THE CYCLIST GUEST.
BY BARRY PAIN.

Inc Inn stands In Yorkshire valley,
seven miles from any town. The inn
itself occupies one side Of a courtyard.
Right and left Of it are farm buildings.
The fourth side is open to the road and
the moorland beyond it. and the blue
hills further still. No house is in sight.
The road stretches far and white,
without hedge or fence, and this hot
Saturday afternoon it had for long
hours been empty-no one had come or
gone by it; it gave note of quiet ex-
pectatiOn to the scene. Then flock Of
geese came cackling angrily across it.
A moment later cyclist came in view,
bis head down, riding fast. Mrs. Mace,
who had been looking out. went back
to her kitchen. The cyclist would be
sure to stop awhile.
He was nice looking cyclist. though
his appearance was not improved by
heat, duet and exhaustion. He was a
fair-hdired young man, somewhat shy,
and just little too fat; he did not give
one the impression of hard athlete.
His machine was new and brilliant, and
looked expensive. All this Mrs. Mace
took in as he sat en- the bench in the
courtyard. drinking from a blue mug
the pint of shandygaff she had brought
him.
Come far. sir?" she asked.
He might have answered with truth
that he had come just as far and as fast
as he possibly could.
"Not-well. not particularly. I'm be-
ginning tour-not quite in training
yet" He put down his mug, stood up.
and surveyed the old stone buildings.
Il suppose" he said, "you couldn't put
any one up here for night or So"
"We could and have done." said Mrs.
Mace. ut would depend ON what q
gentleman expected. We haven't all
the advantages here. but we do our best.
Perhaps you would step inside and see
for yourself. SIR
The cyclist professed himself quite
satisfied with the accommodation offered
him. He unstrspped a rather heavy
and cumbersome wallet from his ma
chine, and had it taken up to bis room.
The sleepy inn became suddenly alive
and active. A clumsy boy painted up
stairs with pals OF water for the bath.
From the kitchen came the sound Of
cracking sticks.
In an hour the stranger, refreshed by
his bath and change OF clothes. came
back to the bench in the courtyard.
He had still an hour or more to wait for
dinner. He began to smoke cigarette,
let it 60 out. stared at the ground intently
and suddenly started up and looked
down the road in the direction from
which he had come; there was no one
on the road; he gave a sigh OF relief,
relit cigarette, and sat down again.
With burst Of laughter three little
girls came out from the inn into the
courtyard. They we're the landlords

Once or twice he called out a word or
two OF advice to the chief huntress.
But the chief huntrees. at the age OF
thirteen, had experience and needed no
advice; the chase vas brief, and the
huntress marched of with the spoils.

He shivered. "No. no." he said.

fond of children. 1t was queer. but he
did not like to see things killed, and he
wanted information about the collie.
The child gave 1t gravely: Lady" was
good-tempered but disobedient.

and again looked eagerly down the long

could not find the right phrases. He

Then he crept back to bed and slept
again.
His spirits seemed better after break

shone out bright and hot, the air was
still. and on every side he heard the
chirping Of the grasshoppers. He lay
down and rested, flat on his back, with
one arm over his eyes. In this scene
of quiet and lonely peace it seemed al
most impossible to believe that the fact
Of yesterday was really fact, that the
thing was done which could not be un-
done. and that the consequences must
inevitably follow.
When he got back to the inn he heard
the sounds OF music. The piano was
being played laboriously and inefficient
ly: the music was a hymn tune, and
abominable. When he entered the sit
ting room he saw that the performer
was the chief huntress Of the afternoon
before; the other children listened open
eyed. They would have run away when
he came in.

The TREATY REVISION.

Very important news comes in this
mail regarding the Nicaragua canal
preliminaries. II would appear that
the Washington administration has
arrived at the mature conviction that
the principle OF neutrality of the
canal is an Indispensable ingredient
Of any treaty that can be made with
Great Britain. The grounds for this
conviction DO not rest in the integrity
OF the Clayton Bulwer treaty, but it
is discovered that the principle OF
neutrality is an essential part Of the

made upon the sublect-with the
small but independent republics of
