A BICYCLE CHASE.
BI MRS. M. L. BAYNF.
Milo Warren was making a call on a
girl to whom he was fondly attached,
although he had never told her so.
But this was a case where actions
speak louder than words, and leave a
girl alone for finding out if a young
man regards her wit'i favor. Every
girl is clairvoyant where affairs of the
heart, are concerned.
They were talking about their birth
days, and the pleasantcustom of giving
presents at such a time.
"Let me see," said Milo, thoughtful
ly, "did you say your birthday came in
September, Miss Nellie?"
"1 didn't say," remarked Miss Nellie,
demurely.
"Then it was December, wasn't it?
Some lucky fellow will be giving you a
diamond, perhaps!"
"Or a souvenir spoon," laughed Nel
lie; "you know they made jewel-spoons
for birthday gifts, but all the girls
changed their birthdays to December,
and the young men could not stand the
expense, and they sent a petition to
the manufacturers, asking them to dis
continue the custom, so no more spoons
are in the market."
"I I I really wish you would tell
me when your natal day arrives. 1
might at least send you a 'bunch of
roses, in remembrance of all the the
happy days we have spent together.
Is it this month, Miss Nellie?"
"You remind me of the parlor game:
'Is it this? Is it that?'" said Miss
Nellie, and then fearing that the
young man was becoming sentimental
she turned the conversation to other
subjects.
But the next day Milo Warren
AIl
engaged as bookkeeper, and inquired
solemnly at the grated wiudow, which
t0 appear, if that young man would
taiie luucli Willi luin.
"Certainly," was the brusque reply
from a mouth lull of pens; "I'll meet
thee at Philippi I mean at Hunger &
Co.'s in an hour.
He was there, and at the pleasant
spread of good things provided Milo
Warren propounded this conundrum:
"If you like a girl awfully, but
haven't told her so, and you think she
maybe likes you awfully no, I don't
mean that but if that girl has a birth
day, and you want to make her a pres
ent, and she won't tell you when it is
the birthday, you know oh, hang it
all, I'm everlastingly mixed up. Can't
you help a fellow out?"
uyurnu iicwiuii Jam aaiuc lll Hlllie
and fork, and looking Milo in the face
asked, seriously:
"Anydnsanity in your family, Milo?"
"None that 1 ever heard of outside of
my iown case, was the depressed an
swer.
"Reducing your heroics to a plain
statement, then, you want to (five a

"Exactly."
"Ishhe an Old Woman?"
"What do you mean?" roared War
ren, turning red. "I'll thank you to

"Oh, no harm done; don't get riled so
easily. 1 wanted to know if she lie-
loiiL'ed to the past ape or the present.
I take it, then, that she s a Aew
Woman?"
1 understand now. Yes, I believe
she has advanced opinions, but she
isn't one of those dreadful creatures
that advocate the wearing of bloomers.
Nellie is the soul of womanly modesty,
and
'Nellie? Do I know this bright par
ticular star?"
'Why, of course you do I quite for

"Well, I like that! And you want to
make her a birthday present nnd don't
know the day. Sorry, old fellow, but
1 eau't help you out. Nellie would
take my head oil if 1 told."
That ended the lutu-h, but an unfore
seen thing happened. Just as Milo
Warren left his company at the corner
he saw an urchin ho knwtv. It was the
in Oii-lion known as Nellie's youngest
brother, age seven, capacity for mis
chief seven times teven, precocity un
limited by any jhtioiI of tune.
Milo, with malice prepense, engaged
the dear child in a surfeit of avveets,
ami men askca, as 11 uiu iiiea was not
of the least consequence and had just
occurred to lihu:
"When docs Sister Nellie have a
birthday?"
The dear chihl looked at him for a
mi mir ut, drew his mouth round under
bit ear, elevated both eyebrow, and
said. In aronllding, infantile voice:
" hat'll yer give ter know ?"

brother, but found him busy and non
committal. So he waited and tried to
possess his soul with patience, and
learn to ride a bicycle without the zig
zag motion that had endangered the
lives of the populace and nearly caused
his arrest by the police.
Then he made the discovery that if
he gave his wheel its head, it would
behave much better than when he
guided it carefully, to the end that it
traversed both sides of the street at
once. After acting like a thing pos
sessed it learned to behave, and he
found himself skimming along like a
bird on the wing, with an exultant
sense of freedom and delight, and he
longed to see Nellie and tell her what
he had been trying to say for months
that he loved her.
And at that moment there whizzed
past him a vision in bloomers, one of
those dreadful new women of whom
he had heard, and now was to see. He
almost felt that it was disloyalty to
gentle little Nellie to even look at such
an apparition; but somehow she looked
so quaint in her saucy jacket and
I'aggy trousers, her neatly gaitered
feet were so pert aud independent, that
Milo looked and looked again, then he
gave a great vvljoop. and took after the
Hying wheel like a streak of lightning.
His coiitidenee stood him instead of
skill, lie went spinning along in fine
style until he reached a parallel with
the girl with bloomers, then he leaued
over to speak to her, toppled and fell
in a heap, but not before lie had gasped:
"Nellie!"
That young lady skillfully eluded
the wreck, made a fancy run and turn,
and as Milo gathered himself up, said,
pleasantly:
"Why, Mr. Warren, I didn't know
that you rode a wheel."
"I don't," said tne young man, rue
fully, feeling of his elbow to determine
whether it was dislocated or merely
abraded, "but yon, Misa Nellie, are
quite an expert."
Mir,s Nellie murmured something
about the wheel being a present from
her brother, and that she had not cared
to ride, but did just to please him.
"Hut you ou;,jht to see my little
brother ride," she said, with enthusi
asm; "he rides the wheel when I ara
not using it, and he makes it spin.
hy, he rides standing up, and I'm so
afraid homelhiug will happen to him."

wheel, ns if he preferred that way, and
