making nut preserves'for our win-
ter spread. I'm as tired-as I can be
and a. ride always rests me."

"I'd like to go. too!” said Mrs
Gray Toll gratefully. “I love to see
the sunset these ioteiy (all even-

won t catch cold. "

So they all hurried up with the

dishes and in about five minutes _
' they were ready to start for then-

"Hey. Nick. 3. little attention here,
please. Here’s a. customer."
' “Hello. Daddy!" cried Nick run-
ning out. "Good evening. ladies! It's
a nice pleasant evening [or a ride,
isn' t it?"

And then he asked Daddy What
kind of gasoline he wanted.

"I'll take the kind in the blue
pump." said Daddy.

“Why don't you get the kind in
the red pump?" said Mrs. Crack-
nutI. "It matches the car better and
the Bunnies and the Woodchucks
end the Poroupines and everybody
uses it."

“Oh. I like the other." said. Daddy
stopping the ear in front of the blue
pump no Nick could fill up hls tank.

"That’ right." pouted va‘Craok-
nuts. “I suppose 'it I had said the
blue pumr. you would have taken

. the red. It not seems that I cen’t

say a \\?d not more. Don't you
think so. Mother‘" she asked Mrs.
Gray Tall.

"I quitg‘ngree." stud Hrs. Gray

Tali. '

Well in a couple of minutes they
were ready to start again. Daddy
climbed in and paid for the gasoline
and started till engine an ewayuthey

“Mine, too." said Mrs. Gra Tail.

, 'All right," said. Daddy. . and he

slowed down. > -

"Oh. what did you come‘ this way
for?" asked Mrs. Cracknuls by and
by “We can't see e. thing and the
,rosd in all bumpy. "

"I thought you liked this road,’
said Daddy.

"We don’t.” said Mrs. Gray
“We told you to the other dam"
'Men ' haven't any memories,
Mother." said Mrs. Cracknuts. ‘
“So it seems." said Mrs. Gray Tail.
"Where's that spuesk rooming
from?" said Mrs. Cracknuts. "We
sound like a pig under I. ate. I
don’t believe this car has been oiled
tor a neck.
“I don t hear anything." said
Daddy.

"‘I do." said Mrs. Gil! Tall. '80“!

seems to keep his car in such good
condition, It never squeaks."

'You'te going too test again.
Daddy," said Me Cracknute. “It
you're going like that we may as
nell turn back home. There! That's
better! Oh. gdednen! You nearly hit
that car. Another half inch and we
Would have been wrecked.

“Watch that muddy place."

car so dirty. Besides I’m afraid
skidding. There! That's over. Did

Dnddy Cracknuts, you can take
