Irla hoped the tact that ahe'd never been In a parlor car before didn't thow. "Isn't It extravagant," he bad asked Pblnn Incredulously, "for three hours?" "Your Aunt Ella obviously be lieves discomfort a proof of econ omy." Phina answered with that sharp glint which Irla bad learned was a signal of reference to Aunt Ella. "It's not extravagance. A wo man In my position can't afford to be aeen In a day coach." Aunt Phina settled herself regal ly. The porter was kept busy put-(i- - ' - h-i in a paper bag, getting her luggage piled, waiting on her generally, for quite ten mlnutea.

Owen, after all possible reading had been done to bis letter, relaxed Into something very like sleep. But Irla could no more have worked or ilept on this exciting Journey than she could have walked to New York, She was restless. She got up and went Into the ob servation car; It waa full of laugh ing abaorbed smart men and girls, wbo managed to make the place aeem their private possession. They were perched about everywhere, ahoutlng down the rattle of the train, waving glasses to emphasise their conversation, ordering more ginger ale and aoda and aandwlchea from the porter, and, (more espe cially the men.) buratlng Into occa sional cheerful song. f RIS, a little embarrassed, alld ' through to the open air end and atood watching the landscape slide past. It faaclnated her, and abe had forgotten the young people behind ber with their possessive air of be ing a bouae-party, when presently one of them came tilose and put a band on her arm and apoke to ber. -She had noticed him aa she stood hesitating a moment at the door. Indeed, one couldn't help noticing blm. He was a slim small red-beaded boywho had been suppressed by some ol the other men a few min utes before because he had wanted to see If you could sort-shoe on a table when a train wss In motion.

The dinner, or rather the delay caused it, coat the British government more than S, 000,000, The story is tnia: In' January, 1865. the Confederate warship SHENANDOAH put Into Mel bourne for supplies and additional crew members. According to interna tional custom, the ship should have been Interned thero by British au thorities, but local Australians gnve a hearty welcome, supplied It with coal and several new members were signed on the crew. American Con sul William Blanchard appealed first to the governor general, and then to Crown solicitor Ourner. Mr. aurnor seemed agreeable to taking Immediate action, but first he wanted to finish hla dinner. While Mr. Ourner ate, the confederate ahlp allpped out of the harbor to conduct a highly auccessful campaign against northern shipping. After -the war, Oreat Britain paid 16,300,000 for the Shenandoah's dnm agea. Strange aa It seems, Charles Lajotte and Harry Huklng, both crack plloj. .JEW f i&C..
