And the Startling News Was Not Known
putil Afterwnrd.

A cyclist whom we will call Baxter
was strolling along the avenue when be
noticed pretty girl in neat cycling
costume standing by tandem. She had
her back turned to him, but he saw she
wore trim costume, had neat ankle
and q nicely arranged lot of hair. Bax.
ter is very particular about girls
hair. This girl looked so attractive that
he paused. There was something pa
thetic in her attitude, he thought. Was
she waiting for a cavalier to join her
on the tandem? A wild idea entered
Baxter's head. He would do daring
thing. He walked up to the girl. She
turned a frank, merry face on him as
he approached.
Pardon me-" he laughingly said,
"but are you looking for an accompa-
nist?" and he pointed to the tandem.
"Well," she smilingly answered,
'now that you mention it, I guess 1
am"
A moment later they were whirling
up the street. When it began to grow
dark, they turned back.
my tandem?" cried the girl "Why,
it ism t my tandem"
"Not your tandem?" shouted Baxter.
"Whose is it, then?"
"Why," said the girl, "I thought it
was yours.
Heavens, mol" groaned Baxter.
"But you acted as If 1t was yours, ;"
said the girl.
"What shall we do?" moaned the
girl.
"Take it back" said Baxter.
So they rode back in silence, and
when they were about block away the
girl said:
~ guess I'll stop here"
Leaving the tandem as near to the
place where he saw it as he could, he
scuttled away in the darkness. Cycling

Men who pioneer the way In new parts

or house without tools, make palatable

A story illustrative of luck: Banker Raj

The betting before the draw was heavy. All
fell out but the banker and Baldwin The
latter sized his opponent up for three aces
and was almost convinced that the banker
had him beaten. Baldwin hesitated whether
he should take two cards or one. He finally
drew one, and had gone in with three
queens Ralston had three aces, as the
former had supposed. Baldwin took up
his hand after the draw and "skinned"
the cards in an anxiety that he had never
felt before He had drawn the queen of
spades, womans face that had never
looked SO sweet in all the course of his life
as he characterized IL.
There was $22, 900 In the pot Ralston
had drawn a pair of jacks, making an ace
full. His face betrayed his luck. Bald.

1t was ordered by the fraternity Of
Mount Olivet at Palermo, the brothers
wishing to have specimen Of the cele-
brated Italian painters work hanging In
their monastery. The picture is remark
able for the truth with which the painter
has portrayed the suffering Of the Saviour
as he bends beneath the hsavy load
Raphael painted IL In Rome. where he
carried out SO much OF his work, and the
picture was carefully packed and dis
patched by sea To Sicily. During the short
voyage storm arose, and the wind and
waves became so violent that the vessel
was wrecked.
The crew and passengers persisted, and
no trace of the ship or her cargo was seen
again, save the picture, which, floating in
les case on the water, was washed ashore
and discovered by the expectant monks.
On the case being opened 1t was found
that the sea water had in no way injured
the divine beauty of the painting, which
was hung up at Palermo amid great re-
joicing and thanksgiving at Its miracu-
