out. 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

cept that Mr. Bowser calmly rode

and one who noticed the twitching of
his ears and beard him gritting his
teeth might have reasoned that be was
planning murder. 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. My name is Bowser,
lama man who never lets go.”
“And you are going to try It again
this evening?”
“I am. within an hour.”
“It is foolish of you.” she continued.
“You may get a broken leg or some
thing to lay you up for weeks. And
even if you don't what have you
gained? No one thiuks It any great
thing to ride a bike. 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. I en­
joyed my little spin very much in­
deed!”
And Mrs. Bowser shed tears and
couldn't say a word. aDd the cat looked
solemn and wondered if all the legends
of that house were to be oveAurned.
