ON the Towpath In Done.
It was Just before the canal was
closed. Snow covered the towpath that
was marked only by the broad-soled
shoes of the driver and the marrow
hoofs OF the three gaunt mules that
sleepily stretched in their collars with
the weight of the sodden towline and
the two boats dragging behind in the
dirty water of the canal.
1t was just before seven o'clock in the
morning and the sun had just come
enough way from across the sea to
climb up part way on the big globe
and cast pale gray light over the
awakening city. Laborers and shop
girls were hurrying TO work. shivering
| in the chill air that marked the sudden
appearance of winter.
On the bridge crossing the canal at
the weighlock two men stood watching
the approaching boats. and yawning
and stretching in contemplation of an
other days work. One was canal en-
ploye.
"See those sleepy mules" said he, as
be stretched himself again sympathet-
ically. "See that clock over there in
the tower of the railroad station across
the river. Two minutes of seven. Bet
you those mules will give the time first
before the whistle blows. They're great

ears tapping in apparent forgetfulness
we're urged into trot over the bridge,
and the two men lodged the towline
that slipped over the bridge railing to
the other side of the canal.
II was one minute OF seven. The
mules stopped on the towpath.
All three loudly brayed and the cho-
rus of "Enh hows" awoke the sleeping
people along the canal bank for hum
AIRED OF yards. And then the whistles
in all the factories sent out steam into
the cold air and in tones shrill and
somber sounded the beginning OF the
days work.
"wot l tell you? Them mules beat
'em out by a minute" remarked the
canal employee leaning on the railing Of
the bridge. They won't go no further.
They know it's time for feed and rest
See the boatman. They're goin' to take
a snub and put on a new team"
Lines were thrown and in few min
utes the canal boats were tied fast to
the bank. Three dejected-looking
mules, still munching wisp of hay,
scrambled up the gangplank, and their
places in the stable of the forward part
Of the boat were soon taken by the time
keepers.

canal man on the bridge. as he watched
the new team starting under way and
the towline stretching as the lines were
cast off. "know more about the time o.
day than you do unless you look at

hours. They go along the towpath with

In order 10 get the best service out
n chainless wheels riders who use
them should not pound on the pedals,
but should maintain an even pressure

habit Of making aerce alternate thrusts
on the pedals Is born Of the experience
with back-lash on chain wheels. This
II particularly felt In hill climbing,
when. II one foot does not quickly fol.

Roadway Is lost. Hill climbing with
chain wheels Is generally a succession
OF jumps on the pedals. In the chain

indescribable way. and there Il not

impetus Of the beyel-gear action IL pc
culiar. and the most advantage can be
had from Il by deliberate pedallng. II
Is because Of this that II has been
claimed that the chainless wheels are
better for hill climbing than others.
The work on them Ia steady Instead OF
spasmodic This may mean only a
difference Of distribution and not nee
essarily less force expenditure Il Is
admitted. even by chainless wheel ad
