Old Sen laniore gnashed his teeth in rage mi. i nearly ti ll oil ins lueyclo its he realized that tho young man was i laohablv there hoeausu his knowled.'o ' of the iill'uirs of tho hank gave him an indication of tho wealth of tho girl's father. Ho could think of no other reason for a young man coming from town to walk in it secluded spot with a pretty girl. Old Soudituiore cycled slowly and mlently behind them for hoiuo time, listening to their conversation, and ho was alongside tho young inau before either of them noticed his preaeneo. The great value of cyclo is, that it can keep its own counsel. The girl gave it blight shriek when she realized that lur father wits beside her, hut the young man kept admirably cool. "Are you aware, sir," caid Seuda niore, "that you are trespassing?" "I'm afraid 1 am, Mr. Seudauiore," aaid the young fellow, "in more senses than one." "You are a scoundrel !" cried Rendu more, "and if 1 ever catch you outhis place again I will have you horse whipped to the village. Meanwhile I w ill see the manager of the hank and have you discharged. I suppose you know enough of the afhtirsof the bank to he aware that I havo sullleietit in tlueuee for that purpose." "Yes," said tho young man. "I know that vou have; still, I had thought of retiring from the haul; ou becoming your son-in-law. I thought you might perhit s want an energetic young mail to look after your estate, for everybody says that if you keep on the way you are going, you won't have a man left on tho place." "You impudent villain !" cried old Scud, in a rage. "IT1, teach you to talk to your betters in that fashion. Jvlua, ymi go home, I'll talk to you later ou." The girl was very much nfraid of her father, and, though she looked up pealingly at him aud cast a frighteud glance at the young man, she obeyed, aud walked toward tho house. "Now, you young jack-it-napes, " said old Scud, "do you know what I am going to do? I'm going to hand you over to tho police for trespassing on these grounds." "I believe," mi id youag Sherwin, that yon are just idiot enough to do a thing of that sort. Of course, you can't make yourself tho talk of the country-side more thau you aro now, but you cuu, ut least, raise a scandal by handing mo over to tbo police, and mixing your daughter's name up in it." "I'll show you, you dog," said old Send "Of course, it would be a scan dal to have hor nam) mixed up with joun, but I'll tk Terr good care that ho r namn is not to mixe 1. If my dnnghter's nnrao in mentioned it will bo Iiccruso you mention it, and if you do no, fool n tho girl is, she will have nothing moro to nay to yon." The young man realized tho force of this, and ho walked along tbo path rilent, while old Hondamoro cycled slowly along Ly liin aide. When they were still Homo diet unco from the gate that, lod into tho main road Sherwin ma le it midden dash into tho hushes, and drew forth a cycle which wits cod cealc I there. Tho old man, thinking tho dash was tnado to escape him, jumped from his machino, and ho tho young fellow got a perceptihlo advan tage in the race. lie pusliod tho cyclo l.eforo hi iii to the path and cpranj on it. ".Vow, old Scud," ho r'.nutod, "li l'n eo who reaches the highway first?" Altlioii;h Si'iiditmoro was imt oM, his p'lwc rs on tho lueyclo w to noth ing to thoso of the cashier. Tho youtr,' mini reiiehcd tho gate it long way ahead of him, and when Seudii more passed into tho high road his speedy opponent wits no where to ho neeii. Old Seudamoro know the young inn ii must have taken thu road to tho village, for tho other way lod uirectly to lus own Louie, iindit was n t likely the cashier would havo taken that di rection. The truth wan, however, that Sherwin had not gona out into t he main road at all, but ha I con cealed himself belli ill tho porter's lodge, 'j ho porter, buing under no tice of dismissal, was reckles. He hated old Scud, and was friendly to the lovers. The moment Hcudamoro entered tho high road youu? Sherwin sprang on his bicycle and went like lightning up tbo path again, ii'itil ho overtook the girl. He quickly ex plained tolier w hut had happened and said : "You see, my dear Edna, life for you w ill be perfectly unbearable, now that ho has found it out. Thero is nothing for us hut to escape to the Scottish border us quickly its wo can and get married. Wo inunt go lit once, or as your