If the spirit of the lejjsnd be not dead. It will one day Invent n nineteenth century centaur, half man and half wheel. Lawrence Bierly and Hmvnrd Lynde" moved side by side In the manner of bosom friends or bitter cnmloss. "W'ficrt the passion of hatred attali.n a certain Intensity, It habitually assuipes the mask of Its opposite. It is only the petty spltd that dares to co abroad iiiidl'sulsed. I'.-.ch wheclmai had a stions motive thS: .cvwlliiB, for liurrylntr to North ton'antl.for rcKrettinK the presence of tlfe other. Their destination was an L. A. W. fete at the homo of the lady of their conjthon hope. The rivals were sliiRitlarly alike In nianya-especta. It could not be said vhleltMwa tli( taller, or which stood higher In Mable Stevens' estimation: Moreover, both carried their cyclomet ers aE tlfe"loft of the hub. This ap parently .Jnslgnlllcant circumstance lfiui a.liearlnR upon events which war .Fnnts Its .Insertion here. jytllorly, ; for, the first few nilles, was SfU-Ylie' feYtot 'his companion. In such a position, a collision would have threatened his lantern. By 'dropping a dozen rods behind, the hazard was 'transferred to the cyclometers, but cir cumstances may rcndci' them doubly precious. j The. movement was not only pruden tial, but well-timed, for no sooner hnd It lieAl"made than an accident occur jii; A veil sllBht deviation from a straight line will cause two vehicles ,wjt)lch ,ar driven nbreast, to collide. Ah impel ceptlble turn of a handlo bnf and there was a sound of breaking. "Nobody hurt," laughed Lydne. ns they recovered their balance without falling, "but your cyclometer Is smash ed." "That doesn't matter," responded the other, "it Is too bad, though, about your lamp' Lynde then discovered that his light was out, and Investigation showed that the lens and side glasses were In splint ers. An Insurance agent could not have regarded a fire more ruefully than trie owner regarded the wreck. lie was already within the jurisdiction of strict city ordinances, as was evinced by the sputtering of luminous electrici ty. When In silence the. Journey was re sumed, a small yellowish spot ' could be seen In the dlstnnce. The spot dis entangled Itself gradually from the darkness and nnnounced Itself ns an oil Ilame between a bull's eye and a reflector. "Hold on there. "Where is your light?" came In gruff tones from the proprietor of the spot, who was evi dently nn otllcer. The civilians shot forward without a word. It was as If they had been aimed. The policeman proved himself a good wheelman, and gave chase". Instinctively the fugitives adhered to their original direction. When they came to Miss Stevens' residence, the law-observer quietly dismounted, leav ing the race to Fate. That evening was not a social success In the opinion of the young hostess. She appeared moro absent minded than usual. The wistful expression of her eyes was not customory. After a series of manoeuvers worthy of a Napoleon. Bierly brought about a tete-a-tete upon the porch. To his de light, he discovered that the girl was listening with unprecedented patience to his compliments. The golden mo ment must be seized before It suffered the base alloy of a third person. "MabeJ," he whispered, in a voice scarcely audible, "this is a long-sought opportunity." The speaker paused In a manner familiar to lovers, who look for signals before venturing upon the unknown. Etiquette demands that an unlucky suitor bo warned In time to avert the humiliation of a refusal. Encouraged by a tacit consent, the monologue continued. "You can make me the happiest of men," "How?" The syllable seemed nn un qualified, invltntlon to proceed, to ears that missed Its automatic quality. "By saying 'yes' to my question." ''But you have asked nothing." He cursed his tongue for failing to keep pace with thought, and said: "It Is because I am going to ask everything. Do you " a crash broke off the sentence. The noise Im mediately brought spectators. In try ing to lessen the distunee between hlm pelf and the object of his affections, the wooer had shoved u palm fioni tho rail. Willi these hours were passing, Lynde was having troubles of his own. When left in Jeopardy by his compan ion, a monstrous thought slipped Its leash. How came it that upon a road ns level as a pool table, the handlebar of a past-master of the art of bicycling should -so unaccountably swerve? His ...own mnchlnp had remained ns truo to its course as If It had been guided by a lulcr. '" "Th" details, of the event arranged themselves stubbornly Into an appear '"ance.'of foul play. Thought 'exerts a baneful Influence upon- the human body, and produces, -among other evils, a relaxation of the muscles. "'"' A' hand upon his 3houlder nroised . Lynde. Further resistance was useless, so he allowed himself to be led away under' arrest. His chief objection to -sleeping in a cell was that thereby a coveted Interview must be lost. v ' Shftrtly after midnight, an Individual s.ttm!&m.&ift w rG66dBye friv. l jDyspepsia! i -' j il 'TKZjA. 3 " nnl KitAaHiiA f -..if.t -.. ....., . junuun, uiDiiuuiumiug uuuscwiven iivijiu mru, mat I impure ana unhealthful packing-house product, and use that pure I vegetable ahorteninc.

