ON A BICYCLE.
A CHRISTMAS STOItV.
."This 13 tho sortof Christmas I like,"
said Fred to his sister, as sbo held tho
hall door open, whilo ho, nttircd In
brown velveteen with corduroy leggins
to match, wheeled hU machine down
the steps. She smiled, thinking of his
boyish days, when Christmas without
snow cast a gloom over his merry little
heart. She said nothing but a cheery
"good-bye," however, as ho went
llirongh the gale, and watched him with
promt eyes leap into the saddle and roll
gracefully down the avenue. Tho pure,
crisp air blew tho brown ringlets In
waves across her forehead, as she stooped
and broke from n holly-bush a bunch of
the shining, scarlet berries.
Fred felt inexpressibly happy as ho
started on that brisk morning ride; he
had the feeling of independence that
belonged to hlin as a university sopho
more; ho bestrode a glittering new ma
chine of which ho was not a little proud;
and more than all, ho was going to call
or; a young lady whoso laughing eyes
and rosy lips had haunted him through
three long months of term work. Per
haps Miss Ethel would bo out; tho
thought made him quicken his pace.
"In that case,"thought Master Fied, "I
will chase her ponyall over the country "
Ho turned off tho avenue, down a cross
street, smooth' and hard, and lined on
either side by great elms. On one of
these Fred heard a tremendous racket,
and soon dltcovarod a colony ot rooks,
cawing and cluttering In the bare
brandies. As be rode under them, the
i llock rost' w,,h a wlllrr; "r011 turned hU

Its careless rider, descilblng the quarter
of a circle over the obstacle, lauded flat
upon his back In front of It. For a few '
seconds the multitude of stars, moons
and planets that dai'ced before his ees
prevented his seeing anything else; but
a burst of agitated laughter brought him
simultaneously to his feet and his senses,
In front of him was a dainty little trlcy-;
cle. On ono half of the cushioned seat
Bnt n young lady, her tiny hoots on the
pedals, ono gloved hand on the steeling
handle, tho other hidden In a little muff
upon her lap. Her blown eyes were
turned upon our hero with n mixture of
amusement, anxiety and vexation. Fred
doffed his cap.
I really beg pardon. Did I do any
damage. It was awfully careless, but I
ldn't see you at nil."
"So I Imagined when your bicycle ran
mo down," she answered with demure
mischief.
"Are you quite sure that you aro not
at all hurt?" he asked again, anxiously.
"Not in the least; but my carriage
may have suffered," and she glanced
over it with a solicitous air. Fred made
a careful Inspection aud finally reported
all right, then commenced again his
apologies. The truth is,thls susceptible
young man had evidently forgotten his
intended call, and had literally taken n
header In love on the spot. Perhaps the
young lady knew it, for she thanked him
with winning frankness and a glance
that he remembered long afterward.
However, nothing remained to ho done
but to tip his cap and rescue his machine
from tho gutter, which he did, regardless
of a bent handle-bar. The tiieyclo was
still motionless as he turned again Into
the road, and its charming rider looked
nt him with perplexity.
"I am very sorry, but I think the axle
must be bent," shesald, as ho hastened
to her; "I can hardly move It." A
hasty examination showed him that she
was tight. Here was Indeed a dilemma,
and now a happy thought struck Master
Fred.
"Won't you let mo help you homo
with it? I can leave my bicycle Inside
tills hedco just ns well as not, and I
really ought to, you know, after belngso
careless," he added, trying not to appear
loo eager. She thanked him with a
slightly vexed smile, hesitated a mo
ment, and thou made room for htm be
side her. You may -ho assured that
Fred was not long in wheeling his ma
chine In hack of the osage helgeand
seating himself beside this very pretty
young lady.
"Shall I steer?" she asked, quietly.
"Yes, and I will manage the brake,"
answcied lie, casting an admiring glance
at tho gloved lingers so firmly clasped
around the ebony, and thinking, per-
liaps, Jhat if any braking was done, it
would probably lie Ills susceptible Iicatt.
In a moment they were rolling along the
street, her Utile feet following his as he
worked manfully at the pedals. They
rodo for some time in silence; finally
Frcil ventured to steal a glance at his
fair companion when he thought she
was particularly occupied In guiding the
trlevcle. and blushed tremendously as
he found that she was regarding him
with an amused smile. Then, desper
ately, In the endeavor to find out who
she was:
"Do you live very far from here?"
"I am sorry you arc getting tired."
This mischievously.
"Oh, but I'm not, you know," he an
swered hastily; "hoped It was at least
ten miles off."
"Thank you," she said, laughingly,
"but here we are now." And she turned
their caniagc up tlio graveled drlvo of
Asheioft, tho beautiful manor of Mr.
Ashley. M. V.
"Then you arc Miss May Ashley!"
cried Fred, In a breath. "I have often
heard my sister spent of you. I am Fred
Catnpbell.and you must let me take your
tricycle and have Its axle fixed."
Miss Ashley smiled as she dis
mounted.
