But Her Dream Was Realized.

Once upon a time girl was seized
with the bicycle mania. That was three
years ago, when mammas werenOt quite
so liberal minded as they are now. A
rich aunt threatened to disown her, and
the rest of the relatives raised chorus
OF disapproyal whenever she mentioned
the subject. For the sake Of peace and
quiet tho dear, self sacrificing girl gave
up the bicycle idea, although every sea
son she suffered terribly whenever she
saw q girl on wheel. About a week
ago she asserted her rights and took her
savings for three years and invested
them iii bicycle. Every morning she
disappeared for several hours and re-
turned home with bandaged fingers, torn
skirts, banged in aat, sour temper
and painful limp.
Yesterday she invited the family 10
assemble at a certain riding school to see
her perform. She nimbly mounted, spun
around the hall twice. jumped off and
on with the agility Of young kitten
and excited the admiration of the whole
crowd.
Then come officious person said, go
around the other way"
She had always practiced in the one
direction. but such a trifie did not worry
her, so she wheeled around and rode off
Like runaway cable car. When she ar
rived at the first turn, there was a terri
BILE crash, a shrek, a resounding crack
made by her head coming in contact
with the floor. and then all was still.
The family had her taken home in an
ambulance, and she has already made
arrangements to have the machine
patched up and sold at half price.
II only cost her about $i2J TO have her
dream realized. Chicago Record.