He Inquired for the where abouts of an acquaintance, nnd discov ering a friend in the head tot the de partment, secured his release. . The liberated prisoner did, not appear ns grateful to his 'benefactor as might have been expected, but Good Samar itans are doubtless used to Ingratitudi. Whatever cot dlallty was wanting in the behavior of the one was amply made up, however, by the exuberant gayety of the other. "You nro as fine as silk tonight," muttered Lynde, In a temper that coun tenanced sarcasm and slang. "That to a fact, and I'll bet I can sur prise you." "Hov7" "The very question JIable put to me." The angry curiosity "of the listener permitted Itself no cxpicsslon. After an appropriate pause for the word of Interest that came not. Bierly continu ed: "To tell th truth, I nm as good as engaged." "To whom?" "Oh. say, Howard, don't nsk a fellow tn spell things for you. Where In your imagination or memory, for that mat ter? 1 hope you wish ine joy." The tone of triumph was offensively evident in these sentences. "I wish you good morning." Lynda turned down a side street of his natlvo city which they had now reached. He caught u mocking laugh from behind. The next nfternoon Mabel received a letter, but being in, a hurry to, dispatch nn errand, she thrust It unopened, Into her halt. The next moment found her spinning over the identical tow-path of the previous scene. She rode rap Idly for a woman, and soon came up to a dejected Individual who was pedal ing In an aimless fashion, which be tokened no goil. The two were within speaking distance betoro mutual recog nition. . "Why, Howard, I didn't know it was you." "Good afternoon, Miss Stevens," came stlflly from the wheel. The effect of an unexpected slight has often been likened to a blow, perhaps because It b'rlngs the blood to the iice. Her retort was an Icicle. "I hepe Mr. Lyndo will pardon my familiarity." Tnless Mr. Bierly objects, there is no harm done." The girl stared In blank amazement. "1 don't know what you mean," she stammered. "Xou seem to have forgotten lost night, and sundry previous alfalrs which made It a sin prise to me." "I only remember that you stayed away from my bicycle p'lity," "Perhaps If you know why 1 didn't come, you would not feel so happy," "You are, eUde-ulv, inclined to add very little to my happiness at present. ' Tears of vexation stood on the brink of her eyes as the spoke and roie for ward. He watched her without deigning to Increase his snail's pace. The grow ing Interval of material separation be came emblematical of the severance of thplr souls. The discerning person cannot havo fulled to notice that events progress In spite of Incidents. If a grindstone Is to burst, there Is no use in pronouncing it unsafe nnd ordering It stopped. Be very sure that the catastrophe will oc cur before the steam can be turned off. There was once a patriot who cele brated Independence day by exploding a hundred cartridges in a heavy iron box. When the last fuse had been lighted, he took the unusual precaution of stepping behind a tree, several yards distant. In vain! The box, after re sisting ninety-nine- concussions, burst into a score of pieces; one of which, striking the tree In a tangent nnd pro ceeding in a curve, killed him as If by miracle. Thus, if It Is written that a mat and a woman shall come together at a cer tain time and place, It Is futile to con trive barriers. Mabel had not cone far when she thought of th? Mter. In looking to see If It was still safe In her belt, she nec essarily took her eyes from the road. Immediately there was a sharp re port, not unlike thai which accompan ies the uncoupling of air-brakes. The soft rubber tire had received a wound which let cut the pneumatic cuehlon as a writ of habeas corpus lets out the prisoner. This puncture was the work of certain hits of glass, which the mal ice of Bierly had broken from a btcvele lamp. The veiy thing that should have prevented a meeting between his sweetheart and his too was about to bring them togsthsr. Malignity Is a boomerang. Those who Journey without a mend ing kit nre sometimes compelled to halt until the appenranco of another and more provident wheelman. The young lady sat for a long time at the wayside, ruminating upon the strange conduct of the dejected indiv idual, and endeavoring to account for it. She remembered with chagrin, that Lynds had been continually in her thoughts during the party. Embitter ed by