It was a perfect day for wheeling.
Even tho slightest breeze#that took
the curl out of their bangs ns they
sat on the piazza of tho O’Sbun
House seemed to invite Florence and
her chaperoning aunt to go for a
spin. But that good fellowship nee-
essary to an enjoyablo trip did not
9 xist becauso Florence had a well
founded suspicion that her dear aunt
had that morning intercepted a let-
from Fred Lumsden, and tho
aunt was feoling that her wholly
unprejudiced lecture on the evanos-
cenoe of misplaced love and tho dur¬
ability of American dollars was not
being properly appreciated. It is
probable that in spite of the glorious
weather nothing moro exciting than
an ordinary family quarrel would
have happened had it not been for
. tho effervescing energy of Fred, who
appeared on the scene in that unex¬
pected way peouliar to true lovers.
“Good morning, ladies, ” he called,
with an effort at boldness that only
made tlio blood mount to liis checks.
“Beautiful day—or—isn’t it?”
“Beautiful! I’m so glad to see
you,’’said Floronce, with an accent
of sincerity that was perhaps em¬
phasized in order to spite her aunt.
“Perfectly charming, ” said the
aunt in the twinkling tone that re¬
minds one of the chink of tho ico in
a, glass of frappo tea.
‘‘I did myself the honor to call on
you, ” Fred explained as ho leaned
his wheel against the hotel steps and;
took a chair near Florence, “bocauso
I am going west tomorrow. I have
seemed v* position oivil engineer
with a western railway company
that is projecting a branch line, and
as I bad a day to spare 11nought 1 a
come down and bid you goodby.”
“So kind of you, I am sure said
the denr aunt. “I am so glad—for
yotir sake, Fred-that you have this
position, for I think a young man
should beign his lifo as cioon after
leaving college as possible. I have
no doubt that m a few years you
will ho a railway magnate.
Sbe rattled on volubly in this vein
for a couplo of minutes, and all the
whilo her words had the glib sound
of wine being poured out of a nar-
row necked bottle. It is a note that
you catch only in tho best society,.
and it means that the accomplished
lady who is talking is all tho time
thinking hard about something else,
The tenor of the aunt’s thoughts
were as follows:
4 t I mustn’t allow thorn to he alone
together. I know what these part-
ings mean. He has come down to
proposo to her, and she—tho little
hussy—will acoept him. If I lock
her in her room, it will causo talk,
and I can’t keep track of them all
day in these corridors. Oh, what
shall I do?”
When tho light finally broke, n
practiced ear could havo detected a
change in liar tone as she exclaimed
enthusiastically:
“Really, Fred, I am glad you havo

Tho aunt hastened to canvass tho
guests at tho hotel to get volunteers
the trip and introduced Fred to
many charming young ladies dur-
n g ^ bo ne xfc few minutes that ho
was embarrassed beyond words,
Presently tho party wr.s organized
and made tho start amid much light

satisfiod.

Well hunched, and nothing ]3:»p -
ponod. At length Fred found him-
8"if at Floronoo’s side and managed
to stammer-.
‘Don’t you fool you’d lilro to spin
a little faster?”
A glanco showed that she under¬
stood, and a moment later they were
quietly drawing away from tho
party
"Hollo!”exclaimed tho inevitable
tidiot “Hnvo wo soorchers with us?
Well, I feel like doing a lit tle scorch-
ii% myself.”
With that they all struck into a
gait that loft tho chaperon behind,
but overhauled the runaways. That
sohemo wns undoubtedly a failure,
“Lot us fall behind, then,” sug-
gestod Fred. After a slight hesita-
| tjon, for sho did not wish every ono
to see what hor feelings wore, Flor-
once slowed up, and soon sho and
Fred were abreast of tho dear, good
aunt, who had noticed their ruse anil
was following, panting, but tri-
nmphant.
Really it is kind of you,” she
pniivid. “I am so glad you wore
thoughtful enough to wait for me.
I am willing to go along just as
slowly as you please, for I love to
look at tho scenery. ”
Fred groaned, and Florence bit
her lip. tyow, some may wonder
why they div lot strike down a sido
road and leave the party altogether,
but it must ho remembered that
their lovemaking had not progressed
yet beyond the language of the eyes
and of tho hand clasp. It was only
tho prospect of a parting—perhaps
for years—that made their lovo so
intense at this time. Fred’s inten¬
tions had been frowned on for tlio
last year by all of Florence’s rela-
tives, for they all were agrood that
a student has no right to make love