"It Is not worth while thanks," she
murmured; and then, suddenly holding
out her hand, gave him another dazzling
shaft from those great cye. "I should
bo glad to see you here, Mr. Campbell."
Fred stammered his thanks, pressed
the little hand, and strodo down the
drive, treading on figurative rubber ped
als. If any ono had mentioned Miss
Ethel's name to him t hen, he would havo
gazed In blank amazement. Yes, it
cannot be denied, Fred Campbell was
very much In love. He found his steed
where ho had left It, and rode homo
slowly, saying, "Yes, very," rather ab
sently. In response to his sister's in
quiry as to whether ho had had a pleas
ant ride or not. He was not so badly
smitten as to prevent his enjoying his
roast beef and pudding, however, and
his father beamed approvingly at him.
"Hleycling Is a line sport, my boy, inno
cent and harmless." Hut the good old
gentleman did not uotlco the blush that
Fred choso to explain with a choke and
gurgle. After dinner ho stood with his
sister's hand drawn through his arm,
looking off upon tho gray Christinas
evening. Star after slar glimmered out,
and finally the huge orange disk of the
moon rose over the larches, "Beth, do
you know May Ashley?" he asked, ab
ruptly. "Who, no, Fred) that is, I
have met her twice this season, but have
only a bowin.g acquaintance with her.
Why?" the asked, looking at hhu curi
ously. 'Oh,nothiug,only I thought I remcm
berod hearing you speak of her, land
merely asked for the sake of saylug sonic
thing," hafctlly rejoined this very naugh
ty fellow. i
"She is said to be a littla odd; but
she Is certainly very charming," said
Heth.
"Hy Jove! yes!" muttered Fred, un
der his breath; and thtit, gently releas
ing himself, he donned his cap and
strolled out to tho lawn, where his bi
cycle, resting against a pot, glimmered I
in the moonlight. He regarded It a inln -
lite, then w heeled ij. "-liMe'i'v I-.ito the
If
drive, sprang Into the saddle and flew ,
down the road. As he bowled out upon
tho Avon plke,tho moonlight cast a gro-
tcsque shadow in front of him, as If an j
npe, perched upon a stick, were making j
frantic efforts to get off. ;
. Fred rode vigorously, as If the exercise
was a great relief to Ills feelings, and
then suddenly pulled tip as the great
gates of Asheioft came Insight. Ho
hesitated a moment, almost motionless,
then turned up tho drive. There was a
great deal of shrubbery around the
house; he would not go In, but would
quietly ride mound, aud perhaps, catch
a glimpse of tho fair trlcycllst, unob
served. A drawing-room curtain was
drawn; Fred dismounted and drew back
In the shadow, waiting. At tlio same
moment a step was heard on tho gravel,
and a young 'cycler came briskly along
the path. Ho was rather short and
slight, was tastefully dressed In daik
bluo khlcks and a polo cap upon which
a badge sparkled, and.he wheeled a
"forty-eight" semi-racer, full nickel, of
beautiful design and finish. "Hy Jove!
here's a young Ashley," thought our
lovc-slek 'cycler; "I must get out of
this." Ho came out upon the drive and
walked slowly up to meet the boy. A
glimpse of his, face In the moonlight
showed Fred that he was not over fif
teen. "Hog pardon; hut I must have .struck
a private drive, -have I not?" said Fred,
shamelessly.
"Yes, sir; Ibis Is Asheioft," answered
the youth, pleasantly.
"And you, my boy, are a young Ash
ley.just out for a moonlight spin?" said
Fred, with true sophomorle condescen
sion. "My name is Campbell ; suppose
we tako our ride together."
"Thank you, that would be jolly ;shall
w o start?" Fred gazed admiringly at the
little fellow as he vaulted lightly by the
pedal Into the pigskin, and said, sorro
vocn, "He's got the family accent. Won
der if I could pump him about his sis
ter?" Fred mounted and rodo up along
side of his companion, who was pedal
ling along with that careless case so
natural to young t iders.
"You ride a great deal, don't you?"
asked Fred.
"Oh, yes, sir!" answered the boy,
licai lily.
"And enjoy it, too, I sec," quoth our
hero; "what do you think of tricy
cling?" "I don't think it is quite safe.always,"
atiiwored young Ashley, casting a mis
chievous glance, at Fred, which ho how
ever did not see.
"Your sister, Mis.s May, rides out oc
casionally, doesn't she?"
"Yes, sir."
"And doc3 she like it, too?" asked
Fred, Indifferently.
"Ycj. she used to; but I believe she
thinks It isn't safe on tho highway,
now." Fred east a quick glance at the
speaker, but ho was legardlngthe moon
with such innocence of expression, that
Frod concluded that If he had heard of
tho morning's accident, liodid not know
that the guilty person was ridlifg beside
him. They rode on in silence for awhile,
then turned down Hrcntham. Two
miles ahead lay the fatuous Hrentham
hill, the terror of timid 'cyclers, and the
scene of many accidents until tho Union
"boarded" it conspicuously. Fred felt
very much drawn to this quiet, gentle
boy riding with him, and decided that
he-would prove a true friend In promot
ing his acquaintance with his sister.
