THE BICYCLE IN AUSTRIA.
There Is Debt of Gratitude Owing
to Countess Won KielmRnsegg
from WhecIman.

Adopted with enthusiasm by Amer
leans, discussed for years IN France,
and combated in Germany by Emperor
William H., bicycling met in no country
with so much opposition as it did in
Austria. The authorities for a long
time remained hostile to it, subiecting
the enjoyment of the sport to draconian
rules and sparing its devotees no sort
of annoyance. To get permission to
ride in the streets of Vienna the cy-
clists were obliged to undergo a pre-
liminary examination, and, in the pres
ence of jury, prove that they were able
to pass through the public streets
without being dangerous or trouble
some to pedestrians. They were com
PEELED to carry numbers larger than
that of the hacllmen. They were for
hidden to travel through many streets,
and in the localities which were open to
them notices were posted at each cor.
ner commanding them to 60 slow at
one place TO put en- the brake at anoth-
er, and. in some places, to dismount and
trundle their machines.
The passion of few titled women foI

The shaft from the sauitariun to the

by the most consummate mechanical

more thought and ingenuity than all

THE LOYAL SOUTH.
The Splendid Proof Given In This
War Was Not Needed to
Proclaim II,

A veteran statesman was in Detroit
few days ago and did little talk
ing that it might be well for all the
people TO hear.
"lf there's one thing that makes me
wearier than another, it is this con-
slant talk about the loyalty Of the
south 1t creates the impression that
you people up here are surprised, and
that we were under suspicion. OF

backbone. Let anyone who has linger-
ing doubts on the subject go down there

Then she broke down and sobbed
piteously.
Mr. and Mrs Hendricks walked apart.
This is q revelation" said Hem
d. lxs. "The woman is a clairvoyant.
Now know how Endicott got his in
formation. ltris fortunate for us that
VIC have possession Of her Treat her
tenderly and wen test her power"
Mrs. Hendricks did not understand
the full significance of his words--but
the young woman was conveyed to a
comfortable room and all the resources
of the establishment used to soothe and
reassure her She remained, however,
taciturn and heart broken for two
days. All efforts to make her eat or
converse were of little avail On the
third day, it was reported that she was
dying. Hendricks saw her in COM
pany with DR., Pellissier, who had first
called her somnambulist. This
cratic Frenchman, whose after eX-
PLOTS so inextricably confused genius
and madness, instantly pronounced il
a case of trance and was delighted be-
yond measure. Here the case was left
in his hands as other and more urgent
events were demanding Hendricks at
tention.
But the doctor made a discovery
which proved of great Importance sub.
sequently. One morning he found the
woman who was in trance condition
clasping something in her hand II
proved to be small packet with
! human hair in it. Two more of these
packets containing hair of other color'
were afterwards found in her bed by
Mrs, Hendricks.

por, never coming into the daylight,
which he said blinded him.
A week after the catastrophe, about
seven O'Clock in the evening, as Mr..
and Mrs Hendricks, with two or three
other persons, were sitting on the
western balcony of the sanitarium, the
figure of woman suddenly appeared
against the dark masses of shrubbery
about forty feet from the house. She
seemed to have taken form at that
spot. Nobody saw her previous APP
proach, and her slender and graceful
figure was clad in some kind of light
material which caught all there was of
the departing light and made her look
exceedingly phantom-lilSe All the
persons in the balcony saw her at the
same moment, and one of them uttered
a little exclamation as if an apparition
had appeared.
She came toward the group in a glib
ing manner, but perfectly erect and as
she got nearer they all saw that her
eyes were fixed on vacancy and that
she was extremely pallid. One of the
gentlemen exclaimed in French, la
Somnambule," and Hendricks, who had
risen, leaned over the rail and spoke to
her. He unconsciously used the tone
of one calling sleeper.
Halo, there" he cried.
The woman, who was about twenty
feet away raised one of her long arms
and pointed at Hendricks. It was a
phantom-lil1e and significant action.
The next moment she uttered an
audible moan and fell down upon the
grass.
Hendricks jumped over the rail, ran
to her, and with some difficulty picked
her mp. She was carried upon the bal
cony limp and silent and laid upon a
settee where there was a rug, and the
group gathered around her i'm pity and
wonder. Her garments were soiled and
torn as if by contact with the bushes.
But in spite Of her somewhat haggard
face, she was singularly beautiful,
Some invalid who has got astray,
said Mrs Hendricks with pity.
The girl raised herself on her elbow
and stared at thc place and the people
until her eyes rested on Hendricks. and
then in a soft, clear voice, she said.

CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS.
The MongoIiRns Have Some Strange
Ideas of Economy, POlitcness
and Gratitude.

The spirit of economy in the Chinese
race transcends all that can be mag
ined The smallest particle of matteris
utilized The old cast-off account book
of the merchant is cut into pieces and
oiled to serve instead of glass in win
dows or lanterns. A coolie who has a
six hours march with a heavy burden
will return to his point of departure
without having broken his fast, in order
10 save the two cents his breakfast
would have cost away from home.
Nothing is more curious than to see
them eat, although, with their famous
cRopsticks, they do not perform all the
wonderful feats generally supposed.
Everything is served them in bowls, or
saucers, and with the chopsticks they
raise the pieces of meat or fish to the
mouth, with sufficient grace. Each one
has bowl of rice, which he holds near
his lips, and, with the aid of the chop
stick, he pushes the contents into his
mouth It is very curious TO see them
pick up with their chopsticks the grains
of rice that fall on the ground. The
children are taught this art from their
earliest years; nothing must be lost, not
eyenthe smallest grain. What remains
of the repast is put carefully away, to
be served at another meal. Their dogs
and cats are not overfed, as The scraps
from the table are rare.
Europeans regard polteness as an eX-
| e 81 Toe Of bnu ~
which render the person who desires to
be polite agreeable to those with whom
he is thrown. The Chinese look upon
the matter from an entirely different
standpoint. The same sentiment which
accords importance to the preservation
of dignity regulates his actions as re-
CARDS politeness. Here is an example
of their politeness; A Chinese, arrayed
in his most beautiful costume, who pre-
scented himself at a house, disturbed a
rat who was enjoying himself in a jar
of oil The rat, in his fight, overturned
the jar upon the visitor, whose dress
was ruined. While the unfortunate Wis
itor was still pale with rage, his host
entered the apartment, and, after the
usual salutation, the visitor explained
his misadyenture: "As ! entered your
honorable apartment, had the misfor-
tune to alarm your honorable rat
, which, in taking fight, overturned your
honorable jar of oil upon my miserable
] and insignificant clothing, which eX

CHAPTER Y.
[CoPYmGHT, 1921 /

CHAPTER Y.
The visit of Fenning and his mys-
terious companion to Laran resulted
in way that neither he nor the visi-
tor could have predicted. Hendricks
met him in the most gentlemanly man
ner, told him to make himself at home
in the hotel for that was what the
sanitarium was frequently called;
gave him to understand that he would
have a talk with dim and fix the mat
terup satisfactorily when he found a
good opportunity. He even sent him
down into the workshops, and treated
him SO Hospitality that the man was
outwitted at the start.
He had not been in the cave haE an
hour when he encountered the captain,
who very seldom left it, but occupied
all his time in playing cribbage and
drinking rum. That parsonage greeted
him with a sailors cordiality and
swore that it did his blasted mole's
eyes good to see a salt water man I'M
derground.
The captain evidently knew him, for
he called him Jack Endicott, as tough
and tight forecastle man as ever ran
a blockade or drank a pint of rum be-
tween watches.
Whatever else Endicott may have
been he was not proof against the
temptation Of good liquor and an ire
sponsible life and he never before en-
countered liquor quite so good as the
captains, whose wcll-stocled buffet in
his cabin made a seaman's eyes gloat.
Whether it was part of Hendricks
scheme to disarm Endicott in this way,
is not positively known. But he had
told Fenning before that gentleman
left Laran that he could safely leave
the man with him.
II want" he said, "to know how he
read that telegram"
-Four days passed and Endicott had
only seen Hendricks among the men al
work upon the furnace and electrical
works, but the captain told him every

an almost continuous stream of black
smoke from its chimney stack, held a

filed up on rum and both of them set
out to see the lake which was to be lit
for the first time and upon which the
captain boosted that he was going to
