That cuded the lunch, but an unforeseen
tlnug happened. dust as
Alilo Warn u left lus company at ine
corner he saw an urchin he know. It
was the infliction known as Nellie's
youngest brother, ago seven, capacity
for misclii if, seven times seven, pre

the dear child iu a surfeit of
sweets, aud thou asked, as if the idea
was not of the least consequence and
had just occurred to him:
"When docs Sister Nellie have n
birth lay?"
The .U ar child looked at him for a
moment, drew his mouth around under
his ear, elevate 1 both eyebrows
and said in a confiding, iufautile
voice :

Advantageous terms hoia.* made,

the following Saturday i-> Ins Ulster's
birthday.
'An' if yer want to make yourself
solid ? soe, just f-oud her a real stunner
of a bike."
"What! A bicycle! Does she
ride ?"
"How kin she? I reckon she kin
h arn, mist r. You just sea I that
Ink*?there ain't uothiu' Nell wants
* nts nor tha?."
With this advice, and being sw.irn
to seerccy, the small terror bowled
himself off.
It gave Milo Warren something to
do to inir 'base that bicvole aud have
it delivered to Mis;* Nellie on her
birthday in an anonymous manner.
He oxpocte?l it back every hour tor
about a week, but it did not come, an I
he felt safe. The small brother Ua l
not betrayed him after all
Hut after a little ho hugnu to wish
he hail, for Miss Nellie had evidently
mounted that bicycle an 1 ridden out
. of bis life. He called, but she was out
ou her bicycle, no matter what the
hour was, noon or night, an,! he got
himself run over ou the street and
knocked down daily by dashing out
from sidewalk corners to see who tuo
rider was, and getting hurt for his
pains. When he could stuml it no
longer, he came ton sudden res #lve ?
he would buy a bicycle for himself,
and perhaps be able to find Wile*.
And now began an exciting chase
for life and liberty, for at one mom in
the amateur bicyclist was under tinfeet
of a trampling horse, the next he
was running over a wrutiiy pedestrian,
and he usually ended Ins experiences
by picking up his fri-ky steed an 1
carrying it to the shop for repair".
And all this time he never caught a
glimpse of Nellie, but he was .nclim-d
to thiuk he divined the cause, -fudging
from his own experience in b ar-.iing
to ri,le a bicycle, Nellie might be
exercising her own fractious a<- j wsit-oii
