 The boarding house reach For many years now thirteen-year-old Wilbur Maxwell has wanted a bicycle. But he still couldn't persuade Mama and Papa to jar down—to get him one. So, when Papa was called away for a week-long business trip. Mom was persuaded to go with him for sort of a honeymoon, and the house was left in charge of sister Connie and sister Betty Lou, Wilbur got his idea. He would make his own money and buy his own bicycle. He would open up a boarding house right here. So into the paper went the ad, and that night the whole Maxwell house was crawling with people. Now every room in the house was full, Wilbur was doing a bang up business, and then it happened. Mama and Papa Maxwell, at two o'clock of the next morning came dragging home—Papa forgot his briefcase. From there on out, it was one mess after another. Finally, it was discovered somebody in the house was a bank robber, and poor Papa was mistakenly carted off to the clink. What a mess until the real bank robbers, Limpy and Nora McGuire, were found, Papa got out of jail, and Wilbur got his bicycle.

The Bufords had had a hard time since the death of Mr. Buford. Evelyn, worked in an office and helped as much as possible, but the fifteen year old twins, Winnie and Binnie had to be provided for. Mrs. Buford happened to think of her husband's rich aunt from California. She wrote and told her about her three fine children. Soon after, a letter came from Aunt Sop-hronia which said she would stop for a few days'visit while on her trip East. She said she intended to give each girl a check for $5,000. Since she despises boys, Winnie decided to pose as a girl in order to get his check. On the last day of Aunt Sophronia's visit, she announced she would have given $25,000 if there had been a boy to carry on the family name. Poor Winnie. He could have checked himself for overplaying his hand. But a surprising event took place which made everything all right and he got his big check afterall.
