WliMi long months had passed, ambition prtuided him again. This time lie tackled the bike in the back yard, and he did not lose consciousness until lie had seen a hundred feet of board fence go down la-fore Ills onslaught. Then be apparently concluded that the bike was not for him and said no more. When Mr. Bowser reached home the other evening, there was a look on his face that puzzled Mrs. Bowser. It was a hard, determined, desperate look, the look of a man who had made up bis mind to stop the water from pouring over Niagara falls or know the reason why. It was hard to guess whether he had decided to cut off the gas. paint the house a bright yellow or have an aching tooth yanked out. She asked him no questions, and he carried that look all through the dinner hour. Even when his favorite lobster salad came on his face softened not a line, nnd the cook turned pale and made up her mind that that was her last night in the house. For half an hour after din ger Mr. Bowser was uncommunicative “Burn old Cicero!" exclaimed Mr. Bowser as he stood before her. "If he was willing to I k - thrown down and do nothing to get even, then lie was no man. I reiterate that I will ride a bike 1 or die. nnd nothing but an earthquake I can stop me." "Well, know how it will be." sighed Mrs. Bowser. "There uro ilozeus of people sitting out and dozens of boys around. The people will be watching, ready to make fun of you, and the boys will do their best to bring about an accident. Teams will stop and loafers gather, and when you take a tumble the ambulance will come gal loping up and the police make a rush. 1 shan't dare show uiy face outdoors for a month to come, and they’ll prob ably write you up in the papers and have your picture. If I had a thou sand dollars In cash. I'd give it to you not to do this foolish thing." "It would be too late,” he grimly an »tvered, "for there comes the bike.” "And you mean to perform ." “On my life!” “And nothing I can say will stop you?” "Nothing!" “Then 1 will go up to my room and look out of the front window and see the end. Goodby, busband. You have been good to me. and I shall miss you and always remain a widow. 1 have said all I could, and I can do no more. If death must come to you. 1 will hope you will break your neck und not have to suffer. Again, goodbyl” Mr. Bowser's face softened for a minute as she turned away, but only for a minute. The cat was left sitting on the front steps, and she wailed out a sad meow, but without even a glance at her he walked out to the curbstone where the boy was holding the bike. A ripple of excitement ran up and down the block. People sauutered down to their gates, and the crowd of boys close«! in around Bowser and nudgeti each other and whispered: "He'll be dung on his ear!” "He’ll break down trees!” “It will be better than a circus!" Mr. Bowser turned pale, but that des perate look never left bis face. He looked the bike over like a professional, put a little more oil on the wheels and carefully remarked that the tires didn't seem to be fully inflated. “Goin- out to plow. Mr. Bowser?" queried a lad of cheek. “Is it a new kind of street sweeper?" asked another. "Why don't some one stop that man from committing suicide?" shrilly de manded a woman across the street. But the remarks had no effect on Mr. Bow ser. He took what seemed a last look at his surroundings, drew a deep breath and carelessly threw his leg over the hind wheel ami s«‘ttle<l in the saddle ami started off. "He’s a goner!" shouted half a dozen boys. “Pick up the pieces!" yelled half a dozen more. "Funeral day after tomorrow!" added the remainder. But nothing happened thing ex cept that Mr. Bowser calmly rode -A-------- Silas «1. I)Qy A NEW BUSINESS BLOCK SONVILl b An Attractive Two-Story Block Now Under Construction at Medford.

At last he spoke: "Mrs. Bowser, a boy will be aioog with a bike soon after dark.” “Yes?” she queried. “It is a bike I have borrowed.” "Yes?” “It is a bike I am going to ride up and down the street or break my neck in the attempt.” “But—but I thought you were through with bikes?1» she said. “Not at all.« The thing has simply been postponed. Nothing on the face of this earth can ever throw me on my head and escape me. I have been waiting to get my business affairs in good shape before trying again. If 1 perish, you will now be left in com fortable ctacumstances.” “Has any doctor advised you to ride for your health?” “No, ma'am. My sole and simple ob ject is to secure revenge. Years and years ago. when the blamed thing kicked up with me and landed me on the back of my neck. I swore a solemn oath that I would never give up. Every time I have been thrown I have re newed that oath.

Suppose Cicero had fooled bls time away with a bike, what would be have amounted to In history?” down to the corner and turned about and rode the length of the block, and this he repeated fourteen times before he drew up at his own curbstone and dismounted. His wheel had scarcely wabbled during the whole- time. He had come off with dignity and victory. He had met the enemy, and the enemy was liis. Mrs. Bowser came <iown to welcome him. the boys cheered, and the adults clapped their bawls, and as ho ascended the steps be carelessly and indifferently observed: “Thank you. Mrs. Bowser. Yes.
