"I've got something to show you all," Billy announced at the luncheon
table. He wore the satisfied air of one who has accomplished something
long desired.

"What've you got?" Peggy answered promptly.

"Guess!" Billy fixed his attention upon his plate in a tantalizing way.

"Oh, I know--it's a new sending set! I guessed first!"

"You didn't guess, either! I'll bet you saw Joe Gary bring it!"

"What is a sending set?" asked Keineth.

"I'll show you afterwards," Billy answered, with a kindness meant to
crush Peggy.

Mr. Lee broke in: "But I thought you had to save three dollars more
before you could buy one--"

Billy flushed. "Well, this ain't exactly mine--yet, Dad! Joe Gary made
it and he's going to make another and he says I can use this one until
I want to buy it or at least for a while. I have that dollar I was
saving and my onions and radishes."

"Good gracious!" Barbara laughed, "I suppose we'll live on onions and
radishes three times a day."
