The bay pumped up his bicycle, hopped on it and pedaled thru to New York. The doctor told the boy that the only thing that would save his mother's life was the North Carolina air. Not being able to pay his mother's way .back to these healthful hills, the boy let the air out of his bicycle tires in the room where his mother was dying, and she orcatned tnar vv esiern i . .i . n'. North Carolina air again, was in stantlv restored to health. Now beat that for good air, it you can, mid. txenange.
