"Yep, here We are, sure enough," He quickly swung up the walk to the door. Harry was a tall good-look- ing youth who had just graduated from high school a short month before. His father had given him a trip west and was now looking up his Uncle's family in a small western town. He had never seen any of them, but he had written, so they were ex- him, had he touched the bell flew open wide and three No sooner you've come," they cried, while the littlest one, jerking him by the shoe laces, screamed, "See, Bee! Baby's teddy-bear!" Harry laughed happily. It was good to be given such a hearty welcome. He kissed them all, even the teddy-bear. It was funny, though. He haa thought Aunt Grace and the kids would be a lot older, but he liked them Just as they were. He talked and laughed and enjoyed himself jm- mensely. "And how's Uncle Jim? he asked. "Your Uncle John," his Aunt re- plied, with strong emphasis on the John, "is nigt so well today, Harold." "Uncle John!" Harry's eyes popped, and sick, too! Why Dad had said that Jim had never had a pain in his life. And then the way they all called him "Harold" was queer, too. Harry began to be disturbed. Just then the door bell rang, and Aunt Grace opened the door. A tall young man grinned at them all. "Aunt Grace," he cried, as he kissed the astonished lady on the cheek. The children slid off Harry's lap and gazed at him open-mouthed. 'Tm Harold," the newcomer ex- plained. "You were looking for me, weren't you? Aunt Grace recovere herself sud- denly. She wheeled around towards Harry. "Young man, what do you mean--" ghe cried, but Harry was al- ready sneaking out the side door. As he hurried down the walk he heard her excitedly exclaim, "Oh, Harold, you've just come in time to save us. That wicked man! He was probably a thief and a criminal.

Many motorists seem to believe that the main thing is to keep the sparking points clean and bright and they waste much time in so doing, treating them as they would contact points for low tension current. AS a matter of fact, it makes not the slightest difference to the high tension "Juice," which these points carry, whether they are dirty or clean, so long as no carbon particles bridge the space between them. The only important consideration concerning the points is the length of the discharge gap formed between them. So far as the passage of the spark is concerned there is only one part of a plug that must be kept clean and that is the Insulating core, especially the surface of its inside end between the central etem and the shell, This must be kept tree of soot, ofl and other foreign matter by washing it with alcohol or gasoline applied w long bristled brush or by scraping it with a kaif spark plug is screwed, the tube containing gasoline and a set of loose steel needles.
