LOURY board- I B Denver with all the ulr of a A martyr, lie hud traveled pretty much nil over the world, nnd In wus not without resources, but the prospect of a 2.5(10 mile Journey alum Ulled hlui with dismay. The country he knew; tho wenery had long since lost Its attractions for him. And ao II not that be gloomily motioned the porter to hl boxes und mounted the Hteps with weariness. As It hunpoueu, Mr. Orenfall Iorry did Dot have a dull moment after tin train startT'd. Ho stumbled on a figure that leuned toward the window in the dark passageway. With reluctant civil ity he apologized. A lady stood up to let him pass, and for an Instant In tho half light their eyes met, and that Is why - tho mlka rushed by with Incredible apced. Mr. Lorry had been dawdling away tho mouths In Mexico nnd California. For years bo had felt, together with many other people, that a sea voyage was the essential beginning of every Journey. Ho had started round the world soon after leaving Cambridge; be had flhed through Norway and bunted In India, and shot everything from grouse ou tho Scottish moors to the rapids above Assouan. Ho had run In and out of countless towns aud countries on the coust of Kouth Amer ica. He had done ltussla and the IChoue vulley and Ilrlttuny and Damas cus. Ho bad seen them all, but not until then did Itoccur to him that there might be something of interest nearer houie. Trueftie bad thought of Joining some Englishmen on a hunting tour In the Rockies, but that had fallen through. When the Idea of Mexico did occur to him, bo gave orders to pack bis things, purchased Intermina ble green tickets, dined unusually well at his club and was off In no time to tho unknown west. There was a theory In bis family that it would have been a decenter thing for him to stop running about and settle down to work. Uut his thoughtful father had given hi in a wealthy mother, and ns earning a liv ing was not a necessity bo failed to see why It was a duty. "Work Is be coming to some men," bo once declared, "like whiskers or red ties, but It does not follow that nil meu can stand It." After that the family found hlui "hope less," and tho argument dropped. Ho was Just under thirty years, as good looklug as most men, with no one dependent upon hlui nnd an Income that bad withstood both the Mutant Doree and a dahabeah on the Nile. Ho never tired of seeing things and peoples and places. "There's game to be found anywhere," he said, "only It's sometimes out of season. If I had my way uud millions I should run a newspaper. Then ull tho cxcltemenls would comb to me. As It Is, I'm poor, and ao I have to go all over the world after them." This agreeablo theory of lift! had worked well. Ho was a littlo bored at times, not becutme ho hod Been too much, but because there were not more things left to see. Ho had managed somehow to keep bis enthusiasms through everything, and they made II fo worth living. Ho felt, too, a cer tain elation, like a spirited horse, at turning toward borne, hut Washington bad not much to offer hlui, nnd tho thrill did uot last. His big bag uud his butbox, pasted over with foolish IiiIh'Is from continental hotels, were piled In the corner of his compartment, and he settled back In his seat with a pleasurable sense of expectancy. Tho presence In thu next room of a very smart appearing young woman was prominent In bis consciousness. It guve hlui au uneasiness which was the be ginning of delight, lie hail seen her for only a second In tho passageway, but thut second had made hlui hold himself a little stralghter. "Why Is It," bo wouilered, "that some girls make you stand like a footman the mo ment you see theiuV" (ireufall had been In lovo too many times to think of marriage. His habit of 111 i ml was hi 1 II general, and ho classlllcd women broad ly. At the buuiu time he hud a feeling that In this case generalities did out apply well. There was something about the girl thut mailo lilm hesitate at la beling her "Class A or 11 or Z." What It was bo did not know, but unaccount ably sho Ulled hlui with tin affected formality. He felt like bowing to her with a grand air and much dignity. And yet ho realized that his successes bad come from coiitldcnce. At luncheon be saw her In the din ing car. Her eoiiiaiilous were elderly ierous, presumably her parents. They talked mostly In Trench, occasionally Using a Herman word or phrase. Tho old gentleman was stately and austere, with an air of deference to the young iwoman which tirenfall did uot under stand. His uppcuruueo was very strik ing, his face pale and heavily lined, mustache aud Imperial gray, tlio eye brows large nnd bushy nnd the Jaw aud chili square and linn.

