Mad Dog Chases Cyclist
Mad Dog Chases Cyclist LADY'S WILD nInE THROUGH THE STUNTS. She Was Tempted to Faint, but Wouldn't, and Put on Steam and. Distanced the Brute. A savage St. Bernard dog foaming at the mouth and snapping and snarling pursued a bicycle girl 'through liic streets of Orange, X.,1.. in America. It was a close race for f,f-veral blocks. The dog, wli(ich had gone mid, made good time, but the gul finally distanced him. Miss Harriet Ccffin was the wheel- woman. She lives at HcWkon. Whenever s'ue ge-ts the opportunity slie jumps on her bievde and leaven Hoboken behind her. One of her favourite -trips is the one to Orange. "1 was wheeling aiong enjoying the lovely air and placidly thinking how manj miles I was from Hoboken. Suddenly an enormous St.. Bernard dog, that seemed to have koown that 1 was going to pass, sprang out from a. gate. It looked as if he had been hiding 'there until I came along, I suppose that dotf imr-gined that the moment I saw him I would scream and faint and then fail off my wheel and give him a chance to eat me up. But I said to myself, "Nit!' I admit that my first impulse was to faint, but I restrained myself. I usually faint at ? crisis, but this time I made up my mind I wasn't going* to. When the dog, which behaved more Ulce an aggravated lion thai, a. dog, made a leap for me I was going along' at ai'oout four miles an hour. Any dog can go Twice that fast. I began to pound the pedals as hard, as I could. The dog- was five feet behind- As I put on steam I could h:<lr him yelpiri.' and p.tmv, 11 g betiind. In my imagination 1 felt his paws upon my shoul- der and his teeth buried in my back. I looked prcuncj and the eight of him nearly made me fall off. I was ttumbling all over, a.tid my hands shook so that I could hardly guide my wheel. I don't know how far the chase lasted it couldn't have been much more than a mile, but it seemed ten. Then the dog began to give up and fall behind. The knowledge that I was winning the '•ace made me feel go good thai I travelled all the faster, and presently there WM no dog in sight. My only regret is that I was not timed. I was 100Icing up Zimmerman's records to-day. Tha-t man Zim- merman doesn't go faster than a snail. AH the short distance records were beaten by mo with a mad St. Bernard dog as pacemaker, but I suppose they won't be allowed by the Amateur Athletic Union. I feel like claiming a mile in half a minute." Several residents of Orange, who saw Miss Coffin racing with the do2, said they thought there would surely be a. smash up, she went so fast. After the raca several men hunted the dcg down and killed him.
KAISER'S AMBITION.
KAISER'S AMBITION. HE FANCIES HE OUGHT TO BE CITJEEN VICTORIA'S HEER. The German Emperor is depicted in a new light by Mis. Or aw t or d :—"The Emperor, says one who ha* attended his Wednesday smoking parties, "looks on himself as the head of his whole kindred. He fancies, without knowing he does. that, as the Queen's eldest grandson, he ought to be her heir. This notion oozes out whenever he is in the company of the Prince of V» ales. The Queen does not exactly hum cur him, but siie shows deep re- spect, which no doubt she feels, for his rank. He is her grandson when they are quite alone, but her brother when anyone is present. The cause of his feud with his mother was that she went on treating him as her son after he left school. She used to call him 'Willy,' and speak of him as 'that boy.' What is rather funny is that he leaves the Empress Frederick entirely out -in. his vague dreams about his natural right to boss England in England. He quite forget his intemtional relations to member* of his family. The Prinoe of Wale# must often fee! this. The Crown Princess of Greece was made to feel it keenly when she cho^e to eriter the Greek Church to be able to go to the Orili odox Mass on Sundays with he hu-iband."
A JUDGE'S SIMPLE QUESTION.