his absence, it had passed like an unpleasant dream. As to the part in which Bierly had figured, that was nearly forgotten. It msver entered her head that he considered himself her ac cepted lover. True,, ho had adopted a somewhat sentimental strain when chance left them alone, and but for the disturbed equilibrium of a (lower pot, might have said onrnethlng foolish. There was nothing In the memory, however, to mltlsate the surptlse of the following letter, which she now read "My Darling: I could hardly believe In my good fortune, were not every par ticular of our last meeting photograph ed upon my heart. How clumsy of mo is . a . r 3gii to upset that plant, but fortunately, you havo already listened to words Im possible to misunderstand. You have long known that I lov;a you. Dare I put tho only obvious construction upon your complacency? I will bo In North ton, tomorrow, or rather, today. It is already morning, fcr I had to ttop and get that fellow Lyndo out of jail, where ho landed himself "by riding without a lantern. Yours as ever, "Lawrence." This epistle had tho effect of Gor gon's curls, nave that it enlightened ns well as petrllled. A shadow flitted by, stopped and re turned. Lyndo was about to pass, when he saw the deflated tire. With out a word ho produced n roll of adhe sive tape, but before ho could apply It, wan Interrupted by a question. "Why did you ride without a lantern last night?" "I didn't. You see, I carrv one yet." Tho other glanced nl ths broken illu minator and then at tho mischievous piece of glass in tho path. After u pause she asked' "How came you to break it, then?" "I cannot tell." t "But you can and must. I havo heard a story which Is evidently false, and will know the truth." "Well, then, your fiance ran Into me." "I have no fiance." "But Mr. Bierly told me " "Mr Bierly was mistaken." An hour Inter, Mabel's correspondent bowled along the path toward North ton. In tho dlstnnce he saw two lovers In an attitude of affection. BOOKS AND MAGAZINES. Hall Calno's latest and, according to some, his greatest nool, "Tho Chrlatlun," has been Issued by tho Appletons. It Is keyed In tho strenuous style for whtcn this writer Is noted and it has a large measure of the clomentals In human pas sion, pathos und suffering. Tho central theme concerns the struggle of -a good man whose naturo aspires on its eplrltual side to higher levels to rescue a woman from Influences that tended to drag her downwurd. In Hall Calne's hand such a theme Is worked out with a vividness and power not paralleled by any other mort em writer, and tho result Is a book that as soon as Its largo merits filter through the public consciousness will bo much read and much moro talked about. We leservo tho right to recur to this wo.-k ngain, under more favorablo opportun ity. In tho meantime It deserves to bo said that this is In all probability the book of the year, which all must read who would keep abreast of the times. o When reverses In a business career sent Chauncey C. Hotehklss Into letters for a livelihood fate did a good turn for those readers who want fiction full of spirit and Hie. "In Dellanco of tho King" showed tho "prentice hand but "A Colonial l'ree Lance," now Issued by the Appletons, avoids Its predecessor's prolixity and runs the gamut of heroism, udventuro nnd hair-breadth escapes in a manner that even Cooper would have envied. It. nlso. Is a tale of the Revolution, with a historic ilguro in Sir Henry Clinton, whom It paints rather conspicuously; and, as In the first of Mr. Hotehklss' stories, much of tho action takes place aboard ship, giving opportunity for soma graphic marine tints. But the great charm of "A Colonlul Free-Lance" Is Its slap, bang and dash; you never wink nn eye lash until the end is reached an end, too, happy enough to suit the most fastidious. o Another of F. Schuyler Mathows' In teresting books on natural history is is sued by tho Appletons, under the title, "Familiar Features of tho Roadside," a tltlo which affords a good Idea of tho book's contents. Professor Mathows In this work endortakes to point out some of tho beauties and wopders of Mother Nature which most of us 'wholly overlook although they nre continually and directly beforo our eyes. Tho commonest llower3 and shrubs and bugs and birds that clot tho highway present under his glass fea tures of Interest not recognized betore and It will be strange If the dullest boy or girl, after