father said, there is no chance of my ever Mceiujj you again, if we don't." "Uut," persisted the girl, "how are we to go? l ou cm t t.ilco me on your cycle, an I I haven't one of iny own, an I 1 couldn't ride if I had. If wo walk, fitlnrwill surely oveitiko us ! mid ho will certainly inquire i'or me ; the moment he gets home." I "I'd you what to do," s dd the young man, who was it permi:i of re 'source. "Vou go to tho h iiiso ns ! quickly as you can. I'll go bitcli to the porter'n lodge, conceal my cycle, i and wait for vou there. Orler out the dog cart, and put what things you urgently need in it. Have the fastest horse iu the stables huruosHo lto the dogcart. lrive down to thi lodge. 1 will join you there, and alter that we will chance it." "Uut," aaid the girl, "vrt are nure to meet father between the town and ft we. " "Not if wo turn down Purwood's l'no. If wo can get that far wo are all right. He will never tuiuk of look ing in that direction. The great thing is apeed, ho get down to the porter's lodge as quickly as you can. You see, nobody at the house suspocts any thing, aud it will not bo dillicult, but after to-dny you will Had you will bo kept a close prisoner. It is now or "ever, hdua, if you caro anything for me." I', lint protested that she cared ev erything. Tho young maujwent back to the porter's lodge. Ho concealed his bicycle, nd then waited with j much impitiicnco for the girl. At last i the came, driving a horse that was ' celebrated for its speed. Young Sher win sprang up behind her. "Let mo have the reins," ho said. "S t, no," protested tho girl, "I'm Hiiro I can drive ever so much better than you can, and beside, if we meet father ho cannot accuse me of steal ing tho horse, whilo it is just possible ho might make such a charge against you, if we are caught." They reached the turning and got into tbo laue without beiug observed, aud so felt reasonably certain of suo eoss. r.ut, alas! they hud countod not on the uncertain ways of Old Scud. Ho had cycled down into the town uud found nothing cf the man he was pursuing. He had learned, from passers by, that no ono had passod on a cycle for moro thau an hour, so he made up his mind that the young man would come by tho June, which, though the longest way round, was the safi.it from observation. Accord ingly, old Send, without waiting iu the towu, cycled out through tho phtco to where tbo laue joined the main road. Ho felt sure he would meet his enemy there, and his predic tion was indeed verified, but in a way ho little imagined. Ho was looking for a cyclist, and ho paid little atten tion to tin- traps he met. " There is just one cliauco in a mill ion," said young Sherwiu to Edna, when she, with terror, recoiuizod her father on his wheel, "and that is ho inav not recogui.e ns. Auvhow, there will bo a race for it. It's too late to turn hack, Edna, so whip up the horse and lot us wiu if we can." It is a curious thing that impres sions are sometimes loft on the brain as a photograph is left on an unde veloped plate. The young people at first thought they Had passod the old man unrecognized. He was bending his head over his work, and putting his best licks ou the treadles. He merely alanced at tho cart, and would have asked if they bad seen a cyclist, ouly he noticed it was a lady who was driving. So without paying any at tention to the pair ho rau2 bis bell sharply to waru them to keep to their own side ol tho ttad, and passed thorn like a cycloue. But as the old uiau worked his way along, the picture, or snap-shot as it were, left on bis brain began to develop, and be recognized 1 familiarity in tbe bono and trap be had pissod. Ho was half n milt) be yond them when it flashed into hi) mind that it was his owu horse and vo hide he had met. lie got o!Y bis bi cycle and looked after them. Tho girl was urging tho horso to great er speed, and at that moment the young man was looking over his shoulder up the lane. Iutantly tho truth of tho situation was borne in upon oi l Seudamoro, The advantages and disadvantages of tin position passed before him. It was ineicis t go hack nn 1 get Htiother horse, for they would bo iu Si'otlan 1 lou be fore ho could hopo to overtake them. On the other hand his already sharp ride had tired him, whilo their horse was fresh. The ro;t I to Scotland was anything but level. It n'as np hill an I down dale nil the