"Tou haven't had Firefly out of llio
stable for almost n week In spite of this
flno spring weather, Esther. I thought
you were going to ride her to town yes
terday afternoon, but James tells mo
that you walked over to Clifton Cor
ners and took the ear. I can't Imagine
why you care so much less for horbc
back riding than you used to."
Major Harrington looked with a keen
oye across the table.
Behind the coffee urn Esther blushed.
"I think I really don't care less," she
Bald, with a trace of hesitation, "but
the weather has been so lovely for
walking lately." Don't you want an
other cup of coffee?"
"Tea; very line for walking, horse
back riding or bicycling. If these
wheeling people keep up their external
craze we shall all be run over and
killed some fine day yet. Yes, give inc
another cud of coffee, my dear, and n
little more cream, please. Here are
two letters for you." The sweet, fresh
nlr of a May morning came Into the
stately dining room of Scarlet Oaks
through a half open window.
There was silence In the room for a
few minutes while Major Harrington
devoted himself to his paper and Es
ther read her letters, and then the ma
jor broki out In a characteristic man
ner: "Ah, Just as I said; here's an
other bicycle accident, a woman killed
at a railroad crossing. Gad, I think
there ought to be a law against the
things; and as for women riding them,
every one of them ought to be locked
up. Don't you see, It's this sort of
thing I'm protecting you ngalnst when
1 wen't let you ride a wheel? Ju3t
look ut that!" He handed the paper
across the table.
Either quickly took In the headlines
and then a paragraph lower down lu
the column.
'Why, uncle," she said, Hi a timidly
protesting manner, "don't you see it
was all the engineer's fault. The wo
man was"
"The woman was an idiot to be on a
wheel at all," cried the major, In his
most Irascible mood. "Would she have
been killed If she had been at homo?
No, sir; let me tell you, a woman never
ought to mount anything thut hasn't
an intelligence of Its own. If she had
been on horseback the horse would
have known enough not to try to cross
the track. Ellis, tell James to have
Flreily ready at three o'clock this af
ternoon for Miss Esther. You must
take a gallop, my dear. The best cross
country rider In the county ought to
get out oftener than you have been
doing lately."
Oh, yes, I v.111," said Esther, hur
riedly, "and wait a minute you won't
forget that you promised to take me
to the Mllllngton-Irving road race to
morrow, will you?"
Major Harrington paused near the
door.
"I'm not so sure that I promised."
"Yes yes you did. You promised
both Mr. Bronson and myself that you
would."
"And Mr. Bronson, what Interest has
he in this race?"
"Why I I think ho will bo there
Bomewhere."
"All, well, it Mr. Bronson is to bo
there perhaps I had better bo your
escort," said tho major, significantly.
"Yes, I will take ou, and I hopo the
tight will euro you of your craze for
cycling."
Half tin hour later Paul Bronson was
closeted with tho major In the library.
Scarlet Oaks was heavily mortgaged to
the real estate syndicate which Paul

represented, and unless the cablegram
the major had expected for a mouth
past from his London bankers should
arrive within forty-eight hours the
place would be lost. Every report thus
far had been of the downward trend of
his foreign securities, and now It was
the 29th of May, and no word had como
to save the place. A deep silence had
fallen between tho two.
The major broke it. "So far as I can
see, there will be no obstacle to your
taking possession on tho morning of
the 31st. Unless you receive word
from nie In the meantime you may be

tails." It was late in the afternoon when two
cyclists turned Into tho long stretch of
road, three miles from Scarlet Oaks.
"The tunny part of it is that ho
doesn't for a minute suspect tho real
reabon why I went to see the race. If
he knew that you were to be one of the
riders I could never get him to lay eyes
on tho course."
It wa.t Esther.

