WANTED THE REGULAR TOOLS
One Thing, He Wouldn't Work
With the Pie.

An old negro man was standing by
a grassy yard in front of a Chinaman's
washhouse when a woman walked to
the street corner near by to board a
car. The old man approached her and,
lifting his hat, politely said: Lady,
can you tell me where l can obtain a
job?'
He held in his hand a loosely wrap
ped package, from which p%rotruded
the edge of what was apparently a five
cent pie.
The lady replied that he might ask
the Chinaman for the Job of cutting
the grass. So the colored man bar
gained with the Chinaman to cut the
grass, for which he was to receive %
cents.
Then it turns out that the Chinaman
has no tools, and the colored mans
lawn mower is a long way off at his
home and he is disinclined to 60 after
it. for the way is weary, the flesh tired.
The lady finally suggested in a mat
ter of fact way: are you going to cut
the grass with the pie?" The colored
man drew himself up with great dig
nifty and replied, r%eprov:ugly;
Lady. never cut grass with a pie"

CHAPTER XII.
WHO LAUGHS AT LOVE

Days passed, and no word came from
Ada;' Carr. The Blagdens lived in
constant fear of a telegram announcing
the capture of their son. They started
with every ring of the telephone bell.
The rattle of the knocker on the front
door always brought q quick chill of
apprehension. Then they would look
at each other, inevitably with the same
question in their eyes. always with
an immediate lowering of the lids.
There was not an hour in their DAYS
and their nights in which they were
free from the feeling that the front
door was about to open to admit their
son and that he would stink in as if no
other refuge was open to him.
Adam Carr certainly had laid the
for a sublime revenge. The
most Machiavellian mind could rot
have developed a scheme for vengeance
SO complete as the one which chance
had put in his way. Barring the defec-
ton Of Eric, the Blagdens might go to
the end Of their days without a single
instant of immunity from the plague
that hung over their heads.
So long as they lived they would be
waiting for the some coming of Chef
wynd.
Adams unhappy accomplice appre-
ciated all this, and yet could not break
the spell hat had fallen upon him. He
was not blind to the suffering of his

himself that he had not committed

to that. Long hours of miserable re-
Election had brought surcease to his
own troubled mind. 1t was not the

morse to him. but the sight of these

Sheridan Would Ride cycle Now.
From Scribner's Magazine.
-. -af Alia- A;an.i. :.

FROM ScIIDiieI ; 4hiSdIiHe.
Especially significant of this titanic wal
is the total disappearance Of the gallop-
ing orderly: his place has been taken by
the mo~torcyclist Among British officers,
particularly, the motor bicycle has long
been popular, and, in addition to what
the army could supply in the first in
stance on it's own account a large num-
Der of riders, many of them from the
Universities, and specially chosen as dis
tic abilities, have been recruited from the
volunteer element and sent out as re-
quired, the first contingent being 1000
strong, with a second 1000 in reserve.
Theirs has been the most active. daring
and dangerous work of any units of the
forces, for they have had to carry in
under fire. and generally under conditions
of great risk. AS the speed of their ma
chimes, however, is five times as great as
that of a horse, and their distance ca
p%acities virtually without limit, it follows
that their sphere of usefulness has been
as vast as their services nave been price
less.
Again and again have officers paid tes-
timony to the extreme military value Of
the work of these plucky riders, who have
enabled the allied commanders to main
tain constant communication along the
vast front from Belgium to Alsace Lor-
raine. Individual acts of the highest
bravery have been, countless. but | may
mention two as typical. A dispatch bearer
ran right into a party OF IA Uhlans. He
braved them single handed, drew his re-
volver and shot dow an officer and a
private. The others turned and fed, and
the motorcyclist was able to deliver his
dispatch, which informed the corps COM
mander that the Germans were in the
vicinity. and thus prevented what might
nave been a disagreeable surprise. In
another case, al intrenched British com
pany observed in the distance a French
regiment marching right up to a spot
which concealed German artillery. The
Frenchmen's fate was sealed unless they
fopld be re wa wa nrnmnt, Out ah5 Jumped dp@n. a 5nodhar
followed, and he. too, fell Immediately.
Then q third dashed out, bending ow
over his machine and managed to pass
reach the approaching regiment just in
time. The commanding officer imnledi-
ately detached a decoration from his own
breast and pinned 1t to that Of the in.
trepid rider.
