peatedly driven in u pi foot circle.
The wheel is of aluminum and stands
lei t .’{ inches high. It consists of an

wheel just alioiit lug enough for a man
to crawl through, and these two con-

strong steel spokes.

much friction.
Mr. Wiluuil says that it conveys to
the body of the rider the least vibra¬

traction wheel is so immense that it
rides over small obstructions which ua-

It was -. nthiisiastic in its support and

great was the general eagerness to meet
file requirements of a person of evident
wealth.
Ills Arrival in St. Ttionins.
Laseelles arrived on schedule time,
supportiiin.g his liride, who was seriously
ill, and attended hy nn imposing reti¬
nue of trained nurses vftio had been
especially engaged in Buffalo for the
journey. The new-comer, aristocratic in
appearance and fascinating ill manner,
was welcomed with cordiality by local
society.
By special dispensation from the
town council the street in front of the
hotel was covered with tan-bark and the
four best physicians of tlie neighborhood
were engaged at their own price to
atten ] the sick woman.
Then a report was circulated, origi¬
nal fng no one knows vlbere, that La Reel¬
ing was Lord Beresford, whom every¬
body knew?in Canada as a distinguished
Un.glish soldier and aristocrat. Lnseellea
up;‘eared to lie annoyed at the supposed
discovery of his Identity -and refused to
die -utas the rumor, hut in such a way as
to strengthen belief in the story. This
was a week after his arrival in St.
Thomas, and about the time his wife
was pronounced out of danger.
A round of gayeties followed, with
the supposed lord a« the central figure.
Among those who showed much Manager at¬
tention to Las cedes v/ere
Ix> kwood, of tlie local bank, and the
superintendent of the Canadian South¬
ern-Railroad. who vied with each other
in their receptions and parties in his
honor.
Knew How to Deal Cards.
In the midst of all these gayeties the
distinguished visitor found time to fake
part in the nightly game of draw po¬
ker at the club. Tie began with appar¬
ent reluctance and played at first with
indifferent luck. But hy a remarkable
run of good fortune in the shape of
“pat” bauds at critical moments on his
own deal Lascelles managed to pull out
$5,000 ahead on his last night at St.
Th omas.
It was a sad day for the fashionables
of that resort when the supposed lord
nnd his -wife went away in a private
car furnished hy the railroad superin¬
tendent. who, -as a last mark of esteem
for his noble friend, cashed his cheek
on a London bank for $1,000.
“I’m short of ready cash.” remarked
La seel I es on the morning of his depar¬
ture, and it is said the notables of the
luifn fairly tumbled, over one another
with tenders of assistance. All offers
were accepted,Mr. Lock wood being a con¬
tributor to the extent of $1,500. It is
said the amount of cash taken out of
St. Thomas hy Laseelles as the result
of “pat” hands and worthless drafts
was $0,000. .
He vanished at Detroit and was not
to he found bv }fis St. Thomas victims
when the London bank reported La seel-
lew’s total deposit at 5 pounds.
Escape and Recapture.
The swindler's subsequent operations
in Rome. Ga.. which led to his Impris¬
onment. are well kndwn- to the public,
as is the story of his escape from pris¬
on. but the heretofore unwritten details
of his recapture -a week later prove the
daring of the man. Once rhitsido the
prison walls he made his u'ay direct
to Rome, where he had been originally
arrested. Learning of a big poker game
at the leading hotel he borrowed $25
and “sat in.” and in twelve hours of
continuous play won $2,000. His pres¬
ence in the town had become known and
he walked from the poker room into the
arms of policemen.

Song.
O like a Queen’s her happy traad,
And like a Queen’s hr.r golden head!
But, O, at last, when all is said,
Iter woman’s neart for me!
We wandered where the r.-ver gwarned
’Neath oaks that mils d and pines thal
dreamed.
A wild thing of the woods she seemed,
So proud, and pure, and free!
All heaven drew nigh to her her sing.
When from hur lips her soul took wing;
The oaks forgot their pondering,
The pines their reverie.
And O, her happy, queenly tread,
And O, her queenly goildem head!
But O, her heart, when all is said.
Her woman’s heart tor me.
—William Watson.
