I IThaunted wheel] R -Yes, sir, that bicycle's haunted, I and that's all there is to it. I don't I fcnow a thing about spirits and I things like that, but if you ever I catch me riding that wheel after I midnight I "won't know it." Thus did George Springwcll vehe BB mcntly declare that the supernatural H had taken hold of his bicycle. The I tale that Sprinfnvclt tells is certainly I a queer one, and one that is appar 83 ontK vouched for by a number of H hi- triends. They declare that any BBS one riding the wheel after 12:30 B o'clock on any night will wish he H wasn't. The sensations experienced I ?- such a rider are described as I startling in the extremo and accom SB panied cry manifestations that are 9 of the hair raising variety. Springwell lives in a modest little I house on Lombard street and is a M clerk in one of the large dry goods I houses. He went to Buffalo last I July from New York and just be fore he left the metropolis he bought H a secondhand bicycle from a repu ! table dealer. This he took to Buffalo H| and has ridden it steadily to and rag from his place of business. lie is SS not what would be called a bicycle I crank, using the machine merely as B8 a means of locomotion between his I house and the 6tore. bbm It was only a few weeks ago that 1 he was aware of the supernatural Bra qualities of the wheel, and this he BBS discovered in a startling manner. He SB was accustomed to leave the wheel i in a small room in the rear of the Be kitchen every night. One day he fis bought a cyclometer, and with the fl aid of the instrument he found that fl the wheel was haunted. He took careful note of the miles flfl registered on the little machine and goon began to see that there were I small discrepancies, periods of es 8 act 1 y three miles, for which he could flfl not account. Every night ?b he look I cd at the cyclometer he took careful I note of the amount registered; and fl every morning it was just three I miles more. This bothered him con BB siderably, but he dismissed every I thing with the thought that the in B strument was defective in some way. BH or other. But a few weeks ago he rode out fl into the country for the first time in flflj *ne evening. He took a trip to the, fl falls, spent the evening there and fl wheeled home in company with a PB friend. He reached Tonawanda flfl about 1} o'clock and waited there S till midnight. Then he slowly ped y I fled over the brick boulevard to Y ward home. He was somewhat tired, I and his friend, a man named Zeiler, H-being more of a wheelman, was about a sixteenth of a mile ahead. I Just as Springwell reached the B clump of trees on this side of Ken ] more he began to experience what, [- , ] if his story is true, is something dis He declares that as he was riding 1 along moderately he struck a chili fl blast of air. This was on an Auguat fi night and he could not account for fl the extreme cold. Then something I began to work in his throat. Before I he was aware he was a prey to a most Bnorrible and vague iear?horrible jB because of its vagueness. Some g thing terrible, he felt, was about to Hihappen. He glanced from right to HI left. Nothing could bo seen or Bbeard. He thought he would call to fl his friend ahead, but felt powerless. Then, as he was riding, a power Bful something seemed to suddenly Hiwrap itself about him. He could i H feel cold hands suddenly seize bis 1 gl nauds as they guided the machine, fl &nd he could not release them from fl the ivon grip. He knew that he was \ fl in the power of some supernatural \ I monster and that the machine had m passed from his control. He wa ; B.yered from side to side. The wheel B described curious curves and he fl thought for a minute he was going to be thrown, to the ground. All I this time he did not have any con B trol of the wheel. He tugged with Ball his force at the handle bars, but this did not deviate the wheel from g its path a single inch. - Terrified beyond description, ho H could not shout. He felt a sicken Bing sensation sweep through him. B'He felt that something- immeasur |B&bly monstrous had complete coh [Bjtrol of every action. Of a sudden the pedals began to revolve with a 1 rapidity that he decbres was noth Wing short of marvelous.1 He flew up 1 the stretch that interv med between B^un and his friend with inconoc'v able rapidity, some nnknews power ? having its ghostly feet on the pedals. ,0n he flew. His friend was passed flu though he were standing still. Il'Ho tried to cry out as he passed turn, but could not. ; I a On into the gloom beyond til1, the. flcity line was reached, then on again over tho asphalt. The long stretch of smooth pavement'flew from un is der him. He jumped car' trades, ?WcUy feeling them at he passed, gander the white flare of the electric S '%hts he passed with his demon Bcompamon. He could feei that the ghostly rider behind him was pant B&g under tne exertion. He could Bfeel a clammy breath on the back of his neck that sent (terrible shivers B through ttn* whole body. B Springwell declares with ah ex I B pression that is indubitable evidence i mot his honesty that he wilr* never f or gget this awful ride till the last mo fluent of his life. The sensation ac companying this mad flight, h? says, jfloe is powerless to describe. There ?tas not : qnly the horrible th cmgh t that he was In the power or the~su- ! pematural, but other emotions that ! he says no language con ever por- 1 tray were concomitant. His very j sou? was swayed by their intensity j and seemed to be in a shadow of i something inexpressibly terrorsomo I and ghoulish. On he flew, and he. could make out a shadowy something dancing' before bim^something^'aguo-of*o<itlino and white in color. It danced now here, now there, and he felt rather than saw-that it was mocking him. On in the leadership of this phantom he flew. He crossed the- Belt line tracks with a bound, then felt ho was slowing up. But still he kept on until the curve that Delaware avenue takes before it reaches the culvert where the Park road passes over it. Ahead he could see the white shimmer of an electric -light illuminating its dazzling circle be neath it. He felt the icy hands that had never relaxed their pressure from-the moment