FOO ° LISH “\ ee ARIES Dad O’Shea and the Speed Demon Dad O’Shea owns an extensive apple orchard, and he and his five stalwart sons run it “to suit ourselves,” though not always with the best results. Across the bay Raymond Barlow, an Eastern college man and “book farmer,” owns an equally extensive orchard and some- how, much to Dad’s chagrin, succeeds in making money out of it. Dad seems to take it as a personal affront that Bar- low actually makes a financial success of orcharding. But in spite of limited returns from crops Dad bought a showy, six-cylinder touring car. “Now I’m warnin’ ye,” he said to his sons, “she ain't fer you young fellers to bat around the country! Re- collect she cost nigh as much as a house. Tin mile an hour's enough over these roads, and I'm ridin’ wid ye to see that it’s kept.” One day when they were driving homeward a little horn squawked be- hind them on the narrow road. “Step on her, Frank!” urged Al. “Speed her up!” “Ye'll do nawthin’ of the kind,” de- clared Dad. “Ye know what I told ye.” “Aw, it’s only Ray Barlow; he can get by,” said Jim, glancing through the back window. “Ray Barlow!” cried Dad. “Step on ’er, Frank. Speed ’er up! Shake every bolt and nut av ’er, by crickets! Let’s see what she'll do fer wanst!” —Youth’s Companion.
