THE POST. \ 4 carriage is going one way along oad, and the post's bicycle is he other way, there is an anxious he persons in the carriage squeeze their vehicle, if they ito & recess, buteven then the » may charge into it, for the post's ichine’’ is more like a restive horse a thing of wheels, and, except when is a braetoclimb, it is constantly running away with him. It used to back e middle of braes and whirl him down the way he had come, much like a canoe y Wii W is¢ trying to ascend a rush of water and giv- ing up the contest when near the top. Now, however, the post is more cautious. When he comes toa brae he jumps (and fails) from his velocipede,as he calls it, [drags it upthe hill. When he istired of dragging he pushes. It has been noticed thatitisallclimbing. The post has to go is more like a chback railway than auythiug else, so he is oftener off his velocipede than ‘To the calm outsider the machine work, yet it is the one thing in this world he is proud of. He isalanky man, with hair that the wind blows across his eyes, and his age is He thinks he must be sixty, but someinthe glen say heis seventy. Every day he has some eighteen miles to walk (or “eyele’’) but we do not consider this astounding, there being several men of threescore-and-ten in the glen who can occasion. One of them, indeed, can even fish after it. However, John had set his heart on a velocipede, and two years agoa subscrip- tion was started to enable him to buy a second-hand one. Nearly twelve shillings were gathered ina single evening at the schoolhouse for this purpose, the teacher having got up aconcert (at which I read Mr. Stanley’s account of how he found Livingstone—though the hit of the season was made by our comic singer). After the money had been presented to the post, he changed his mind about the bicycle and bought a fiddie, to the great indigna- thon of the subscribers. He showed con- siderable canniness when taken to task. “How have I cheated you?” he asked the smith’s wife. “We gave money to let you buy a velo cipede, and you’ve bought a fiddle. That’s how you've cheated us.” “No, Mary, you misjudge me. In the testimonial I got with the siller, it said that the money was raised in recognition of my long and valuable services.” “Yes, and to let you buy a velocipede.” our glen ui the aw that on it uncertain “There’s not a word about a veloci- nece.’’ “Maybe it’s called a bi—bicycle, but that’s the same thing.” “It’s hardly the same thing, but I as sure you bicycles are not mentioned any more than velocipedes.” “Havers ! did | not hear the testimonial ‘read out ?”’ “Youdid; and lean repeat it to you by heart, for often I say it to myself when standing beneath a tree till the rain stops. The words you're thinking: of are as fol- lows: “This gift is raised te enable him to buy something that will make his jour nevs easicr. “And surely that means a velocipede %’ “[ don’t see but what it might mean a fiddle. The roads don’t seem so long if you have music to brighten them.” “Wellaware you are that these words were j put in beeanse the dominie’s heart failed him at the word ‘velocipede,’ be no being sure how many s’s were in i ust “If that’s so,’ said John, cunningly, “the blame for buying the fiddle should be charged to the dominie.’* it was apparently only to “stop talk’’ that the post by and by began to construct a velocipede out of his own head. At first he took little interest in the enterprise, perbaps because he was hopeless, but soon he be so enamored of it that he grudged the time spent in delivering let- ters. My housekeeper wanted me to have m distnissed promptly (Janet thinks the ime ment would not dare to disobey the orders of a Free Church minister), be clnse one day he said to her: “Hie, Janet; there’s twa or three letters for the minister in my bag. You'll better cry iu atthe smith’s for them. They’re ou the mantelpiece.” en ‘Bring them yourself,” said Janet, in- “Pll try to run up with them," said the f udacious post, “before supper time, but I'm terribly busy making my _ veloci- pede.”’ “Are yon paid by the Government for making velocipedes,” demanded Janet, “or for delivering letters?” “I disdain to argue with a woman,” re- plied John. “Stand out of the light, woman.” “Woman indeed!’’ said Janet, her head high. John and the smith are only on speak ing terms now when the velocipede is broken, which is once a week or so. Then they mend it between them. Their auar- rel arose in this way: John began to make his vebicle in bis own kitchen, from which he was driven by his wife to a shed that is cold in winter, because it wants half the roof. Having made a machine holding here that looked complete when leaning against the side of the shed, but came to pieces if you tried to sit on it, John had to call in the smith, and for a month the two men were engaged in the evenings in giv- ing it finishing touches. They were great friends during this period, and, indeed, up tothe memorable day when the post's steed was first seen by tue glen at large. ft was so much admired that John felt it tobe his duty to himself and the pos- muaster-general to claim full credit for the construction. From the same day the smith took to maintaining that he had made the velocipede. “The smith lent me some nails and a hammer,’’ John said, “but I made the thing.’’ “A laddie could have done ali the smith did,” John said. “That's true,” retorted the smith, “if a laddie could have made the bicycle.” So flerce did the controversy run that the smith turned his back when John came clattering along on his wooden horse. Nevertheless both love that bicycle, and when anything is wrong with it they rush for hammers and twine. There isa great deal of twine about the machine, and when it cuts the wheels go different ways, To describe the post's velocipede is alto- gether beyoud my pen. To me it looks like alittle cart-whee!l in chase of a big one, with «1 excited rider trying to keep them apart “The post's coming !” some one says at the “clachaa,” and then mothers dash into the road for their children to save them from death, while terrified hens run this way and that. Then with a clatter John bears down upon us, shouting: 4 Puvy ond Freitul Baby, Th’s is now.quite unnecessary! Like weoy Others. you may have your baby fat, ell work ss done at moderate rates, \aughing aod happy if you give it Scott’ Emulsion. Babies take it like cream. i t Wiear tne roaa there! “Stop lim,” some one cries to John. “Teanna,” says John ; “he’s away with me again. Grip him at the back.” Some bold spirit seizes the little wheel, andis dragged along by the infuriated bievele until John fs able to descend, “Bring me « drink of water,” he pants. But it is pot always thus that the post arrives. Sometimes he is hours late, and we say: “T ean’t make out why John is so late.” “He'll have broken down,” is suggested next By and by John walks into the hamlet pushing his bicycle before him, or laden with various parts of it. : “We've had an accident,” he explains, as ifan explanation were necessary. Sometimes the post comes to grief as well as tae machine, and we have to sally forth to look for him. Once something still move remarkable happened a bicycle arrived alone. We hurried up the brae, at the foot of which the hamlet lies, and aear the top we found John prone in the middle of a wet road. “Don’t bother about me,” he cried, ‘but help me /ind the velocipede. It's bolted,” I should say that it would be easier to walk forty miles on our roads than vo ride five on that demon machine, but the post by no means agrees with me. “That velocipede’s like a watch,” he says, fondly. “So long as I never had one I didn't miss it, but now I couldn’t do without it.” (To be Continuet) RHEUMATISM CURED Kighteen Months Trying to Get Cured—Had the Best Doctors—He Found what He Wanted tn Dodd’s Kidney Piils, ee Goderich, March 8 (Special)—A case ot Aiexander J.
