All kinds of people hired me, and
with most of them I could do very
well Xevor, though, with a fat
woman. There was one of tlio.se tint
thought she ouuhl reduce her lie. h by
riding, aiMl she lit right ibovn on me
the tirst time ho rame Into my hv.
How I riwttiNl that I had uot U'cn
Imrn a nuin'8 machine when he set
tled liemelf firmly In my saddle and
began fuddling like a duck in water.
After that every day he came after
me, ami I began to think that my bur
den was ui'M-e than 1 could boar. J
don't know why It Is, hut after omc
years of exiiericnce I inn prepared to
assert tlmt a fat woman weighing
pounds is Just twice as heiivy iik
a fat man of the same weight. If
notne il"ntbt will explain this he will
do all of us bicyehti a great favor.
However, 1 don't care very inio-ii
about it, IsH-attse I made It convenient
to dump the fat lady one evening into
a pond of water and sin; came so near
drowning that nhe has organized a
crusade against 1 ho wheel and has
bought an Interest in a patent antl-f;U
remedy.
But there wa another woman ;h,
me, what a delight It was to go living
with her. .She was a dainty little
ereature, light a a fairy and strong
as wire, mul she knew where nil the
prettiest place were, and we went
together, and Him drew pictures cf
sylvan scenes while I hiuicd up
against a tree and watched her by the
hour. One day a handsome young
fellow wheeled by, and they nodded
pleasantly, he blushing a bit ami he
ninlliug. Several days after they
came to my place together, and ulie
took me away with her for three days.
Tliat was a delight to mc, for wo went
far off by ea.sy stages, and the youa.'
man on his own wheel a beauty it
was. too went witli us. There we:c
others In the party, hut my Interest
.was in these two, and I paid no heul
to what the oih ;rs did !; where they
went Th' third day, ns we weiii
bowling homeward, my lady appeared
to lie 111 at wise, and there were times
when if 1 had not bad all my wits
about me we would surely have gone
off the iroad and over the bank into
Whatever nuy have l:en below to

was never far off, but he was not as
he 'kid teen, and after wondering
nearly all day wluit mould have hap
ismod, 1 rememlsTcd to have seen
them !the night ls'fore on tho piazza,
where I leaned up against the wall.
I was feeling the aiwl of rest and
did not pay iinwh aMetillon to them,
but I remembered that they were
quarreling (one of those lover's quar
rels, you know) and she was an inde-
pendent little lxxly, quite equal to cope
with any man. I knew this and go let
It pass and took my nut quite oblivi
ous to myi surroundings or theirs.
What really liappcned 1 don't know,
but it must bave been more serious
than I UHpoted, for our homeward
trip was anything but phmaant.
Then I didn't nee him any morn,
though she and I took many little af
ternoon and 'morning spins together,
I ald I did not see iilm any more-J
mean for some time. That was sev
eral week later. We had gone Into
quite a remote section, where there
was excellent sketching ground, umj
she deft me by a fence and clambered
across o. stony field among the crags
overhanging a Ktream. I suppose she
biid been gone 'an ihourwhen 1 beard
her scream, and a umiiiute or t wo later
a man's voice dioutlng. No innswer
came to It, mul presently his Jicad
shone above the rocks and he came
tearing my way. He looked dreadful
ly frightened, and when he saw me

braced myself to do my bent, and 1
think I added irtvatly to his speed by
my prompt re;iknsv to bis effoa-tH.
He didn't know tlmt a dumb wheel
knew uii.uhlmr, but I am sure my
lady would hive known, for we were
sm-h giod friends, and I have never
given her a mouient'H piln In all her

In any event the young man got Isu k

Drift of roiu!ailou to t'iiics ii ml lu
Sigulihance.
The closing decades of this century
are witnessing no more remarkable
plicnouicuuti than that shown lu the
migration of population, not so much
from country to country ns from place
to place In the same country. Thl;'
Interior migration Is most noticeable
hi the most progressive lands. In
Australia, for example, the rural dis
tricts pnqer and a few great ciiics
grow enormously, while nil the Iiiim'.
mediate communities are relatively
stagnant; but In the I'liited States,
the drift is unmistakably fnuu I he
farms to the nearest village, from the
village to the town, and from Hie own
to the city. The newest pillions of
the Western slates, which are still lu
process of settlement, have Hot as yet
felt the full effect of the cculrip'.e nl
Iractloii, for population tends to spread
Into a more or less uniform dcnsiiy;
but wherever Immigration has ceased
the new forces quickly Is'gln to tell,
and throughout the older willed stale:'.
In New York as well as lu Illinois and
Iowa, a universal and all-powerful
current has set In, sweeping every
thing toward the centres. This traim
pltntaiion has most far-reaching ef
fects. Politically, It transfers a pre
pinderanco of power to the great
cities, changing the results of Import
ant elections, anil Increasing the urg
ency of municipal problems. Socially,
It swells the number of the classes
most exposed to agitation and dlscnm
tent, intensities the dangers to be
apprehended from social upheavals,
and widens the growing chasm be
tween the classes. It concentrates the
wealth of the nation Into fewer hands,
and reacts profoundly upon the ma
terial, SKilal, ami political life of the
entire muloii. The importance of this
migration, therefore, Is hardly to be
ovcrei'iiniau-d. It is a striking ihar-
aaterlstle of our period that It Is a
period of universal transition, In which
large masses of people, apparently
against their own Interests, leave the
country, where homes are cheap, the
air pine, all men equal, and extreme
pi)ve;'iy unknown, anil crowd Into
cities where all these conditions, are re
versed. When tills movement has pro
eucded too fast, find the cities have be
came swollen with a surplus popula
tion for whom there Is no employment,
when urban expansion has far outrun
the growth of the contrihutnry terri
tory, and this condition has become
excessive and universal, a panic Inter
rupts this concentration for a time,
until the proper balance between town
and country Is re-es'iabllslied. The
more rapid, therefore, the proceHS) of
centralization, the more frequent and
Intense must be the periods of de
pression needed to correct 'II. 1 lenry
