Wanted to Defend Beauty, But Found
 That He Wasn't Needed.
 The beauteous creature was in tears, and consequently the young mans blood boiled with indignation. Wouldn't beauty in distress make any impressionable youths blood boil? We'll, rather.
 A great big hunk of man had stopped her on the public street. He had addressed few words to her first, and as she tried to hurry past him without answering he had roughly caught her by the arm
 Let me go!" she had cried, but the big brute had merely laughed and then said something to her in low tone, at which she had burst into tears
 Clearly 1t was a case for intervention by any courageous gallant Her tears were evidence that she had been gross ly insnlted. and her attempt to free herself from the big bully's grasp was additional proof that she stood in need of succor.
 Now, thatll do," said the young man. warningly in a loud and resolute tone.
 The big brute stopped shaking the girl and looked at the young man in surprise, while the girls astonishment was made evident by the way she opened her eyes and stared.
 "She can hardly believe that she has a champion poor thing, Said the young man to himself, and his bosom swelled with pride until the buttons on his coat threatened to give way.
 "Who yer talkin' to?" asked the big brute, after he had partially recovered from his surprise.
 You" replied the young man promptly, more determined than ever to make bold stand and good im- pression. 'I cannot stand idly by and see you insult and bully a friendless girl--one who in every way is your su- perior. For every pang your disgrace full conduct has caused her I-''

Edwin Arkay, En Route for Peoria, H.,
 Was Compelled by Illness to Apply
 for Aid.
 A young man, who said that his name was Edwin Arkay and that his residence was in Peoria, H., applied to Sergeant Mcbride at the central police headquarters last evening about 8 o'clock. He walked from Boston, where he went several weeks ago with a Chicago trotter. Arlkay was i'll, and as it is against the rules of the Associat- ed Charities to allow anyone suffering with fever to say at the wayfarers' lodge, Arkay was sent back to the po- lice station. Sergeant Mcbride called the town agent by telephone, and ac- quainted him with the facts in the case. The young man was then sent to the hospital.

Cycling SIS certainly about the most un-
graceful form Of sport that women have

r.rs are fr more important subjects
f,r consideration than Is commonly sup
ro.sl is apparent when you view the
n-ny Of appropriately dressed women
wheeling through the park and out on
the boulevard The majority Of them APP
t.rsnay have never given the subject of
suitable dress a. second thought.
Any OBJ skirt OF dark material is short

dressed women arc decidedly the excep-
ton. which seems unnecessary with the
present variety OF bicycle dresses from
which 90 choose.

Striped patterned lace is much the mode
and is most effective when used on some

have too large a supply.
