Why He Wasn't Unit.
A man on a bicycle was scorching cheerily along the roid on his way to towD, when suddenly there loomed out of the darkness a heavy waggon heading straight for him. j There was no^ time to turn oub. The wheel crashed into the waggoD, and the rider was thrown completely over fche horse 3, falling between them and fche vehicle. A passer-by ran to the rescue, expecting to see a mass of bleeding aud unconscious humanity. Instead, he saw a kickiDg and angry person, who was apparently uninjured. The bicycle was a Chinese puzzle of twisted wire.
"Are you hurt ?" asked fche passer-by. The angry person picked himself up and stopped swearing. He gazed afc what had once been a fair young bicycle.
"Hurt?" he said in a tone of deepest disgust. "Hurt? Me? Of course I am noi; hurt. I've got an accident policy.".