reading this charming book, shall not feel a now bon.l of sympathy for naturo and a new sense of nmazo ment at tho Infinitude of the Creator's handiwork. o Allusion has been made editorially to one of the chief papers In the August Forum Senator Hoar's oompailson of English with American statesmanship. Among other features worthy of noto may be mention a paper by Dr. Lyman Ab bott on "The Growth of Religious Toler ance In the United States"; one by Sena tor White giving reasons against Ha waiian annexation; one by Professor Blackmar on Berlin's municipal govern ment: one on "The Future of the Rel Man" by an Indian chief, Simon I'o kagon; one by Professor Hopkins on tho situation in India and one by CommanJer Booth-Tucker concerning his plan to found farm colonies for tho urban poor. Few recent numbers of this review havo been so interesting. o Gunton's magazlno for August takes up the "money question," that Is to say the currency reform Issuo, and presents reasons why It must be tho next thing to bo settled In this country. Gunton's is not always convincing In Its arguments but It Is never dull. o Wheelmen who want to read several capital short stories constructed with a view to exploiting the bicycle should read the August Homo magazine. o Tho IlCime Doctor Is tho namo of a now monthly published at 128 Wnite street. New YorV, at 10 cents per copy or $1.00 a year. It compriKs each month 40 pagc3 of well-edited and well-classlrled Informa tion concerning home hygiene and other subjects l Mating to healthful living. o Money, tho non-partisan monthly devot ed to a discussion of tho currency ques tion, prints in its August number an In structive dfbato on bank credits ns a' money substitute, between Ben S. Dean for tho free! silver sldo and Maurlco L. Muhleman representing the gold stand ard side. M(ney in a valuablo Instructor on the subjects falling within Its scope. , o Something Of tho character ot a Journal of current events has been lent to Chap. Book siuco It began to discuss political topics In Its Notes. It does this with a t.tyle which lernys study even when Its opinions (which Incline to bo Mugwump Ish) provoke dii.?ent. Chap-Book may be described as a frrtnlghtly tandwlch, con sisting of notes ard book reviews with more or less interesting miscellany stuffed between. comii:titivk uaimvav hates. From Leslie's Weekly. It Is poor economy and a bad thing for the public when any great business Is conducted at a'loss. On general prlnci pics It Is a demoralizing condition of af fairs when any property or service can be obtained for less than its real valuo, Tho laborer Is not only worthy of his hire, but his wages should bo such as to pay him fairly for tho work done. And so also It Is a bad thing for any form of property to sell for less than a fair cost. When sorvlces and property bring less than their value, then thero Is a do ptess;d business condition and everybody suffers. It, is particularly true that large cor porations to which the publto has grant ed, privileges because of tho general ud vr.ntagcs to bo returned to tho publio through the business of tlieso corpora tions exert n most harmful influence when they serve tho public at less than cost. Tho Influence is most demoraliz ing, and Is felt alike by tho sharehold ers of the corporations and tho patrons of them. When railroads do business of this nature it In because of a war of rates, because of an tndlscrcot competi tion, nnd sometimes becauso tho olllcers are lntemperato In nn lll-dlrccted zeal. Competition, when It leads to such re sults is, therefore, baneful; hut compe tition Is, nover'heless, the only safeguard against unfair exactions, and, therefore, the suppression of competition Is direct ly opposed to the publio Interest. THE CASH VALUE OF A MAN'S LIFE According to Railroad, Insurance and Supreme Court Ideas. COST TO RAILWAYS OF ACCIDENTS Fully 93,000,000 u Yonr I'niil In Hctllcmont or Dnmngo Sults--Tho Dcnd I'nsscncur Chonpor ns it Itulo Tlmn tho Ono Who Is Ilndly Muti lated. The statement that every man has his prlco Is badly behind the times, In tho opinion of the Washington Star. It is in great need of remodeling, to suit the Ideas and customs ot the pres ent. It should read: "Every man has several prices," for he possesses, as a noted humorist has sal J, "s2veral, If not more." There is his own price, the prlco at which ho values himself; the prlco at which others value him; the prlco In