A cloud of dust got up behind our
back wheel and gave chase along the
road. ''Hounslow-ten miles in twen-

into my ear as we streaked past the

surface begin to kill our pace. Every
muscle is strained to the utmost; the
Frenchman seems to be licking the
dust off his front tyre.
On, on, through the night we four
men race for a woman and a fortune.

Another terrific hill leaves us pant

twenty yards ahead: but Doyen isn't
to be beaten. He remembers the Bor-

we rush, bump and skid down Henley
hill side by side, through the peacefully
sleeping town. and out again into the
moonlit country.
"Thirty-fOur miles in an hour and
twenty-four minutes" Westropp tells
me as we settled down to the "F'ai

Surely we've broken some record
I think, but haven't breath to say.
Side by side the two tandems start
to negotiate the three miles of up hill

How we reach the apex of the Chill

the four of us are. working out our
souls, and the live steel beneath me

down a steep decline.
We leave the last slope of the Chill
terms, and Doyen and Lawton make a
final sprint. They are going to pieces
now; instead Of the even p~ush-and-pull
they are jerking their cranks round.

William Allen White In Emporia

Emporia every Saturday with her
parents. She was in town today look

Pretty looks aren't made by clothes.
1t is attention and consideration that
make a pretty Eoman. The woman
who lets go and doesn't care will LOOK
measly every time. And country girls
drop everything ind go around look
ing froWsy quicker than town girls.
And as a result 1--we girls when they
marry hold their husbands affections
longer than country girls. A country
girl becomes the bid woman in abou,

many complain that they find them

By the merchants this is explained in
various ways, but always from the

agreed that it is not Improbable That
the trusts are responsible for the high

Among the commodities not con-

these would be under trust control in

they are too near the raw product.
