Suddenly he wheeled round and strode swiftly in the direction of the gate.
 "There is General V-," said I to the sentries, pointing out the white cap in the distance, as 1t appeared over an intervening cluster rose.

 I went up that gate like a squirrel orchids and all for the generals steps were already crunching the gravel of the path behind. As I bestrode the golden eagle he saw me, picked up his sword, and ran his spurs winking over the grass in the sunlight and the orders tinkling on his tunic. I pride myself on being the first foreigner who ever made Russian general run.
 I cut the descent short, picked myself up and hurried down the avenue, pray ing that the iron gate might be bullet proof and the potato garden not con- venient to the guardhouse. l did not run, but that was on account of the pa- trols.

The trial took place soon after six o'clock and q large number of interested bicyclists and others were at the track. The six miles were made in 16:56A, and the Simpson block business man was $50 in while his neighbor at ross the street was the same amount out. There were sundry outside bets on the result, but for the past few days there has been but little betting, as it seemed a foregone conclu- sion that De Mills would accomplish the feat

Every hour and almost every minute dur
Ing the day the store formerly occupied by
Wilcox e. Draper was closed during Satur-
day The doors we're opened only often
enough to admit and let out the crowds OF
eager buyers. Omaha never saw such a
sale and Omaha will never see another like
it.
II was due entirely to the popularity OF the
line that Wilcox Draper carried. Every
body knew that bargains were in slght I;
everybody felt certain that anything that
Mr. Wilcox managed was all right-thats S
why they came in such crowds that douglas
street was blockaded; that the store had 10

order to allow the great army of statesmen

manded.
And what they demanded they got. They
got 1t for the asking, though, for bargains
were free to all.
And you never saw such a sale in all your
life. No store was ever so crowded. NO
crowd was ever so well satisfied.
Just TO keep up the interest these prices
are quoted for the opening of Monday $
business:
Wilcox G. Draper paid a dollar and a half
for.
Shoes for men that Wilcox G Draper sold
for S5.O0-the best wearing calf shoe is now
$2.9s.
A hundred and twenty-three pairs of men S
$500 tans, in the latest shapes, for S29S.
Many different kinds put in one lot, some
were s4, some So, and all sizes, now all Sl9S.
Probably the greatest thing in the stock
is the table filed with needle toe button
and square toes pair, 95c
All the ladies' shoes sold by Wilcox g.
Draper for S4.00 whether tan or black,
needle or square, go in at prices like this

And there's no time to deliver any OF
them. We're doing very well when we ut

You never got such bargains in shoe his
