I have been afraid of putting air in a tire ever since I saw a tractor tire blow up and throw Newt Hardbine's father over the top of the Standard Oil sign. One (Low-Heel) protesting that women were weak and silly Creatures, but all too dear, the other (High Head) that they were strong, gallant, twice as hardy as any Man, and several times his equal in Brain, but none so precious. 'It puts me quite past my patience too!' muttered I, getting up; and, seizing the poker, I dashed it repeatedly into the cinders, and stirred them up with unwonted energy; thus easing my irritation, under pretence of mending the fire. There's a hand-pistol with a silencer, a brief struggle and a couple of muffled rounds go off. Come to me.