A JUDGE'S SIMPLE QUESTION. A certain learned judse of the High Courts, when attempting to be clear, is at times rather perplexing. "My good woman," he is reported to have said to a witness, "you niwt give an answer, in the fewest possible words of which you are capable, to the plain and simple QUCK- on whether, w!w you were crossing the street with the baby on your arm, and the omnibus was coming down on the right side and the cab on the left side, and the brougham was trying to ps.-s the omnibus, you saw the plaintiff between the brougham and the oab, cr between tlie omnibus anci the c-ab, or whether and when you saw lii.ni at all, and whether or not near the brougham, cab, or omn bus, or not near the brougham, cab, or omn bus, or cither, or any two. and which of them respec- ¡ tively—or how was in"
FALSE EVIDENCE
FALSE EVIDENCE BY E. PHILLIPS OPPENHEIM. I -I "Father," I said to him one evening when we were sitting out upon our little strip of la.wn together, he smoking. I envying him for being able to smoke, "do you know that I. have"never been out of Devoiisb ire,r, ever been further than Exeter even, and I am eighteen years old?" It was long before he answered me, and when, at last, he turned round and did so, t was distressed to see the look of deep anxiety in his worn, handsome face, and the troubled light en his clear eyes. I know it, my boy." he said, pityingly. I have been expecting this. You are weary of the country." I -;tood up, with my hands in my pockets, and my back against the latticed wall of the h'-we, gazing over tho rparkling, danr-mg I sea. to where, on the horizon, th" stars seem to stoop and meet it. AN',is I tired of tt;, quiet home ? I scarcely knew country sports and country sights were dear to roe, and I had no desire to leave them for ever. I thought ir of the fat trout in the Ex ford streams, and the htt tsm.w s rallying call from t other side Ihu;kerry," and the wild birds 1;h;;1 needed so ivuch getting at and such quick firing, and of the deep sea fishing, and tho shooting up the coombs from Farmer Pulaford'e boat, and of the delight of stripping on a hot. summer « (IFy, and diving deep down into fcht cool, bracing wider. Why should I wish to l^a^'e all this What rhould I be likely to find pleeusantw in the world of which, as yet, I know nothing? For a moment or tll,'O I hesitated—but it Was only for a moment or tvo. The rt«tlas«nes8 ■which had been growing up within me for years was built upctr. a solid foundation, aGd w:mld Dot i. silemwed. No. I'm not tired of tha country, father," I t-nswev.vl. slowly; "i h>v« it too U1è10!¡ ever y-, he tired of it. But mcku don't gyin-sraUy £ v<t atl Muar tonfmjzi one plasty do 1km» Wjib,. out having any work, or anything to do except enjoy themselves ?' "And what should you like to be?" my father asked, quickly. I had long ago made up my mind upon that point, and was not slow to answer— "I should like to be a soldier," I declared, emphatically. I was very little prepared for the result of my words. A spasm of what seemed to be the most acute pain passed across my father's face, and he covered it for a moment- I w:th his hands. When he withdrew them he looked like a ghost, deathly pale, in the golden moonlight, and when -he ,spoke his voice! trembled witlh emotion. "God forbid that you should wish it seriously he said, "for it is the one tiling which you can never be." "Oh, Hugh, you do not mean it really you do not wish to go n.wav from us ?'' I .turned round, for the voice, a soft and gentle one, was my mother's. Sli,, was stand- ing in the open window, with a fleecy white shawl around 1wr lieivd, a.r.