When Saturday came Benny set off on his wheel for his visit to the Welch's, a very happy little boy, with his hard earnings in his pocket. As he neared the store he saw Jennie on the lookout for him. He could scarcely wait to show his wheel, and made his pedal go as he covered the last few rods. "See my wheel," he cried. "Aren't you surprised to see me on one?"
But Jennie hardly noticed the wheel. "He's come, father, he's come! " she cried. "Oh, Benny, we've such a beautiful surprise to show you. Hurry! Hurry!"
