BICYCLE RACING
 EVENT OF THE FAIR
Two Contests in Which Attractive
 Prizes are Offered.

For long time there has been talk of bicycle races at the fair but nothing definite was done in the matter untl recently when the fair management of fered twenty-five dollars as the nue. leus of a fund for the offering of purses for such races. The local bicycle deal CTS took up the matter and added con- siderable to the fund through the sub scriptiOns of local business men and secured the offering of a few premiums by the local merchants.
 Two good races have therefore been arranged one a five mile race for Wednesday and the other a mile race for Friday. Tn the mile race no con- testant may receive a prize or purse whose time shall be more than three minutes, which is considered easy for @ good rider. Tn the five mile race there will be no award if the contest ant does not make at the rate of three minutes, or fifteen minutes for the en- tire race. A participant would not be thrown out of this race if he fell down on any particular mile, providing he made it up on others, for the reason that some might prefer to ride slow at first and faster at the finish Then, too, in a long race a rider might have some misfortune to his wheel and have to stop entirely to fix it in some par ticular mile, but the full five miles must be made in fifteen minutes or less. This provision is to insure good speed and races worth seeing.
 Entries for both races will close Sat urday evening at s o'clock and the en- try fee is $2.50. Those desiring to en- ter should call on the Phoenix Cycle Co.,, or H. s. Griswold, before the hour named.
 The purses and prizes will be as fol- lows: For the five mile race-First,

On top of all this you'd be obliged to
prove collision between me and the
Tompkins heirs over sale made by
their attorney, Mr.. Trabue. There is
one thing certain, Mr. Bishop, and that
is that you have forfeited your right
to any further confidence In this mat
ter. If the road Is built, you'll find
out about it with the rest of your peo-
pie. You think you acted wisely In at
lacking me this way. but you have
simply cut off your nose to spite your
face. Now, have long car ride be

as with palsy. His voice shook and
rang like that of mailman.

door. There was a droop upon his
whole body. He dragged his feet as
he moved out into the unlighted corrf-
dor, where he paused irresolutely. So
great was his agony that he almost
obeyed an impulse to go back and fall
at the feet Of Perkins and imploFe his
aid to rescue him and his family from
ruin. The lawyer was NOV
ing about the room. closing his desk
and drawing down the window shade.

made his way downstairs. I'm ruined.

on the first landing like an animal at
bay. He heard the steady step of Per

thought Of waiting there In the dark

subtle scoundrel who had taken adpaAa

The sallow features of the lawyer

stared doggedly into Bishops face.

Perkins stood up. He took his silk
hat from the top of his desk and put
it ON. "Oh. yes, old man." he sneered;
"I'm terribly dishonest fellow, but
I've got company In this world. Now,

He turned at the corner of his broth

hating steps to the gate, but he did
not pause, continuing his way back to-
ward the station. A glance at the
house showed that all the lower rooms
were lighted. as well as the big pris-
matte lamp that hung over the front
door. Bishop saw forms in light sum-
mer clothing on the wide veranda.