ù her eyes, the sweetest I ever saw, iixed appallingly upon mo, I glanced from one to the other blankly, for my disappointment was great. Then, like a flash, a. sudden conviction laid hold on me. There wa-s soxne. groat and mysterious reason why we had lived so long apart from the world. CHAPTER III. I. "THE BOY MUST BE TOLD." That Viis quite an eventful night, in our quiet life. While ve toree stood looking nt one another half fcew/ully—I full of this strange, new idea which bad just occurred to me.we heard the 'latch of our garden gate lifted, and Mr. Cox, tlvo vioar of Porlook, and my in- structor iu the cl.is.sios, followed by no fewer tlian four largo-limbeu, broud-ih,ouldered; Per. feqk eatcsocd. They made their way up the steep garden pat.h, and my father, in no little surprise, rose to gieet them. With Mr. Cox he shook hands, and then glanced inquiringly at his followers, | who, after touching their hats respectfully, f stood in a row, looking supremely uueemfor- I I broke off all at once, for hia face had become like a dead man's, and he had eunfc I heavily on to a seat. table, and each betraying strong disposition to retire a little behind the others. Mr. Cox od to explain matters. "You qxe pleased to look upon us as a deputation," he wiid, pleasantly, waving his hand towards the ot.hers, of whioli I :un the I spokesman. We come from the Porlook Work- ing Men's Conservative Club." J "THE BOY MUST BE TOLD." ?;r boweiU and* lading V» briug ?.?- forward) a garden seat, requested the deputa- tion to be seated. Then he called into the house for Jane to bring out some jugs of cider and glasses, and a decided smile appeared on the somewhat woodl-n faces of the deputation. I was vastly interested, and not a little curious. When, the cider had been brought and dis- tributed, and a raid made upon the tobaoco jar, Mr. Cox proceeded with his explanation. "We have come to ask you a favour, Mr- ATbuthnot," he said. "We are going to hold a political meeting in the schoolroom ait Por- lock next week. A gentleman from Minehexd is going to give us an ad/dress on the land jUieation. wibitiuMaHBiaee t-44 ks xejy interesting, -??-- and Mr. Bowles here has kindly promised to say a few words." 'Ihe end man on the scat here twirled his hat. and. being nudged by his neighbour, be- •trayed! -his personality by a broad grin. Finally, to relieve his modei&tv, he buried his face in the mug of cider which stood by his side. "The difficulty we are in is this," continued Mr. Cox, "we want a chairman. I have most ui fortunately promised to be in Exeter on that. day, and! shall not be able to return in time for the meeting, or else we would not have troubled you. But, as I shall not be avail- able, we thought that perhaps you might be induced to accept the off'ce. That is what we have come to ask you. My father shook his head. "It. is very kind of you to think of me," he said, hesitatingly, "but I f,.ar that I mu.-t decline your offer. Politics have lost most of their interest for me—and—and, in short, I fthink I would rather not." "I hope you will re-co-isider that," Mr. Cox said, pleasantly. "It will be a very sligtot tax upon you after all. You need only say a very words. Come, think it over again. We really are at our wit's end or we would not have troubled you." "There is Mr. Sot-hern," my father pro- tested. "He is in bed! ill. An attack of pleurdsy, I think." "Mr. Brown, then' "A rank Raideal." "Mr. Jephcote?" "Away." ".Mr. He.tton?" "Gone to London for a week." "Mr. Smith, then?" "Will be at Exeter cat-tie fair." My father was silent for a moment or two. Then he suggested some more names, to eacb of which there was some objection. "You do seem to have been, unfortunate," he declared at ia.tt. "To tell you the truth, Mr. Cox," he added, thoughtfully, "I scarcely know whatt to say I had made up my mind, fop cmaiu private reason, i.eyer to have any- j thing to do with public life in any shape or I form." "This isn't a very formidable undertaking, is it?" Mr. Cox urged, smiling. "It isn't. But the principle is the same," my father answered. "However, leave it in this way if you like. Give me until to-morrow evening to think the matter ever, and in the meantime ree if you can't find someone else. I I'm afraid I can't say more than that." The deputation thought- that nothing could be fairer than this, and nothing more satis- factory except an unqualified assent. I think my father imagined that havirng promised so much they would take their departure. But nothing of the sort happaed. Perhaps they found the cider too good, or, perh'-pe, they were tired afur tlie-ir dfty's work and tibe walk from Porlock. At any rate, there they sat for more than an hour, taking occasional gulps at their cider, and puffing incessantly at their blackened piJk" with a stolid, vacuous look on their honest faces, whilst my father