he had first felt them loosen a bit of their grip. He was regaining control. But the machine seemed to be dragging something behind it. He felt he could now turn and see the ghostly monster behind him. He craned his head a bit, and at that moment he felt a terrible blow over the head. St?nned, he dropped from his wheel and lay on the pavement. Ho de scribes the half glimpse of the thing behind him ns something too inex pressibly monstrous to attompt to portray. He lay on the pavement for some five minutes, when Zeiler came up. He was riding like mad. Zeiler stopped when he saw his friend and helped him to his feet. When Springwell told his story at first Zeiler thought he was joking, but he was finally convinced from the look of abject terror in Springwell's face. They revisited the place next day, Springwell unstrung and hardly able to wheel. From the spot where he first felt the power of the some thing to where he was hit is exactly three miles and a few rods over. Springwell wrote to the man from whom he bought the wheel, and he received an answer that is certainly queer. The dealer said that a man brought the wheel in in good shape and asked a very small price for it, and that he, the dealer, thinking it had been stolen, would not buy it. The man swore it had not been stol r en and offered to let it remain there until he was satisfied. He had kept it through the winter and never a sigr of any claimant; hence he had sold it. * Springwell is at a loss to account for the strange occurrence. He is utterly unable to say what could have been the cause, save on the hy pothesis that some man was mur dered while on it and that it has thus become haunted. However that may be, the fact remains that the cyclometer registers of its own accord a little over three miles ev ; ery night._ 8llver Dollarn. ? government secret service man, I whose business is with counterfeit I ing, spoils the story that half the [ silver dollars are made outside the government mints and, being of the same weight and fineness of legiti mate coin, cannot Le detected, the silver in a dollar costing but 50 cents, making a nice margin for the .maker of the queer coins. The de tective calls attention to the fact that government dollars, being stamped cold.from silver in sheets, have clean cut lines, while molded coin hav*> not and are detected at once. For counterfeiters to operate a plant as expensive or as noisy as is necessary to stamp out dollars is impossible. Willing to Humor Her.

An Excellent Way to Take It Is In ; the Form of Jeliy. Coffee is very commonly drunk j after dinner, a custom which pgr- | haps is justified, particularly when ; wine drinking accompanies the meal, ! for coffee is an antidote to alcohol, j A hot draft of coffee is undoubted ly a powerful stimulant, eroding both mental and physical fcftigue to be borne- On the other hand, a cup of hot coffee disagrees with many persous, their digestion is disturbed rather than aided, there is interfer ence with the normal chemistry of tho digestive process, and the dys peptic must eschew hot, strong cof fee as well as t?a. The excessive drinking of cofi'ee is in any case an eviL But it is often forgotten that cof fee can be taken in other ways and in none better than in the form, of jelly. A clear coffee, jelly after din ner is every bit as good as the hot infusion, while it is free from- some of the drawbacks of-the latter. Cof fee, unlike alcohol, diminishes or ganic waste, rouses the muscular energy without the collapse which follows alcoholic imbibition, and gelatin in the form of jelly is cool ing, assuages thirst, is soothing and has a tendency to absorb any excessive acidity of the stoiacioh. Gelatin is what is known as a "proteid sparer"?that is, it sa^es the destruction of proteid, such as albumen. Having regard to these facts, therefore, coffee jelly should form a very suitable sequel to dinner and an excellent substitute for the in fusion. Moreover, the astringent principles of coffee, which, however, are different in kind and degree from those present in tea, are nulli fied by the gelatin. In short, jelly is an excellent vehicle for coffee, but, as is necessary in making the infusion, the quantity of coffee in the jelly should not be stinted. Cof fee serves an admirable purpose in dietetics, and those with whom it disagrees when taken in the form of a hot infusion will very probably find the jelly quite satisfactory.? Lancet. _ A Story of Rotsettl. James MacNcill Whistler used to tell the following story about Dante Gabriel Rosse'ti, and in view of the famous preraphaelite's eccentrici ties in his later years it can readily be believed. Bossetti had invited the painter of nocturnes and har monies to dine with him at his house in Chelsea, and when Whistler ar rived he was' shown into a recep tion, room. Seating himself, he was soon disturbed by a noise which ap peared to be made by a rat or mouse m the wainscoting of the room. This surmise was wrong, as he found the noise was in the center of the apartment. Stooping, to his amazement he saw Rossetti lying at full length under the table. "Why, what on earth are you do ing there, Rossetti?" exclaimed Whistler. "Don't speak to me 1 Don't speak to me!" cried Rossetti. "That fool Morris," meaning the famous Wil liam,? "has sent to say he can't dine here tonight, and I'm so mad I'm gnawing the leg of the table 1" Obliging the Conductor. r: "Step lively 1" bawled the con ductor as the crowd started to board his car. "Step lively there 1" The portly father climbed, wheez ing, aboard, carrying a small and chubby boy. Next came a little bright eyed girl of six, perhaps, while the mother climbed on last, carrying the baby. S There were seats for the father, the mother, the amaU boy and. baby ?the last two on their parents' knees?but the little girl had to stand. "Mercy on us, Hester 1" said the mother. "What ore you hopping about that way for?" The little girl was clinging to the seat ahead and was dancing excited ly, hopping on one foot and then the other as fast as she could. "Why, mamma," she said, still eying the stern conductor, "I'm stepping lively!'" Even the conductor smiled.?New York Press. _ An Excellent Opportunity.

