Electric Bicycle Light.

A st. Louis inventor has patented a
device by means of which a bicycle
rider may furnish himself with an
electric headlight, the necessary cur
rent being generated by the revolution
of the wheels of the machine. A gov
ernor is provided which keeps the cur
rent substantially uniform, SO that the
light does not die out If the speed IL
reduced, or blaze too brilliantly when
the speed IS increased. BY throwing
the shaft that rotates the armature into
gear as darkness comes on, the wheel
man at once provides himself with a
light; but of course he has to work for
1t, as It is his own muscles that form
the source Of the energy from which
the electric current is developed.

are new, with dressy bodices of sheer
materials.
Russian green cloth Is smart for the
spring walking costume, especially il
worn with a cape G. black tafteta silk
lined with green.
Holly berry wrsaths with rich. glossy
green leaves are economical and sty-
lish garniture for round hats, as no
other trimming is required.
The revived fashion Of trimming
skirts has brought into play velvet rib
bon in broader widths than we have
been seeing the last few seasons.
Blouse sleeves, with a certain ele-
gance of shape, are chosen for waists,
which are designed to replace cloth
waists through the warm weather.
Pale yellow organizes with lunches
of purple flowers are considered most
exclusive. They are made up over yell

tanned in sack placed in an old box
that stood by the foot of the bed where
lay the sick mother. The upper part
of the shanty, under the sloping board
roof, was utilized as a storage place for
old dunnage and rubbish. One night
the father was absent in the mine on
night work. BY some means the shanty
took fire. probably from the cracked
and defective chimney. Carmen awoke
to find that the roof was afire and
sparks dropping down.
Springing up, she loudly cried tc
awaken her mother and Tommy, but
the little boy became frightened and
hid his head beneath the covers of his
bed. Carmen sprung to lift him from
his bed when she saw the shower Of
sparks falling upon the powder box.
Recognizing the awful danger, she at

in her excitement she caught her foot
In the overhanging bedclothes and fell
to the floor, breaking her thigh bone.
Unable to rise the brave girl crawled tc

up, covered the box with her body. The

Lowlands. laundering across the great
Forth bridge, and its rival that spans
the broad waters of the Tay. She drew
near her home and the scenery became
more familiar: every spot she passed
was bright with memories of childhood.
The train slowed down and stopped.
She got out, left her luggage at the sta
ton, and walked towards her home.
In ten minutes she had reached the
house. It looked more cold and grey
than ever after the brilliance Of Lon
don. She hammered at the door, waited
for q minute or two, and then struck

for he was growing old; but the Bible
was always by him, and he loved to
interpret It in his own harsh fashion.
And then his daughter-but she had
gone.
She was young and beautiful. pant

Srateful-for love, triumph, Tor the
applause of thousands. She had resolv-
ed to be an actress and to have them
all. She was stifled in that ugly, square
house in Scotland. The dull unending
moors overwhelmed her. The cold grey
stones of her home crushed out all her
life. She longed for the glare and gilt
ter OF some great city. So one day she
disappeared, and James Gordon was left
alone with his Bible.
He uttered no reproach, but his grim
mouth seemed to close more firmly.
while the lines grew deeper on his rug
ged face. The neighbors were disap-
pointed at his apathy. They mention
ed his daughters name to him, in the
hope OF arousing some emotion or tor
rent OF abuse. But he merely half rose
from his chair and looked at them.
They were silent, and left him. SO q
year passed away, and he began to grow
weary of sky and moor. He sat all
day in his oaken chair, with his hand
on the Bible.
Meanwhile Ruth Gordon's name was
on everyones lips in London. Her
beauty had brought her all she had
ever dreamed, more than she could ever
have hoped. It was the last night of
the burlesQue wherein she made her
self famous. The house was crowded,
and she excelled herself in every song
and dance. At the close of the piece
the stage was covered with bouquets
from admirers-from men she knew and
men who wished to be known to her.
She stood amid q bank of flowers, and
bowed to the thunders of applause. She
was a queen, for that night at least.
Then, when the curtain had gone
down for the last time, she picked Up
one or two of the offerings and went
on to the dressing room. One she held
in her hand had attracted her by its
uncommon shape and condition. 1t was
q half-faded cross of white lilies. She
threw it contemptuously on her table,
and pressed the other-the gift of a

then picked it up, from sheer curios-

had ventured to offer it. She dropped

pleasure, then picked it up again and
kissed it passionately. The label read:

She left for Scotland that night. How
slowly the train crawled on through
the darkness! She could not sleep, and
she watched the lighted towns go by
