schriften, coming on the poop. He!

"Where?"
There, in the gloom!' said the pi-
lot, pointing to the darkest quarter OF
the horizon, for the sun had set.
The captain, Hillebrant and Philip
directed their eyes to the quarter
pointed out, and thought they could
perceive something like a vessel.
Gradually the gloom seemed to clear
away, and a lambert, pale haze to light
up that part Of the horizon. Not a
breath Of wind was on the water-the
sea was like a mirror-more and more
distinct did the vessel appear, till her
hull, masts and yards were clearly
visible. They looked and rubbed
their eyes to help their vision, for
scarcely could they believe that which
they did see. In the center of the
pale light, which extended some fifteen
degrees above the horizon, there was
indeed a large ship about three miles
distant; but, although It was n perfect
calm, she was to all appearances buff
feting In n violent gale, plunging and
lifting over a surface that was smooth
as glass, now careening to her bearing,
then recovering herself. Her topsails
and malnsail were furled, and the
yards pointed to the wind; she had no
sail set but a close -reefed foresail, q
storm staysail and a trysail abaft.
She made little way through the water,
but apparently neared them fast, driven
down by the force Of the gale. Each
minute she was palmer to the view.
AT last, she was seen to wear, and, in
20 doing, before she was brought to
the wind on the other task. she was so
close to them that they could distin-
guish the men on board; they could see
the foaming water as 1t was hurled
from her bows; hear the shrill whistle
OF the boatswain's pipes, the creaklng
OF the ships timbers, and the COM
planning OF her masts: and then the
gloom gradually rose, and in q few
seconds, she had totally disappeared.
God in h%eaven!" exclaimed Myn-
heer Kloots.
Philip felt n hand upon his shoulder,
and the cold darted through his whole
frame. He turned round and met the
one eye of Schriften, who screamed in
his ear:

Cyclists Road Rights.

Judge Simpson of Mcpherson, Kan,
has rendered a decision of Importance
to wheelmen in the case of George
holds that a bicycle rider is not re-
sponsible for accidents which may re-
suit from horses becoming frightened
at persons riding bicycles, because all
persons who travel or public high
ways have a right to choose the We
hicle or conveyance they desire to use.
This decision at once places every
wheelman in Kansas on an equality
with the drivers Of horses, the impor-
tant point being that wheelmen are
not expected to leave their machines
by the roadside and walk ahead to
ask a man IL his horses will be scared.
The decision OF Judge Simpson
clears the atmosphere of many the
cries which the people who do not
ride bicycles have held. and furnishes
a basis upon which an orgapized eff
fort in the direction of procuring
wheelmen's rights may be based.
Henry Kibbe of Hutchinson, was
riding his machine along the public
highway, when George Lehman met
him. The latter was driving a team,
which became frightened, ran away,
and threw Lehman out, crushing his
leg. He sued Kibbe for damages, in
Guiding doctors bill and the injuries
to the team and damage to the buggy
in which he was driving. He lost the
suit.

VIII Oppose Cycle Tax.

The wheelmen Of Washington, ID. c.,
are strenuously opposing the PROPOSE
ton OF the municipal authorities to
have congress enact a law imposing a
tax on all bicycles in the District of
Columbia. They contend that this
proposition Is nothing more than a de-
liberate attempt to fine every person
for riding a bicycle, inasmuch as a
tax could not be urged as a revenue
measure. The proposed law also pro-
vides for the registration Of all bicy-
cles. The wheelmen point out that
this provision would be of no practi-
cal value, as every bicycle now sold Is
numbered in such a manner that II
can be easily identified. President
Potter has assured the officers OF the
local division of the l.. A. w. that the
league would support every effort of
the local division made against the
imposition Of a bicycle tax. At an
early day a committee representing
the wheelmen will appear before the
two congressional committees having
the tax measure in charge and present
their objections to the passage OF the
bill. If their efforts are unavailing and
the bill Is finally enacted. then the
wheelmen will strongly urge that the
tax levied be expended in the improve.
ment of the country roads around the
city.

cycle Faith nnl in New York.

A bill has been introduced in the
New York state senate which has the
sanction of the l.. A. w, and which,
IL passed, will have a great effect In
strengthening the movement for cycle
side paths in that state. According
to the bill, any county judge, except
In Monroe and Albany counties, may,
upon the petition of fifty resident cy-
%clists, appoint five wheelmen as a
board Of side path commissioners,
their term OF office to be five years.
The board will be authorized to con-
struct and maintain side paths along
any of the public roads OF the county.
The paths are to be not less than three
feet wide and not more than six. A
further duty OF the board Is to settle
upon a license fee of not less than
90 cents and not more than 81. and no
cyclist will be allowed to use the paths
unless he holds such a license. The
fees when collected will be deposited
with the county treasurer and will be
used for building and maintaining the
paths.

Questions That Perpiex.

Michael's double game Of cyclist and
Jockey Is a hard one to understand, ex-
cept on the supposition that he Is for
tifying himself against the time when
his phenomenal ability as q bicycle
rider wanes In order that he may still
enjoy the distinction of being rated as
the best of his class In the world, or
upon the other less complimentary
supposition that while his inclinations
pull him toward the turf his friends
and those who admire him as a cycnst
Influence him in the other direction so
strongly that he vacillates between
them. Promptly upon the heels of the
report that he had secured Al Weinig
as a trainer and would enter into COM
petition on the cycle track again this
year comes a telegram from New Or"
leans this week stating that the pair
arrived in the Crescent City on Mon
day, where Michael was given a joe
Keys badge by Secretary Clark, having
already had a license from he TURF
Congress to ride. The midget reiter-
ates his intention to become a jockey,
1t is said, and will put in his mornings
at the track schooling himself to break
from the gate.
Apparently the question OF his mar
riage Is now definitely settled In the
affirmative by the following statement
from a firm Of lawyers, Alderman,
Wales, issued subsequent to a report
in the London papers upon Michael's
arrival In England last fall that the
Welshman was not married: "As the
solicitors representing the estate OF
the father of the young woman who is
Michael's wife, we cannot allow the
statements to go uncontradicted any
longer. We have before us the certi6-
cate of marriage dated March 13, 1896,
which proves that Michael is a mar
