walked boldly in Jim talked pleasantly to
the child, who remembered him perfectly,
and gave her two or three trinkets from his
stock in trade which he had brought along
in his pocket. Then he begged the little
girl to allow him to kiss her hands, and
she, quite unabashed, extended the chubby,
pink fists as PRETTY and gracefully as if
she were the Queen of England holding a
drawing room.
At that instant the squire, frowning

There was tremor in the poor fellows

his rough, weather-hardened cheek. But
the squire was on his dignity, and quite i'm.

land route:
l. Because it is always first to give
cheap rates.
2. Because it gives to its patrons only
firstc class accommodations
3. Because it runs free chair cars on all
trains and Pullman sleeping cars on ali
night trains leaving Wichita
4. Because its ticket agents will sell you
tickets and check your baggage TO destina-
tons be it east. west, north or south, and
always ready to give reliable information.
8. Because it is noted on account OF its
gentlemanly employees and the attention
paid its patrons.
6. Because it is the only line that ladies
and children can travel over without
worry or trouble and receive the best Of
treatment by All employees.
z. Because its tracks are of the heaviest
steel rail. rock ballast iron bridges, COM
modious station houses and the finest eat
ing houses in the world.
These are only few reasons why you are
justified in selecting the great Rock Island
route when going on a journey for business
or pleasure-for comfort, speed and safety
the Rock Island route is way ahead. Call

Her pedals gear with those Of her COM
panion, and a high rate Of speed is easily
possible.
All the advantages of safety machines are
secured, and the tandem is very delight
full machine to ride. AS a matter of fact,
bicycles are far safer than tricycies, and
some Of the most terrible accidents that
have occurred to ladies in the pastime Of
wheeling have occurred to those riding tri-
cycles. They are bulky, hard to steer, slow
of speed, confusing in their movements and
liable to frightful headers on bad pave
ments. The safety tandem has never been
known to break any limbs.

extended to the railway track. Two or
three days after his repulse of Faker Jim
that worthy was coming into Hunkeyville
from neighboring village where he had
been favoring the natives with matinee,
and was walking along the ties for ''short-
cut"
Just back of Squire Nelson's lot he beheld
q child, apparently unmindful or uncon-
scious of any danger, sitting on the track
exactly between the rails. Just then a
heavy freight train came laundering around
the curve from the direction of the town,
and still the child, with her eyes turned the
other way, played on.
In an instant the peddler measured time
and space, as between himself, the train
and the child, and sped toward Dot like the
wind.
Tim reached the baby ahead of the train,
but not much ahead. For, when the squire,
missing his grandchild and hearing the
train, rushed down to the track, he ar
rived there in time to see Dot, little the
worse for her adventure, picking herself up
in the long, dry grass; but In the ditch lay

THE TANDEM BICYCLE.

The Latest Invention for Those Who En-
Joy the Wheel-A Tandem Bicycle for
Ladies'.
The latest thing for lovers is the lady's
tandem bicycle. 1t is an English idea, none
the less popular in this country on that ac-
count. In Brooklyn, Boston, Washington
and other cities where there are good pave
ments it is rapidly coming into vogue. Its
construction is, in the main, similar to that
of the ordinary safety machine, the wheels
being similar and propelled by gearing con-
nected with the pedals.
The front wheel is considerably smaller
than the main wheel, and the seats are on
standards low and strong. The lady's seat
is between the two wheels little back Of
the center Of the machine. The gentle
mans seat is over the large wheel in the
rear. Upon him devolves the greater part
of the duty of propulsion and the guidance
Of the vehicle. The lady has hand rests by
which to make her seat more firm. but has
