HE LAY on TOP OF HIS WHEEL.
then he struck loose stone, lost con-
troll of the wheel, and with closed eyes
ran directly toward the side, and up
set. The little tailor rolled over and
over down the hillside gully, and lay
on top of his wheel at the bottom.
Slowly Old Hundred rose, and found
to his intense relief that he had broken
no bones. To his equally great relief
he discovered that he had broken the
bicycle One pedal projected from the
crank at a most astonishing angle.
A gay laugh rang out few yards
farther down the ditch, and 10: there
on its bowldery side sat the stout-heart-
ed Z. c.; at her feet her tricky wheel!
A happy light shone in her eyes.

ing to a handle-bar bent back some
forty degrees.

tailor, showing the disaffected pedal.
Isn't it too bad! I'm afraid we'll have
to 90 home"
With some toll they hoisted their BIZ
cycles to the road again, and set out for
the town, trundling them happily.
And then it was that the tailor spoke
these memorable words:

Into Fearful Rage.
The reputation that Pueblo gained as

was due to the unselfish efforts of some

pranks was the present massive deputy

and the name adhered.
For Old Hundred was one OF those
dried-up little men who might be con-
sidered twenty if some inconvenlent
old ladies did not remember holding
them in their arms just forty years ago.
He wore g dainty juvenile mustache'
walked with a smart swing, although
one might notice that his heels came
down rather stifay, and played games
among the most frivolous at the church
socials.
He was a tailor, an excellent one, by
the way, and his apprentices had by
this time ceased to grin and chuckle
when their master sprang down from
his cross-legged position on the table
every morning precisely 1t ten. as b.

Susy was a dear. old girl, however,

fault if she was getting up startlingly
near a very rheumatic forty without