Although it may be conceded that among the animals of fiction the horse holds first place, the part played by dog?., especially in modem literature, is very large and impor tant. The pages of many famous novels have presented us with mem bers of the canine race as careful In drawn and as lovingly delineated as any of the human characters intro duced. Not infrequently the role of hero or heroine is doubled, with, or wholly supported by, a dog. And in numberless'instances it is the inter vention, conscious or unscon6cious, of a dog upoD which the whole plot turns. As might bo expected, it is among the works of finch novelists as are specially noted , as dog lovers that the finest end most frequent de scriptions of their four footed friends are to bo found,.and natu rally Sir Walter Scott, well known for his extreme attachment to dogs, heads the list. Big dogs are Scott's special-favor ites, and his noblest example is "Sir Kenneth's hound Rosval, who bears an all important part in the plot of "The Talisman.'* Rosval is de scribed as a large staghound of splendid proportions and great sa gacity, who shares his master's watch on St. George's Mount 'beside the banner of England, above the camp of the crusaders. Tempted by woman's guile, the flight for sakes his post for a short space, leav ing Rosval to guard the flag. A base attack is made in his absence, and Kenneth returns to find the flag gone and its faithful defender wounded apparently to death in its defense. Kenneth's remorse for the j violation of the English banner is scarcely more keen than his grief ! over the dog, who wags his tail and licks his master's hand even in the I agonies of death. It is a most touch I ing scene, drawn by a master hand, and the reader's satisfaction is not I less than the knight's is represented to \w "'hen the Arabian physician Salaa-i, disguised, appears oppor tunely, and by his timely ministra tion saves the hound, who lives to identify his tili then unknown as sailant by dragging him bodily from his horse. In "Ivanhoe," Gurth, the swineherd, possesses a noteworthy dog, Fangs by name, "a rugged, wolfish looking dog, a sort .of lurch er, half mastiff, half greyhound," who assists his master in the care of his refractory charges, is wounded by Cedric the Saxon, and whose ad ventures are carried on throughout the book. Dickens was a dog lover, and pos sessed several dear canine friends. It is recorded in his biographies how greatly moved he was on one occa sion by the sympathetic concern evinced by two of his favorites, Turk and Linda, when during a walk he was suddenly struck with lameness. Thackeray, however, makes little use or mention of dogs. George Eliot also lays no great stress upon them. Fictionshire, England.

ENGLISH HORSEMEN. - I Trainers and Jockeys, as a Rule, Are ; Exceedingly Superstitious. | The world in general seems to rec ognize that gamblers are as a class most superstitious, but those usual ly hard headed business men?the trainers of race horses and the jock eys they employ?are so notoriously given to cherishing superstitions that particular members of both classes will not enter or ride a horso ?t certain places unless absolutely compelled to do so against their bet ter judgment by owners-of horses. This superstition in regard to. lo calities-is-sowoll known that the gen eral body of racing men arc apt quite as an everyday matter to esy: "Oh, Blank never wins a race hero.

Rheumatism Secondhand. "Well," exclaimed Mr. Queercasc, "you can talk as you like about phys ical affliction, but the largest that ever struck me was when I had the rheumatism in my brother.'* "Rheumatism in your brother!" exclaimed his auditors in concert. "What are you telling us ?" "I'm just giving you a case of stalwart affliction that ought to bring your sympathy out by the roots," was the reply. "The kind of rheumatism that he had was the kind that hangs over the edges and treads on the adjacent martyrs. Why, the way he'll yell and keep me awake at night and have me tying on bandages and rubbing joints and smelling all-sorts of lotions, and the way he would kick me out of bed when his other leg hurt him too much, was energiz ing. Primary rheumatics is bad enough, but?to have to take it-in a secondary form is petrifying." The ILaugh of a Woman. A critic of mankind observes that women laugh much more success fully than men; that is, they know how to do it agreeably and discreet ly, whereas a man merely opens his mouth and emits a huge and usually an unmusical sound. Ko man looks his best when he is laughing heart ily. A woman, on the contrary, may enjoy a joke or a situation quite as much as he and laugh just as much, but she manages to do it as a rule without disarranging her features or her toilet and without smiting disagreeably on the tympani of ether people. The tinkle of femi nine laughter is generally pleasant to listen to; it sounds well across water; it floats pleasantly on the breeze, and, though there are excep tions, they seldom equal in disagree ablencss the cachinnations of the op posite sex.
