The Public GaliOSvB q Century Ago.
Even IL the bicycle had been invented
hundred years ago touring could
hardly have become very popular-at
au events, for solitary cyclists. The
old guidebooks were by no means
cheerful reading. A run from London
to East Grinstead, distance Of five or
six and twenty miles, would have TAX

from one or the other OF them n body
would be swinging in the wind
Up till the beginning of the nine
teenth century the gallows was almost
as frequent landmark as finger posts
or public houses have become now
The traveller approaching York is d.
rected by the guidebooks to turn
round by the gallows and three wind
mills" and the road out of Durham is
between the gallOws and Crokehill."
Going out Of Wells you "cross the
brook and pass by the Gallows."
Any number of such directions can
be CLEANED from the old books for the
guidance Of travellers hundred years
ago, and as these interesting objects
were put up and the dead bodies Of
malefactors left upon them for the
special edifcation of footpads and
highwaymen there was n suggestive
ness about them that must have given
special piquancy to cycle touring If 1t
had been In vogue at that time.-L on
