SHE SAVED HERSELF.
And Broke the Impact of That Wild and
Rushing Cyclist.


A lady protected herself against the
rushing advance of % cyclist in Bromp-
ton road, London, in an original and
commendable fashion, says the London
Telegraph. The cyclist was rushing
along at his best pace and the lady was
crossing the roadway. Instead OF maxi
ing q detour to avoid her, the man sim
ply rung his bell and rushed on without
abatement of speed, considering that he
had done his duty to society.
Pedestrians on the footpath and bus
men on their perches saw that a col
lision was inevitable. So did the lady,
who braced herself for the ordeal and
resolved on offensive tactics. Giving
her body-not by any means that Of a
pigmy--a rapid swing, she brought the
stronger part of her figure into CONTACT
with the front wheel of the machine
and the bicyclist himself and sent them
both sprawling into the roadway
Then, giving her skirts another swing,
just to prove that she had suffered no
damage. she finished her journey across
the road and turned around and
laughed with others at the unhappy
cyclist az he picked up himself and the
disiecta membra of his once perfect ma
chine. Hemade hisway to the curbstone.
where he sat down to contemplate the
damage, and finally put the thing on his
shoulder and carried it away.

She had apparently walked off her i'll
humor. Her checks were flushed, her
lips smiling, as she laid her hands is
Johns outstretched ones.
"And what made you come to-day 2"
she asked, taking small bunch of vio-
lets from her waist belt and fastening
them in his coat.

Tie seized Elsa's busy little hand.
Why, what have you done with it?"
Elsa hesitated, glanced round, and
loolcedrather alarmed. d. must have

John was growing impatient, when she
returned with the ring in her hand.

why, Elsa, you look as white as
Sheet I'm not bit vexed about it,
said John, as he took the ring from
her shaking hand. Elsa put her arms
around his neck and laid her face on
his shoulder. He could feel the rapid
beating of her heart.
II felt so frightened" she murmured.

"And even if it were," said John,
smiling, at is not worth the roses in

Certainly"
With his staring eyes fixed straight
before him, he began fumbling IN his
pockets. From one Of them he finally
produced a small leather case. The eyes
of the girls followed his movements
with q terror far more deadly than any
which had before possessed them. Mol.
lies pupils dilated still more; the man
had drawn something from the case.

"I shall follow your directions close

He disappeared from sight at once.
Angelas nerves broke down completely
in the sudden relation of the strain.
"Let us call the porter. Quick, quick"
Even as she spoke the train-which
still had to make up for lost time-was
in motion. For some awful instants
the girls eyes were riveted in agony on
the door.

through the hall, fly, with luggage,
drew up at the door. The interchanged
greetings, Hello, professor!" well,
