The lady waa uninjured, but rery nmrry. With apology, we started ou quite tore from th fall, and anxious about the outcome Two blocks away und we were stopped hy th blur-coat and hurried to th- pilic- et'ttion. After they bad looked ui over tbj tried to make the ibarj;? of riding faster than the corporation limit, which is ten miles per hour, bat we showed our cyclometer and t x plained that we were rery confident we were not making any such speed. No doubt our innocent and guileless appear ante had much influence, for, after a fatherly admonition, they turned as loose, sadder but wiser men. Through a delightfully pleaiant, rolling country, with broad fields of ripening grain upon either side, wheeling in Cheshire, realizes all our dreams of English roads. Some twenty miles brought us into Whits church, where we turned to the east and in the erening, by the light ot our "bike limps, si found our c clomsters had rfgietered eixty-flee mile for the day's run. After a good night's sltep, ws were on early next day. The roads across Staffordshire are not equal to those ot Cheshire, but still good. A thirty mile run brought us to Litrbflsls. We demounted under the shades of Its famous cathedral, by far ths richest in external adornment we hare yet seen. Its three towers catch and hold the ere charmed by their symmetry ot solid masonwork, yet they are eo delicately adorned as to surprise one that ttono can be made to express so much. As the eye wan ders doanliom the heights It alights wpon the cathedral's pride, the west facade.' Tbe building is of red sand stotc I. ruis a rich background for tri aha bandied or more niches and status ot satnU aad krsgs cs rounded by ths most delleats sl exqolslts ot tracsry. One ait hers and study the beauty ot tflseta and ths graeral plcturesfueness ot the building for hours. The Interior is in keeping, and the red stone ot the" build log again adds its rich ef fect. Hut a few steps away and we stood at the door of the house where Dr. Samcel Johnson was born. It Is a plain, old, solid structure standing upon the corner with maseire itone pillars supporting a porch roof. Some twenty miUs brought us to Nuneaton, the liilby ot George Eliot, and a little fart hi-r on we caught a glimpee of her birthplace and home; then the three tall spires of Coun try eeen for milee away, told us that we were near our stopping place for the night. An eleren mile run, tender, bright skise. with the biids sioeinz In the hedge rows, the dew sparkling grass and leaf, gare us a farm hand ap petite for breakfast; and comforta bly seated in a cafe but a few doors from the lluguy government school, wf lingered over our tea and 1st fancy bring back Tom Brown, his pranks and trials. The old school building Is but slightly changed; here are tbe Identi cal little dsns In which tbe boys hare crammeel Latin and Grsek tor that many years. Thsy are six fsst square, sontalnlng a deck, a chair and ths regulation book rack. Tbe study ot the sixth form boy is about twice as Urge. As ws roamed through these rooms and halls, where every door and beam shows tbe mark and names of those who have here laid their foundation and gone out to Oxford and Cambridge ts reappear in tbe world, w felt that we were at the fountain head ot thoie great universities. .There are eerveral "new bouses" grouped about tbe iplendid chapel in ths rear ot tbe old, but the boys cling to the rooms so celebrated, and hap py is he who finds himself In tbe dormitory were Tom elept and the den where be studied. We ran across tha nams ofG. E. Hughes on the old dining room table whieh is still preserved in one otthe old halls. We dived into tbe kitthen and saw ths hole where the sugar lumps were given out. Dear old soot. It Is no wonder to us now that tbe boys love it, and that they fight to preserve its old, time-worn customs; we loosed to be boys agaio and take our place with tbe others at the term opening in the fall. St. liicbael is tbe ooe thing in tbe country which we shall nererfor- get. Its tall spire (303 ft) is a master piece rich in design; for more than a hundred feet up there are frequent niches with life-like statues, while tbe beautiful earrings and adornments' reach to ths very top.

From Stratford to Oxford there is some billy riding, that is, hilly for England, but at home it would not be considered at all bad. Oxford seemed to us too complicated, too finished, too perlect for comprehen sion in less than years. Other places may boast a single building or two hoary with age, beauteous lu archi tecture, rich in tbe association of genius, but Oxford ie a city ot euch building. Hawthorne said it was a despair to lee such a placs and ever leave it. We despaired ot hail see ing or at all comprehending tbe place. We wandered over tbe soft, grassy quadrangles, gaxed with awe at the structures where much of Eng land's greatness has been ecbooled, glanced into the museum and libra ries, and came away daxed by the multiplicity of great historical and literary names, and by tbeextraord inary splendor of richness ot carv ings, and towers and oriels and gate ways. A little adventure may be worth noting. A fair park named Christ Charcb meadow liee between the col lege of that name and tberiver where the boating is done. This meadow contains a doubts row oi ths most gigantic elm trees, with a walk be tween known ae the Broad Walk. It has also One walks beside the lets, and about It goes every where either the rirer or a high iron fence, or a wall. The place Is open to tbe public during certain hour, but is closed early. One of us was strolling about this park one night about dark; starting for an exit, be was eurpriseJ to Cod it locked. Another was likewise fastened. He went has- Rer. Irl K Hicks, editor of "Word and Works" and general gueeser at tbe antics of weather in America, has the following to say in tbe Octo ber number of his valuable paper: "If we bad a daughter who insist ed on riding a bicycle to church and marching up tlie aisle In red bloom ers to take ber place at tbe organ to lead tbe church music, she would have to decide mighty quick wheth er berbome, orberbicycleand bloom ers would be abandoned. Whether tbe congregation all had grace enough not to split upon tbe ques tion, or whether they were all God lees worldlings enough to applaud and approve of her shameless imper tinence, would have nothing to do with our determination; we should act purely on the merits of tbe cae as we see it. Either she would not be worthy to be my daughter, or 1 would not be her father. We couldn't live in the same bouse and family. Tbe pulpit hireling who could con nive or tamely submit under such circumstances, should not be tbe pastor of my family." Ipselasa Cum- S. II.
