THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-THURSDAY MORNING-, MAY 20. 1897; 5 Cbe Rome un,e CONVEX5 --By C FRANCIS MARY tCopywrlsht, 1S97, by SYNOPSIS. Major Harrington Is afraid that ho must loso his old home, "Scarlet Oaks," whero ho lives with his niece, Bsthor, lor the mortKaco la duo, and tho now from his foreign Investments Is such that ho can not prevent foreclosure. I'nul Uronson la on hand In thn Interest of tho Trust com pany that holds tho mortgage. Paul In nn nrdent bicyclist, and ho has fallen In lovo with KMthcr. He has taught Esther to Tldo, on the sly, because her uncle Is vio lently opposed to tho sport. Esther Is unxloua to overcome this prejudlco and to get her undo to look with fnvor upon Paul. She gets her undo to take her to nee tho finish of tho Mllllngton-Irvlns road race, the courso of whoh Is near their home. Tho major is affected by tho ex cltlmr event, and Is much astonished to eee Paul come in tho winner. Ho cannot share Esther's enthusiasm, howover, nnd goes homo moro disgusted than pleased with the whole affair. The next morning Paul is riding nlono nnd overtakes u horseman. They race. Tho horso stum bles and lames himself badly. Tho horse man Is alarmed, for ho Is In hasto to de liver an Important message. Paul offers to carry It to Its destination. It proves to bo a cablegram ft. Major Harrington. It Is tho day on which Scarlet Oaks is to bo eold, and when Paul brings It to tho do Bpondent owner ho finds that ho has been tho bearer of good news. A turn of for tune saved Scarlet Oaks to Its owner. Tho major appreciates tho fact that the bicy cle has been tho messenger of good tid ings, and Paul is heartily welcomed to breakfast. TAHT in. "Yes; a lot of scoundrels, altogether, I should say." Tho major tipped back In his ejinlr anil looked qulzzliisly at Paul and Esther. Tlipy were nil In tho drawing room after dinner. Tho excltlnp day at Scar let Oaks had terminated happily for all. So much had there been to talk about nnd arrange that they had met for tho fir&t time with any sensa of leisure. "As scoundrelly a plot as I ever knew of," proceeded tho major. "How long have you been riding tho wheel, Es IhdrV" "Ever since- last fall," said Esther. "Just think, twenty-four hours ngo I wouldn't have dared admit that to you." "H'm," said tho major. "I suppose that very likely now you two think I'll let you have a 'bicycle wedding,' with tho parson In knickerbockers, after tho most npproved modern fashion, eh'.' And perhaps you think I'll add to tho mirth of tho occasion by wearing a sweater and a golf cap?" "Well, we may let you off from thnt," said Paul, ' but I'll be willing to guar antee that you youuelf will be riding the wheel within a month." The major roared. "Ah, that's a good one Just like all the rest of the cycling fraternity," said lie, retiring. "The fact Is, we owe every bit of our luck to the breaking down of the mes senger this morning," said Paul, after certain demonstiatlona not In words. "It strikes me that it Is due to the fact that you were there on your wheel," said Esther, meekly. "Or that wo raced in the first place. Say Esther, I hope ou'll always wc.ir your hair that way no matter how tlu fusnlon changes, will you'.'" "I will wear It tills way as long as I live." "At least as long as I do," corrected Paul. "I hope the other fellow won't have the time I had this morning get ting you from the major. I know li. held out for awhile to mo after he had really given In, but of course I couldn't let on and he guve mo a pretty tough time, I tell you.

