by the cottage door.
What would VIII think of him? Sup
pose he should be killed-would the gen
erous friend understand? Perhaps he
would think him dishonest, and that he
died while trying to get away with his
wheel,
These mlddaning thoughts did not stay
his feet. though there was but ons thing
to do; whatever the end might BE-, JACK
Mathews must do his duty
The track was reached in safety Jack
mounted, and. with head lowered. pushed
with all his might and main.
This was different riding from the
smooth highway. The wooden ties made
every evolution painful. He set his re tn

would hold out.
Was that the whistle? If 50 all was
lost. for unless he got around the curve
and reached the straight stretch beyond
he could not hope that tn" engineer
would him in time. II r :er he
pressed upon the pedals and groaned as
the humping caused his aching back a
new agony.

Jack mentally CAV thanks that il was
not the back one. Leaning more lightly
ON his handle bars he tried to throw the
weight on the rear wheel
The curve was reached and passed. The
level mile-stretch spread out before
Jacks wide, terrified eyes. The wheel
was humping desperately now for the
back tire had been cut by a stone and
was as fiat as the front one.
Never mind. the end-whatever 1t was
to be-lay near. From afar came the
shriIl sound Of the whistle: there was no
mistake this time. ID DDWn the narrow

Would the engineer see him? Suddenly

past on his new bicycle. A throb of jeal-
ousy rent Jacks heart.
IF l only had a wheel" he murinured.
Besides the fun. just think how 1 could
help mother by going errands. Legs don't
count when folks are in a hurry" He
sighed and turned away.
Breakfast choked him that morning.
The old longing for a bicycle started up
afresh at sight of VIII on his new ma
chine.
"Win let me learn on his old one" Jack
thought he munched his bit Of stale
this one" An excited flush spread over
his face. He washed his few dishes set
the kitchen in order. and went out of the
door, locking 1t after him.
Just then viii came flying along.

the soft spring air in his face made him

Never had lie been so happy. He glded
along the road. singing at the top of his
voice. No one was in sight-he had the
world 10 himself Why should he not be
happy?
What was that?
A SLOW. rushing sound stlled the words
upon his lbs.
Beside the road was a high emhank-
ment, below which lay the railroad. Some
thing heavy had slipped down the hill.
Jack heard the clatter far below. as the
rushing sound ended in dull crash.
He was off the wheel in an instant. and,

A UNIQUE
REUNION
Preparations Completed by General Palmer For
the Bringing of His Old Comrades From
All Parts of the Country to His
Magnificent Home in Colo
RADIO Springs

From all parts of the United States
more than 27O veterans of the Fif-
tecnth Pennsylvania cavalry, General
w. j. Palmer's regiment in the civil
war, will arrive in Colorado Springs
on the evening of August 20 for the
most unique reunion ever held in the
United States as the guests of GEN
eraI William j. Palmer. The most
magnificent special train of Pullman
sleepcrs and diners that ever pulled
into this city will bear the veterans
to the City of Sunshine. and from
the time each man leaves his own
door until he returns TO it, not n PEN
ny of his expense will be borne by
any other than General Palmer. The
reunion will last for six days, but
those who wish TO remain here may
do so until October 1, 10 which time
their tickets will be valid.
So complete has been the prepara-
tion for the reunion under General
Palmer's personal direction that
from some of the most remote ham
lets and isolated country homes of
the country, the old soldiers will be
brought with no more trouble on
their part than to show their creden-
tials at the nearest railway depot and
thence by rail to Colorado Springs in
the finest Pullmans that money can
supply. The same care Will follow
the visitors until they arrive safely
back at their own homes, whether
that be in the uttermost corner of
Maine, southern California, or Puget
Sound for they viii gather from ey-
cry quarter of the union.
Every station agent on the Penn
sylvania railway systom has received
orders to issue tickets to General
Palmer's comrades on the presenta-
tion of n card supplied by the general
and the train will make its circuit

from point to point in such a way as
to pick up each traveller at the near
est station to his home. All the vet
Grams east of this city will arrive here
in the same train which viii leave
Philadelphia on the morning of Au-
gust II, and proceed TO Chicago,
where large contingent will be TAX
en- aboard. This train is furnished
by the Pennsylvania railway. at Cen
eral Palmer's expense. From Chica-
go the trip will be made over the
Burlington to Denver. where it will
arrive on the morning OF August 20.
During that day the visitors Will
have chance to see the sights of
the capital city and at o'clock that
evening will arrive In this city over
the ID. & II. G. For six days the
sumptuously furnished train will re-
main on the tracks here awaiting the
return of the visitors, so that all
may return home at the same if they
wish. The country has been raked
with a fine tooth comb in the search
for the veterans of the fifteenth cav
airy, and it Is safe to say that every
living one who can possibly stand
the trip has been located and will be
present.
Owing to the fact that the surviv-
ors living west of Denver are so
scattered all over the great west,
from southern California to northern
Washington, it was impossible to
furnish a special train that could go
around and pick up each individual
and, accordingly, those from the west
will arrive separately on whatever
train best suits them, but their COM
fort will be looked after just the
eamp nv General Palmer who has
seen to it that they make the trip
under the most favorable circum-

The Indians then held a council
and at its close heartily thanked the
college speakers and asked that

talks be given on proper methous Oh
irrigatlng each crop and of building
better houses.
The Indians then adjourned and
left the grounds, and an institute was
held for the white people present.
