ANGELA,
:."/ By CLINTON BOSS.
OopjrrlKht, 1809, bj Clinton Rosa.]
The scandal mongers of the wheel are
confined mostly to those who cannot or
do not wheeL Not so long ago women
were likely to make mental faces at
other women who rode, bnt as soon as
they themselves were spinning along
with a freedom they never had fancied
they straightway wondered at all these
allegations. And how indeed does a
brisk turn tinder the sky and between
the fields drive away cobwebby notions!
In the old days a canter might do it,
but a horse is a lnxnry, and, even if
yon can afford it, it is ever getting ont
of condition and to be fit must havo a
modicum of constant exercise. Bnt now
all go a-spinning, the horseman as well
the one time long distance walkers,
the sinners and those who strive to re
gain this old world from the curse.
Among these latter no one is better
•quipped for the ancient fight than the
veotor of St. Matthew in the Park,
the Rev. Lemuel Springer. With body
and mind attuned to a fine healthful"
at 80, he believes strongly and
and acts hiB belief, and in
Uys, when clergymen sometimes
that their duty iB bat to heal the
htwt'i wonnd* and to preach the re
ward of simple honesty and cleanly liv
ing. it is a delight to sit of a morning
in a pew of St Matthew in the Park
and listen to the direct and human re
ita athletic young rector ex-
I myself remember him when
Na S on the varsity crew and a
very gnat man. He still could pull that
third oar as strongly, bnt the only sport
his duties now permit him is wheeling,
and if yon go to the park of a morning
yon may see him going np and down
hill and donbtless meditating those
word* for the soul cljeer afforded by his
bits of sermonizing, put always in Eng
lish tersely strong.
And yet he has had his troubles, his
experience*, his questionings, his sin,
bis falsity, and if yon will follow my
story yon will see how it all was due to
the wheel that once he forgot himself.
Of a May day the Rev. Lemuel was
ooasting dowr^jthe long hill into the
straggling.village of Bonndbush, West
chesteE^It was his day of onting, and
at noon he was hungry after a 20
"miles' exhilarating spin, and the world
had put its care away, and his blood
was tingling, and his heart singing like
the birds in the fields and the tree tops
and through the windy, blue spaces of
that spnny spring day sky. The old
-tavern at Honndbnsh, which bears on a
if*** faking sign a distorted likoness of our
_Jt great president, after long years of
^—"'desuetude again has found usefulness
through the revival of the road, and
flannts a near placard, "Lunches For
Bicyclers." Yet this afternoon Rev.
Lemuel thought he had it quite to him
self, SB the fat landlord pushed his shirt
sleeves further above his brawny elbows
and said he guessed he could give his
visitor "somethin that was fit eatin."
And Lemuel—I will drop his title—
thought the broiled chicken delicious
and sauntered into the parlor, dark aft
er the sunshine, with its haircloth chairs
and its colored prints of "Washington
Crossing the Delaware" and "John
Brown's Capture" and certain photo
graphs of prim, rural folk.
Now, usually. Lemuel was most ob
serving. Yet he had been in that room
fully five mhrates before he noticed a
figure stretched out on a couch—at the
dark side, to be sure, so that it may
not have been so strange that he* had
not seen her at first. Her face sunk in
"I need a elerayman," said the.
a pillow, she seemed to be sobbing
Lemuel at once made for the door,
when he heard a sweet and strangely
plaintive voice.
"I'm such a fool I Oh, I beg your
pardonl" she added, with such evident
confusion that Lemuel turned about
hastily to Bee what he held after the
prettiest figure of a woman in a witch
ing bicycle costume, and what she was
lite I'll leave you to fancy, just fancy
—that is, the very nicest girl of your
acquaintance—and you will see her as
Lemuel saw her much more easily than
from any description of mine.
"Ohl" she said, hastily rubbing her
•yea.
I'1 beg your pardon," said Lemuel.
"It was liny fault," said she, looking
him over demurely. 'I forgot this was
a public room."
"I am sure it was mine," said Lem
nel hastily. It was all rather strange