you have been riding the tabooed wheel
for months," said Paul. They laughed.
"Matters are getting serious now,"
continued Paul, "and something must
be done at once. If the trust company
forecloses the mortgage on tho last day
of May and the major carries you off
abroad"
"But I won't go." (
"You will have to go unless we do
something. Our masquerading Is at an
end now, Esther, and we must face the
situation."
They wheeled leisurely along.
"I do not hope for any relenting my
self," said Paul, "but I put off speaking
about it until after tomorrow in order
that you might see the race. I must
see you when I cross tho tape at the
finish. Everett beat me by a hair's
breadth last year, but I'm In first-class
condition now, and I'm going to win
that race."
"Oh, Paul, it will bo the first race I
ever saw, and do you know it seems to
me it will be enough to bring Uncle
Jack around to see you win it."
"Not much," said Paul, grimly. "He
Is wedded to horseflesh. Tho fact Is,
I don't think it will do us much good,
but it's a desperate case anyhow, and I
am simply determined that you shall
see the race. If the worst comes to the
worst you will keep your word, won't
you? We won't bo tho llrst who got
married and asked permission after
wards." Ho circled around In the road and
camo nearer to her. As hei did so he
caught sight of a tall, military figure
on horseback in their rear. "By Jove!
Esther," he said, quickly, "It tho major
isn't right behind us. Lean over a lit
tle and tako the cross road to Clifton
porners he can't tell us from Adam at
this distance."
Tho major looked after them musing
ly. "A blcyclo courtship very likely.
If I hadn't kept a strict eye on Esther
sluf would have been gadding about
the country In the samo way with
young Bronson. Hanged if I know
what to think of women nowadays. I'll
tako Esther to tho race tomorrow for
the express purpose of keeping Bron
son away from her as If I weren't up
to their little game."
The major chuckled and gave the
rein to his horse.
The morning of Memotial day dawned
in clear and perfect brilliancy. Tho
wholo countryside was in a state of
excitement duo to the great annual bi
cycle road race over tho famous Mll-Hngton-Irvlng
twenty-five mile course,
and the entire route was lined early
with thousands of spectntots. Twenty
Ilvo miles from Scarlet Oaks Paul
Bronson mingled with the racers who
thronged about tho starting point.
"How ari you, Paul?" askel a tall
young fellow. "Hopo you're in good
shape today."
"Never was better," said Paul, cheer
fully. "I'm out to win today or retire
for good. I hardly expected to ego. you
here, Tom. How is this?"
"Oh, I don't expect to win. This Is
merely a training exercise for nie. I
say, Paul, tho boya are with you, don't
you know. Good luck to you, old fel
low; wo all hopo you'll win."
"Thanks, Tom, but I may have a
tough tussel. How many starters are
there?"
"Oh, only a million or so a lot of the
worst-looking skates I ever saw. There
are only a dozen really good men In tho
lot. All you have to look out for Is ac
cidents. If you get tangled up with a
batch of those wretched amateur let
tho amateurs got killed there are too
many of them in tho gang anyhow."
"Look out there!" Shouted a sten
torian voice. .An avant courier of tho
raco Hashes by them. A cloud of yel
low dust filled the air, and a Bhout
arose from th'o crowd that jammed
perilously close to tho route as tho hour
for tho race approached.
Tho famous race course stretched Its
sinuous route, curving through a beau
tiful country now In tho flush of radi
ant early summer, and flying over It,
with every musclo as tense as steel and
forms bent over the handle bars In dc-s-pcrate
endeavor, were over a hundred
contestants (or tho prizes.

It was but a few minutes after eleven
when two men shot over tho tapo at
tho beginning of the race, heralded by
a loud cheer from tho multitude that
seemed to promise victory for them.
"What a beautiful motion Garrett
has," said an enthusiastic girl in a
fetching blcyclo costume. "Just look
at him. And with that start, too. Oh,
I'm sure no's going to win."
Her more experienced companion
laughed. "Walt till you see tho llnlsh
before you oro so sure of that. Just
keep your eye on some of those fellows
who dcllgh't to clip in and cut down tho
time limit to nothing, nnd come sailing
down the homo stretch as if they had
started out the night before. Y'ou see,
the really fa3t men are all to start yet."
"Out of tho way there!" said a mar
shal, pushing back the too reckless on
lookers. As ho uttered tho warning the ten
men who had followed the leaders on
tho seven-mlnuto limit came down the
course like the wind and dlsapptnred in
the distance. Close behind them fol
lowed a bunch of starters who had
crossed the tapo a few mlnutps later,
and who had set e, rattling pace from
th? first. Each different set of riders
seemed to create fresh enthusiasm for
iho crowd, and it cheered loudly as
they flew past. Over ont hundred men
followed at Intervals of fifteen sec
onds, and tho great race was on In
rarncsl. Half an hour after the start

like a dissolving view, their motion
varying from the kaleidoscopic whir
as they passed the eye line to the dim
and almost imperceptible acton as far
away aa the eye could reach. Hotter
and hotter and more determned grew
the contest as It drew to a finish; those
who had survived the long and difficult
test bent nil their powers In a final ef
fort to win.
Many of them showed the effect of
the struggle.
Paul hid ridden well from the first,
and halt way down the course had
pulled away from the main bunch, nnd
was close in the rear of the leaders.
All were saving themselves as much as
they dared, for the final and decisive
strain.
Onco Everett threw back a quick
glance.
"Looking out for Bronson?" cried tho
man behind him. "He's a mile or so
back there somewhere."

