THE SCRANTON TRIBUJSJi-SATUJRDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1890. tru 3 J? g A Perfect Gentleman g T WAS the stifling ot spring, the tendencj it foMilon nnd the ghost of n sneer drove him to lo quite the most dreadful type of Houn dcr, with n machine with n loose mud guard and a speckled bell; ho had a It. More particularly the ghost ' very dirty suit of C. T. C. Bray, nnd u of n sneer. It wns the tragedy 'of his life that ho udiuiii'il hut. nnd he struggled nsnlnut her In vain Hlic was frankly antipa thetic. You 'might have called her anything before you would have called her chic at times lip had to admit that she was to tell the dieadful tiuth "robust." Moi cover, the most exqui site epigrams, the prettiest turns of wit, would often as not slniDly make her stare and laugh only too evident ly at him And yet when the healthy Philistine schoolgirl nsked him. "Do you ever venture beyond the park. Mr. Crampton'" it sulllced. He told his mother plainly his honor was Involved. And an Irreverent porter saw him, al ready heated, wheeling his machine upstairs from the Sutton platform, nnd there are few things less adapted to go upstairs with nny pretence to grace, on Ills way to llilghton and her. His machine, like himself, was a lit tle overdressed we nie far from a Bound criticism of bicycles chocolate enamelled it was, with translucent mudguards nnd the daintiest whlto handles, and the gear case was of fil my celluloid, with a sort of metal dab like a medal upon it. Ho wore a cocked hat or at least one of those brown fell hats that ought to be called cocked hats, whatever the proper name for them may be nnd to distinguish himself from the common cycling cad, among other reasons, he wore trousers The brown of his clothing was npt to his machine, nnd his tie white nnd pretty. And when the vulgnr cnbmatt outside Sutton Station called "New Woman" after him he pretended not to hear, and went on mounting his machine all across the road. He was quite a sight to see riding up the road toward Belmont, and the sun was so struck by his spick-and-span appear nnce that he picked out every line ot enamel and metal on him and dazzled the passeiby therewith. "Something like n thing to shine on!" said the sun. "Juet look at this!" and "Did you ever?" In the excess of his admiration. He had begun his. ride from London to Brighton at Sutton which was gen erous treatment for London In the geo graphical sense Ills mother he was her only son hnd gone to Brighton by train The Tentons were there also, and tbe Juxtaposition had its quality of design. Ills mother had devoted her life to him: she held that he was deli cate, and knowing the drcndfulness of public schools, almost as well as Oscar Browning, had kept him by her under n progressive series of amenable tutors making u perfect gentleman of him according to her lights. And Madge Fonton. with her linlf share in Fen ton's Safe Cure, was just the fit mate for the sole proprietor of Crampton's meat Juice It wns quite n mother's plan U. marry her .on and yet keep him in the family. And certainly ho appreciated Madge, though her atti tude was a little doubtful. Yet the fetendy pressure of her elders was bound to win In the long run, and she wus a good girl as times go. The mad from Sutton to Burgh Heath looks llko any other road on a map. But unlike the generality of roads known to Mr. Crampton it per sistently went up hill. It wns already going up hill at Sutton Station, undt it went on pretty steeply for a space, but with nn air of Its being a last effort. Then round u. bend came n view of a huge i nil usi rial home nnd nnother Inst effort Then u clear Interval, even down hill, to Belmont station, then It started off again fresh as a daisy. It went up hill visibly for a mile to Ban stend 'station, nnd then mnsked by trees it continued to go up hill. Mr. Crampton was surprised, but the day was young and his man had oiled and ndjusted his machine to a nicety. So ho stuck to it riding steady, anil swinging a cigarette in the disengaged hand, I'ntll recently n Bounder, with a mnchlne that went clank, became audible behind him. To Mr Crampton the idea of being overhauled by a member of the lower classes was distasteful, and relying on the clank and the excellence of his machine he threw nway the cigarette nnd quickened his ;iaee. Thereupon tho Bounder rang his bell it wus a beast of a cheap bell and the clanking grew more frequent nnd louder, until It was close behind Mr. Crampton. Af ter a sharp snurt Mr. Crampton decld 'd that he would not race nfter all, and the Bounder drew alongside. lie was X ii f v v t&i a , r .BJVfia' K"v VWpy ISA?

