But do we dare take it out on these tires ?" "How long has it been ?" asked Donald, busy at the engine.
"All of four years," answered Linda.
Donald whistled softly and started a circuit of the car, kicking the tires and feeling them.
"Have you filled them ?" he asked.
"No," said Linda.

"I did not want to start the engine until I had finished everything else." "All right," he said, "I'll look at the valves first and then, if it is all ready, there ought to be a garage near that we can run to carefully, and get tuned up." "There is," said Linda.

"There is one only a few blocks down the street where Dad always had anything done that he did not want to do himself." "That's that, then," said Donald.
Linda crawled from under the car and stood up, wiping her hands on a bit of waste.
"Do you know what tires cost now ?" she asked anxiously.
"They have 'em at the garage," answered Donald, "and if I were you, I wouldn't get a set; I would get two.

I would-put them on the rear wheels.

You might be surprised at how long some of these will last.
Anyway, that would be the thing to do." "Of course," said Linda, in a relieved tone.
