walk. It's no good on the road."

"Looks to me like working pretty hard for your fun.
Are you going to be busy to-night? Want to make a call
with me? Spanish Johnny's come home again, all used up.
His wife sent me word this morning, and I said I'd go over
to see him to-night. He's an old chum of yours, isn't
he?"

"Oh, I'm glad. She's been crying her eyes out. When
did he come?"

"Last night, on Number Six. Paid his fare, they tell me.
Too sick to beat it. There'll come a time when that boy
won't get back, I'm afraid. Come around to my office about
eight o'clock,--and you needn't bring that!"

Thor seemed to understand that he had been insulted,
for he scowled and began to kick the side of the wagon,
shouting, "Go-go, go-go!" Thea leaned forward and
grabbed the wagon tongue. Dr. Archie stepped in front of
her and blocked the way. "Why don't you make him wait?
What do you let him boss you like that for?"

"If he gets mad he throws himself, and then I can't do
anything with him. When he's mad he's lots stronger than
me, aren't you, Thor?" Thea spoke with pride, and the
idol was appeased. He grunted approvingly as his sister
began to kick rapidly behind her, and the wagon rattled off
and soon disappeared in the flying currents of sand.