And ho had the check to, apeak to Mr. Ci amp ton l Tretty Jigger," said the Bounder. Mr. Crampton was bo stnitled, ho wobbled nnd nlmost collided. "I beg your pardon," ho said, In a repressive tone. "Nice looking mnchlne you'vu cot." Mr. Crampton was quite nt a loss for words. But he was determined to shut the fellow up promptly. "I'm afraid I cunnbt say the same of yours," he said at length. "No, It isn't up to much," said the Bounder, cheerfully. "Are you going far? Because If so" Two Girls (possibly Nice Girls) np peared riding down toward them. They might think that he and tho Bounder were traveling together! "It's no bus iness of yours," said Mr. Crampton, where I'm going." And something In distinct about "damned Impertinence." "Lord!" said tho Bounder. "No of fense." It took him a minute to digest Then he said something over his shoul der to Mr. Crampton that was lost, and putting his head down below his shoul ders, went clanking off at a great pace, his shoulders moving with his feet In a manner entirely despicable. Mr. Crampton rode quite erect, and with only one hand on the handle, to show that he was not racing, until the girls were well past him, nnd then he dismounted. This eternal hill was tiresome, and he did not want to over take the Bounder. Walking, one could notice tho fine growth of green with which the hedges were speckled, nnd tho gum-exuding chestnut buds; and the dead nettles were all In (lower. In fact, It was a pleasant change from tho saddle for a man who was not a scorcher. And at last he camo to Burgh Heath. As this seemed to be a sort of village green, he mounted again. Some wuy along was a little sweetstuff shop, and outside was the Bounder's ma chine. The Bounder was In the door way, with his hands In his pockets, eating. He looked round at Mr. Crampton and Immediately looked away again, with a hollow presence of self-esteem. And away down a hill Mr. Crampton was passed by a tandem bicycle. Ho overtook Its riders, a girl and a man walking the next ascent. They seemed to be father and daughter, tho father a sturdy, red-bearded man with very fat legs, and the daughter decidedly pretty. She was dressed in greenish gray, and had red hair. Mr. Crampton was very glad Indeed that he had got rid of the Bounder forthwith. He had to set his teeth to get up the hill, but of course It was Impossible to , dis mount, and then camo a run down, and then a long gentle slope that was rather trying, with a pretty gltl on a tandem behind, that is, to keep one in tho saddle. Ilelgato Hill came none too soon to give Mr. Crampton a de cent excuse for dismounting. So ho put the machine carefully where It looked well on the turf, and took, out his silver cigarette case, and was In his attitude ready, looking over the clustering town and broad blue Weald, as the tandem couple came walking down the hill. So far the ride had been very Dleasant. After that the Bounder, hot and panting. He came toward the turf as if contemplating a lounge, and his eye caught the chocolate bicycle. He glanced swiftly up at Mr. Crompton, and went lncontently down the hill to ward tho town, visibly discomfited. Mr. Crampton lunched in Belgate. It was in tho afternoon that his adven tures really began as he rode toward Crawley. The morning's ride had told on him, and three gates had the honor of supporting him for leisurely inter vals between Helgate nnd Horley. Cy clists became frequent, and as they went by during his sessions on the gate, he smoked ostentatiously or (af ter he had smoked sufficiently) sketch ed In a little morocco-bound sketch bookjust to show he wns not slmolv resting. And among others a very pretty girl Unshed by unaccompanied. Now, Mr. Crampton, in spite of his regard for Madge, was not averse to dreams of casual romance. And the bicycle In Its earlier phnsei has a pe culiar lnfluonco upon the Imagination. To ride out from the familiar locality. into stranse roads stretching away Into the unknown, to be free to stoo or go on, Irrespective of hour or com panion, inevitably brings the adven turous side uppermost. And Mr. Crampton, descending from his gate and mounting, not two minutes nfter she had passed, presently overtook her near the crossroad to Horley, wheeling her machine. She hnd n chnrmlnglv cut costume, and her hair was a pleasant brown, nnd her ear, ns one camo riding up be hind her. was noticeably pretty. She had punctured the tire of her hlnJ wheel; it ran flat and flaccid the case wns legible a hundred yards off. Now this Is the secret desire of all lone men who go down Into the coiin tiy on wheels. The proffered help, tho eharinlni tnlk. the Irivllle Incident! Who knows what delightful develop ments? So that