which can be secured to the machine, and raised at will, so as
not to interfere with the wheel when in motion. It is just the thing all
bicyclists have been longing for.

Another busy brain has been at work in anticipation of the summer, and the
glorious time in store, riding along the country roads.

An umbrella support is the result. It consists of an attachment composed
of portions which can be connected or removed at will.

What a boon it will be, on a hot summer's day, to have an umbrella
comfortably held over one's head, while the hands are free to guide the
wheel!

=Author's Preface.=

The stories published in this little volume have been issued
from time to time in the Philadelphia _Times_, and it is at the
request of many readers that they now greet the world in more
enduring form. They have been written as occasion suggested,
during several years; and they commemorate to me many of the
friends I have known and loved in the animal world. "Shep" and
"Dr. Jim," "Abdallah" and "Brownie," "Little Dryad" and
"Peek-a-Boo." I have been fast friends with every one, and have
watched them with such loving interest that I knew all their
ways and could almost read their thoughts. I send them on to
other lovers of dumb animals, hoping that the stories of these
friends of mine will carry pleasure to young and old.
