INVISIBLE FRIEND.

The members around the clubhouse lire were talking of the prospects of the Bpring road races, and from that the conversation turned to road racing in general, and every member had some experience to tell. Only the wheelman who had traveled was silent, as was his wont until stirred to tell some tale of wild adventure by the questions of his companions, who seemed not more than to half believe his stories and yet to feel that they were really true, such indisputable proofs did the traveled one always present. On this occasion it was the club's road race champion, a member who wore a string of century bars three yards long, who said sarcastically, "I suppose you've beeu the greatest road racer of all of us, haven't yon?" "I won't say that exactly," replied the wiieelmau who had traveled, "but there was a time when I would have backed myself against the best man in the business. That time has passed and will never return, but if I should tell you the story yon wouldn't believe it, so what's the use?" "Gome on, tell it," broke in the bugler. "Don't mind him. He thinks he's the only tune the orchestra can play just because he's got a few bars."

The wheelman who bad traveled put bis hand in his* pocket and drew out a plain leather pipe case. Without a word he opened it and passed it to the club captain, who examined it curiously, for the traveled one's manner presaged a story. "I don't see anything about road racing in that," remarked the captain. "What's in it?" asked the champion liar. "Nothingapparently,"responded the captain, and, in fact, the case appeared to be empty. "Feel of the inside," suggested the wheelman who bad traveled. The oaptain obeyed the suggestion and started as though be bad been struck. "Why, there's a pipe there, but I can't see it," he exclaimed.

The other members felt of the inside of the case, and, sure enough, plaiu to the touch, but at the same time absolutely invisible, was a pipe. The wheelman who had traveled took the case, lifted something out of it apparently and held it up. Hid hand appeared to be empty. "What is it—a fine piece of glass?" asked the member with the pink golf socks. "Not a bit cf it, "answered the possessor of the wonderful pipe. "That pipe is a of the most faithful friend I ever bad and one who saved my life on or a than one occasion. I never hear road racing spoken of without thinking of him. Give nae some tobacoo, some one, and I'll tell you why I prize this pipe so highly."

The other members watched him curiously as he rammed the tobacco down into the empty air apparently, and they shrank away from him -as though he were something uncanny as toey saw the smoke rise from a distance of several inches from the smoker's mouth, but the member who had traveled settled back in his chair and began: "It was in the winter following my disastrous experience at ostrich farming in Africa tbat I decided a change of air would be necessary, and I consequently went to Australia, where it was then Bummer, of course. I bad an idea that there might be some good touring in that country, and I took my wheel along as a matter of course. I landed at Melbourne and found the town very dull. I wheeled along near the coast to Sydney and found it no livelier there, BO

I made up my mind to strike for the interior of New South Wales. I was warned that it would be dangerous to venture far into the bush alene, but I had plenty of nerve in those days and started out feeling better than I bad ever felt in my life. "The trip was wild enough to suit the liveliest imagination, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I passed through the heart of the kangaroo district and often stopped to watch the amusing antics of those clever animals, which can leap 40 feet at a jump and are as strong as a horse. "One day I was standing by my wheel watching a herd of them when all of a sudden they seemed to become alarmed at something and went off toward the horizon in great leaps until every one of them had vanished. I was wondering what had soared them when I felt a hot breath on the back of my head. I looked around with a start, but saw nothing. I heard,-however, what sounded like an animal panting for breath directly in front of me, and I will confess that I was thoroughly frightened. I attempted to show no signs of fear, however, although my hair rose so tbat it threw my cap off. and I stood there perfectly motionless,

K-

hoping that whatever it was would go away and leave mo alone. All sorts of thMights wont through my head in that brief instant. I recollected all the stone.* I had ever heard of men and animals that could make themselves invisible, and while I litul never believed any of them I remembored that some scientific men had held that it was possible for orpunit matter to become as transparent as inorganic under certain conditions and present neither of the phenomena of refraction and reflection of light. I was convinced in a moment that some beast possessing snch qualities was confronting me, and my belief grew to certainty when I felt a hairy paw caressing my hand. Instead of baing frightened at this unexpected demonstration I was reassured, for there was something in tho touch that assured me that my lifo was in no danger, hut that on the contrary the thing, whatever it was, was trying to make friends with me. I grasped the paw in my hand and was reassured by what sounded like a grunt of whose existence I had no longer the slightest doubt.' "Resolved to ascertain what kind of a thing this was, I drew it closer to ma aiii began to feel of it. The thing stood perfectly quiet, and it was not long before I recognized the fact that it was a kangaroo ol' enormous size, but absolutely invisible. "Well, to cut a long story short, the kangaroo developed the strongest at. tachment for me and followed me wherever I went. I trained it to tow me up hills and sometimes across the level plains, its easy method of progression by great jirnps carrying me along far more swiftly than I could have pedaled. If the kangaroo strayed away, all I had to Ilo was to whistle, and it would come to me, bounding across tho open with great leaps, the progress of which I could trace by the depression in the grass where it alighted, although I could not see the beast itself. "One day we struck a gold mining oarupi and 1 decided to stay there for a few days. the first night of my stay, however, I gc,t into an altercation with one of the miners, who was intoxicated, and he drew his revolver and fired at me. My faithful kangaroo, unseen, stepped between us and reoeived the bullet himself, as I afterward learned, although it was a mystery to me as well as to the bystanders tbat I did not fall with a bullet in my brain. At the same instant the kangaroo struok out with his powerful hind leg and caught the miner full i:i the solar plexus, knocking him out completely. The whole affair was so sudden that none realized what had occurred, and some were inclined to believe that the ruffian had had a stroke of apoplexy. I went to my hotel, and they took the miner to his shanty. "Along toward morning I was awakened by my host, a decent sort of escaped convict, and informed that the miner had died and tbat soma of his friends were going to carry out the design which be had formed before his death of killing me. 'I don'-t dare lend you a horse,' said the man,'but you get on your wheel aud ride away as fast as you can, or they'll catch you sure.' "I started out promptly, for I did not want to be the object of a vigilance committee's deliberations, and was soon wheeling over the plains. I had my faithful kangaroo at my side, and

