I'm a bit back in my
day's quota of selling Liberty Bonds, and I've got to
hustle. I'm sorry I bothered you about that tank picture,
Tom."
"Oh, it wasn't a bother--don't think that for a minute,
Ned! I was glad to see it."
"Well, he didn't seem so, and his manner was certainly
queer," mused Ned, as he walked away, and turned in time to
see Tom enter the new building, which had such a high fence
all around it. "I never saw him more indifferent. I wonder if
Tom isn't interested in seeing Uncle Sam help win this war?
That's the way it struck me. I thought surely Tom would go
up in the air, and say this was a dandy," and Ned unfolded
the paper and took another look at the British tank
photograph. "If there's anything can beat that I'd like to
see it," he mused.
"But I suppose Tom has discovered some new kind of air
stabilizer, or a different kind of carburetor that will
vaporize kerosene as well as gasolene. If he has, why
doesn't he offer it to Uncle Sam? I wonder if Tom is pro-German?
No, of Course he can't be!" and Ned laughed at his
own idea.