"I I met your sister not long ago,
and she asked mo to call. Do yon think
she really would care to see me?"
"I am sure she would, very, very
much," said young Ashley, so fervently
that Fred, overjoyed, would have hugged
hint on the spot had that been a practic
able feat. As It was, ho expressed his
gratification as modestly as possible.
The 'cyclers had now reached the lop of
the long and steep hilt. Fred prepared
to dismount, and was surprised lo notice
his companion straighten up and tako n
firm grip of the brako handle.
"Why, aro you going to ride?" he
ejaculated.
"Oil, yes, I always do, my brake is
perfectly safe."
"I'm with you, then," caid Fred, de
termined not to he outridden by a mere
loy. They started down the steep grade,
Ashley leading slightly. Fred was ad
miring his pet feet control over tho deli
cate cenii-racer," when ho heard a sharp
snap, instantly followed by a short,
girlish cry from tho boy's lips. As tbc
machine shot forward, Fred saw the.
sliinlug brake-spoon on tho raid, and
realized what had happened. At the
bottom a mile down, lay the ford, now
swollen and filled with broken ice. In
a second his brake was relcasod, and
with a strong spurt, ho dashed after the
unwary machine. In a few moments
the speed was too great for padalllng.so
with legs over'handles he flew after the
now helpless boy yo, and gained upon
him rapidly, first lapping his little wheel
and then getting fast. In low tones that
Fred never forgot, "Save me!" ho
begged, aud Fred was away. When
about two hundred yards ahead, I7
suddenly dropnod both legs off the
handle bar aud put his toe on tho step.
In an Instant he was standjng upou It,
and the brake, almost red-hot, wan
scorchlnc the rubber, as it brought tlio j
machine to a standstill hy the terrific
strain. As ho jumped to the ground,
tlio runaway bicycle whlzzod toward
him, the hoy watching hint with oagcr
eyes. "Throw up your hands," shouted
Fred, and bracing himself, caught the ;
Utile fellow on his arm. lie stood the
shock bravely, but as the boy was
dragged from his saddle, the jaunty cap ;
fell off, and long, brown tresses fell over ;
Fred's shoulder. Startled, he turned to
the moonlight and gaie.l upon the 1
lieautlful face of May Ashley, lovely In 1

OPEN-MOUTHED W0MKH
A man about town, whoso principal
business is to put In as much time ns
possible doing nothing, stood on the
south-west coiner of Fifteenth and
Douglas streets Thursday afternoon ap
parently Intent on scanning the facial
expressions of evcly woman who en
tered or came out of Falconer's drygoods
establishment. He was too much of 11
gentleman to stare at women from vul
gar cnrioslty,nnd his occupullon excited
the surprise of a reporter.
"What are you trvlngto make there'.'"
asked the petlpatetie pcncll-push'cr.
"Nothing in pellicular."
"But you glare at every woman who
goes in or out of tills store as though yen
were a detective looking for shoplifting
kleptomaniacs. Now I want to know
what you're looking nt?"
"Well, If you must know, I'm watch
ing the women's mouths."
"Can'tyou see women'smouths enough
on tho street without standing there
glaring like a stone statue?"
"Yes, but l'vo just made a discov
ery." "Elucidate."
"Stand" here a few minutes. I'll bet
you the cigars nine women out of the
first ten who enter or coino out of the
store here will have their mouths open so
wide that their tongues can he seen."
Tho wager -was accepted, and tho re
porter took a position of watchfulness by
the side of the inan-about-town.
The first woman to enter the store was
one of .fashionable .attire, who tripped
lightly from a canlago at the curb to the
door. Slie stopped a second to gaze pi
the window, dropped her lower jaw half
an inch and displayed a set of teclh that
might have cost S-10.
"Ila!"sald the man-about-towii, "what
did I tell you?"
"Mere accident," said the reporter.
Just then two 13-year-old beauties,
giggling all over with giillshness,tiipped
around the corner and into tlio .store.
One was chewing gum, and the other
was talking fasler than the best time
Maud S ever made. Tho tongues cf
both were visible.
"Ah, therc;twotheier' said theinan-about-town.
The leportrr said nothing.
Presently an old woman, suppoitcd by
.1 pretty creature, probably her grand
daughter, entered the store; then three
women came out together. Old woman
and all had their mouths ajar from one
to three Indies each. Tlio list was now
swelled to eight, with only two to go on
for the reporter. He was hanging on the
thread of hope that these two might save
him, when a pair of matronly dailies of
more than certain ago dismounted from
a Sixteenth street car, stepped leisurely
up to the shop windows, peered In at
least ao seconds with their Hps hermeti
cally sealed, and then each gave an imi
tation of a fly-trap with her mouth and
they disappeared inside.
"Great discovery," said the man-about-town..

Tho Truo Secret of Living.
There Is a' saying that wo spend half
our lives in living and tho other half in

to think of how- we can live most com
fortably, and before we realize It disease
ha3 got into oursystcms. The best way
Is always to be prepared for such emer
gencies, and we know of 110 safer plan
