] Hawkins and Elliott went home
when they had deposited the wheel,
after agreeing that neither should
watch the wheel during the night or
notify the police or any one else to
keep an eye on it. 1t was also under
stood that they should meet at eight
o'clock the next morning and walk
over together to see what had hap
pened.
IF the wheels there" Elliott said,
81 win the 500. If it is missing the
money is yours"
Next morning Hawkins got up with
the conviction that he was $40 better
off than he was the day before. He
met Elliott on the corner and they
walked over to the scene of their eX-
pertinent.
'If / VIM" said Elliott, "of course
! get the wheel as well as the $50. If
you win there won't be any wheel"
Hawkins, sure of winning, agreed
to this proposition with a smile.
Sure" he said, you can have the
wheel and I'll give you ten dollars
extra for it."
A moment later they turned the
corner and approached the vacant lot.
on one side of which they had left
the wheel.
1t was there still Hawkins saw il
first and said nothing. Elliott got

Hawkins, almost overcome, paid the
money and, taking the bicycle by the
| handlebars, started to walk away
with it. Elliott went with him.
"Well. don't let's have any hard
feelings about it, anyway" he said.
Come in to Hineline's and have a
drink on me-"
Hneine's was the saloon on the cor
ner, half a block away. The two men
walked down to the side entrance,
near which Hawkins left the wheel,
leaning it up against the wall while
he went inside with Elliott. Hincline
himself, whom Elliott knew, was on
duty back of the bar. and he re

Hawkins came to the defense of hi
favorite sport in gallant fashion. He
called the wheel 1.-THE poor man

benefit bicycling has been to tho
health Of the public. He grew both
angry and enthusiastic as Elliott per
sisted in his attacks.
"Why, wheeling is so dead" said
Elliott, finally, that you couldn't
find a thief cheap enough to steal a
bicycle. In the old days the papers
used to be full of stories Of bicycle
thieves. You never hear Of one now
adays"
Hawkins declared that thief
would steal a bicycle even now If he
had a good chance. Of course. the
great reduction in the price of wheels
had taken away some of the tempta-
ton, but ii wouldn't be safe to leave
a wheel out of doors over night at
that.
Elliott proceeded to poke some fur

who still cling to it. He finally wound
up with what Hawkins felt to be a
stupcndous bluff.

he said. "Ill go ont with you now

To Hawkins it looked to be GER

locked over night would be carried
off before morning. The place FL

one of the most conspicuous on the

Just at $3.50 they reached the West
side corner, near which they had
agreed TO leave the wheel over night.
The street was crowded, and il looked
to Hawkins as If he already had the
money won. The wheel was finished
in red and blue enamel, which made
it especially conspicuous. and when it

statement made by the grocery boy
around the corner. He had seen n

away. Yes, he remembered it was

rode.
Now that it is all over, Hawkins

STORY OF MAUDE ADAMS.
Interesting Book by Acton Davies, a
New York Critic.

Acton Davies, dramatic critic for the
New York Evening Sun, is the author OF a
little book entitled "Maude Adams" pub
hshed by the Frederick a. Stokes Com
pany. Miss Adams career is sketched
until the close Of the last theatrical sea-
son., and there are photographs of her in
various characters. Mr.. Davies begins his
story with: Somewhere out in Salt Lake
City there exists to this day-if it hasn't
been brakeman old-fashiOned china meat
platter which nowadays could be sold for
its weight in gold. 1t was on this platter,
about t~wenty-nine years ago, that Maude
Adams made her first appearance on any
stage" Miss Adams's real name is ks
cadden. Her father was a merchant in
Salt Lake City and her mother, Annie
Adams, a noted character actress. held at
the time Maude was born a position in a
STOCK company In that city: Miss Adams
was nine months old when she was carried
on the stage on that platter. 1t was one
OF the tricks OF a farce named 1.-THE Lost
AS a child Miss Adams had parts with
David Belasco and James a. Herne in
various plays in San Francisco. She also
was In J. X. Emmett's company. She
played Chrystal in an old piece called
Herne's Heart OF Oak" When she be-
came a young woman attention was at
GdCIcu 10 ner because or ner aCtlnS as
Dot Bradbery in Charles Hoyt's '"The Mid
night Bell" Charles Frohman engaged
her for his stock company and she had
parts in Men and Women and THE Lost
Paradise"
When John Drew left Augustin Days
company and went over to the Frohman
side TO be a star Mr.. F'rohman chose Miss
Adams TO be Mr.. Drew's leading woman.
She set all New York's playgoers talking
about her by her acting in a scene OF
THE Masked Bali where she feigned
drunkenness with fascinating delicacy. She
made another hit as the ingenious Dolly
IN Rosemary" She became a star in
j. NJ. Barries ""The Little Minister" Her
success was instantaneous. She was en-
boldened TO play Juliet, n William Faver-
sham was the Romeo. The scholastic
critics were shocked, but the mass liked the
modern Juliet" Her next venture was In
Edmond Rostand'S "L'Aiglon," which was
beyond her grasp.
Her manner is modest and sympathetic,
n no actress holds as high a place in
the affection Of the public as she does.
She figures hardly at all in the columns
of newspapers that make a practice OF
printing stories of the private lives Of
actresses; she avoids the interviewer. She
is now playing in New York in a new COM

bright way, and the book is worth a place