and sudden, and yet he decidod at once
she was a well bred young person.
"Oh, I am glad I" she exclaimed.
"I don't s«« why, he blurted out in
astonishment
"Because you are Mr. Springer of
8t. Matthew in the Park."
He bowed, remembering, with a bit
of conceit, that a lot of people doubt
less knew him whom he didn't know
from Adam or Eve.
"I need a clergyman," said she.
Now, at this astounding statement
Lamia itared his utter astonishment.
Did shs need spiritual advice! She
looked a bit worldly.
"That's rather a surprising state
ment," she added.
"I don't know." said he hopelessly,
"I mean," she said, "I want an
sscort to Greenwich, and with a olergy
man there can be no question."
"Idon't know,"said Lemuel again.
"You must think me strange."
He looked at her for a moment keenly
and made a very worldly reply.
"I think you delightful."
"You will let me go with you, then t"
"Why, of courso, if you ask me," he
said. And why in the world did he shy
exactly that?
"I do. and we must be started before
Mm."
"Him I don't understand."
"I will explain later. We mUBt be
started now. We havo no time."
"Ohl No time?"
"Can you oblige me. Mr. Springer?"
And with those eyes on him ho could
gnii did, andi having paid his reckon
ing, he was in the saddle, this graceful
young person beside him, again and
again looking over her shoulder. She
up a brisk pace, neither saying a
may brileve he was
brought liim to such sndden complai
sance. What if any of his parishioners
should see him as he was now, tearing
madly np and tlnwn hill with this un
deniably very pretty young woman and
running madly from him? Who the
douce was "liiiuY"—only, of course,
Lemuel didn't say "who tho donee."
"Oh, olil" slio cried suddenly.
"AhI What's the matter?" said he
slowly.
"If he should appear and attempt to
Bpeak to me. you must knock him
down.'1
"That would be rather unclerical,
wouldn't it?" said Lemuel.
"Yon must," said she.
"Oh, if I must," said ho, looking at
her and knowing ho certainly would.
The road forks a half mile farther
with, at the uiit. a bit of wood and
thicket. Aa you near the wood you have
the stretch of the road to the left, and
now as they camo into that view Lem
uel's companion cried out:
"Oh. I saw him!"
"Who?"
"No matter. We must hide. I don't
believe he could have seen me," she
added quickly.
And, dismounting, she dragged her
wheel after her into tho bushes.
"You stay there," she called. "If he
asks if you have seen me, you muBt say
yon haven't." And she disappeared.
"That would be a lie, wouldn't it?"
"I have no patience with a man who
can't lie when it's necessary," came
back the answer. And all was still, save
for the rural noises of the sunny May
day. But at last about a turn came a
wheelman. He was young and well
groomed by the hand of Hanover street,
London, W. Seeing Lemuel, he paused.
"Have you passed a young lady, sir?"
"What sort of a young ladyt" said
Lemuel, avoiding the lie direct
"Wheeling."
"A half dozen, I think, "said Lemuel
truly, breathing a sigh of relief.
For our young gentleman was in his
saddle and tearing on.
Five minutes passed. But presently a
face appeared in a leafy frame—a
laughing, tantalizing face—when she
followed, dragging the wheel
"He didn't see me."
"Now, what does this mean?" Lem
uel asked rather angrily.
"Is yonr pationce worn out?" said
she demurely.
"Yes, I think it is. What's yonr
name?"
"Angela."
"Angola what?"
"I am not going to tell yon."
"But yon know mine."
"Everybody does," said she, with
gentle flattery.
"Oh, 1 don't know! But what does
it mean?"
"Now, please don't be angry—
please." And she added, "You've been
so good."
"Have I?" Baid ha
"Yes I don't know what I should
have done if you hadn't appeared just
then. You make ine able to say if any
one should see me, 'Why, I am ont
with Mr. Springer, and he is a clergy
man I'
"Oh, dear!" said Lemuel.
"Now, don't bother, please! We'd
better be on the road."
And she mounted.
"Come on I" she cried.
And when he was by her side she be
gan again:
"I'll explain, as I ought Therewasa
girl, and she thought sho loved a man."
"Yea, Ihave heard of girlshkethat"
•"But she didn't really."
"Yes, I know."
"How do you?"
"Huml I have a parish,