wiy, and ol 1 Sen la more knew that going up hill they would out-distance him, for he would havo to get oil' nnd walk, but going down hill at full speed an 1 risking eve rything, he would very likely over take them. Then he remembered with joy that the last three miles of the race was a long incline to tho bridge at the border. If ho could not over take them before, be was sure to iii so at that stage of the race. "liy all tho gods," cried young Sherwin at that moment, "he's after us. Give mo the reins an I the whip, F.dna, we iiiu-t get over the bridge first, if we kill the horie in doing so." The young girl, with a rry of fear, gave tho reins into her lover's hands. In spite of all clTorts of tho horse they c juld not ourj'j shako off old Sea ls more, nor yet could bo overtake them, but voting SInTwin realized, as did old Seuilamore, that on the long decline to tho bridge ho would c ::ic up with them, cvou if they kept their borne on the gallop. When tho olopiti couple rcichol the top of the hill whore tlie Uorder er's Arms stand, threo miles from the bridge that leads into Scotland, the old man was but a mile behind them trudging up the bill as stubbornly, aud apparently hh fresh in ever. The young man stooped the horse at the door of the public house. "Ono 1 gracious!" sail tho irirl, "you are not going to stop here?" "Ye," sai l youug SlnTwin. "l).i'j't say a word. 1 will explain it all later," an I ho dashed iut the public boils ', where lie uMouislie 1 tie.' bir-lll tld by asking if she sold empty bottle. I "Yes, sir, "she said. "Then give me an armful quickly, ho erie l, Hinging down a ol 1 piece. Three arm loads tlm young man took out to tho trap and tl mg under the seat. The girl not knowing the bottles were empty, thought tho criti cal situation had turned her lover's brain, but hi) sprang into tho cart, and looking over his shoulder saw-that tho old man was only half way up the hill. "Now. my darling," he said, "yon take thu reins and drive as fast as you can. When they were above 3 ) ) yards from the tavern, Sherw in took a hot- tlo by tho neck and mn tshed it against the roii I, then another, and another, and another.

The girl continue I driving, whr.o Reginald, looking backward, Lad the full benefit of the old man's disaster. He did not stop at the top of the hill, but sprung at once ou his machine, and came down the incline like a light ning express. Reginald gaze! anx iously at tbo area .f broken glass which, he knew, legiu at the mile stone on the northern side of tho hotel. The old man came sweeping on without seeming to notice any thing, and Reginald's heart stood still, as he saw liow tue iuluriate.1 cyclist was gaining on them. "The tires must bo cut to piec3s by this time," ho muttered thrjugh his clinched teeth, aud he began again vigorously to smash bottles. Xo pneumatic tire that was ever made can stand a roadway of broken glass very long, and Reginald, with a sigh of re lief, saw tho oi l man wobble tirst from one side of the road aud then to the other, aud at last slow up and dis mount. The excited young man gavo a yell of triumph and waved an empty bottle over his head as ho saw old Seuda moro let his in ae hi ue drop in despair to tho ground, while he himself sat down ou the second milestone to mop his heated brow. They had been married moro than half an hour when the dejected man, trundling a bicycle whose tires hung in ribbous, entered the Scottish vil lage. A smiling young man went forth to meet him. "It is all right, father-in-law,' ho said : "I havo mule inquiries aud Hud that they cau put new tires ou bicy cles in this place, which one wouldn't have expected. 1 have sent bank a lot of men with brooms to sweep the broken glais off the ro.-.d.

Although yom temper is said to be bad, I have always admired your common sense, and as sure you that it is the ouly thing to do. As Edna is your ouly daughter, and as you and I will have to settle up our little difficulties some time, let us do it now, for two grown men like our solves don't want to furuisb gossip and scandal for this gossipy neighbor hood." "I suppose it's the only thing to do, you villian," said old Haudainoro. "It is, indeed," ropliod the villain. "Now go to the parlor on the tirst floor of the hotel and talk real uioely to my wife, while I take tho bicycle to the shop." Dotroit Free Pre. WOMAN'S WORLD.