RANDOM REMARKS ON
HEALTH AND HYGIENE
Tho lmportanco of an early formed
habit of complete physical self-control
is urged by a writer in Leslie's Weekly.
Every thoughtful person, he says, can
readily understand how a habit of giv
ing way to every trivial physical Im
pulse Is almost Inevitably formed when
no especial curb is placed upon the gen
eral manner. In the days when girls
nnd boys also were taught to keep
themselves In hand, and allow no mo
tion that was not necessary, they were
on tho watch for every trilling move
ment and it was stopped almost be
fore It began. At an nssembly of what
Is supposed to be tho most highly cul
tivated class in a great city, a gentle
man was recently annoyed during the
entlro evening, because a woman In
front of him, handsome and elegantly
attired, constantly turned and twisted
her head and contorted her counte
nance. Possibly she was afflicted with
a form of uncontrolable nervousness.
Moro likely she was simply tho vic
tim of a habit, begun in self-oncscious-ness
or embarrassment, continued
through heedlessness of neglect, and
finally culminating In a personal pe
culiarity almost impossible to break up.
Genuine nervous twltchlngs of the
head and face, are, perhaps, the com
monest incipient forms of St. Vitus'
dance, but can usually be cured If taken
In childhood. Since they are often not

Dr. George F. Shrady, In recounting
in the Forum the modern advances In
medicine and surgery, says: The great
improvement in tho present as com
pared with the past methods of admin
istering medicines deserves a passing
comment. Scarcely a generation ago
the threat of a dose of the nauseous
drugs of the day was sulllclent to sup
press tho worst of evil propensities In
the most wicked boy. Castor oil was
a punishment, rhubarb was a terror
and senna an abomination. The naus
erous mixtures of our grandparents
are now replaced by tho elegant and al
most tasty compounds of modern phar
macy. The essentials of the former
medicines are now given in the forms
of condensed extracts and alkaloids in
proportionately reduced bulk and In
consistently concentrated form. Single
remedies with special Indications take
the placo of the old-fashioned shotgun
mixtures. Tablets, pellets and pills no
longer offend tho palate; and even
quinine, the bitterest enemy of taste,
now sues for favor in sugar-coated ar

According to Dr. William II. Pearse,
the danger of catching cold Is not in
sudden transitions from heat to cold,
but tho reverse. Dr. Pearse says that
he has walked at midnight from a
highly heated mansion across Boston
common, In his dress coat only, on a
calm starry night, thci temperature
about zero. He suffered no inconveni
ence, and felt sure that the stimulus
of tho heat of tho house gave h'lm
power of resistance to the cold. Dr.
Pearse is undoubtedly correct In his
observation, says the Medical Record,
that one can come from a hot room In
to tho cold outer air and run but little
chance of catching cold. The danger
Is rather In entering a hot room from
without, nnd especially in entering an
overheated nnd unventllated apart
ment filled with excrementitlous pro
ducts from the lungs and skin of its
Inmates. A change from a h'ot to a
cold atmosphere can be made suddenly,
but that from extreme cold to indoor
heat should be made gradually If ono
would avoid tho catarrhal consequen
ces of "catching heat."

The bad habit of wetting lead pencil
points In the mouth is thus touched
upon by the Medical Review: Recently
a woman of fine bearing and elegantly
dressed stepped into the counting-room,
of ono of the local papers of a largo
city to Insert an advertisement. Hav
ing no pencil of her own, she picked up
a. pencil which was tied with a string
to a pad used for writing. At once she
moistened the lead with her tongue
and began to write. An elderly woman
who was standing by reminded her
tluU. the pencil had just been used by
an old man, ragged and dirty, greasy
and filthy, who nlso had contracted tho
same habit of wetting the pencil on his
tongue every time he wrote a word.
Tho disgusted woman flung tho pencil
away and scolded the young man be
hind the counter until ho sharpened a
brand new pencil for her use and bene
fit. Tho habit is a foolish one. In
stead of making tho pencil wrlto more
freely and easily, It hardens it and
makes it write blurred and Irregular.