Twlco during luncheon the young woman glanced toward hlui carelessly and left an uunoylng Impres sion that she had not seen hlui. As they left the table und passed into the observation car be stared ut her with gome defiance. Hut she wtis smiling, and her dimples showed, and (ireufall was ashamed. Tor Rome moments he eat gazing from the car window, for getting his luncheon, dreaming. When bo got back to bis comport ment, lie rang vigorously for the por ter. A coin was carelessly displayed in bis fingers. "Ho you suppose you could llnd out who has the next com partment, porter'" "I don't know their name, sub, but they's golu' to New York Jls us fas' us tliev en 11 L'lt thtlll.

You tan have a higher time on that." Tbe odd little coin changed owners Immediately, und the new possessor dropped It Into his xxket with the In ward conviction that be was the sil liest fool in existence. After the por ter's departure ho took the coin from his pocket, and, with his back to the door, his face to the window, studied Its lettering. At one little sLation a group of In dian bear hunters created considerable Interest among the passengers, (iron fall wus down at the station platform at once, looking over a great stuck of game. As he left the cur he met I'nclc Caspar, who Was hurrying toward his niece's section. A few moments later she came down the steps, followed by the dlgullled old gentleman. Crenfall tingled with a strange delight u she moved quite close to bis side In her desire to see. Unco be glanced at her face. There was a pretty look of fear In her eyes ns she surveyed the mis sive bears und the stark, si ill ante lopes. Hut she laughed us sho turned away with her uncle. (ironfall was smoking his cigarette und vigorously Jingling the coins In bis pocket when the train pulled out. Then he swung on the car steps uud found himself at her feet. She was standing ut tho top, when; she had lingered u moment. There wus an expression of anxiety In her eyes ns be looked up Into them, followed Instantly by one of relief. Then she passed Into the car. Doubtless she would have been as see llcltous hud he boon the porter or the lirakeiiinu, he reasoned, but that she bad noticed blm at all pleased hlui. j At Abilene be bought the Kansas City newspapers. After breakfast ho found a seat III the observation car aud settled himself to read. Presently some one took a sent behind him. Ho did not look back, but unconcernedly ' cast his eyes upon tho broud mirror In the opposite car wall. Instantly he forgot Ills paper. She was sitting with- j ill five feet of hlui, a hook In her lap, her gaze bent hrlelly on the Hitting buildings outside. He studied the re-; flection furtively until she took up the book uud began to read. The first page of his paper was fairly . nllve with fresh nnd important dis patches, chiefly foreign. At length, aft- j er allowing himself to become really Interested In a Paris dispatch of some i international conseipieiice, he tiirucii,' bis eyes again to the mirror. She was j leaning slightly forward, holding tin? j open Isiok In her lap, hut reading, with straining eyes, an article In the pusr I be held. He calmly turnisl to the next page und looked leisurely over It. Another glance, quickly taken, showed to blm a disappointed frown ou the pretty face and a reluctant resumption of novel rending. A few moments Inter he turned hack to the Ikst puge, holding tho paper In such n position thut she could not see ami, full of curiosity, read every line of the foreign news, wondering what had Interested her. Under ordinary circumstances Lorry would huo offered bcr the puper and thought not 1 1 1 Iii4 more of It. With her, however, there was an air thut luailu him hesitate. He felt strangely awk ward and Inexperienced beside her. Precedents did not seem to count. He arose, tossed the paper over the buck of the chnlr, as If casting It aside for ever, and strolled to the opposite win dow and looked out for a few moments, Jingling his coins carelessly. The Jin gle of the piece suggested something else to lit in. Ills paper still hung In vitingly up-thlc down, us ho had left it, on the chair, ami the I nly wus poring over her novel. As he passed her be drew his right hand from his puckct, and n piece of money dropped to the llisir at her feet. Then L. mm an em barrassed search fur the coin In the wrong direction, of course. He knew precisely where It hail rolled, hut pur posely looked under the seats on the other side- of the car. She drew her skirts aside and assisted in the search. Tour different times he saw the little piece of money, but did not pick It lip. Finally, laughing awkwardly, he began to search on her side of (he cur, where upon she rose und guve hlui more room. She became lulereslisl In the search mid bent over to hciiii the dark corners with eager eyes. Their bends were very close together more than once. At Inst she uncivil au exclamation, and her hand went to the floor In triumph. 