The Wheel In its Native Home

she was propelling by a steady tresdle
motion of her feet; guiding the whole
thing by the turn of lever or crank that
she held In her hand. She had no old
time "outrider,.' but was not altogether
without attendant. A little msid-ser
want, half grown, walked briskly beside
her mistress, and it soon became evident
that she was expected to lend helping

they came to rising ground.

town Of Peeping Tom as we rolled away

to the novelty of the idea, 1t seemed a
sensible, independent, pleasant way of

delicious freedom about 1t for an after
