ladies and gentlemen walk around the bike
The wheel stood on the crosswalk for ten
minutes or more, when well dressed man
came along, and, like those ahead Of him,
stepped around the wheel, but he asked tne
young man to move the wheel, and also asked
him IL he did not know any better than to
leave his bike in such place. The young
man became impudent and asked the gentle
man IL il was any of his business, and the
gentleman told him IL was, and that he had
better move the wheel. After the young man
had eyed the gentleman he came to the con-
clusion that he had better not bo sassy any
more" and he moved the machine. The
gentleman, who was none other than Detec-
tive Parker walked mp street n short distance
and met an acquaintance, and then some one
Informed the young man who had ordered
him TO move his wheel, and he was not long
in jumping on his bike and riding away.
