NOTES OF THE WHEEL

II is calculated that the products oi
the American cycle manufacturers will
reach 100000 marks this season, and
that over half of the wheels will be
shipped all over the world to compete
with foreign-made goods.
A woman of title at Windsor, Eng,
land, the other day attempted to set
tie a charge Of riding a bicycle on q
footpath by sending postal order for
five shillings to the policeman who
caught her. For this indiscretion she
was visited with double fine.
The competition of the sale of wheels
in England must be very great. One
cycle-making firm adyertises TO give an
insurance policy against death, disable
ment or loss of machine either by theft
or fire, with every machine sold. The
competition has not reached that state
in this country.

ADVERTISED FOR A BRIDE.
German Girl Wrote, and Found AT
Old Sweetheart.

About year ago there appeared in
n newspaper in this city the follow.

means would like To make the acquaint.

Address a. B. c., -"
A copy of the paper reached a house
in small town in Germany in which u
young girl, by the name of Katherine
Kline, waited upon the tables. Kather-
inc saw the advertisement, and in IA
spirit of fun decided to answer it un-
der an assumed name. Franz Becker.

was pleased with the girls style and de-
scription OF herself, and answered her
note, also under an assumed name. 1 he
couple corrcsponded forseveral months.
When Katherine received the photo
graph of Franz she thought she saw the
tace of an old friend of her early child
hood, as did Franz when he saw the
photograph of the girl.
Franz proposed marriage to the girl.
and he offered 10 send her passage
money. The girl agreed, and few
days ago she arrived. Each seemed
thundcrstruck when brought face to
face, for it developed that they had been
sweethearts in their childhood days.
They had no idea of previous acquajnt-
ance, on account of corresponding un-
der assumed names. Becker is owner
of one of the biggest shoe concerns in
Kansas City. He convinced the officials
of his business and social standing,
and, as he was a citizen and proved his
intentions, the girl was permitted TO
leave in his custody. The couple were
married, after which they went west
to the brides new home.-N. Y. Com,

Although the steamship that took
Kenyon to America was one of the
speediest in the Atlantic service, yet
the voyage was ineXpresslvely dreary

walking up and down the deck think.
ing about the other voyage of a few
months before. The one consolation
OF his present trip was its quicllness.
When he arrived at his hotel in New
York, he asked if there was any mes
sage there for him, and the cler'. hand
ed him an envelope, which he tore open.
1t was cable dispatch frcm Went
worth, with the words: "Longworth
at Windsor. Proceed to Ottawa imme-
diately. Get option renewed. Long
worth duping u.s."
John knitted his brows and won
dered where Windsor was. The clerk.
seeing his r"rpleXity, asked if he could
be of any'assistance.
81 have received this cablegram. but
don't quite understand it. Where is
Windsor?"
'Oh, that means the Windsor hotel
just up the street"
Kenyon registered, aad told the clerk
to assign him a room and send his bag
gage up to it when it came. Then he
walked out from the hotel and sought
the Windsor.
He found the colossal hostelry, and
was just inquiring of the clerk whether
Mr.. Longworth was staying there
when that gentleman appeared at the
desk and took some letters and his key.
Kenyon tapped him on the shoulder,
Young Longworth turned round
with more alacrity than he usually dis
played, and gare a long whistle of sur
prise when he saw whom il was.
I'm the name of all the gods,' he
cried, what are you doing hereP'
Then, before Kenyon could reply, he
said: "Come up to my room"
They went TO the elevator, rose q
few stories, and passed down an APP
parently endless hall, carpeted with
some noseless stuff that gave no echo
OF the football. Longworth put his key
into the door and opened it. They
entered large and pleasant room.
''Well," he said, 'this is surprise.
What is the reason of your being here?
Anything wrong in London?"
Nothing wrong so far as ! am aware.
