and as he emerged from the woods he
began to really enjoy his ride. He-w

grades made him puff, but at this he
smiled as he thought Of his rivals high

At last the lights of Valley Stream
cleaned ahead, and Jack wheeled into
the yard of the appointed 1oadhouse
Just as Vic was mounting to return.
''Good-by, jack" that worthy shout
ed. ''S'pose I'll see you later at the
club"
"Just ring when you get there" Jack
responded, ''I'll let you in.''
CHANGING at the clock as he entered,
Jack noted that it was 9:35. The pro-
prietor of the place knew both boys
and had heard Of the race from Vic. He
chatted pleasantly until two wheel
men, apparently well-to-do business
men of middle age, entered, inquiring
their way. They laughed and joked
about their predlcament in being out
night like that, having missed the
last train to the city.
Right after them came another BIZ
cyclist, who impressed Jack rather un-
favorably. He darted quick glance
at roll of bills one of the gentlemen
displayed in paying his bill. But
while the boy was taking a critical
survey of his wheel outside, the man
came out. got his machine, and rode off.
Jack purposely delayed starting a
little, as he didn't want the man for a
travelling companion. When he did
get off he was six minutes behind Vic.
but he had faith that he could eventual
~ catch up.
Jack now began to work in earnest.
He bent over on his wheel and ped
allied swiftly along the old Merrick road,
though the wind was now in his teeth
and the light Of his lantern flickered
ftfully.
Past Springfield he flew, and shortly
turned into Locust avenue, without
catching sight of Vic or the rough
looking stranger. He heard nothing
now but the whirr of his wheel and his
own hard breathing. He was bent on
winning the race.
Bump!

Then he ventured to stand UP. Atwig
cracking under his foot seemed to him
as loud as rifle report. There was a
moment of terrible suspense, and then
Jack heard something moving stealth
lily toward him in the bushes. ~. ."
That settled it. -.
His nerves tingling, the lad grasped
his wheel and half lifted, half pushed it
into the roadway. AS he sprang into
the saddle a missile of some kind whis-
tied by his ear. Then he pedalled des-
perately back along the road.
He heard long-drawn, peculiar cry
at his back-a signal of danger to the
man ahead. Jack bent desperately to
his work. He saw the lights of the ap-
preaching wheelmen, uttered warm
ing cry, and the next moment some
thing fell with a dull thud in front of
his wheel. There was crash; Jack
felt himself hurting through space;
then he struck the ground and rolled
over.
Dazed, he raised himself to his knee
in time to see dark figure leap toward
him with appraised hand. Instructive
ly the boy raised his arm to protect his
head, and thereby warded off blow
from some instrument much like
sandbag.
The wheelmen were now on the spot;
the highwayman sprang into the
woods and disappeared. Jack explained

Jack, though his face twitched with the

AS the gentlemen were warned and
were armed with pistols, they felt no
further fear of an attack. Jacks wheel
was picked up, somewhat twisted, but
he found that he could ride it, holding
j on by one hand; so the trio proceeded
cautiously on their way. The highway
men had undoubtedly fled, for they en-
countered no opposition.

AMERICAN TOURISTS IN EGYPT.
Why They Went to the State Bal

Why They Went to the State Ball
Given by the Khedive.
Official circles in Cairo have been
chuckling over an incident connected
with the state ball given at Abdin pal
ace by his highness the khcdive, the
facts of which leaked out of the bureau
Of the grand master of ceremonies and
found their way into the native news
papers: Three weeks ago the grand
master sent word TO each diplomatic
representative in the capital that the in
vitations this year would be limited to
members of the diplomatic corps, Off
Gals of the Egyptian government, for
eign princes, dukes, marqnises, counts,
senators, etc., and that tourists could
not be asked.
The grand master probably had never
thought how this message would sound
to the representatives of a republic like
the United States of America. But the
message was ''official,'' and for time it
looked AS if that important section Of
winter visitors, the Americans, would
be entirely overlooked. But the Amer
iNoA ulP1oL11ClC dSCuC auV COuSu1 Scl-
era}, Frederick C. Penfeld, thought
differently. In consequence, polite
note was addressed by him to the pal
ace, stating that his country had no
titles of nobility, but as his compatriots
were all sovereigns - ranking with
kings and quecns--hew would like to have
as many as possible asked.
It is said there was a conference of
the authorities at the palace, at which
the status of Mr.. Penfeld's country peo-
pie was discussed, the result being that
twice as many as ever before were 'com-
manded'' to attend the ball, and each
was heartily received by the khedive,
whose princely eyes twinkled as he
greeted each well-dressed. sovereign
from the states.A It was decided coup
for Mr.. Penfeld, and approved his abil-
ity always to do the right thing at the
right time. The presence of 40 Ameri-
cans at a state ball, even in the land of
the pyramids, was a novelty. - Cairo

Elephant Nurses In Siam.

