A TWENTY YEAR- STOLEN BICYCLE
Ted Robinson has been worried all the week. Last Tuesday he received a letter from the local police. In the letter the police asked him to meet them at the police station. Ted wondered why the police wanted him, but he went to the station yesterday and now he is not worried any more. At the station he was told by a smiling policeman that they found his bicycle. Five days ago, the policeman told him, the bicycle was picked up in a small village four hundred miles away. They are now sending his bicycle to his home by train.
