The bjcycle he sought nad one tire with peculiar lumps upon It. so with this clue In his possession Bent went to work. He soon found the track of the tire In the dusty road. As the bicycle thief was evidently headed for the city and Its ready money pawn shops. Ben lost no time In pedaling Portlandward with every ounce of speed at his command. Before the Morrison street bridge was reached the multitude of wheels of every kind had wiped out all traces of the lumpv tire. Bent went from one bridge to another over and over again, but still not a sign of the bicycle he sought could be found. Finally he gave It up and crossed the river. There on Front street was the mark of the tire. Then the boy began his search of the pawnshops, asking each broker to see the bicycles In stock, as though he were a prospective buyer. At last Ben's patience was rewarded, for in a shop on Front street near Mor rison wa the stolen bicycle. "I wish I could buy a good pair of bloodhounds," said ,.Ben yesterday. "Then I could do reil work as a de tective." " (Special DLpateb to Tha Journal.) Roseburg, Or July 16.
