IN q Collision.

- - CVAAA8AW4s
This is the story of a somewhat unusual
accident. 1t happened on the Conduit road
one evening early in the fall, and the man
who told me about it was an eyewitness.
1t is singularly appropriate, by the way,
that he should be an eyewitness, for be =
an oculist by profession. A man on . b.
cycle was scorching cheerily along on the way
to town, when suddenly there loomed up
out Of the darkness in front Of him heavy
wagon and team headed straight for him:
There was no time to turn out. The wheel
crashed into the wagon pole. and the rider
was thrown completely over the horses, fall
ing between them and the wagon. The ocu-
list ran to the rescue, expecting to see .
limp mass of bleeding and unconscious hu-
manity. Instead, he saw kicking and
swearing person who was apparently unin..
jured. The bicycle was Chinese puzzle Of
twisted wire.
Are you hurt" asked the oculist.
The swearing person picked himself up
and stopped swearing. He gnzed at what
had once been n fair young bicycle.
Hurt" he said in a tone Of deepest Dis
gust. Hurt? Me? OF course amt hurt.
