to stop--a mist swan before his eyes
and his heart heat so loud he could hear
nothing else With his eyes glued to
the front wheel, he tore fiercely sround
the corners, regardless of the danger he
exposed himself 10 by collision.
The sweat poured from every portion
Of his small anatomy, and his face was
red as flannel, as he madly rode into the
street where lived the first customer to
be served. AT breakncck speed he tore
up that narrow thoroughfarc and al
most shouted aloud with joy. exhaust
cd rs he was. when he saw his fathers
wagon standing in front of the house.
The customer was about to take the
milk in the house, when Johnny dashed
up and half fell, half staggered off the
wheel.
After it was all over, and Johnny had
recovered from his fearful strain, the
first words he said were these: Say,
papa, I'd been too late if she hadn't
been Il good one and gearcd to 70, and
oh, pop. it's dandy. and I'd like to have
one like it. Can't /, pop?"
As you may suppose, Barker, ST., came
20 the conclusion that Johnny had well
earned bicycle. and it wasn't many
days before he had one--a nice, new,
up-to-date racer; and his father was one
day heard to proudly remark that his
johnny was the best rider in all the
country round. If I were to give
Johuny's real name, some of YOU boys
and girls would be surprised, for to-