"I never

Springer."
"I know of such cases," said Lemuel
laconically.
"And she thinks of the other girl,
and remembers how wicked she has
been, because she has been encouraging
Tom just for fun."
"She should lave felt wicked," said
Lemuel severely.
"Just then she sees a very prominent
young clergyman."
"Oh, nol" said Lemuel becomingly.
"Well, at once she snatches the
chance. She will appear to Tom when
be meets her to be out with the clergy
man. If he speaks, she will ignore him.
Should he persist the clergyman, who
is the stronger, will knock him down."
"Will he?"
"Yes, he promised."
"Did he?"
"Yes, because Angela wished it"
"Well, perhaps. But when Tom ap
pears why does Angela run into the
bnshes?"
"Don't you think it were better to
avoid the meeting?"
"Possibly."
"And now," she said, dismounting
and extending a hand, "goodby."
"You're going to leave me?"
"I live over there."
"There are a lot of honsss. Green
wich, isn't it?"
"Yes, Greenwich, but no matter
which house. You are going back to
town. I am ever so mnch obliged to
you. You have been ever so good."
"Angela," he said, "must it be good
by?"
"Yes."
"And you won't flirt any more?"
"I never do."
"Bat you have annfimwl to U—with
Tom."
"Lmb*
At. opiihgeiv
And she was in her saddle and smil
ing back at him and vanishing over th
dope, leaving liim rubbing his eyes.
At first ho thought he would follow,
but thou in Greenwich he likely would
meet soino one who knew him, and he
could not afford to nppear ridiculous,
particularly after such au escapade.
Yet, aa ho wheeled, he regretted his
resolution, and he envied Tom, and he
couldn't think of his sermon, and he
really was 011 that ride simply to clarify
his mind that he might make his next
iiscourfo a fitting one.
And back at his desk it was the same,
and his sermon wi'.n singularly poor
that nest Sabbath morning.
And he strove with himself and tried
to pat herout of his mind and to think
of 1. »w scandalous it all would seem to
any 12 his parishioners who should hear
of it. Yet he yielded so far as to find
himself looking about furtively for
Angela. Ho even, with some self decep
tion, wheeled several times over the
same roads.
But when he understood how impulse
was carrying him ho lashed himself
mentally as a hermit of old did his
flesh, and ho wrote a mighty sermon,
which quite astonished his congrega
tion, and after he had delivered it he
was compelled out of consistency to give
np his one indulgence, surviving from
a great career as a college athlete.
And he plunged deeper into his work,
and "God's poor" and suffering never
had more attention in that parish.
But he couldn't give up dinners and
routs altogether, as a certain attend
ance on these functions is plainly a
clergyman'8 duty. And at one of these
ho saw Angela and was presented, and
under her eyes he forgot himself, as,
heaven knows, clergymen are as the
rest of us.
"Angela," he began, "I have been
looking for you."
"Have yon said she.
"And Tom?" he asked fearfully.
"Oh, he's married!"
"To whom? I didn't catch your
name. Was it Mrs.
"No, it isn't It was—the other
girl"
"1 hope you have followed my ad
vice," he said after a moment.
"Not to— I told you I never did."
"I wish—I really wieh you would
make me the exception," said Rev.
Lemuel.
And the parish gossips—save, to be
sure, certain dowagers and prim acidu
lous virgins—declare that Angela, the
rector's lady, shows the rule—of an out
rageously lively young woman turning
Bedate, if her fancy and faith may be
caught and held, all of which, of course.

"So you have. Well, to go oq, when
she hears that man is engaged to an
other girl,.Bhe tries to 'cnt' the other
girl 'out'—out of pique—not love for
the man, you understand."
"No, I don't."
"Well, you are not so clever aa I
thought But to return to this girl"—
"Angela?"
"Yes, she was Angela, if you will
Angela encourages the man"—
"The man who just passed?"
"Tom we'll call him."
"Yes, Angela encourages Tom, and
Tom succumbs''—
"Do yon think so?" she said, looking
at him mischievously. "Yes, he did.
I must be frank with you, a clergyman.
And it goes on—in a country house in
Westchester in May. But there's wmall
chance in a house party, yon know."
"Yes, I know," said he.
"Of course you know, because yon
are a young clergyman of a modish
church. Now, to go on with the story,
Angela agrees to meet Tom on the
wheel. She .wheels for a long time be
fore the appointed hour, and, getting
tired, stops, as you know, and, being
tired, her conscience pricks her."
The whole neighborhood was pos
sessed with the Idea that newly burled
persons were to blame for the preva
lence of the dry weather, for In anoth
er village, not far off, a grave was
opened and the coffin unscrewed to
pour water on the corpse. The be
nighted peasants of this village were
of the opinion that this was the best
way to Induce the clerk of the weather
to supply them with much needed rain.

