A party Of Young men belonging
to one of the New York cycling clubs
went off recently into the backwoods
for a few days run, sleeping and din
ing with any family who would take
them in. At one place they had just
eaten with bicyclers' appetites SUBJ
stantial country dinner, and were sit
ting on the veranda afterward for a
smoke, when the lady of the house
brought her knitting and sat down to
have little conversation with them.
She made a good many inquiries
about their wheels, how far they had
travelled that day, ETC., and finally she
remarked:
"Well, it done me good to see you
young men eat. 1t was very differ
ent from some of the city folks. Now,
there was lady here to board from
New York last year, and she was that
fussy | never see the beat, One day
she didn't eat the oatmeal. She al
ways he'd eat it, so | says, Miss Park.
er, why don't you eat your oatmeal =
She said: It's got worms in it. Nina
took il away and set it aside on the
sideboard, and after breakfast | look
ed at it, and if you believe me, it did
not have but one worm in that oat-
meal Now what harm did one worm
do that oatmeal? Why couldn't she
take the worm and lay it one side and
eat the oatmeal, like to know"
The bicyclers laughed at this graph
ic and suggestive narrative, and she
added triumphantly, "Well you may
laugh IN. Y. Sun.

knew why | looked in vain for CLEAN

81 am no spy" | said, as looked
about me. 81 am traveller making
for Cumberland Gap, and I've lost

"Go up that path !" commanded
the man who had captured me.
"Not until / satisfy you that | am

"Kiver him, Joe !" whispered the
man to one of the other, and shot
gun covered my breast again.
The leader ran back down the ra-
vine to be sure that no one had fol-
lowed us. When he returned he said:
"Say yer prayers, stranger Joe,
when l riz my hand do you plug him!"
"Did any of you ever hear of Joe
Rickabyl" 7" l asked, trying hard to
keep steady voice.
"Well, what if we had ?" asked the
leader.
"About year ago found him in
Jail in B. He had been there for
several months. He was sick and
out of money, and l aided him. Here
is his name in my note book. See ?"
The man with the gun lowered his
weapon and came closer and asked
"Was anybody else in Jail with
Joe?'
"Yes-half a dozen-all moonshin-
ers. l sent in 50 worth of pipes and
tobacco, and | got one of them some
quinine."
"He's the chap, sure's shooting p
exclaimed the man as he turned to
the others.
"On my soul he is" added the
leader as he came up and removed
my hat.
"Durn our buttonsl" whispered the
third.
In a minute more it was all right,
and they were shaking my hand so
vigorously that my shoulder ached.
The humble cabin a quarter of a mile
away was open to me forever more,
and it was two days before they would
let 60 of me to resume my journey.
The wife at the cabin had more per-
ception than the men. She looked
me over and said:
"Oh, sassafrax. but you fellers is

The leader walked beside me for
five miles when he left, and as we
parted he said:

yer prayers meant they should be

ten seconds, for l wanted ter git yer
