Hugh had been told where the key of the garage was hidden, and quickly discovered it hanging on a concealed nail.
"Wait till I throw the switch, and light up," said Horatio, for they had electricity at the Kinkaid place, and, of course, a bulb lighted in the garage was considered much safer than a lantern.
As soon as the illumination came both boys set about examining the big touring car that occupied the garage.
"Bully!" ejaculated Horatio, after making the rounds with suspended breath; "all the tires are as hard as anything.

How about the supply of gas, Hugh ?" for his companion had occupied himself with making an examination of the tank.
"Plenty to carry us up and back twice over!" cried the delighted Hugh.
"This is what I call great luck.

I was afraid there would be a tire that needed changing; or else no gasolene at all." K.K.

didn't realize how kind he was to himself when he fitted up the old car so handsomely, for some purpose." "Oh!" chuckled Horatio, "mebbe I know why.

You see, there's going to be another barn dance next Tuesday night up at Bailey's, and I think K.K.asked a girl to go with him and Peggy Noland and Owen Dugdale.