A British traveler in Africa, weary
and exhausted, was received hospita
bly one evening In the kraal of a Hot
tentot prince. Early next morning he
was about to write down the events of
the previous weeks when he perceived,
to his dismay, that the Ink In his trav
eling case was dried up. With a sigh
of disappointment, he was packing up
his writing materials when his eye fell
on a glass vessel standing on a bamboo
shelf, which, on closer Inspection,
proved to be a genuine lak pet nearly
full to the brim.
Delighted at the discovery, he sat
down and worked away at his diary.
Suddenly he was disturbed In his occu
pation by a young negress, who,
springing toward him, snatched the Ink
pot from the table In passionate haste.
Her agonizing screams soon attract
ed the other members of the family,
and the unsuspecting stranger was
soon made aware that he bad commit

The lafut Part of Trail,
A party of travelers In a train were
talking over their traveling experience
and the danger of accidents, and finally
the question arose as to the safest part
of the train. Failing to settle the ques
tion among themselves, they called on
the guard, and one of them said to
him:
"Guard, we have been discussing the
matter of the safest part of the train
and want to know your opinion."
"Want to know the safest part, eh?"
replied the guard.
"Yes. that's it."
"Well." continued the guard, "I've
been on the line for 15 years and have
been turned over embankments, 'bust
ed' up In tunnels, dumped off of
bridges, telescoped In collisions, blown
off the line by cyclones, run Into open
switches and had other pleasant Inci

the safest part of the train was that
part which happened to be In the

A ruuior goi about In a village In
Russia, not far from the German fron
tier, that the corpse of a woman who
had recently lieeu burled had turned In
thecoma. Everybody In the village not
only believed the rumor, but ascribed
the prevailing drought as the cause. A
village council was held, and It was de
cided that the husband of the woman
should have the cotHn opened and the
body replaced In Its original position.
The bUBband, however, promptly re
fused, and nothing could persuade blm
to yield to the unanimous wish of his
fellow villagers, whereupon the latter
took the matter In their own hands and
went to the churchyard to dig up and
open the coffin. To their great surprise
the body lay in Its original position.
Their astonishment was not lessened
when the legal authorities appeared on
the scene and opened an inquiry, with
a view of Imposing punishment for the
desecration of the grave.

than by tbe circulation of good, sound
democratic newspapers. The publisher
of the Chicago Dispatch, the great nati

A DAILY—AT THE
PlilCE OF A WEEKLY
The mo8t widely circulated weekly"
newspaper in America is the Thrice-a
week edition of The New York World,
and with the Presidential campaign now
at hand you cannot do without it.
Here are some of the reasons why it is
easily the leader in dollar a year journal
ism.
It is issued every other day, and is to
all purposes a daily.
Every week each subscriber receives
18 pages and often during the busy
season 24 pages each week.
The price is only $1.00 per year.
It is virtually a daily at the price of a
weekly.
Its news covers every known part of
the world. No weekly newspaper could
stand alone and furnish such service.
The Thrice-a-Week-World has at its
disposal all of the resources of the great
est newspaper in existence—the wonder
of modern journalism—" America's
Greatest Newspaper," as it has been
justly termed—The New York World.
Its political news is absolutely impar
tial. This fact will be of especial value
in the Presidential campaign coming on.
The best of current fiction is found In
its columns.
These are only some of the reasons
there are others. Read it and see them
all.
We offer this unequalled newspaper
and The Manchester Democrat together
one year for 82.15.
The regular subscription price of the
two papers is 82.50 tf.