,Tre fact that tho -oirlng cf veils Is
productive of weak eyesight, says a
medical Journal, headaches and some
times vertigo and nausea, is within tho
experience of every ophthalmologist.
Not only aro these effects produced by
tho eye strain consequent upon the
added efforts mado by ono or both eyes
to seo through or around an obstruc
tion, but tho Irregular figuring on the
veil Itself U, in tome Instances a source
of annoyance to the wearer. As in
other cases of abuse, the burden rests
heaviest upon tho weakest, eyes, nnd
probably the reason why one encoun

Is that the cmbariassed eyes nre ablo

There aro too many young mechanics
who aro dosing themselves continual
ly, threo times a day, with all sorts
of sarsaparlllas, Iron tonics, and oth
er compounds, in the hopo of working
up a llttlo pure blood, a good appe
tite and a cheerful spirit, when, If tho
truth was known, tho samo amount of
rain water would be equally as good,
if not more beneficial. What is want
ed to wako up tho drooping spirits of
an always-catchlng-cold mechanlo Is
a cold-water bath. Tho life of many a
mechanlo is such as to rebel against
any such treatment unless In tho
warmest weather, and In. a bath of
dljout tho same temperature, for fear
of bringing on a chill thnt they could
never get over, when, in fact, It Is tho
very thing thnt is needed to keep from
catching any dlsense. It In "true that
but a few of tho evcry-day laborers
have tho luxury of a bath room, but
n. tin basin Is ntways in the reach of
all, and with only two quarts of cold
water and a common crash towel such
a scrubbing down can be given that
will equal tho finest bath. Try this
now, and keep It up frequently, and
th'o cold weather won't be noticed when
It begins to come In.
Tho hygienic systematic care of tho
feet will do moro to relievo the suffer
er from afflictions of the feet than
any eccentricity In the wny of foot
wear. Tho feet should bo systemati
cally bathed as often as aro the hands;
and a dally footbath Is essential to the
health of the members. When tho feet
are apt to swell (which Is due to a
weakness In tho general health), a hot
footbath at night Is desirable; In this
a few tnblespoonfuls of salt should be
dissolved. This prevents tho enervat
ing effects that come from tho fre
quent uso of the hot bath. Tho dally
footbath should be simply warmed
enough to take the chill oft thei water.
Thu feet should be thoroughly dried
after bathing them with a soft absorb
ent towel, then rubbed vigorously with
a rough friction towel. A spirit bath
Is excellent to eep tho feet In good
condition. After bnthlng them rub tho
soles and between the toes with a little
alcohol, which may be perfumed with
a small quantity of lavender or violet
water or cologne to make It more agree
able. A systematic bathing of the feet,
putting on fresh stockings or freshly
aired stockings each day, allowing the
shoes to rest and air at least 24 hours
after wearing before they aro worn
again all this conduces to the health
of the members. There Is scarcely
nnythlng that is so restful after a
fatiguing walk or household employ
ment as a footbath, followed uy a
change of stockings and shoes. It Is
nstonlshlng to one who has never tried
this simple mothod of treating the feet

Health is a matter of a little patch here
and there. Look after the little ailments
and the big ailments will take care of them
selves. Thev will never come. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical DiscovtTy keeps the body
in perfect health. It promptly eradicates
the little ailments that bring serious illness.
If the serious malady has already arrived it
promptly cures it by removing the cause.
It corrects all disorders of the digestion,
invigorates the liver and makes the appe
tite keen and hearty. It makes the assimi
lation of food perfect and supplies the blood
with the life-giving elements that build new
and healthy tissue and firm muscles. It
tones and builds up the nerves. It drives
impurities and disease -germs from every
organ of the body. It cures all diseases due
to overwork and worry and faulty nutrit
tion. It is an unfailing remedy for weak
lungs, spitting of blood, shortness of breath,
severe cough, bronchitis, asthma and kin
dred affections. It cures 98 per cent, of all
cases of consumption.
Mr. Isaac It. Downs, of Spring Valley, Rock

Medical Discovery I had wasted away to a skele

the signs and realities of returning health slowly
but surely developed themselves while taking the
