Briggs-Hello, new wheel?
GriggS-Yes. proudly
Briggs-Let's take a squint at il. Climber,
Ell? Why didn't you get a Runaround?
Griggs mot quite so p~roud)-Think that's
better than this, do you?
Briggs-No comparison. Let me ask you
where is the center of gravity in this wheel.
and where is it in the Climber? You prob
ably have never seen a Climber, have you?
Griggs Chatting 10 acknowledge iD-N-no, /
haven't.
Briggs-I thought not. When a man buys
a wheel he ought to get a good one-he
ought to get the best. Look the field over
Carefully, examine all the different makes,
and then make your own selection. unbiased
by the prejudices or opinions of others.
That's the way! (Griggs takes out his note
book.) Haven't you got your handle bars
too high?
Briggs-By all means. Ought to be two
inches lower. Make IL an inch and raise the
saddle an inch. i can see with half an eye
you haven't got leverage enough. What
makes you have your chain bar so loose?
Griggs (busily writing)-ls ii too loose?
Briggs-Certainly. What is your wheel
geared at?
Griggs-Sixly-six.
Briggs thought so. Take my advice and
make IL seventy-six. You won't regret IL.
F'eeling the tires.) Grea. Scott, you haven't
got your tires blown up.
Briggs-Thanks, old man. Keep right on.
Briggs (who has been absorbed. looking
up)-And-wha on earth are you doing With
that note book?
Griggs doyfully)-Don't stop. old man. Go
right on. Thanks to you. I've got down
lust what to say to the next friend of mine
I meet with a new wheel.

Modern Authors and Their
r. w. Box, in the Forum.

There is now an author before the public
whose writings have a wide audience. but
who has been recently told by the critics
that his work Is deteriorating. This is true,
and 1t Is not strange that il should be so.
He is a man who as a writer shows the
highest art in his work. and his earlier
books demonstrate this fact beyond a doubt.
But he has come under the influence of
the dollar. and now writes what is called
ito order" Not long ago a magazine edi-
tor approached this author for his next
work. and found him just starting upon ii.
Il would like it," said the editor.
what will you pay for it?' was the au-
thor's first question.
How long will it probably be?' inquired
the editor.
"Oh, / can make it just as long or as
short as you want it," said the obliging
author. Then he added: lit depends upon
the price. / can make a forty-thousand-
word story of il If YOU like. and then it will
cost you Sc, 900. Or | can spin 1t out TO sixty
thousand w~ords-and that is really what j
ought to have to let the story tell itself
but then | will want $500 for ii. OF course,
If you can't pay more than 5000 1 can trim
IL accordingly"
The real question OF the story itself did
not enter the question. Ii was simply a
matter Of price. You paid so much and you
got so much. If you paid a little more
you received a little more. 1t was Anthony
TrollOpe over again.

both of the missing women acknowledged
their identity. and stated that they had
been here since October. 1894. at which time
their disappearance from Dighton was dis
covered. Mrs Burnham CLAIMS that she
left home because her husband made her do

* "a HFCiAh6 II
A woman who looks we'll to the ways Of
her household should know how long, under
ordinary circumstances. certain supplies,
such as tea, coffee. butter, sugar and coal
should last. II is by no means a proof Of
a niggardly housewife to do so, but il is
her duty TO herself and family to know
what use is made of those articles which
she provides. This duty may be done so
tactfully that no maid could dream of TAX
ing offense, or in a way to antagonize.
When accounts are kept, that is, when the
mistress writes down in her order-book the
exact quantity she wishes, with the date of
the order, the matter is easily managed.
The housewife will do well also TO keep a
price list. and she can then enter the
prices with the order. The practice of some
marketmen of sending from one 10 three
pounds more than the quantity ordered
should be vigorously discouraged. Ii is a
practice in some households where the mar
keting is done by order. TO detain the man
who delivers fruits, vegetables and meats
until ii is seen IL they are OF good quality
and in proper condition. If IL is possible to
do this, and supplies not up to the mark
are Immediately returned. IL Is far more
effective In securing good service than
many protests made after accepting and
disposing OF tough meat or stale vegetables.
