There is one amusing feature about wheel
iding that all old riders, and a good many
,ew ones, must have noticed. That IT, the
way q moderately proficient rider will carry
m . conversation with some one behind him
without really knowing who that some one
may be. A moderately proficient rider
sn't clever enough TO turn his head to look
backward, and so he talks right on in the
lark.

: bothers the new riders. just ahead Of
he vheelman in question, who was riding
at a leisurely rate, was a stout lady, mounted
IN n new bike. Halfway up the incline
the wheelman was astonished to hear her
call out:
Coming, dear?"
The wheelman didn't answer. He felt
sure the inquiry couldn't be to him, and he
kept silence.
AN out of breath, dears" she called
,Eain.
And again the wheelman made no reply.
Don't be discouraged" she cheerily
'houted. You'll get there by and by, dear.

The wheelman thought SO too, but he
made no mention OF the fact. .
Does il tire DOR little armies so muchee?"
continued the stout lady.
That was too much for the wheelman. He
put on steam and passed the lady. As he
whirled by she caught sight of his smiling
countensnce.
"Oh, | beg your pardon" she cried, and
narrowly averted a tumble.
When the wheelman had gone a little
further he looked back over his shoulder
and saw u lank young fellow, with fuzzy
little side whiskers, toi'ine YEARLY up the
hill.
And he feels pretty sure that was dear.

They had been utterly blue and hope
less on Floyd's account since his trans
fer TO New Orleans, and this letter was
a revelation. Esther took it up to her
mothers room and strove 10 make her
understand its purport, "Katesie" sit
ting silently, and. at first, scornfully
by. Mrs. Walton's faculties seemed too
dazcd to follow, and Esther had TO re-
iterate and explain. Then the doctor
came, and the hale old gentleman's
eyes filed as he read. THAT young fell
low is a trump" said he, referring TO
Lambert; and he, too, bent over the
gentle invalid and whispered hope and
courage. Later, when Kate was wanted.
it was found she had quilted the room.
Esther discovered her after consider
able search, shivering in a room up
stairs. She wouldn't talk, but that
evening came to tea.
For several days Miss Kate contrived
to hold aloof from the general CONVEX
%sation, but it was a hard fight against
every natural impulse. Before the end
of the week her resolution had failed
her utterly, and time and again her
ready tongue had challenged Lambert
to debate; and now, to her chagrin, 1t
was he who declined. When formally
presented to "My sister, Miss Walton"
by Mrs. Scroggs, the young gentleman
had bowed very low and had s~triyen to
be civil. As they sat facing each other,
and only the width of the table apart,
her downcast eyes and determined ST.
lence proved embarrassing. even though
long, curving, sweeping iashes and
flushed cheeks appeared, perhaps, to
dangerous advantage. saw pshaw!"
said Cousin Bart that evening, as he

fear that he had offended the damsel in
the butter business, Just you pay no
attention to that child for a day or
two, an see how quick she'll come
round. She just wants to be huffy.
She'll be hawbly cut up when she finds
you don't notice her" Potts had not a
little worldly wisdom when he wasn't
drinking, and since his installation as
eN-oflicio head of the house he hadn't
touched a drop. Lambert was begin
ming to like him very much, but
couldn't induce him to come over TO
camp. 81 can't stand hat captain of
yours" was his sole explanation.
From frigid silence on Katesie's part
to occasional m~onosyllable and thence
TO brief and caustic comments on the
remarks of her sister and cousin the
transition was easy; but now that Lam
bert addressed no remarks whatever TO
her, yet chatted smilingly with the
others, the girls position became ex-
asperating. She was willing enough, at
the start, to keep at wide distance, but
that anybody should presume to hold
her there was a very different matter;
in fact, simply intolerable. Esther

noted in silent amusement how the girl
began to display unaccustomed So
licitude as to the fit of her gown, the
effect of such poor little efforts at or
namentation as her simple store of lace
or ribbon afforded. Such quaint, old
fashioned bows and ~fiounces as came
forth, such queer combinations of shade
and color! Esther caught her more
than once glancing up shyly from under
the long lashes and looking furtively at
her vis-a-vis, for Lambert. with malice
prepense and aforethought, began tell
ing Mrs. Scroggs of the bellies and
beauties Of last summer at the Point,
and ont evening when the verbal block
ade had lasted perhaps three days he
turned to Esther as they were rising
from the table-and if it wasn't taking a
mean advantage of a defenseless foe,
what would be?
IT brought over these two to show

some carte-de-visite photographs from

who vas considered the prettiest girl

coming to her than evening dress. And
this is Miss Torrance. / think l told

Aud Katie Walton was halted at the
threshold as she would have left the
room. What woman could resist a peep

the day-a fashion these fair southern
sisters had never seen. and had only

fully refrained. She flushed, stopped,
bit her lip, turned and fairly ran up
stairs, but came down five minutes
later. as Lambert knew she would,

yearning over her, called her sister 10

their friends anyhow! "Ah don't see
anything pretty in that one" was
Katesie's prompt comment And All
couldn't be hi-uhd to weah n gown like
that" But Lambert felt that he had

Bart had ever been, to account Cor the
supplies which he began 10 fetch from
