That is the easiest spring for
baby. If you want itpretty,
1t can be painted If you
want it bright, 1t can be
nickeled. In the plainest
form of this gear it costs
$3.50 for handle, wheels,
axles and springs. AT that
price the woodwork is
strong enough, but not
handsome of course. You
can easily put some extrava-
gance into it, if you want to.
The other two sorts OF
springs are sitter and give
a different motion. They
are stronger and cost more.
Not so pleasant for baby; not

could we all have been 50 stupid But
you see, the minute you began to speak

me-" said Mr. Amory. "l1ut it's the
way have always mentioned myself
TO strangers. st. Lucctta's, you
know"
Eyes, I know" said Kate. "But to
the good folks here there is only ono
hospital in the world, and that is the
Pitcherville institute"
Mr.. Amory enjoyed his tea, sliced
peaches and delicate "angol cake very
much as he sat tetc n. tcte with Kate
Duer, by the soft light Of the shaded
lamp, while the rain battered without.
And when the doctor came in 1t was
cozier yet.
"The small pox case - said he. ooh,
that is safely isolated at Hopes quarry
since this morning, and doing very
well, too. Upon my word, Mr.. Amory,
! am sorry that you have had such a
disastrous experience.
"All's well that ends we'll" said the
young clergyman, leaning back in his
snug corner, with an expression of in
elfable content on his face.
Miss Lydia Larkspur was quite in.
dignant when she heard that Mr..
Amory was staying at DR.. Duer's resi-
dence
"Just like Kate Duer," said she;
"to maneuver to get that poor young
man into her hands, after all. But If
man rushes around the country telling
everybody that he comes from Il hos.
pital, what can he expect ?"
But this was not Mr.. Felix Amory's
last visit to Pitcherville. He came in
autumn, when the leaves were red, and
then in the frozen beauty of winter.
And the last time he asked Kate Duer
'if she was willing to encounter the
trials of minister's wife" And Kate,
after little hesitation, said that she
was willing to try.
And Miss Lydia Larkspur declared
that "any one could get married If
they were as bold about IL as Kate
Duer."

Mr.. Thomas Stevens, the adventur.
Gus bicyclist, now on an Asiatic tour,
has been turned back by the Afghan
authorities from entering India. and at
last advices had returned TO Meshed,
Persia, whence on the 18th of May he
writes as follows to the Boston Heydld:
"And now comes the question of my
future programme, although l feel it
to be almost useless to attempt such q
thing as programme, since mine has
been changed so often of late by cir
cumstances over which / have had no
control. There remains the route
from Astrakhan through Siberia, as
now worn almost to the rim, and
with five spokes short and no
tires, it would be sheer folly to
think of undertaking task that
may be considered as fully equal
to wheeling from San Francisco to
Boston and back again to Portland,
Ore. very much doubt If the Rus
slams would give me the road, anyhow
After reaching Astrakhan, the matter
would have to be referred to st. Peters.
burg, and the chances would be
strongly in favor of refusal. In
short, unless the time consumed in the
journey around the world is to be
stretched out to an unseemly length,
shall have to work for the future on
reasonably certain lines. My best
course would seem to be to reach India
the best way possible by ordinary
means of travel, and resume my jour
ney on the bicycle at point rs near as
is practicable from where the Afghans
turned me back. | am convinced that
this is the only sensible course to pur.
sue; more especially as my extra tire,
spokes, ETC., have been forwarded to
India from Constantinople. A wheel
of 400 miles will take me to Aster-
bad, on the Caspian coast, whence
India can be reached by steamer and
Russian railway. The distance | shall
have wheeled back in reaching Aster-
bad, If reckoned as being in the oppo.
site direction, will considerably overlap
my starting point in India, When that
point is reached | shall have been com
PEELED to travel by bicycle, rail and
steamer about 5000 miles in order to
overcome the little strip of 400 miles
that the Afghans refused to let me
cross. There is shorter route than
this, down through Persia to the Rus
sian gulf, 900 miles, and thence by
steamer from Bushire; but it is imprac.
ticable by bicycle at this season of the
year, even if my tires were in condition
to undertake the journey, which, SO
far as wear and tear is concerned, may
be rcckoned as equal to twice the same
distance on American roads"

this city came near causing rupture
between Commissioner Wheatley and

Americdn. When the fact became
known that Major Dye was to be re
moved, Dyes friends, who were mostly
army officers in high rank and
several leading Senators, rushed to
his aid. President Cleveland was asked
to interfere on Dyes behalf. The
President sent for Mr.. Wheatley and
asked him what the causes were that led
to the Majors dismissal. Mr.. Wheatley
replied that the Commissioners deemed
the change necessary for the good of
the Police Department "lf you are
not satisfied, Mr.. President" stated
Mr.. Wheatley, with our course in the
matter, my resignation is at hand"
The President realized that Mr..
Wheatley was one of his appointments,
and Mr.. Wheatley's determined ways
lead him to the conclusion that the
best thing for him to do is to let the
young commissioner have his way. He
did not want his own acts criticised.