'I'hcy arose together. Hushed and smil ing. She bud the coin In her hand. "1 have It!" she said guyly, II dell clous foreign tinge to the words. "I thank you" he began, holding out his hand as If In a drcuui of ecsta sy, hut her eyes hud fallen momentari ly on the object of their search. "till!" she exclaimed, the prettiest surprise In the world coming into her face. It was u coin from her faraway homeland, and she was betrayed into the luvoluulnry exclamation. Instant ly, however, she tcguincd her compo sure and dropped the piece Into his outstretched hand, a proud Hush mount lug to her cheek, a look of cold reserve to her eyes. He had hoped she would offer some comment on what she must have consldensl a strange coincidence, but he was disappointed, lie wondered If she even heard him say: "I Ulll sorry to have troubled you." She hud resumed her scut, and to him there seemed a thousand miles be tween them. Tooling decidedly uncom fortable and not a little abashed, be left her and strode to the door Again n mirror gave him a thrill. This time It was the glass in the car's end. lie bad taken but a half ilocu steps when the brown head wus turned slyly and a pair of Interested cms looked after hlui. She did uot know that be could sec her. so he hud the satisfaction of observing that pretty, puzzled face plainly until be passed through the doer. Crcnfutl had formed many chance aeituaiutamvs during his travels, some times taking risks and liberties that Were refreshingly hold. He had sel CGOTZIAN & CO MANUTACTOBtRJ. ST. PAL) L. W mm $35V"'j! dom Leon repulsed, strange, to Ray, and as be went to Ills section dizzily he thought of tbe good fortune that bad been bis In other attempts and asked himself why It hud not occurred to blru to make the same advances In the pres ent Instance. Koviehow she was dif ferent. There wus that strange digni ty, that pure beauty, that imperial manner, ull combining to forbid tbe faintest thought of familiarity. ! He took out the coin and leaned back in his chair, wondering where It came from. "In any case," he thought, "II 'II make a good pockctpleee, and some day I'll llnd some Idiot who know more about geography thun I do." Mr. Irony's own Ideas of geography were Jumbled and vague, us if ho had gut them by studying the labels ou bli hatbox. He knew the places he had been to, and he recognized a new coun try by the annoyances of the customs bouse, hut beyond this bis Ignorance was complete. The coin, so fur us be knew, might have come from any one of a hundred small principalities scat tered about the continent. Ih foro tho train reached Ht. Louis bo in: le up his mind to change cars there aud go to Washington. It ulso occurred to blur that he might go on to New York If the spell lasted. Dur ing the day he telegraphed ahead for ncciiiuiufiduthxis, and when the tiler ar rived in St. Louis that evening he hur riedly attended to the transferring nnd reeliei klt.g of his baggage, bought n new ticket and dined. At 8 he wus ill the station, und ut 8:15 he passed her III the aisle. She was standing in her stateroom door, directing her maid. He saw a look of surprise flit across her face as be passed. He slept sound ly that night and dreamed that be was crossing the ocean with bcr. At breakfast bo saw her, but If she saw him It was when be was not look ing ut her. Once be caught Undo Cas par staring nt him through his mono cle, which dropped Instantly from bis eye In the manner that Is always self explanatory. Ills spirits took a furi ous hound with the realization that she had deigned to honor him by recogni tion. If only to call attention to biin because he poHscssisl a certain coin. (Mice tlie old gentleman asked hlui the time of day and set bis watch ac cording to the reply. In Uhlo the man servant scowled ut blm Is'cuuse he In voluntarily stared after his mistress as she paced the platform while the train' waited at a station. Again, In Uhlo, they met In the vestibule, and he wus compelled to step aside to allow her to ' pass. He did uot fed particularly Jil- bllunt over this meeting. She did not : even c hi nee at hlui. Lorrv realized that his opportunities wcre fast disappearing and that he did not sis'iu to be uiiy nearer meeting her Ulan when they started. He had hoped to get Tiicle Caspar Into n conversa tion and then use blm, but Uncle Cas par was as distant as au Iceberg. "If there should be a wreck," Crenfull taught himself thinking, "then my chance would come, but I don't see bow Providence Is going to help me In any other way." Near the dose of the day, after they left Cincinnati, the train began to wind through the foothills of the Alio- glianies. Itcllalro, Crnfton and other j towns were left behind, and they were i soon whirling up the steep mountain, higher and higher, through tunnel aft er tunnel, nearer and nearer to Wash ington every minute. As they were pulling out of n Utile mining town ! built on the mountain side a sudden Jur stopped the train. There was some little excitement and a scramble for Information. Same part of the engine was disabled, nnd it would be neees sury to replace It before the "run" could prociM'd. Lorry strolled up the crowd of pas sengers who were watching the engi neer and Hroiiuin at work. A clear luti-dcal voice, aim ist In his ear, star tled him, for he knew to whom It be loi! " I. She addressed the conductor, who. 'inpatient and annoyed, stood lm lueili itely behind hlui. "How long niv wo to be delayed?" she linked. Just two minutes before this same conductor bad responded most ungraciously to a simple question Lorry had asked nnd bad gone so far as to instruct another Inquisitive trav eler to go to a w anner climate because he persisted In asking for information w hich could not be given except by a clairvoyant. Hut now he auswerisl In most utl'uhlc tones: "We'll be here for thirty minutes at leas', miss-perhaps longer." She walked away after thanking him. and Crenfull lisikod nt his watch. (HT the main street of the town ran little lanes lending to the mines be low. They nil ended at the edge of a stoop declivity. There was n drop of utmost Its) feet straight Into the valley below. Along the sides of this valley were the eutriinces to the mines. Aliovc. on the ledge, was the machinery for lifting the ore to the high ground ou which stood the town and railroad yards. 1 low n one of these streets w alked the young ludy, curiously Interested In nil iibout her. She seemed glad to escape from tho train and Its people, and she hurried along, the fresh spring wind blow ing her hair from beneath her cap. the cuds of her long coat fluttering. Lorry stood ou the platform watch lug her: then be lighted a cigarette uud followed. He hud a vague feeling that she ought not to be alone with all the workmen. She started to come back before he reached her. however, nnd he turned imalti toward the station. Then be heard a sudden whistle, and a min ute later from the end of the street he saw the train pulling out. Lorry hud rulhor distinguished himself In college us n runner, and Instinctively he dash ed up the street, reaching the tracks Just In time to catch the railing of the last coach. I'ott there he stopp.-d uud itood witli thumping heart while tha coa. hi's !'d smoothly up tbe track, leaving blm behind, lie remembered ac was uot the only one left, and he EXPSf!IENCl : v' P Ocsiots .

It occurred to htm when It was too bite that be might have got on tbe train and pulled the rope or called the conductor, but that was out of the question now. After (II, It might not be such a merry game to stay in that lllthy little town. It did not follow that she would prove friend ly. A few moments latT she appeared, wholly unconscious of what bad hap pened. A glance down the track, and her face was the picture of despair. Then she saw blm coming toward her with long strides, iliishisl and ex cited. Regardless of appearances, con ditions or consequences, she hurried to meet him. "Where. Is the train?" she gasped ns the distance between them grew short, her blue eyes seeking bis beseechingly, her hands clasped. "It has gone." "Cone? And we we are left?" He nodded, delighted by the word "we." "The conductor said thirty minutes. It has been but twenty!" she cried half tearfully, half angrily, looking nt her watch. "Uh. what shall I do?" she went on distractedly. He bad enjoyed She mw him romlny toward her villx lumj ttrldcs. the sweet, despairing tones, but this last wall called for lunuly und Instant action.
