The tall man chuckled:
Suppose" said he, "a man believed
enough In you to let you have a wheel on
condition that you brought IL back AZ far
as Helion on your return to New York.
Would you think you had come to the right
shop"
Say, boss. wen l looked at youse ! said,

don't rent wheels generally unless q man

Joe pulled out a grimy envelope hat

ings Bank Of New York -,
IT'S all right '"y son, eau me 'si

-W'ot, the w'eel?" asked Joe mischiev-
ously.
NO: II you get a chance to do some fellow
that's lost his train a good turn you do It
or I'll be sorry ! helped you
A few minutes later Joe. with minute
| directions how to get to Buffalo in his sharp
! little brain. wheeled out Of Helion and
| struck the high road at a good gait. He
had never owned a wheel. OF course. but
there are few city street boys that can't
do tricks on a wheel that would shame
a man who learned TO ride when safety
wheels were invented,
Joe was destined TO get to Buffalo after
all and as he supposed by means OF his
wheel, but the best wheelmen have acci-
dents some times, and Joe was no exception
| to this rule. He was riding NJ a high rute
Of speed, when he turned a sharp corner
inst a. a red automobile Of the French
type came along like an express train.
The chauffeur shouted. but IL was too
! late. Joe and the machine were tossed
into the air. doe stayed up but the wheel
| came down a shapeless mass.
Joe had lodged Ia "A tree, and. strange TO
] say, ave for a cut on his forehead and a
bruised shin lac was unhurt But the wheel
was d wreck.
Joe was 80 caught in the tree that he
could not get down without assistance.
