CIhmIo tllsappoared round a comer,
and when Jack came to It nhe was not
to be seen down the long avenue, on
which the suiwlilne lllckenil ,hron
the entwining branches of the trees
overhead. Jack went on leisurely for
a mile or two, then he Juiniied lightly
off his machine and trundled It along
iMSiide him. He was now uiHe away
from c'v;ii7. it';o'. deep In the m'rtdle
of the count 'i'. The road tad snii.n ii'
ly become very bad and Jack, who
knew the peculiarities of every lain
within inllis around thought It safer
to wheel Che bicycle along by hand
rather than risk a puncture of his
pneumatic tires on the. tfliaip flint
atones scattered witih such p.ofiHiou
along the way. Near a little mm it-
bridge over a clear stream at the hot
torn of a del he found what he cx
pocted to find a very pretty gul, with
a most woebegone, discoiwolate look
on her face, anting on the grassy
lank, looking forlornly at a to c. eh
that lay on the road .wltili the tire of
the hind wheel collapsi!.
"Hulloa, Oissie," aid Ja:k breezily
"Ilad a tumble?"
"No," snapped Gltwie; "I am not In
the habit of tumbling."
lAh," aid Jack, "I see what Is the
matter. The tire, to punctured. 1 knew
that would happen. I shouted after
you to toll you of this bit of road, but
you would not listen."
"I did not hoar you," Mild Clsxte. at
whtoh assertion Jack raised hh eye
brows with Incredulity, which mndi
Obisle all the more angry, etaieclally
as ahe knew ahe was telling a thing
w'liuih was not true.
"Well, I don't want any help from
you, she said, curtly.
"Why, of course not," returned
Jack, fitting down on the opposite
bank, and leaning tola bicycle against
the hedge. "A person who come out
on a wheel and doesn't know how to
imend anything tlwt goes wrong tos
ttimply a silly fool. One can see you
undorstand all about cycling, because
you have left your machine lying on
the 'ground, and the oil hi running out
of your laiirm."
Olssle looked at the young man 1u
amazement.
"It IsnU your lamp," fthe said at
hwt, 'tond I cau surely do what 1 like
with my own. 1 don t ee what right
you have to interfere."
"Bless you, OlsHie," said Jack, "I

Oil every hand we see the tinhaimy