a great Joy came to Mr. Crampton. He dismounted a little wuy behind her, ndvanced gracefully, proffered the repair outfit In his wallet. Ho had never attempted to repair a the before, and so he felt confident of his ability. Tho young lady wus In clined to be distant at first (which wjs perfectly correct of her), but seeing that It wns four miles to Crawford, and Mr. Crampton u mero boy and evl dently of a superior cluss, she present ly accepted his services. So coming to a convenient grassy plate at the cross road, Mr. Crampton turned the ma chine over on Its saddle nnd hnndles, severely bruising his knee as ho did so, and went quietly and methodically to work, It being then about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and the sun very bright and warm. He talked to her easily. Where had she punctured? She did not quite know, she had only Just noticed that the tire was "all flabby." "A very unpleasant discovery," said Mr. Crampton. "We must see Just pre cisely what Is the matter." "It's very kind of you," she said. "Are you sure you can spare the time?" "I'm merely running down to Brigh ton," he said. "I couldn't think of leaving you in this predicament." Mr. Crampton had, of course, no me chanic's knowledge of bicycle, but ho know the things were very simple. Ho knew ho hnd to remove the tire, and It did not tako him long to discover that In order to remove the tire ho would have to removo tho wheel. How to get tho wheel was a little puzzling at first It was evident the chain would have to como away. That In volved operations with a dress gunrd and a gear case. "It's an Inductive process," said Mr. Crampton, lightly concealing a faint qualm of doubt, and setting to work on the gear case. "They're frightfully complicated things," she said. "These machinery people make them rather stupidly." said Mr. Crampton. "I shouldn't dare take the thing to pieces ns you nro doing." "It's very simple, really." "I think men are always so much cleverer than girls ut this sort of thing." Mr. Crampton did not answer for a second. "You've blackened your fln geis!" she said. It was very nice and friendly of her, but a little distracting. She kept step ping about on the growing circle of nuts, chain, screw-hammer, washers, nnd so forth about Mr. Crampton, nnd mnde mnny bright, Intelligent little re marks that required answering. And she really was pretty. Mr. Crampton still continued to enjoy the Incident In spite of his blackened hands nnd the heat of tho day ad the quite remark able softness of the nuts on her ma chine. "If we nro better nt mnchlne mending and that sort of thing," he said, "you have your consolations." "I don't think so." "But men have emotions." "As girls have bicycles," said Mr. Crampton, with the air of n neat thing mislaying the pin of the chain nnd proceeding to pull out the wheel. The rempval of the tiro was the turning-point of the affair. It simply would not come off the rim. "These detachable!" said Mr. Crampton. 11 had to ask her to pull, nnd the struggle was violent for a moment, nnd a spoke got bent. Then he pinched her finger severely. He knew the operntlon de pended upon n knack, ad ns he was ashamed of not knowing tho knack, he pretended to be doing something else when a man cyclist went by. Three little children came by, and seemed profoundly Interested until Mr. Crampton stopped and stared steadily at them. Then each began edging be hind tho other, nnd so they receded. And n tramp offered Ingenious but Im practicable suggestions, until Mr. Crampton gave him sixpence to take them away. Then camo tho tandem he had seen In the morning, going Lon donward, nnd tho old gentleman in sisted on knowing what was the mat ter. Beastly officious of him! "We can't removo the tire," said the young lady a little needlessly, Crampton thought. "Simple enough," said tho old gen tleman, in abominable taste. It was simple In his hands. In a minute the tire lay detached. "I can manage now, thanks," said Mr. Crampton. rather stilly. "Quite sure?" said tho old gentle man. "Quite." said Mr. Crampton. with a quiet stare, and the old gentleman mounted his mnchlne. For of course Mr. Crampton trusted to the directions on his repair outfit, as any one would. "Thank you very much Indeed," ald the young lady. "No trouble at all," said the old gen tleman, and off he rode. The next misunderstanding was en tirely due to the silly, vague way in which the directions on tho box were given. Really you had to stick the round patch thing on to the puncture, but Mr. Crampton read rather care lessly, nnd first of all cut out a circu lar place In the air ahamber nnd see ing it was not quite round, he cut It a little larger, and so