A piece fell off Then another one I'd of my paid $40 (two-third- s a for total wealth) shay just about to go to pieces all at once I had been delivering my paper one-horsepow- er route when I met Lorenzo and my troubles began Lorenzo was cautiously driving the old jalopy "Where'd you get the heap?" I hollered at him 'Oh around" Lorenzo said "A dilly don't you vaguely think?" It looked good There wasn't much left of it except the chassis and the engine and they were old enough to vote but it was lpng and low and its engine was music to my ears I needed a heap With one I could make my route in half the time with no fallen arches I shouldn't have bought it" Lorenzo said mournfully fnjy? I asked "You've been bad as I have" listing a jalop as route is even Loien zo's paper longer than mine "Sure and this is a steal at $40 But I have a big shipment of chemicals coming and another payment to make on the motor I bought for the shop So I've got to liquidate this asset but fast" "WhatH you take?" I asked remembering that Cousin Lorenzo is a smart cookie 4 $40 I did some W arithmeuc I had $60 quick saved up from the route Dollars that meant getting out in all kinds of weather mostly bad getting bawled out—anyhow $60 earned the hard way If I bought the car I'd have $20 left for repairs and to pick up some kind of body Before my better judgment could whisper "Sucker!" in my ear Lorenzo had my $40 and I had an antique heap It ran for almost two hours Our neighbor Mr Warren looked over the wall and saw me mourning beside my dead investment "What's cooking Jerry?'' Then he took another look at the collapse in the driveway and asked: "What's that doing there?" "Nothing" I said dully "And likely always will!" "I told Lorenzo the reason I hadn't gotten rid of that car long ago was because I was afraid to drive it to the junk yard" Mr Warren said "It was in pur barn so long the steel is bound9 to be crystallized I'd almost have paid Lorenzo $25 to get it off the place!" So! Cousin Lorenzo picked up a nice piece of change— and picked me for a sap I pushed the heap out of the way and went down to the junk yard myself Sometimes you can pick up an old engine But the junkman reasonably didn't have anything to sell for less than $50 and $20 is all I had in the world I was nosing around in the junk yard wondering what came next when I stumbled over an old wreck a Duhauser Four I'd only heard about them because the company stopped making them back in the twenties I could see the engine was in mighty good shape I asked the Junkman "Hey Mister do you figure to sell that old Duhauser for scrap?" "Yeah sure Right away now" he said "It's cluttered the dump for years and I need the room" "Could I buy the engine at scrap metal prices? By the pound?" I asked "If I take it out of the frame myself?" The man chewed on a toothpick and thought about it "Why not?' he said then "If you'll take the body too That's worth mighty little to anybody" WHEN he said v CO I got the engine and the body for $10 and an aching back! The engine weighed $10 worth at scrap prices and the aching back I got free while putting the engine into my shay at home I never worked so hard and long in my life But I wasn't going to have Lorenzo laughing in hit sleeve — if a rat has a sleeve The rest of my money went for parts The morning I was ready for a trial run I had just enough change left for two gallons of gas But when I spun the crank the old Duhauser engine hummed along the moment Puzzle Patch The Cirtiij before you speak?

jfour used household match sticks Into the center hole of each button insert one of the sticks and sharpen one end to make a spinning top From the illustration you can see how to mark off the inside of the box lid with black and white triangles leaving the center square white or coloring it any other shade you choose To play the game each player takes a turn at spinning two tops in the center square one right after the other If the top stops in a black triangle score five points: if in a white triangle score SUTTON BAMEr SHARP6U BHD points if in the center square no score is counted First player to score 100 points is the winner Keep your scores 10 with pad and pencil For a variation of the game scramble the numbers from one to 12 in the triangles and score points accordingly If you do this it might pep up the game' to cut the winning score down to 50 points instead of 100 Whichever is chosen keep the center square as a area nt Mislabeled A man was working in the yard --old when
