"A cripple, his left leg being missing almost
from the hip joint. From the nature of his
affection, IL would seem almost impossible for
him TO keep his balance upon his wheel, and
yet he not only managed to hold his seat
gracefully. but with his one good leg he
pushed the pedal in great fashion. He was, in
fact. scorcher. IL was his habit to cruise
around Broad street until wheelman who
looked "touchable" came along He would
overhaul such man and make the usual plea
for assistance. He picked out such one ut
Wharton street and started after him. The
intended victim looked around and noted the
cripple's appearance with a smile of mingled
aston ishment and amusement. On the pur-
suer's breast hung his trade mark, large
placard reading: Help the poor cripple"
The other man put on extra speed and start
ed TO scorch away. The cripple also smoked
up," and In moment q race was on. Away
they flcw square after square, the cripple
gradually gaining on the other, until at
Moore street he was abreast of his quarry.
Tho latter was laughing so heartily that he
exhausted all mis- wind. Can z you help me
along n little 2" asked the cripple Here's
dime, said the other; you've earned IT, :"
The cripple thanked him, pocketed tho coin
and went of to look for more victims. .-Phila-