"What'n a funny thins?" demanded Esther. "Do you know that you have n way of a.vylng things that arc apropos of nothing in particular." "Well this is. The funny thing is that women always have to be told tho same thing over and over before they know It, when n. man knows It tho first tlmo ho's told." There was a sudden, sharp crunching of tho gravel outside of the window. Paul stepied to It and cautiously drow the curtain a little. Turning, ho beck oned to Esther. "Cnmo here nnd look at this," he said, laughing. The major, mounted on Paul's wheel, attended by tho faithful James, was Swac" THE CONQUERED HERO LAY gallantly struggling with it on tho smooth, white drive by the clear, late moonlight. "Egad, James," he puffed, "If I don't believe I've almost g"ot tho hang of the devilish thing now. You may let go of me, James, in a minute; no, not just yet. Oh, III teach both of those younsr rascals a trick or two and show th'oni I'm not too old to come up with their modern athletics. By Jove! Jame3, I think it's a pretty good scheme for me to surprise them this way, don't you? Hold nn, there; I'm nearly off.' "Oh, what a sweet revengo Is this," whispered Paul to Esther. "All I want In to seo him get one good fall. Look at him, Esther." The two were convulsed 'vlth mirth. "Dear uncle," said Esther. "This Is the first time I ever saw him without his dignity. This Is Just like him; he i.ever gould give in to anything." "Its a ilrst-rato plan, sir," James was saying. "Don't rest so much weight on the handle bars, sir. I re member when Jlr. Paul was teaching Miss Esther to ride" "Yes, you villian, you were in that plot, too." "Yea, sir, certainly. As I was say ing, we nil thought it was quite clev er for Miss Esther to learn to rldo without your knowing it, and Mr. Paul said could you keep both of your feet on tho pedals, sir; that's better ho said that he'd like to get you on a wheel Just once and ho'd make you wish you knew what you were talking about." The major came within a hair's breadth of toppling over, but his long training In the saddle and his natural confidence of poise stood him In good stead, and ho righted himself in a Hash. In the bay window Paul and Esther choked with delight. " Ton my soul, If I don't believe he'll learn In ono lesson," said Paul. "Look at him; he sticks to It like a cowboy to a bucking broncho." Esther, I can't stand this any longer, I've got to go down and help him." "Not yet." said Esther. "Let's see what may happen to him presently. I haven't forgotten my own experience yet." of his rival In 1701, with the first cattle "You may let go of me in a min ute, James, In a minute. I'm getting It down pretty fine now. Great Scott, If I ever thought I'd come to this after living on horseback half of my life. Think of getting Esther to hood wink me tho first tlmo she ever did In her life and you lying to me like a Turk nil the tlmo In the bargain." "Certninly, sir; you see I was very fond of tho wheel nor-df, nnd Mr. Paul was too, nnd being ns he and Miss Es ther were very fond of each other" Rome strange sound broke upon tho still night air. Tho major would havo fallen had not tho faithful James held him. "I could swear I heard somo one laugh," said the major. "For goodness' sake, be careful," paid Esther. "I don't want him to see us ilrfit." "I Bhall die If I watch this much longer," replied Paul; "No, sir," said James; "it's quite im possible, sir. Now, you're doing so well, would you llk to try a llttlo by your self" "Yes. of courso," replied the major, "but If er er, If I should think I was going to fall, what shall I do?" "I won't lot you fall, sir, and all you have to do ia to lean in tho name direc tion with your wheel and It will right Itself. Shall I let go, sir? You can take It all right now," "Prepare for tho worst," whispered Paul. f If 'rTiT'lf'JI --H8,(2A VZ -"!? "If he- falls I slrttll simply shriek," snld Esther. "Yes, yes." the major was saylnp. "Kr, vlmt do you do when ono of theso Infernal pedals yta away from your foot all tho tlmo?" "Catch It 03 It comes up, sir; that's the way that was neat. Now, Just keep on pedaling and don't bo afraid." Unlucky admonition. The devoted James had In a moment of flbsont-nilndcdncss used a wonl which even tho terror of tho wheel could not reconcile to an old soldier. "Afraid," ho snorted, In a sudden burst of confidence. "Well, I've stood before cannon, nnd If I'm afraid of a bicycle Let go, James." Three seconds later 'tho bravo hut conquered hero lay looking up at the stars. Tho bay window was thrown open nnd Paul and Esther, laughing help lessly, stood revealed In tha moonlight; on the velvety sward tho major, too much astonished to rise, lay as though petrified; James, his forward move ment arrested ns though by magic, halted in an zement. For one mo ment tho group stood thus In tho moon light, nnd then, with one simultaneous Impulse, everyone burst Into roars and peals of laughter that echoed frr and wide tho spell was broken, and even ns Paul asslted the major to rise, ho wiped away tears of mirth. "Uncle," gasped Esther, leaning ngalnst the trlllls for support, "do you think you over oucht to mount any thing thnt hasn't an Intelligence of its own?" I beg your pardon, sir," said James, recovering himself with difficulty. "You made such a sudden start that I" "You beat us all," said Paul. "If I could" Y i"'pt ' LOO'.IN v UP AT THE STARS. The major drew himself up and care fully brushed one knee. "Thank you all kindly. Let's go Into the house and have something. Esther, I am converted to cycling but not to sarcasm. Come, my dear, and you, my boy; I will forgive you both everything, for had It not been for tho good otllces of the wheel Scarlet Oaks would not be ours tonight. I'll finish up this lesson tomorrow." THE END. Rheumatism Cured in n Day. "MYSTIC CURE" for Rheumatism and Neuralgia radically cures In 1 to 3 days. Its nction upon the system Is remarkable and mysterious.

"yes," said tho great author, when tho question was put to him, "I do practically all my work on tho typewriter, I find It a great help." "But can you composo ns well with tho machine as with a pen?" inquired tho in terviewer, "Quito as well, and tho execution is much better." "Didn't it Intcrfcro very materially with your literary work when you wore learn ing to use it?" persisted the Interviewer, "Not at all," answered the great au thor.

Chicago Post, The wise doctor when he is called in to attend a pain tortured woman, knows that she could avoid the ag. onv flint clir endures by taking proper care of her wo manly.Belf. No woman can long retain her general health who neglects the health of the organs that constitute her womanhood. She may suffer only locally for a time. Eventually the nerves are ruine'd by the constant wear and tear of pain. They cease to impart the necessary nervous activity to the various organs of the body. A general and serious break-down follows. A wonderful medicine for weak, nervous women, who through local troubles are threatened with a general break-down is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It acts directly on the delicate organs that are dis tinctly feminine. It restores them to vigor and health. It allays Inflammation and soothes pain. It gives the tortured nerves a rest and permits thera to resume their natural function of directing a healthy ac tivity of all the organs. It prepares a wo. man for wifehood and motherhood. It makes baby's advent easy and almost pain, less and insures the child's health. It is the best woman's medicine and more than qo.ooo women have said so over their signa tures. Druggists sell it "I cannot say too much for Dr. Tierce's Favor ite Prescription," writes MIm Clara Dalrd, of Jlrldgeport, Montgomery Co.. ra. " I fetl It my duty to say to all women who may be sufTerliiR from any weakness or disease of the distinctly feminine organism that it Is the best medicine on earth for Ultra to use. I cannot praise it too highly for the good it did me.
