CHECK

BRAM Cotters never dreamed
he~d run into such a snag as
~:this when he pulled his car into
~the filling. station and told. the at tendant to fill her up. Then, ac~;customed as he was to making his
_'}iving by passing bad checks, he
~fumbled for his wallet. and opened
~ft in front of the red-headed boy.
nf ~Gee, I guess I'll have to give
~you a check,"? he said. ~Can you

| cash one for fifty dollars?~~ i.

~Well, sir,"? the boy said as he
~;seratched his head, ~~we don~t cash

~. ~st ~\personal checks for strangers. Not

unless you can get someone to
vouch for you.~ -

~Oh, it~s a good check. Salary
_ check, from Carlson's downtown.~"

- 4. Yes sir, I know the store all

right, but~~
Cotters could see the small drug

| } store on the corner~ opposite the

~filling station, its sign saying
_~WRIGHT~S PHARMACY~, and
~his thoughts leaped fast. ~I know
Mr. Wright over there,~~ he said.
| ~Oh, you do, sir?~ the attend~ant brightened up. ~~Well, sir,
~ that~s ~better. I tell you what. Why
' don~t you just go across to the
~ store and tell Mr. Wright. what the
| situation is, and have him wave to
~me if he knows you and if every~thing is all right.~~.
ji ~ ~Sure,"~ said Cotters as he looked
~at the phony check with tne phony
(mame. ~~By the way, ~- your
~name?~ he asked.

~Andrews, sir. Jack Andrews,~ iy
he heard the boy say.

He walked into the. drug store
sand saw-a man of about sixty putting up stock behind the counter.: ~Hello,~~ he said to the man, ~are
you Mr. Wright?~
| That's me," said the pharma~eist. ~What can I do for you?~

' ~Well, I just bought some gas: from my friend Jack Andrews
across the street, and I find that
~all I have with me is this check
for fifty.~ ~

|. ORR" ~The pharmacist replied.
| *He said that if you'd just step
~to the door and wave at him,:he~d
~wave back and let you know that
~everything is al) right.~

~Oh, all right,~~ said Doc. ~~Jack~s
a fine. boy. wae him since he
was four.~

The pharmacist. anne to: the
door and waved a hand across to
the réd-headed boy, and through

~the ~window Cotters watched the

boy wave back with a big sweep.
Everything was all right. So Doc
cashed the check and handed Cotters five teri-dollar bills.
+*Thank you ever so much,~ he
said. On his way back to the car,
he pulled out another check just
like the one-he had passed on the
pharmacist.

The attendant was smiling. ~~Sorry to cause you so much:trouble,

sir, but now that I know every
thing~s okay...~

Cotters was careful to keep his
back toward the drug store as he
handed the boy the check. And a
moment later the boy handed him
$48.90.

~Thanks a lot,~ Cotters said. He
climbed into the car and turned~:
on the ignition. ~~What a sucker
trick that was!~~ he grinned.

He: pushed hard on the starter,
and the engine spluttered.. He
pushed again. Then his. feet
fidgeted with both the starter and
the accelerator.

~*You~ll flood her that way, sir,~
he said. ~~Maybe I~d better check
the carburetor.~ And in a jiffy he
had~ the hood up.

~Should be okay now,~ he said.
But when Cotter'~s tried again, the
engine spluttered worse.

~What's the matter with the
thing?~~ he. stermed. Be more care-_
ful.~

~J will be from now on,~ answered the boy as he looked up to
see the two policemen coming with
Mr. Wright over to the car.

~That~s the man,~
pharmacist. ~Good thing -Mrs.
Léslie stopped in the store just
now. She works down. at Carlson~s
where this check was drawn, and
she came by to pay her bill.. When
she pulled her pay envelop out of
her bag to give me cash, I got.
suspicious right then. She told me
Carlson~s never pays by checks.
