The Price of Bicycles.

y
cling season it is the fashion for the
manufacturers of wheels TO announce
with "A great flourish Of trumpets that
the price of their product will remain
at such and such u figure and that they
never cut under any circumstances.
This is all very pretty, but experience
has demonstrated that SCI many persons
are attracted to the manufacture of BIZ
cycles by the rumors of the enormous
fortunes made in the business that the
cutting does in reality begin before the
season has got very old This does not
apply to few Of the old established
firms, who are able to hold their wheels
if they do not succeed III selling them
at the list figures, but TO those who
have not sufficient capital to make up
for the lack Of reputation of the, in
most cases. unknown wheel, and before
they are able to get recognition for their
product they are often compelled TO
make sweeping reductions TO keep the
sheriff from the door.
A comparatively large dealer told me
the other day that the cutting Of prices
for 1897 had already begun and that he
had purchased lot of very good wheels
at n figure at which he felt confident
the makers must have lost good deal
of money, but they needed the funds
and he took advantage of their necessi-
ties. The same dealer is authority for
the prediction that the present season
will see more of this sort of thing than
the two last seasons nut together.

The Bands Benefit Last Thursday Night
Was All Right.
In Old Madrid at Jesmer's opera
house last Thursday evening was a
most excellent entertainment. The
play is nicely written, giving excellent
opportunities for the principals to
show their talent, the numerous spark
ling situations being excellently exc
cuted by Messrs. Jones and Marble.
The audience was frequently convulsed
with laughter and from the moment
the curtain went up to the very end
the auditors we're kept deeply inter
ested. If the band boys continue to
secure s. such attractions it will not be
long before they will have q strong
hold on the amusement loving public.
The band itself made its first public
appearance on the street a few minutes
before the show and those who heard
its v we're greatly pleased with the
progress it has made.

PEELED any of the peasantry to approach

the mansion after sunset for any pur-
pose, however urgent.
The counts arrival was anXiously
looked for by all, except M. Pierre, who
for reasons of his own was extremely
delighted at the unexplained delay. But
neither the count, nor any courier or
message came
'Felicie," said the countess, energet-
icnlly one afternoon when the whole
household had shown signs of democrat

find some means to lay the ghost or
discover his mortality. l begin to de-

Pierre is either purposely Indifferent or
egregiously stupid. Have you courage
to accompany me on a secret visit to
the Little Forest? We must work so
adroitly that no one will know we are
absent from the chateau"
Felicie looked up into the calm cour-
ageous face with smile, although she
shivered a little and turned pale.