on, until it was a little too big for the patch thing. The young lady had been silent for tho last ten minutes or so, watching Mr. Cramptoryi face, but now she asked suddenly, "Are you sure that Is the light thing to do?" "It says so on the box," said Mr. Crampton, looking up with a smile. "But really I don't see how we aro to manage It quite." "Do you know," said the young lady. "I wanted to be In Crawley by four." It was n little rude of her, but Mr. Crampton looked nt his watch it waa five minutes past four! "Dear mo!" he said, agreeably; "the time has flown." And suddenly he remembered ho was twenty-six miles from Brighton. "I think, do you know," said the young lady, "If you don't mind, I will wheel my machine, after all. It seems such a long job mending. And really. In Crawley the man" "These local fellows aren't always quite reliable. I'm frightfully sorry, you know, not to have got It right just at once, but" "It was very kind of you to try," she said. "Do you know." said Mr. Crnmpton, "even now" For the thing really In terested him. His Idea wns to try 1 piece of paper smeared with solution; but It did not work, and nt quarter past 4 he began putting the machine together, nothing but a neat circular opening cut In the air tube of tho tire to show for his wasted hour. His in terest was fading, and the ghl's man ner was not so nice as it had been. And, curiously enough, the wheel would not go on right, and there was a difficulty about the chain. One or two of the llttlo nut things may have Inst themselves In tho grass, and trivial though they were this compli cated the business. Mr. Crampton was becoming painfully aware that his hands were black and his suffs crum pled. Ho suddenly felt tired and dis gusted nt the whole absurd Incident, and, seeing the growing impatience of tho girl, he hurried tho rebuilding In discreetly, using his wrench as a ham- "I'm afraid not," said Mr. Crampton, rather red In the face, holding the ma chine by saddle nnd handle nnd looking at It In a speculative way.

The eyes of passers by seemed Ironical. llleycles nro odd things. He made It look nil rlKht except the Rear case which he had trodden on, but when ho stood It up, right way up, the chain flapped about on the gear case and the wheel would not bo around. He tried what a little force would do, but It only produced curious clunk ing noises. It was n most disappointing inci dent, and although the girl was Indis putably pretty, curiously devoid of nny real romantic quality. "It doesn't seem right, quite, yet," she said, ly rather a dlfllcult situation, and he was trying to think what to do next. It came of being a gentleman, ot course, nnd chivalrous. Bounders would have ridden by in the first place, without attempting to help. He wnnt ed very badly to .swear, nnd it wni very clear Indeed In his mind that besought to bo riding on. His self-control was admltablA "I'm afraid It's no go," he said, looking up and smiling. She was looking quite stralghtly nt him. There was no appearance of an ger In her manner, but she remarked quietly: "I don't think vou ought to have touched my machine. I'm afraid you know very little about them." Mr. Crampton perceived at once that she was not a lady. All the more reason, he told himself, that he should assert himself a gentle man. "It seems to me," he said, "that I can do very little In this case." "It seems so to me," she said, an noyed to find him not humiliated. There camo a rhythmic clankjng on the road, and the red, damp-haired Itnunder, In nav. whom CraTintin had snubbed at Hanstead, going Lon donwatd now, and riding laboriously, drew near. "Ullo!" he said, softly, to himself, and as he passed, "Nothing w'rong?" Positively she nnswered him. Mr. Crampton did not notice It, because he was looking nt the mnchlne, but she must have done so. The IJoundor wns already some yards down tho road, but he- dismount ed with such alacrity that he almost tumbled over. He flung his machlno into the hpdgi In n fine, careless wav, an dcame back. "What Is It?" he said. "Nothing," said Mr. Crnmpton. full of ansry shnme. "Had a tumble MIssV" said the Boun der, not at all abashed, with hU eyes oir the bent mud guard. "I enn manage very well, thank you," said Mr. Crampton. "Lets have n look at the jlecer." said the Rounder, ndvnnclng; and sud denly became nware that he had met this obstructive person In brown be fore. Hu looked at thu girl. "Please let the gentleman see," said the young lady quietly. At that Mr. Crampton's temper gave way entirely. "Very well,' he said, quite ciossly. "I understood I was to mend your machine. I've wasted nn hour on It." "Steady on," said the Bounder, very quietly, bending down nnd looking