and Mr. Cox talked a little aside in a low one. I fancied that I was t-hs subject of ,the-ir conversation, but though I strained my ears in the attempt to oatch some part of it I was unsuccessful. Once or twice the sound of my name ranched meo, but directly I leaned forward they dropped their voices, so that I I could hear mo more. I have always believed, I however, that my father was asking advioe from Mr. Cox concerning me, and that Mr. Cox \Va, urging him to send me to the U ni. versity. But I never knew for certain, for events were soon to occur which swept out of my mind all minor curiosity. At last Mr. Cox rose to go, and the depu- tation, w:ith manifest reluctance, did the same. My father courteously accompanied them to the garden gate, and shook hands with them all, thanking them for their visit. When ho returned there was a slight sparkle in his eyes, and an amtwed smile on his lips. So monotonous was our life that even such an event as this was welcome, and I could tell from his manner that he was pieased at the ? request which had been made to him, and dis- posed to aooept it. I detftraoioed to eaoourage [byp ifr b i -?- "Governor," 1 remarked, 'leaning over the wall and watching the retreating forms of tur visitors, "I hope we're not going to have many political deputations here, especially if they re all going to be as thirsty as this one was.

But a soldier you can never be." I was bitterly cisappi-nted and not a i:HI+' evrious, and an idea which had often coci'rrcd to me swept suddenly into my mind with re- newed strength. "Father, may I ask you a quMt-ion ?" He hesitated, but, did not forbid ne. "I have heard it l'aid down m the tillage— everyone says that you must once have been a soldier. You walk and hold your head like one, and—father, what is the matter?" I broke off all at once, for his face had became like a dead man's, and he had sun-k heavily on to the seat. I would have sprang to his side, but my mother was there before me. She had passed one arm airound his neeik, and with the other uf&e motioned me 1;0 so into the house. a -??? ?

About an hour afterwards, when i j pushed open -my window before getting into bed, there stole into my room, together with the sweet scent of jessamine and climbing roses, the sound of subdued voices. "He must be iold," I heard mv father say solemnly. "God give me strc-ncrtli." Then the voices censed fM' a while, but I still lingered, -and presently they btgan again, but in a more cheerful key. I moved away, and got in'to bed, but I left the window open as I always did. and some fragments of their conversation still reached me. "I am sure that yml need have no fear, Her- bert.

Then the voices dropped again, and I think that I must have dozed for some time. But suddenly I awoke and sat up in bed. startled, for my father's voioe was ringing in throuQ-h the window. "You are right, Mrlsn you are right. I will do my duty. The bor must be told. Tlie time has come when I must dig up my trouble ag-ain. The boy must be toid." Then I heard them enter the house (leaving the door wide open, a« was our ooinmon prac- tice), and ormie up to their rooms. Afteirwa.rds there was silence, but there was no more sleep for me that night. CHAPTRTR IV. "A MYSTERIOUS MEETING." On the morrow my father, not a lit'e to my surprise, appeared to be in a particularly cheerful frame otf mind. At breakfast f ■' he remarked that the dav linked well for fis-hiTiig, and ask**d me w lether I would not like to y-o.

"I hear rothing," I re-marked, ;<Utherin!» up my reins, for I was desperately hungry and cold. My father held up his hand to bid me stay, and then, turning towards the inland stretch of moor, shouted, "Hulloa, there! Hulloa! I Hulioa!" We listened, and, to my surprise, we heard almost immediately an answering ing shout, faint, and evidently a long way off, but distinctly a, man's hail. It was scarcely safe to leave the traok, so we stopped w'here we were, and all three shcuted. And, sure enough, in less tha.11 five r.inutes, we heard the sound of galloping hoofs, and a tall, stately-looking man oame riding out of the midst mounted on a fine bay horse, which seemed to have been up to its girths in a morass, and which was trembling in every limb.
