THE WHEEL

In line with the new bicycle trust, a
tube trust has been formed, the main
factories of the country going in. The
Shelby Steel Tube company, it is said,
started the move by gaining control of
the Pope and Lozier tube works, and
the deal has been concluded by taking
In the Albany tube plant at Albany
Ind. owned jointly by GormuIly &
Jeffery, Indiana Bicycle company and
the Western Wheel works. This con-
Germ has been in operation a year,
supplying the three companies with
tubing and also taking orders from
outside firms. The stock of the newly
reorganized Shelby company, it is said,
will be proportionately divided among
those entering the combine thus MAX
ing practically a readjustment and
amalgamation of the tube business.
The difficulty in the main bicycle
trust, which was due to the inability
of the promoters to so arrange matters
as to induce r. l.. Coleman of the
Western Wheel works to enter, has
been adjusted. 1t is said that the Chi
cago man has again allowed negotia-
tions to be opened for an option on his
plant and that his price. $5,00O00O, will
be paid AS to a president for the COM
bine, Pope, Iozier. Coleman, Gormully

"'Tis strange story, Philip" replied
Anime; land now hear me-but give

little thing? Strange; forgive me,
Philip-but I've still my doubts upon

it cannot be true; but still, one so un-

is true. Then, if 1t be true
without the oath you would
but be doing your duty; and think not
so meanly of Anime as to suppose she
would restrain you from what is right.
No, Philip, seek your father, and, If
you can, and he requires your aid, then
save him. But, Philip, do you mag

Anime extended her arms, and Phil

evening Philip demanded his daughter
of her father, and Mynheer Poots, as
soon as Philip opened the iron safe
and displayed the guilders, gave his
immediate consent.
Father Seysen called the next day,

days afterward the bells Of the little

A CANADA FARM.
What q Former Resident of Id'hosays
Regarding Western Canada.

Mr.. T. A. Tolman, OF Lacombe, Al
berta. N. w. r., former resident oil
Cascia County, Idaho, who moved 10
Western Canada in July, 1894, writes
as follows:
II brought here thlrty-four head OF
cattle, fifteen horses, two wagons, TWO
sets of harness and one hundred and
fifty dollars in cash. l homesteaded
the southeast quarter OF Section 20
Township 40, Range 26, west OF the Atm
Meridian, also purchased a quarter
section of Canadian Pacific Railway
land. l have been farming more or
less all my life, and / am convinced
that you can raise crops 40 per cent
cheaper here than where came from.
My capital at present, counting every
thing, is about five thousand dollars.
The yield OF my grain all round in 1897
was GO bushels per acre. This year
(1S9S) yield OF wheat per acre, 31h
bushels, oats, so bushels, barley,
S5, and potatoes, 400 per acre.
/ consider that this is much
better country for man than
where l came from, provided he Is in
dustrious. You get free homestead
here, and Canadian Pacific Railway
lands are cheap and the terms easy.
/ have now made my seventh payment
on the land purchased by me, and am
much pleased with my purchase, as the
land has already much more than paid
for itself. School law here is decidedly
ahead of where came from, and there
are schools wherever there are set
tiers"

CHAPTER VII


1t was not until late In the autumn
that Philip was reused from his dream
of love for what alas! is every en-
joyment Of this life but dreamy by
a summons from the captain OF the
vessel with whom he had engaged to
sail.
One morning in the month of Oc-
tober there was a tapping with the
knuckles at the cottage door. AS this
precaution implied a stranger, Anime
obcyed the summons.
II would speak with Master Philip
Vanderdecken," said the stranger in
half whispering sort Of voice.
The party who thus addressed AM
inc was little meager parsonage,
men of the time, with a cap made of
badger-skin hanging over his brow.
His features were sharp and diminu-
tive, his face of a deadly white, his
lips pale, and his hair Of mixture
between red and white. He had very
little show of beard-indeed, it was
almost difficult to say what his age
might be. He might have been a
sickly youth early sinking into de-
creptitude, or an old m.l, hale in con-
stitution, yet carrying no flesh. But
the most important feature, and that
which Immediately riveted the atten-
ton OF Anime, was the eye OF this
peculiar personage-for he had but
one; the right eyelid was closed, and
the ball within had evidently wasted
away; but his left eye was, for the
size of his face and head, of unusual
dimensions, very protuberant. clear
and watery, and the most unpleasant
to look upon, being relieved by no
fringe of eyeiash either above or be-
low IL.
Philip was greatly surprised at the
appearance Of the stranger, who. as
soon as he entered the room, without
saying a word, sat down on the sofa
by Philip in the place which Anime
had just left.
philip Vanderdecken-he! he!-
Philip Vanderdecken, you don't know
me?" he began.
II do not" replied Philip in half
angry tone.
The voice OF the little man was most
peculiar-it was a sort of subdued
scream, the notes OF which sounded in
your ear long after he had ceased to
speak.
81 am Schriften, one of the pilots OF
the Ter Schilling," continued the man,
"and I'm come-hei he!"-and he
looked hard at Amine-"to take you
away from love"-and looking at the
buffets-"he! he! from comfort, and
from this Also" cried he, stamping his
foot on the floor as he rose from the
sofa-"from terra frma-hel he!-to a
watery grave perhaps. Pleasant" con-
tinued Schriften, with a gggle: and
with a countenance full OF meaning
he fixed his one eye on Philips face.
Philips first impulse was to put his
new visitor out Of the door; but Anime,
who read his thoughts, folded her
arms as she stood before the little
man, and eyed him with contempt as
she Observed q
1--WE all must meet our fate, good
fellow; and, whether by land or sea,
death will have his due. If death stare
him in the face, the check of Philip

shortcomings, is the happiest man In

Review. OF course, the wealthy classes
have everywhere found the way Of en-

observer OF national characteristics
these classes are uninteresting. Good
society is good society everywhere. For
a study, give me the masses of the

in France that, after all, / find the
greatest amount of happiness. The
Frenchman is a cheerful philosopher.
He knows best of all how to live and
enjoy life. Moderate in all his hab-
its, he partakes of all the good things
that nature has placed at his disposal,
without ever making fool OF himself
He understands temperance in the truf
acceptation OF the word, which means
not total abstinence, but moderation

that It has no climate at all; you near
that Il has climate that Is neither

no drunkards. A Frenchman would be
as astonished to find that the law pre-
vented him from enjoying glass OF
wine. because a few imbeciles use wine
to get drunk with. as he would to find
that the law forbade him to use knives
in his quiet and peaceful home, be-
