Worthy Couple Thought the Wedding
License Settled All.

a lawyer told a few days ago of a
strange state of affairs that came to his
notice several years ago Whine practic
ing in the eastern part of the state,
says the Sioux City Journal. He had
not been out of college very long, and
to start in gave considerable attention
TO pension claims One day an old
woman, possibly so years Of age, came
to his office She was a widow of a
soldier of the war Of 1872, and wanted
him to look up her pension claim. He
asked her to show proof of marriage.
The applicant said somewhere in her
house she had the marriage license
that had been issued TO her in one OF
the eastern states before that war But
she had not been able to find it. She
was told then that she must secure affi-
davits of some people who had known
her husband, and of the fact that they
had lived together for years and had
brought up a family. One of the
grown-up sons was with her at the
time and he secured the necessary in
formation. But TO be sure that every
l0luS Was all IlsHl the lawyer WTOIe
to the clerk of the courts of the county
in which the original license had been
issued. That officer replied that the
license had been issued, but that no
return of the marriage had ever been
made In a few days the old woman
came back to see her lawyer about the
matter, and by that time she had found
the worn marriage license But that
was all she did have. Ii afterward de-
veloped that the couple had understood
that when the license was issued to
them that it was all that was neces-
sary. They never called in a preacher
to perform the ceremony and had lived
brought up large family.

She could not help wondering. as
they drove along through the mellow
autumn air, how it was that Dick had
so mistaken his uncle. 1t seemed to
her that he was all that was charming
and considerate-the sort of old gentle
man who does not seem old, although
his hair is white and he must have
lived years enough for the world to call
old. 1t was evident to her sweet and
simple soul that Dick had never really
got at his uncle's Utmost nature-which
was true, and all the better for Dick
that he hadn't. He could not, she ar
gued, be such savage as Dick had al

had built up a wonderful castle in the

SUBDUING THE BICYCLE.
Mental and Physical Struggles of the
Man Who Learned Late.

From the Kansas City Star: Ac-
| companying the other harbinger OF
spring, the robin, the game of marble
in the alley, the tan shoe, comes the
learner on the bicycle. The cool, brac-
ing air of an evening and the long
stretches Of smooth roadway tempt
him, and in his minds eye he pictures
spins into the country, healthful, in
vorgating exercise and an appetite like
that of a plOwman. But above all he
is impelled TO learn by a dread OF be-
ing considered faddist All OF his
friends ride. Already he imagines they
look upon him askance and speak of
him as sort of Philip Noland-a man
without a wheel. For six successive
seasons he has held out against the
| temptation and now he curses himseH
for his pains. Why didn't he learn
then, when everybody was learning. IN
stead Of pOstpOning the ordeal until
now, when all are past masters in the
art? So he may be seen every hne
evening upon the level, asphalt paved
side streets struggling to subdue an un-
tanned steed of the patents Of 95, which
costs him % cents an hour, with Q 81
indemnity against breakage All this
Is gall and wOrmwood TO the modest
man. Not that he cares for the knocks
and bruises. He would gladly double
their number could he but escape the
prying eyes. the derisive outlaws and
half-suppressed singers OF the men
and women who have passed through
il all years, years before. For these
reasons he is creature Of apprehen-
! sion and agony. After discovering the
fallacy of the theory that the art can
be acquired in back kitchen with the
curtains drawn he remembers par
ticularly unfrequented side street, lined
with trees that help TO obscure the
light of moon and lamps. He takes of
the handle bars of his machine to give
the impression that the machine is out
of order and that he is on his way with
it to the repair shop This furnishes
! him with an excuse for net riding.
Then he sallies forth. leading his
wheel. The unfrequented by-street Is
| due north, so of course he goes south.
and tacks back to the windward side.
like yacht, and beats and maneuvers
and hauls down his halyards and
reeves the pinnacle and so on and final
! ~ he heaves to in front of a livery
stable, which he goes through till he
reaches the alley and then by a sud

| bling and demoralized upon the dark
ened thoroughfare. OF course, every
body stops to watch him tangle him
self in his wheel. They gather in little

Just as we'll for you that I turned
up when l did. my dear" said Esther,
dryly; lit might have been very awk-
ward for you to be left alone long"
"Oh. but Lord Aylmer was so kind"
Dorothy cried. He not only took me
to the hospital to see Barbara and
brought me back again, but he has
actually gone off now to see his Wallets
wife. who is the very person to stay
with me till Barbara is able to come
home again"
Yes. that is really very good OF
him." Esther admitted. But now, my
poor little excited pale-face, am going
to make you cup of tea. Show me
the way"
So Dorothy took her into Barbara's
neat little kitchen, and Miss Brand es-
tablished her cousin in a chair while
she put the tea-things together and
made all ready. Then she carried the
tray into the drawing room and made
Dorothy sit in big arm chair while
she waited upon her and gave her ev-
erything that she needed for her COM
fort.
Il suppose this Lord Aylmer is
smart n-about-town sort of person."
she remarked presently. as she slowly
stirred her own tea round and round.
"Oh, awfully old" answered Dorothy

know, but at the same time he is old.
His hair is as white as snow. and he
has a delicious, old-fashioned, half
fatherly sort of manner. And so kind.

'Ah, well, it is a very good thing.
Really. the world isn't half so bad as
it sometimes seems" Esther said.

of tone, land this Dick of yours-he
is perfection, of course?''