at the machine. "I didn't know vou wanted to stop every mnn thrt ntno nlnng," said Mr. Crampton suddenly evibpr-rated to iimMt , "Steady on," said the Bounder again. Mr. Crampton leplled with n look of freezing contempt. "When vou wero rude to me." said the Bounder, lodklug up. "I let you alone. But If you're going to be rude to this young lady. I shall just punch year 'ead, See? I'm nn englna-fltter. and It don't tako that to bco vou'rr been pretty near knocking all the quality out ot a, vally-blo machine." Mr. Crnmpton wns hioathless with angor. "I'm quite prepared to pay for nny damage I've done," he said. Neither of them had the manners to nnswer. though ho stood quite a min ute. Trembling with Indignation Mr. Crampton picked up his machine, mounted n little clumsily, nnd rode off. Ho rodo very fast until ho was round tho bend Just to show how angry ho was. For n' space he was boiling with rage. Then he laughed aloud In a sar donic fashion. "Of all possible experi ences!" ho said. "Hal ha! And this comes of trying to holp a fellow crea ture!" The sardonic mood remained. He hated every human being In Crawley, both on the right-hand side and on the left. Most of them, from their man ner, seemed to bo awaie.of his recent Indignities. Ho rested nt Crawley nn hour, hating people quietly hut stead ily, and thinking1 of alternatives to his sayings and doing with tho Bounder nnd the young lady. It waa C when ho rode on again, and the Bun wns setting. A mllo out of Crnwley ha came to a long dark hill. Twilight camo as a sur prise, and with It camo an ncute senso of fatigue, He dismounted. Presently lu mounted ngnln. It wns difficult to decldo which p: ogress wns most tiring afoot or nwheel. And this was pleas ure! An acute realization of the In describable vulgarity of cycling came Into Ills mind. A dirty, fatiguing pursuit that put one at tho mercy of every Impudent cad one mot. He began to stamp with his feet, and use words that even his mother's caro had not prevented his learning. The road before him waa dark, Interminable, Impossible. He saw n milestone dimly, nnd went to It with a lingering hope that Providence might have Interposed on his behalf and cut out a dozen, miles or so, but there It was: "Brighton, twenty miles." And then comes a mystery. Within ninety minutes Mr. Crampton was alighting outside the best society hotel nt Brighton. There is a railway sta tion at Three Bridges, but I hold that an author should respect tho secrets of his characters. There wns no Incrim inatory ticket on his machine, and he never gave any one tho slightest ground for supposing that, ho did, any thing but cycle the whole way. His hat was awry, his clothes dirty, his linen crumbled, and his hands and faco and his tie were defiled with black from the young lady's chain. His mother received him with effu sion. She had grown nervous with the darknc.'s. "My dear, deav Cecil," she said advancing. "But ivw white an tired you look! And the du.it upon you!" She laid -arcssing fiit hands vp- on his shoulder. "Don't," said Mr. Cramptcn, briefly, and flung himself Into a chair scowl ing. But after dinner ho recovered, and tnlked to her. Among other things ha admitted he liked Madge, and seemed to take his mother's timid suggestions In a sympathetic spirit. 'But I wish she' didn't bicycle," ho said; "It's n bit common." They lunched next day with the ron tons. He waited for his opportunity to score his point, and so It did not come off until late In the afternoon. Mm Crampton would have boasted to Madge of his manliness H riding the whole way but for his express prohibi tion. "No," he said, quite calmly, In ans wer to come remark. "I didn't train, I wheeled Oown." Madge looked quite surprised. "Fifty two miles!" she said. "I don't know the distance," said Mr. Crampton. "It didn't seem, so ex ceedingly long." The Increase In her respect was swift and evident. ' How long did It take you?" "Six seven hours. I starts 1 about midday. But I didn't .scorch, you Know. And I .".topped about half an hour mending a girl's tire." He tried to look as though he had done nothing xtraordlnaT. "Here's Bthel. of all pooplo!" said Mrs. Fonton, rl.sing. "My dear!" Mr. Crampton looked up, and ther- In the doorway was tho heroine of tho punctured tire. . . . Madge ros?, too, to welcome her ft lend, and niltsed his expression. "And mm is Cousin Cecil," she said, Introducing Mr. Crampton. The newcomer advanced brightly, stared, lii;slUcoj, and bowed coldly. Mrs .Crampt-n uavrr quite uncpr stood the business, becauss her son was not only reticent, but extr-'mly Irrit able when questioned. Hvldontly the young people had mot lipfor. and wore under considerable constraint.