Jackets with braid trimming in military designs are not ouly exceedingly tosty, but aro sure to bo sellers. Taney capes, with rows of hetivy woven' braid tho entire length, is ono of tho latent styles shown. Other uses' of braid point to a universal demand for the same to take the place of tho bias velveteen. Theie is no doiiying the advantage of the former, as the wearing qualities are threo times greater. Tho best style for sueu iiso is narrow braid with U Cord edge. The cord edge will give a service which will outlast the bias velveteen many times, besides it is a much more tiiiii'bome i.rticle. Home of tho best buyers hail this change with delight, for they have got heartily sick of the other article, and the constant com plaints which customers muko. Tho Uuvers Ouide. csr.s or old WATF.nrnoors. Every household probably possesses two or three discarded rubber water proofs of thu black shiny variety that was so very much iu vogue about ten years ago, says Harper's Bazar. Al though now entirely superseded by a more desirable garment, they may still be utilized in many practical ways. One of the most satisfactory transfor mations is tho soap-bubble suit. If mothers of restless children could but know what a peacemaking influence such uuiforn.s exert within doors on rainy days they would feel almost tempted to buy the new garment just to transform it into soap-bubble ar mor. This is made most easily into overall aprons with large sleeves that will slip over the ordinary outside dress. Tho apron is then fastened by long strings which tie at neck and wai.it, aud which raako it easily adap table to children of different sizes. Tor very little children who are likely to upset tho soap-suds every few min utes a simply made suit, consisting of a loose blouse and a full trousers fast ened with a drawing-string arouudthe waist, is proof against cold or damp uesc. A simple pattern is that of the creeping apron worn by very young children. Thus protected, I have known a family of children to splash and dabble to thoir hearts' content an entire afternoon. If the piecos of waterproof which are left over are sewed together and made into a lining for au old blanket, rug or shawl, it will bo found to make a most useful outdoor mat for a young baby. If placed out on tho lawn, the child may roll around on the rug, enjoying the sunshine and fresh air thoroughly pro tected from the damp ground. Smal ler strips of the black waterproof are very useful for tacking on screen or spring doors, which are apt to shut with a disagreeable noise. MARKS A LIVING MOM APIiOSU. A clever young woman, barely twenty, who has within the last two or three years established a steady patronage of her wares among tho so ciety women of the city, confessed to one of her patrons a day or two since that her income last year was over S'iOOO. The commodity i aprons. Over 3000 of these wero mado and sold last year. Tho young lady has boon engaged in apron manufacture since the age of thirteeu. Left au orphan, she undertook this work as a means of support. Her neatness and deftness soon made the work a payiug venture, and now, by her efforts she is educat ing two young brothers, as well as providing for herself. Tho woman formerly canvassed with ber aprons from house to bouse ; now she needs but to take orders, as bor liability has been proven and ber work is known to be satisfactory. She manu factures her aprous through the win ter and spring, and usaally devotes about six weeks in the summer to the takiug of orders and the delivery of the goods. As aprons are a uooessity of the wardrobe aud in constant wear and tear, a market which brings the tame to the door has come to be greatly appreciated both by mistress and maid, and the clever canvasier is now rare of a welcome wherever ibe goes. V . Hhe ha bor regular round of pat ron. The apron maker buys her material in New Voik by tho web. She makes ber own selections dimity and lawn for the fine aprons, muslin for tho maids and nnros and heavy linens and ginghams for the kitchens. No fancy aprons are manufactured, none with bibs and for children. The largest business is done in tho nurse maid apron, theso of double breadths, full almost to dress skirt patteru and with great sashlike tie. The lawn aprons are handsome, with their deep hems and pretty ties. Variety is assured by an occasional deep rufllo cr one or two pockets. The sowing aprons have deep pockets, and in a few of the dainty lawn aprons for tho mistress a jaunty f ocket Ins place. The young seamstress is still ablo to coutrol tho mannlacturo ot her aprons herself. To accomplish tho amount of work last year, however, tho greatest system and application was necessary. Days were spent in running up noth ing but the ties or striugs. Yard after yard of this ribbou like work was noatly fashioned, hemmed on both sides, then divided olf in proper longths. Other days would bo devoted to nothing but the hemming of tho bottoms of tho aprons, and on other days the gathering would claim atten tion. All work is douo on tho ma chine. Tho young apron maker has nn oyo to color also, aud in tho selection of ber ginghams an I muslins makes choice of the sweetest designs in checks or stripes, pink, blue, brown, or what ever tint may bo the choice at tho time. Tho aprons for the nurses, for the serving maids, or for tho mistress, however, aro always of the regulation white, the material ouly varied with the style. Tho little apron vender con fesses to the fact that in an apron which sells for fifty cents, owing to the reduced rate iu ber purchase ot material by wholesale, the actual out lay is but a trille over sixteen cents.