surance companies put him on, and thu price of tho Supreme court holds is sulllclent for any human being In gen oral, and the man In question In partic ular. The man's valuation of himself is a variable quantity, which Jumps up nnd down In such erratic Btyle that It must needs be lelt out. The valuation cf railroads Is the poorest. Next to a general who has an Important battle to win the railroads of tho country sacrifice lives at the smallest possible cost, yet this cost has orlveu several roads Into bankruptcy. Coal mining Is considered by many to bo exceedingly dangerous to human llf?, yet the ag gregate of human beings killed on tho railroads far exceeds those lost under ground. Several ot the eastern and western states have on their statute books n law which once prevailed In Pennsyl vania, rating human life as worth nt tho outside $3,000. Railroad companies coming under their Jurisdiction cannot be compelled to pay moro than, that sum for any life through the careless ness and negligence of their manage ment. Tho person killed may be the father cf a large family, and his In dustry and nblllty may earn for the subport of that family twice or trice $i,W) ymrly, yet if that man Is killed through the culpable mismanagement of a railroad, the company Is quits by a single $5,000 payment, and the or rhancd little ones must look elsewhere for th'i support and substlnence thus withdrawn. DEATH IP CHEAPER. If the pass2nger Is mutilated, but not quite killed, the railroad company on whose road he was Injured may be compelletl to pay any sum not obvious ly unreasonable that a Jury may assess. It often hapnens that In case of acci dent It Is for the Interest of the railroad cempany that tho Injured passengers die, thereby limiting the company's lia bility to $3,000 in each case, rather than that they should recover sufficiently to sue for damages and be awarded perhaps a much larger sum. The bigger toads have sinking funds for just such emergencies, but tho smaller roads generally have such a struggle to meet fixed charges that a reserve fund is not to be thought of. The amount of money paid In settle ment of damage suits by American railroads cannot be computed with any posltlveness, because It varies consid erably from year to year. When roads are In good condition, accidents Involv ing loss of life or seriDus bodily Injury are rare; when roads are In poor con dition, such' accidents are frequent. The large systems of the country spend on n average In the settlement of damage Lulls about $150,000 each, and tho small er railway companies bring up. probab ly, the total amount paid to about $3,000,000 In all. Although the American railroads car ry collectively In a year 600,000,000 pass engers, the- numbar of fatal accidents average about 300, n.id of Injuries to passengers about 3,000, or one killed for every 2,000,000 carried, and one Injured for every 200,000. A NOBLE WELSHMAN. Rev. James Hughes, of Klmberley, South Africa, writes us, saying: "It was my pleasure last week to visit Toronto, Buffalo and the Niagara Falls In company with Mr. Jnmes A.

There nro several ways by which wall paper can be cleaned so that it looks nlmost ns good ns new. Take a loaf of bread, stale, but not too hard, nnd cut off ono crust; then, taking it In ono hand, tub tho paper gently with tho exposed surface. When the bread looks soiled, cut off a very thin Bllce and proceed with tho work. It Is best to rub up and down on tho paper, and elcan ench place thoroughly before leaving It. Another way Is to take a loaf of bread, and, after removing tho ctust, soak It in cloudy household am monia. It must be so wet that ono can work it In tho hands Into a ball. Hub the paper lightly with It, and' ns tho ball becomes soiled on the outside, knead It until n clean surface Is exposed. This will remove the dirt nnd smoke nnd freshen up the paper wonderfully. An other plan Is to make a soft dough ot coarse brown Hour mixed with water: It should be stiff enough to handle eas ily. The paper can be rubbed with It ns In the former method. When there nro grease spots on tho paper, lay coarse brown paper over them, nnd pass n hot iron over it. Fresh paper may be needed several times If th spot Is large. When there are spots from which tho color lias been removed, they can be made to look as good as new by the use ot water-color paints. The. design should be traced llrst, and the filling then put In with the paints.
