the squire's pride aud care aud landed

The squire in bis wrath violently SHOOK
Jskey, kicked the wooden wheel out Into
the road lucky il was stoutly built-sDd
sternly forbade sny farther riding Of the
homemade bicycle past his premises.
Carpenter Dobbin, when be heard OF it,
said the road down the hill was q public
road, and the squire could not keep the
boys from riding there il they wanted 10.
CsuJty said they would not want TO;
there were other hills, Ii would be incon
venleut sometimes TO 60 three miles
around TO go to town; but better tnst than
TO make the sqnire mad. lou see it WAS
a part Of CsIroty's queerness that he did
not like to make any one mad any more
than be liked to slaughter potato bugs.
Not even Bert Shepsrds wheel created
as gres, sensation as Csrroty's Through |
by Daylight No one who saw it isiled to
turn for the second look. All the boys
were wild to try and until the novelty
wore of the builder found profitable
business in hiring II out-two rides down
Forks hills for one cent,
Carroty kept on working at his bicycle,
improving it and adding extra attach
ments. Jakey's disastrous accident OF the
hedge showed him the necessity OF

would like to describe that brake, but il

he Through by Daylight became what
Jarroty called "a regular roadster"
Not once during ell this time did Car
oty ride down Squire Yorke's hill, and
ihen be hired the wheel ont it was with
proyiso against that route,
One morning Mrs Ginter, the Dobbin's
esrest neignbor, rushed over, white and
reathless. Her husband had fallen from
be roof of the shed and was badly hurt. b
he wanted Carroty to hurry down to the l
illage after the doctor,
He'll die il you don't hurry, the dis
.aught woman cried. Carroty jumped
n Through by Daylight and dashed down
le forbidden bill. As be whizzed around y
be corner be saw the squire, bsrehesded
oat tails flying, ahead OF him. Il
He'll get hurt sure if be tries to siop a.

The next moment he saw what ii meant
fair haired little lad - the squire's
randson was running up the hill, white 81

Jg with foamlng, enapplpg JAWS. The t.
Iuire was straining every muscle to reach G.
Ie child, yet grooming as be ran with the d
irtaiuty that be would be too late.
Csrroty took his I'D from the brake, a.

The squire felt rath than saw some 81