The W omem of Siam trust their chill
dren to the care of elephant nurses,
and it is said the trust is never be-
trayed. The elephant, not being sus-
ceptible to the charms of the saunter-
ing policeman, nor the social claims of
its friends and relatives, is consequent
~ able to devote it's entire attention to
its charge. The babies play about the
huge feet of the elephants, who are
very careful never to hurt the little
creatures. And if danger threatens
the sagacious animal curls the child
gently up in it's trunk and swings it up
and out of harms way upon its own
back.-N. Y. Sun.

THE BEGGAR TAUGHT THE KING.

One day a king, in irritated mood,
r. Grew angry at his minister of state,
And spoke and acted in a way quite rude
Ard not at all becoming one so great.
The minister was vexed, yet was afraid
To vent his passion on the ill-bred king;
But afterward, to ease his mind, he made
His secretary wroth at some sharp fling.
The secretary cooled his temper by
Berating one who served about the house;
The servant, angered, dared not make re-
ply,
And took the scolding quiet as mouse.
But raved and swore a moment later when
He found a beggar at the palace gata
~eBe off," he cried, land don't you dare
again
Come here, or you will meet sorry fate"
The beggar smiled, but not an angry
A smile TRANSPORTING his careworn face;
The servant, softened, stood and unused
awhile,
And marveled at the mans forgiving
grace.
When next the secretary sharply spoke
TIE servant met him in a better mood,
And in the secretary's breast awoke
The consciousness that he was harsh anG
rude.
And so, in turn, he answered pleasantly
When next the minister INDUCED a sneer;
The minister was quick his fault to see,
And frankly owned it, like noble peer
And then the king, sour tempered and still
veXed,
Rehuked once more his minister of state,
The latter's unoffended mien perplexed
And sobered off the royal potentate.
He thanked the statesman for the lesson
taught,
And vowed that it should last him for
awhile;
But neither king nor statesman ever
thought
They'd learned their lesson through a
beggar's smile!

GEN. CUSTER'S HORSE.
Dead Several Years, but Items About
Him Still Flourish.

Dead Several Years, but Items About
Him Still Flourish.
Almost every day newspaper readers
see paragraph telling how the govern
ment takes care of old Comanche, Gus
ter's horse, the only survivor of the
Custer massacre. The paragraph al
ways tells how, by special order of the
military authorities, Comanche is pro-
vided with comfortable stall, fitted out
especially for him, in South Dakota.
No one, so the story goes, is allowed to
ride him and he is not permitted to do
any work whatever.
Then, as one writer put it feelingly a
few days ago: "Riddled with bullets
and SCARED by saber wounds, his body
speaks eloquently of the perilous duty
once performed in his 20 years of serv-
ice under the government. He will go
down to history holding about asrproud
place as that accorded to the gallant
black charger that once carried Gen.
Sheridan to the field in time to save
the battle, 20 miles away
Once this all might have been said
with every indication of truth. The par
agraph, however. with various additions
and changes has made the grand
rounds just as regularly as the good old
sea serpent story. Still there must be an
end to all things, and the Comanche
paragraph ought to end after this let
ter:
II mail you to-day picture of Comanche
as he appeared In life. We do not possess
any photograph of him as he appeared in
his stall. He died from old age at Fort
Riley, Kan, November Z, 1891, and was 81
years old. He belonged to the Seventh
regiment of United States cavalry, and was
cared for with great tenderness by the
regiment Upon his death he was skinned
and mounted by Prof. Dyche, of this uni
versity, and placed in our museum
~ ...-,-z "F'. H. SNOW, j

Thus it will be seen that, according
to the newspapers, Comanche, though
dead, still liyeth. Perhaps it is because

Jack uttered an angry ejaculation. In
passing over railroad track his light
had been Jared out.
"Well, I've got no time to light it
now" he muttered and worked the
faster.
Now he caught sight of faint light
ahead. 'That must be Victim over
hauling him!'' he thought, joyfully.
''The man had no light!"
He was approaching the point where
the Rockaway road intersects when
the chain on his wheel jerled and
creaked ominously.
"Fate's against mel" growled Jack.

He sprang lightly to the ground,
pushed his wheel over against a tree,
the trunk of which was hidden among
the bushes, and bent down to apply the
lubricant. He was busily engaged when
he was startled by hearing low voices
proceeding from around the bend, and
presently a man came cautiously into
view.
After gazing anxiously down the
road the man uttered to his concealed
companions:
"That other kid ought to be along.
We don't want him around when we
hold up those fellows"
"Weil, how're we goin' to know who's
who?" was the gruff return.
'I'll tell yer. Pm goin' down the
road a bit. If the gents pass first I'll
signal yer with my dark lantern an
you do the trick. If the kid is first
I'll do nothin' an you do likewise

The man approached and Jacks

But he passed on, and as his footsteps
died away there was silence, broken
only by the soughing of the wind
through the treetops.
Jack was in fever Of excitement.
Turn either way and he would be con-

midnight marauders. 'sYet I can't
