tempts of the police of two towns to
capture me.
While this statement is naturally fiat
tering to me, it is nevertheless libel,
and, in fact, if 1 cared to use strong
language, 1 might go so far as to take
the last syllable away from the word
'libel."
The whole trouble arose through
Switzerland not having a proper Ian
guage of it's own, that hilly country pre-
ferring to express what few thoughts
1t has in mixture of French, German
and italian, depending on what particu-
lar canton you happen to be in. They
say that the Swiss are natural lin
gusts. Unfortunately, they are. Any
combination of sounds you may make,
means something to any Swiss to whom
you happen to be talking, for he knows
SO many Languages that you are sure to
hit one of them, and so you convey ideas
to him that you had no thought of ex-
pressing.
October weather is lovely in Switzer-
land. Most of the visitors have then
gone, prices come down one-half, and
the air is sweet and cool, with usually
cloudless sky.
Under these circumstances 1 thought
1t would be nice thing, as the roads
were good and the scenery picturesque,
to take bicycle tour right around
Lake Thun, beginning at the town
which gives the lake it's name, and 60
Ing around to the north side of the lake
to Interlaken, and returning by the
south shore.
The hotel keeper told me that if l
went up the street, turned to the right,
went under an arcade until came to
tunnel, penetrated that and emerged
on another street, turned to the left
and kept on, would come to the shop
cfa man who would let me have bicycle
on hire by the day or the hour. l fol-
lowed the directions as closely as pos
sible, and thought recognized the shop
because bicycle was leaning against
the wall. The owner was leaning
against the doorway, looking at the
bicycle outside. The following CONVEX

me. AS had no idea that race was on,
plugged along in a leisurely manner
and would undoubtedly have been
taken near Interlaken if it had not been
for the fact that some years ago COM
pany built funicular railway from
the margin of the lake, a mile or so up
to St. Beatenburg. l had lived in ST.
Beatenburg once, and l remembered
that the road from there to Interlaken
was good one, SO thought that per-
haps it would not be a bad plan to go up
on the railway and coast down to In
terlaken. / knew man who had done
it once. can well believe now that nc
one ever tries it the second time. The
car goes up to ST. Beatenburg three Or
four times a day only, but when a
couple of miles away from the landing
l saw steamer coming in and knew
if l reached the landing about the time
she did l would get car.
The policemen, it seems, caught sight
of me as l was making my squirt, and
they at once put on extra steam, but
there is deep bay just before one
reaches the funicular and they lost
sight of Inc as 1 turned the point. ]
just managed to catch the car and got
on board somewhat short of wind. AS
we went up l noticed an innocent and
unfortunate Englishman standing on
the road at the foot of the hill with his
bicycle beside him, and he was watch
ing us go up, taking rest at the same
time before mounting the steep hill
that rose between him and his destina-
ton. / had little idea at the time that
/ was making trouble for that I'M
known stranger, and hope he will ac-
cept my apologies if this recital should
chance to meet his eye.
The policeman overlook him near the
top of the hill, and, with the craft that
distinguishes all continental officials,
they said nothing, but followed him un-
til he reached Interlaken, where, in
spite of his protestations. they arrested
him on the charge of stealing his own
bike. The man was justly indignant.
and showed them his customs receipt
from the French government, and it
was no use; they knew they had the
right man, and they telephoned to Thun
for the owner of the machine to come to
Interlaken on the next steamer and
identify his property. This took few
hours, and when they let the poor man
go. he was exceedingly hungry and
angry, swearing he was going to bring
an action against the Swiss authorities,
as if that would do any good.
Meanwhile, / had reached the top of
the railway funicular and bicycled the
mile or more along the street. high up
