BICYCLE BUILT FOR THREE.

1t Traverses the Water and Is Pro"
nounced an Ingenious Conveyance.
While in Paris inventors concentrate
their energy on rapid locomotion on
terra flrma in the shape Of horseless
carriages, their colleagues in Germany
devote their best efforts to reaching the
acme of speed in navigation. On the
lakes and rivers Of the Spreewald may
now be seen what the Germans call a
tretmotor boat, of which "treadmill
boat" and bicycle boat" are equally
imperfect translations. In this case
neither steam, electricity, petroleum
nor naptha is the factor of speed, but
muscle aided by ingeniously contrived
machinery. The tretmotor can be set
in motion by one, two or three riders.
The more riders, of course, the greater
the speed. The wheel back of the last
rider conveys the power to the screw,
At the rate of sixty treads per minute
the screw makes 500 revolutions in the
same time. The last rider can also
steer the boat. One advantage Of this
craft is that it can also be propelled
with oars and sails. AS the simple
machine can be adjusted in any other
wide boat, it is not necessary to build
a specially shaped vessel for it. In or
der to maintain the equilibrium. which
seems difficult, as the riders are seated
very high, a counterweight Of 200
pounds is adjusted to the stern.

zone time received man charged
with numbering his partner. There was
little doubt about his guilt, so the
vigilance committee turned him over
to me. The prisoner and the murdered
man had left together, and somebody
found the partners body in the bushes.
A few miles farther on they caught the
prisoner, who had gun and other prop
erty known to have belonged to the
murdered man. 1t was bad case, the
body being mutilated as to be almost
unrecognizable, but the prisoner said
he was innocent, and / never had a
more sociable fellow or better card
player in the Jail. He was the only one
there, and after really got acquainted
with him we would play old sledge un-
til late at night and then bunk together.
HE was tried and convicted, but it
made no difference with him. 1t was
my first hanging, and we got the gal
lows built, the prisoner watching the
work and making comments on it. The
rope came and he saw it. BILL" said
he, 'yo' amt no good as a sheriff. Don't
yo' know that ere rope ought ter be
soaked? 1 don't want this affair of ours
to go off any other way than smooth
Yo' go soak that rope So soaked the

night before the hanging we sat down
to play old sledge. He said: Bill, amt

right, and it's shore mean fer i'm to

II promised him, and we went on
with the game. About 10 o'clock man
came to the window and shouted for me,
then he tried the door of the Office, and
it wasn't locked. He walked right in
and said: Hello, jim! Hello, Bill! 1t
was the man we thought was murdered,
Jim stood up and said; You're purity
pardner to leave me hyar to be hanged
They don't allow no shootin' irons hyar
so we KANT settle but one way. Shuck!
Then there was the prettiest fight
ever saw, Jim pounding his partner I'M
til he called for quits. We all went to
see the judge that night and called of

thought had been murdered. Then the
two men went away and we never saw
them again, neither did we ever find

BILE change within the past twenty-four
hours. He had aged a score Of years,
and there were white hairs mingling
with the brown on his temples. He
received them with sad stern gravity,
and led the way up to the apartment
where he had left Imogene. He opened
the door and they entered.
Crouched in the further corner Of the
room was the object Of their search,
but she looked more like a wild beast
than a beautiful woman. One glance
was sufficient to show them that reason
had fed from her brain. Her face was
livid, save a purple line beneath each
eye, her long, glossy hair had been torn
from her head in handfuls, and lay
scattered on the floor. Her dress was
fearfully disordered, and her delicate
hands we're bloody where she had beat
against the door in trying to escape.
The sheriff advanced toward her, and
spoke gently, but the sound of his voice
filled her with new madness. With a
wild, fearful cry, she sprang upon him,
hurting him to the floor, while her
slender fingers frightened so closely
round his throat, that in a moment he
would have been strangled, had not

A Memorial to GIrard.

When the yellow fever epidemic
swept over Philadelphia in 1898, carry
ing off 4,O31 people out of population
of $4,000, Stephen Girard offered his
services to the public and was appointed
overseer at the Bush Hill hospital. He
devoted his time to visiting the sick at
the peril of his life. His heroism has
just been commemorated by the unYeil-
ing of marble tablet to his memory in
the chapel of Girard college. 1t is pro-
posed also to erect statue of him in
the plaza in front of the Philadelphia
city hall on the one hundred and forty
sixth anniversary Of his birth in 1897.
The alumni of Girard college will at
tempt to raise $4,000 for this object.

sight of her face. She put her arms
around his neck and kissed him cor

Helen, I do not credit you. Go out
and bring me somebody that knows"
She slipped away and returned with
the magistrate and Mr.. st. Cyril. They
gave the Governor full statement Of
affairs, and last of all displayed to him
the confession of John Rudolph.
"Now, papa, for the pardon!' cried
Helen. 1--WE can't wait for any long
legal process to set Lynde Graham free
we want it done at once!'
Governor Fulton complied He wrote
first an order to the jailer, commanding
him to let Lynde Graham go free; and
then he made out the pardon in due
form.
Helen kissed him rapturously; and
with the papers in her hand, bounded
away. She found Agnes weeping soft
ly, alone in her chamber.
1--WE got itw she exclaimed, gleefully,
"and you shall carry it to him yourself,
YOU dear old darlingw And she held
up the papers.
Agnes threw her arms around the
girls neck but Helen shook her off
with pretty petulance.
There don't! You'll muss my collar,
and get my curls all in a snarl! Take
the papers and don't let the grass grow
under your feet"
Agnes reached the Jail, and gave to
the old warden the order for the prison
er's release. He read it over carefully,
his hard old face softening with smile
of genuine delight
THANK the Lord" he calculated.
"Tse alters thought 1t would come!
Use never had an idee that that man
was made to be hung"
Agnes entered the cell softly, her
heart beating almost to suffocation.
Lynde was lying across the foot Of lis
cot asleep. How very worn and hag-
gard he looked! The tears came into
the eyes of Agnes as she gazed at him,
and dropped upon his face. He stirred
ureasily, and muttered
"Ah, SO it is time? Well, I am ready"
Agnes touched his cheek lightly. He
sprang up, and on seeing her, smiled
brightly.

"But I tell you it Is possible! she
answered, radiant with the words-"o,

1T cannot be! Agnes, tell me"

said reverently. II would have spared
her. When she did this deed l loved
her. Her beauty had intoxicated me-
I would have died for her, and counted
it bliss. And then she asked me to
keep her secret. Worlds would not
have tempted me to betray her. But
Agnes, the moment l knew what she
had done, all the absorbing passion l
felt for her melted away-I shuddered
at the thought of her! But she was a

loved her. And because Of this, 1 could

it, but the letters swan before his eyes.
He could not read single line. He
dropped his forehead on the shoulder
Of Agnes in sheer weakness.

They passed out Of the prison to-

hand heartily.

a suspicious moisture in his gray eye.
IT never thought you did it, and I'm
glad it's all found out. There be bright
days in store for you yeti"
Lynde wrung the honest hand, but
he was too full for speech. He walked
on with Agnes until they reached the
great pine by the shore. There their
paths diverged. He took her hands
in his and looked into her eyes. No
word was spoken. He stood thus a mo-
ment, then he stopped and touched the
shining hair above her forehead with
his lips. And then turning his back
upon her, lie walked in the direction of
the deserted cottage he had once called
home.

stocking becomes a matter of import
ant consideration. They are all of
thick wool, and the newest show the
gay Tartan plaid colors. The suede
gloves with ventilation holes pierced
