the corridor.
After he had breakfasted and sent the
man away he FASTENED below to the
place designated 10y the princess. She
was waiting for him under the palm
trees and was so disguised that he
would not have known her but for her
low, amused laugh as he was about to
pass her.

metal wheel the machine rose like

out of the window. The blue haze of
the fifth hour of the morning was break
ing over everything, and as the domes,
pinnacles and varicolored roofs fell
away in the beautiful light the breast
of the Englishman heaved with delight
full emotions. Bernardino was watching
his face with gratified smile.
"You like Alpha?" she said half anx-

FROM MONTANA BY WHEEL.
Lieut.. Moss Report of the Army
Bicycle Corps Journey.

Lieut.. J. A. Moss, Twenty-fifth Infantry,
in command of the Army Bicycle Corps,
has sent to Acting Adjutant General Breck
preliminary report of his trip from Fort
MisSoula to st. Louis. The distance was
1902 miles, and it was covered in
thirty-four days by actual travel, an aver
age of 6.3 miles an hour. The lieutenant
says that except while in the sand hills
of Nebraska, the health of the company
was exceedingly good, and none of the
soldiers was in any way disabled or made
sore from riding.
Bad water was encountered In Wyoming
and South Dakota, and the men were
sometimes compelled to travel as far as
thirty miles without being able to get
water fit to drink. The men were COM
PEELED also TO ride miles without anything
to eat, and on one occasion, says Lieut.
Moss, they rode forty two miles on a cup
of weak coffee and a small piece of burnt
bread
Bo; b bicycles and tires held out well, and
the corps reached st. Louis in almost per
fecu realth, one man only, Private Jones,
Company II, being obliged to turn back
THE greater part of the trip" says the
lieutenant, was made under most trying
circumstances, through mud, water, rain,
sand, over mountains, bad roads, fording
streams. ETC., etc., the whole time living
on the regulation field and travel rations,
cooked in improvised utensils"

say that this end could be attained by a
return of the old system OF free per-
mits Under this plan the police would
have all the information necessary and
could exercise ali necess airy control
Mrs ID. B. Street, president of the board
of directors of the Methodist Home, is very
decided in her opinion on the subject And
while she thinks that the renonme nda ton
OF Maj Moore, If enacted into law and put
into operation, would be an injustice TO
those who devote their time and energy to
the success of religious and charitable
enterprises, still there is another view
to take of the matter. Often, Mrs Street
says, IL is not the lawn parties or those
connected with them W no create a nuisance,

yearly on the lawn at the home, but Mrs
Street could not imagine of it interfering
With the convenience or comfort OF anyone
The Rev. Charles n. Butler, pastor of
heilar Memorial Lutheran Church, feels
that III is wrong TO impose license on
parties or fetes gotten up for religious
or Charitable purposes. He does not, how
ever, think that the suggestion is aimed
at the churches or any Of the affiliated
sOSteties HulSI raise revenue Ill this Way,
but at those who take advantage of the
privilege for private gain and abuse it.
In lawn fetes and parties, like all things
else, he says, there is fraud, but he don't
think the innocent should be made to
suffer for the acts of the wicked. That
the police authorities might have more
definite knowledge of the presence of such
entertainments, he thinks il better to 90
back to the old plan of issuing free per-
nlits.
Mrs. N. W. Carter, secretary of Trinity
2. E. Church Aid Society, is emphatically
opposed TO imposing a license on enter
tainInents Of this nature. She thinks it the
duty OF the police, whether the parties and
fetes are lie ensed or not, to suppress them
If the circumstances warrant them in doing
so. 1t is their duty, and 1t will hardly help
the matter to impose a license which the
orderly. as well as the disorderl win be
compelled to pay.
Mrs. S. II. MarUfn, superintendent of the
Woman's Home, characterized the pro posi-
tion to licens such entertainments as out.
rageous. The remedy is to suppress nuis
ances wherever found and not to tax peo.
