lipped, angry. and Joe
decided that if Mrs. Murchison looked
as mad as six nests of hornets, Mr..
Murchison looked at least as mad as
three nests. He got out of the car, and
when she turned her back Joe knew
that Mr. and Mrs Murchison were
mad at each other.
Mr.. Murchison walked to the ciga-
rette machine beside Joe's door. Joe

4 Short Story
By jim KJELGAARD

sighed There was enough trouble IN
the world, he reflected, without peo-
pie making it for themselves. And if
anyone doubted that just let him try
running a gas station.
Joe knew a little about the private
lives of most of his customers and a
great deal about the Murchisons. He
had watched their romance grow from
those first breezy dates into what he
regarded as perfect marriage.
They lived up at Crestwood, thirty
five miles away Their house was down
lonely road which, after you got few
miles from the city, had only couple
of farmhouses on it.
MR.. MURCHISON stood silent for
moment. Then he said softly, almost
pIeadingly, won't you listen to reason,
Jean?"
She whirled furiously. II have moth
ing to say to you that my lawyer cam
not say!'
Mr.. Murchison frightened up CAN
right! If that's the way you want it,
I'm coming up to get my clothesI"
''Do thati''
They were both very angry. Joe saw,
or they'd never be airing their per-
sonal affairs in front of couple of
gas station attendants AS though they
suddenly realized that themselves, the
Murchisons departed to their separate
cars and stood beside them. Joe
sighed again People shouldn't fight,
and especially people like the Murchi-
sons.
''It's all ready, Mrs. Murchison,' Joe
said
She paid him, accepted her change,
and whirled off with furious gnash-
ing of gears Mr. Murchison stayed in
