THIS is a ride of about twelve miles from

BICYCLE RIDE TO LURAY
One of the Most Pleasant Trips
Out of Washington.
ROUTES TO CHOOSE FROM
Popular One Is to Go to Martins
burg by Rail and Then Wheel Up
theShenandoahvall Blythe Other
the Cycle Is Used All the Way
Can Const as Fast as IL Train.

Luray is one OF the most delightful
trips that any Washington bicycler can
take.
Nearly every rider who loves 10 try his
mettle ON a long spin, has taken the run.
Each one has felt amply repaid for the
trouble, and ut the first opportunity tries
1t again.
There are TWO routes that can be taken.
One from Washington direct by wheel
The other up the Shenandoah Valley from
Martinsburg. The last named route is
the one the rider usually selects.
STARTING FOR THE CAVE.
Train is taken To Martinsburg and from
there 10 Newmarket the run belongs to
the valley proper, and at this point the
ride to Luray commences. The distance
Is fourteen miles over a pike road, which
Is generally good. There is one mountain
to climb and it is a pretty steep one.
Luray lies IN Thornton Gap, which is
the pdsSageway between the two ridges OF
mountains. The climb up the western side
is two miles long, but it is equalizcd by
magnificent coast OF two miles down the
other side. The scenery is exquisite, and
mountain To the caves make ride hard
to surpass.
The cave rs about a mile from the town
proper and the rider must leave his wheel
behind for the first time He usually spends
day in this vicinity, and then can start
home by route which is seldom taken,
niHety-eight miles long. This route brings
him to the city by wheel.
THE ROAD HOME.
Leaving Luray, four and one-half miles
brings him to the foot of the Blue Ridge.
Then passing through the eastern end of
Thornton's Gap, for twelve miles from
Luray tie ride is one to try a mans
nerve and the scenery cannot be cXceiled.
Down The east slope of the mountains he
can coast at the rate of a railroad train.
Mt the bottom OF the Gap lies the town of
Spcrryville.
From Speryville there is a run Of : 5-S
miles to Washington, better known as
Little Was hin gton.'' -Four and an
eighth miles further on is Amisyille. But
before it is reached three hills are to be
climbed. They are so long and steep
that riders VIII he surprised to hear tn e
natives call them peaks instead Of
mountains.
Shade rostoffice lies Ii miles near
WashinE'on on, and after leaving that place
Pincy Mountain is to be climbed. Its
top is 3-s miles from Shade Postoffice
Warrenton, 1-2 miles away, is the next
town reached, and all the hard climbing
is over Then comes New Baltimore,
3S miles, Buckland, 1-2 miles; Grove
ton, 81 miles: Bull Run Bridge, 2 3-S
miles: Centervillc, + IA miles; Fairfax,
miles: Falls Church, 10 miles; and Wash
iDgton, miles.
1t viii pay anyone to try this poute,
though the ride is hard.

HOTEL At 'luRRY v

but the rest of the way Is particularly
fine and brings you to Pierce's Mill.
There are TWO hills after leaving the mill,
one short tn. other II little lunger. The
latter many persons would not care to
ride> Return TO tho city by the way of
Mount Pheasant,
OUT PAST TAKoMA.
For a ride OF about twenty or twenty
five miles a beautiful one can be taken
out through Takoma, past Cycle Cottage,
across Sligo Greek and on up the hill.
After crossing the Northwest branch there
is Il steep hill which most persons would
be willing to walk for the sake of the
rest OF the ride, " hich is beautiful.
A little further on is the beautiful hume
of W. W. Rapley. IL is situated on the left
of the road among some lovely old trees
At this point the ground is very high, and
the surrounding country for miles is very
picturesque The Colesvilie pike Is east
of the house, and this road joins the Brook
Vile pike short distance north of Silver
Springs. Return by way of Seventh street
to Brightwood, then take the Fourteenth
street road, or else keep on Seventh street
Fourteenth street is the best.
FOREST GLEN.
The ride to Forest Glen is lovely. Go out
past Silver Springs on the Brookville pike,
take the road to the left about two miles
from Silver Springs. This road is not very
good at the Beginning. but better further
down. The road passes the hotel and winds
around down 10 Rock Creek. BY follow
ing this road you reach Chevy Chase Lake.
The best way to return home after You
reach the circle is by way OF Tenleytown
over the Bell road. This is not a hilly
way.
There is fort back Of Soldiers Home
Which is worth the trip on account of the
lovely view. Take the first road to the
right after leaving Rock Creek Cemetery
This is For tTotten, and think therei Is some
talk of the government making driveway

THIS CHIN WHISTLES.
Loungers on the Avenue Entertained
hx a Weird Snund.

Dy NeiTu Sounu-
They stood ON Four-and-a- street in
the shadow of the Colonization building.
II was nearly midnight and there was little
noise except that from n occasional pass
ing cable train or the rumble OF cab.
Some one was heard whistlng. All
ceased talking and stopped to listen The
sound came from up the Avenue. II must
have, been at the other end of the long
block, near the crossing of Sixth street
The whis0I her was approaching andthe sound
grew louder as the seconds passed
1t was Il remarkable whistle Now lt
would be loud and shrill. Then it would
crow softer. Occasionally there would
come a bar as if from a Liszt symphony, II
sucb a thing could be whistled- Again
there would be Il strain, evidently from
u popular ditty
6rtener the sound would roll in fret
f,Il uSmelodic waves. There was no uuuo1
about this. At all times the sounds were
peculiar. A great deal Of the time they
were weird. Some OF them were even ui-
human.
All of the time the whistling was grow
ing more distinct. The whistler was ap-
preaching.
soon a shuffiing was heard. 1t was
irregular at first because the whlsthns
waves sometimes engulfed IL. But hoe
for long. The soft, swIshing noise became
n thing III ltSeii- anu was % "'pttN' -
the whistling 1t was not IN time TO tue
whistliur. 1t was Il steady. monotonous
scrnn,ne OH the sidewalk 1t was made
by feet.
The whistler had reached the corEer.
Every member Of the group looked at him.
He neither turned to the night nor to
the left. A loose blue blouse fell from
the shoulders and was crumpied only where
two hands entered the pockets or PAIR
of loose pantaloons.
A oueue Of coarse. black hair hung from
bene,th a black hat. Sandals ON the feet
made the seraping, swishing noise. The
whistler passed on, and the sounds he
rad hruuCht with him died as gradually
as they had come.
That is the first time in my hfe thas
! ever saw a wbistling Chinaman, said
one of the party at the corner before tho
fellow had disappeared.
