FELL ASLEEP ON THEIR WHEELS
DESPERATE STRUGGLE OF THE
SIX-DAY WHEELMEN.
Miller Is Now In the Lead, and
Pierce Has Dropped Back to Third
Place.

New York, Dec. S.-The cratic
"Dutchman" Waller was the leader in
the six-day bicycle race at the Garden

Miller was third in the race, Pierce

AT Z o'clock Pierce was still getting
away from Miller and gaining on Wal
Ter While the latter slept. AT 8 o'clock
Pierce was once more at the top of the
string. At that time he appeared fresh,
Albert climbed away up the list of rid
ers at O'Clock, going up to second
place. Shortly before o'clock he left
the track and lost some of his advan-
tage. Waller dozed for a moment about
a o'clock, and awoke with a start,
wobbled and grabbed Frederick, who
was riding at his side. Both fell in a
heap and their wheels were broken.
/ Teddy Hale fell asleep and dropped
from his wheel. He lay for a moment
and then awoke with a start. Jumping
up he rubbed his eyes and remounted.
AT o'clock Pierce was thirty-seven
miles behind the best record made by
Miller last year.

poker game had spread about Reno and
a score OF. miners were soon crowding
about the players. Thus the betting went
on, $1,000 at time, until the resources of
both banks We're. exhausted. Loves last
bet was $500, and the colonel called it.
BREAKING OF DAWsON's BANK.
Every one in the room stood on tiptoe
and the deepest silence prevailed, for
every one knew that the fate of one of
the two banks hinged on those poker
hands. Love looked so serious that his
old acquaintances standing near gazed
in wonder at him. With elaboration he
threw his five cards, on which shinged the
fate of Thomas or Dawson's bank on
the table before him, face downward.
Colonel look at that writin and tell
the boys if those are the five cards IHheld
in the game, he said.
The colonel looked at his signature on
the back of each card and after nodding
assent he laid his hand face downward
for Loves inspection.
.'AH right colonel" Love said.
Thomas and Dawson, both confident,
We're glaring at each other when Love
turned over one card. 1t was the ace or
spades. The miners leaned forward and
Love turned over the. ace of hearts. Then
he exposed the ace of clubs Dawson and
colored slightly. Then Love turned over
the tray of spades. The two men looked
wonderingly .at each other. They knew
that the next card meant life or death
for Dawsons bank. Love did not hesi-
tate moment before he turned over the
ace OF diamonds. The colonel and Daw-
son seemed stunned for a moment. The
colonel was the first to act. Taking up
his five cards he tore them in two, and
walking over to the stove threw them into
the fire. Dawson looked at Love as he
raked the pile of currency, gold and sill
yer to his side of the table. Then he left
three
doors of Dawson's bank were closed for
all time.

bolt holding the cylinders in one posi-

hours and a half. If one of them stops
treading he slips down as far as the
chain permits, but the plank steps beat
against his shinbones so vigorously
that the skin is bruised and scraped.
This is exceedingly painful, and the
convict hurriedly catches up the next
step and tries to tread along with the
others. This barbarous punishment is
