A crowd Of nelghbors and passsrs by

Bacon concluded to try a safer expert

The wheel in Boerland.

Three years ago the first bicycle made
it's appearance in a small town in the
Transvaal. The wheelman passed
through at night, and the next day two
young Beers, early abroad in search of
stray cattle, saw the "spoor," or track,
of the wheel in the road. With the cuJ
riosity of their race, they followed the
track for some miles, being anxious to
''see the man who could trundle a
wheelbarrow so far without rest" After
an hours tracking one remarked, sage
ly: 'The fellow must be a thief; let
us tell the magistrate" Accordingly
the worthy Dutch magistrate was soon
on the scene, accompanied by score of
armed Beers, and the whole party fol-
lowed the path taken by the cyclist-
Suddenly one farmer exclaimed: Look
herei If it was a barrow, where is the
track of the man that wheeled it?'
my goodness said the magistrate, II
never thought of that Let's see-yes,
here is the wheel, right enough, but
where is the footprint? 1t is-it must
be a ghosti" With that the whole party
turned and fed in alarm, and for a long
time that portion of the road was not
traversed by any of the Boers.-Golden