I noticed that he coughed and appeared, from the sound, to be spitting blood. This puzzled me at first, but I quicklyrealized that be must have been shot in the lung, and I felt more sorrow than I can express at the thought. "I was Betting a pretty good pace, but it was not long before I beard the sound of hoofs far behind me, and looking back I saw fenr horsemen following me at full gallop. I realized that they were the dcud miner's friends, and also that there w.is no ehance of escaping them, for uiy wheel was in bad condition, sadly in need of oiling, and it waB impossible to ride it over the rough surface of the trail as fast as the swift bush hf.rscs could gallop. There was only one thiug to do I called the kangaroo towaid'me and attached my stout rawhide lariat to his enormous tail, tying the other end to the head of my bicycle. I chirruped, and the faithful beast started off with leaps and bounds that nearly unseated roe, but I managed to stick on, and soon Baw that I was distancing my pursuers. I was not satisfied with that, however, but resolved that I most not slacken speed until safely beyond their radius of action. I urged my mvisi jle motive power on to greater efforts, and before sundown we were more than 200 miles awiy from the mining camp. "It was just as the sun was sinking over the trees that the kangaroo stopped 6hort, and as I rode forward th3 wheel struck his prostrate body. I dismounted aud knelt beside him. As I did so I felt the warm lifeblood pouring from a great wound in his side, heard a faint moan, aud then the poor beast licked my btuid, gasped convulsively and died. Ho had given his life to save mo."

The wheelman who had traveled paused, knocked the ashes from the invisible pipe, replaced it in its case and wiped away a tear. "But what of the pipe?" asked one of the members. "Oh, yes—the pipe. Well, I rode on toward civilization, not daring to stay in those parts much longer, and the following spring I went over the same ground again with a large party. We found at the spot where I had left the dead kangaroo the skeleton bodies of four horses and their riders. I realized at once what had happened. My pursuers had followed me, their horses had stumbled over the invisible body of the dead kangaroo, and they had all been killed. The fact tbat the neck of each oorpse was broken proved my theory. I groped among the bones for those of my faithful friend and soon found them. I placed several of them in my traveling case, and when I returned to Buffalo I had this pipe made from twp of tbem. The rest I mislaid and have never found tbem. I may stumble across tbem some day."—Buffalo Express.

tynart Shop Law Is Vali(|) The supreme court affirmed the judgment of ttio circuit court of St. Joseph countj, finding Peter Daniels, who kept a "quai shop" at South liend, guilty for selling beer without a license.

Tho appellant asserted that the law pat-sed b\ the last legislature requiring everj liquor dea.'er to trkc out a enmity license except wholesale dealers, who do not sell in less quantifies than five giillons at a time, was inoperative on ,tceouut of its failure to prescribe a penalty for its violation. Hut if the court should adopt the theory that the general statute for doing any act without licensee Hpplied to such sales of liquor then he insisted tbat the law violated the federal constitution by discriminating "against wholesale dealers, corporations and druggists."

The supreme court holds that the genoral law imposing a penalty for doing business without a license applies to illegal sales of intoxicating liquor, and that the act is constitutional. In reaching a decision of the latter question the court finds it necessary to hold that the law does not apply to brewers, distillers and others who fell only to dealers, but only to those who sell 10 con-

A Tandem.

What woman in all the wide world would not be glad to be a tandem for two happy, healthy, prattling babies

When Nature whispers the sweet assurance in a woman's iear that soon a little stranger will come to tcaress with baby fingers

her cheek and neck, she makes the fondest preparations for its arrival. Everything that a woman's dainty taste can imagine is provided for the new-comer's wardrobe. Nothing is overlooked save one thing, and that one thing is the most important. Too many mothers forget that baby's strength and health, its ability to withstand the nsual ailments of childhood, and its vigor and welfare, as a man or woman, are dependent upon her own health and physical condition duriag the period of prospective maternity. If, during that critical time, she is weak, sickly, nervous and despondent, because of troubles peculiar to her sex, these conditions are bound to have their influence upon her baby's health. Neglect of these conditions invariably mean9 that baby will be weak, puny and peevish. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is an unfailing cure for all troubles of this nature, and it will reinforce a woman's bodily and nerve strength so that she can safely undergo the trials of maternity. It gives health, strength, vigor, elasticity and endurance to the organs specially concerned in motherhood. It giv»s bodily and nervous hardihood to the child. "After using fifteen bottles of your 'Favorite Prescription' and a few vials of your Pleasant Pellets, I am entirely cured of uterine trouble. I had suffered for nearly three years," Writes Mrs. P. W. Fogel, of 373 Highland Ave., Newark, N.J. "I had such terrible bearing down pains that I could hardly walk. My back and head ached, had terrible cramps in my legs, was very nervous at times, and felt miserable. With my first child 1 had to be chloroformed anC the child wai delivered with instruments. I took the 'Favorite Prescription' .with my second child, and instead of suffering for {two days. I was in labor only an hour and a beautiful child was bom. was able to leave my bed the fifth day. I eohimenced your medicine about four months before confinement. My baby is three months old now. and is a fine, big, fat baby. I' am in very good health have no more pains or aches. 1 would be pleas«l to advise any woman whowffm as I did to use your medicine."