toll you what let’s do,” he called
out . “Lot’s scorch from here to the
casino and have tho last man who
gets there pay for tho refreshment,
an d let the first lady to arrive bo
given a prize of her own choosing.”
He had gauged the enthusiasm of
the party to a nicety, and before the
good chaperon could protest effect-
ivoly all the young people had
gripped their handle bars and leaned
forward and commenced pedaling
f or doar lifo. They drew away from
b g r rapidly and wero coasting down
a Jong incline before sho had time to
oven guess at the significance of
Fred’s scheme. Soon a turn in tho
road took tho whole party from hor
view, and sho ohewed tlio wholly
bitter cud of reflection. Tho best
laid plans of mice, men and ohapor-
ons are very apt to go agley from
time to time.
Fred’s heart rose correspondingly
as ho saw how his scheme was
working. He calculated that thoy
wore traveling at about twice tho
rate of speed of the chaperon, and
that within half an hour they would
b0 tar o«ough ahead for his purpose.
Florence didn’t understand exactly
what his plan was, but she kept the
pace along with the toremost. She
appeared to advantage onthewheel,
and as tho color rose with tho oxer-
tion ho thought bo had never seen a
lovelier sight. Her lithe, athletic
figure scorned to swim through tho
air with that peculiar grace that the
poets ascribe to the gait of goddess-
os. Though ho could if he wished
have scorched ahead and distanced

have her out of his sight. So it was
soon evident that ho would havo to

a hill into a Iittlo valley where the
road was wooded on both sides, and
Fred saw that tho opportune mo-
meat had come. Guiding his wheel
until ho was near enough to Flor¬
enco, ho said:
“Wouldn’t you like to rest fora

j ,Sho made no response, hut kept
right on.

very much to say to you.”
ller color increased.
1 ‘ Miss Camden—Florence!”
“I mustn’t,” she half gasped, “i
did wrong to run away from aunt.”
“Well,wait for hor, and 1 will too. ”
“No.”
The truth was that Florence's
maiden modesty was beginning to
assort itself, and sho had been think¬
ing that in attempting to rush ahead
with Fred and then to fall behind
sho had boon too forward. Poor
Fred 1 In liis college oourse ho had
been taught tvi deal with tho la f?s of
nature and not with tlio whims of
woman, and ho was almost, non¬
plused. Already the others of the
party wore passing ovor tho crest of
tho hill, and they were in danger
leaving the little valley without
thing being accomplished. But
Florence kept scorching along.
despair adds to the resourcefulness
of some men, and suddenly tho lines
of Fred’s face hardened, and he
raced past her up tlio hill. When
he had gauged tho distance and di¬
rection accurately, he turned and
waved his hand at her as if waving

ing along side by side utterly oblivi¬

other. When they readied the on-,
sino, tho rest of the party had or¬
dered their refiushmonts and were
piling up a goodly hill for the loser
—who was so infinitely a winner.
He explained his loss by tho tumble
lie had taken and praised Florence
for her kindness in waiting for him.
When tho chaperon arrived, Flor¬
ence's absentniindcdncss and high
color and Fred’s elation told her all.
Not buttermilk nor ico cream nor ull
the soda sirups of tho world could
medicine her to that sweat poaoo of
mind she had enjoyed lie lore Fred
had appeared on the scene. If sho
wore not so far from home, sho
would probably have indulged in a
lit of pulturud hysterics, but she
consoled herself with tho thought
that matohbreuking is almost as en¬
joyable a sport as matchmaking.
Fred and Florence are not married
yet and much is being done to worry
them, but the reader may rest as¬
sured that it will not ho long before
a youth so resourceful will win the
success that will enable him to come
oast and claim his brido.—Truth.
