charming young man of a world
quite different from the simple ur
roundinge of Me. Now Aunt Phina
hae offered trie a luxurious home
in New York, and although Morgan

NEW WORLD
"Wf
,'E'LU be In New for)' sow In
'about three-quartera of an
hour." Owen told bla iliter, smiling
at her brightened eyea, and tben re
tiring again Into what waa obrlois
17 that rerj encouraging letter from
Slgrld.
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. He
flew about with meek adoring "yaa-

After that Phina leaned back with
;an air of being alone In space, drlv
.tog through one French fashion
imagaslne after another and making
quick competent notea In a tiny
morocco book.
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.
He bent so close she could smell
hla liquor-laden breath.

The bandmastera expreaaed the
opinion the conteata had gTown to

The roup decided to petition the

The action wai taken during final

"You look bored," be said politely.
"Coma on, have a drink, have
magazine, bave a good time."
She smiled and shook her bead.
He pushed a little closer and con
tinued, "Come on over and join the
gang I"
In aplte of hla being a little drunk
ba was not out of control, but
bla natural friendly Impudence bad
been Improved on abe waa tempt

having auch a good time, and aa she

at her.
She bad the correct mark, aba
looked to be their own kind, and
tbey were having a lot of fun. Then
shyness and prudence combined de

It's aweet of you to ask me," she
said, for the red-headed boy waa ob
viously a kindly soul, "but I'd rather
stay here."
He became rather more than kind
she hadn't realized bow far gone
ba waa. He flung a rough arm
around ber, pulled her and said,
Ob, nertsl C mon, sister, we're a
keen crowd."
She did not know quite what to
do. She bad to walk through the
group to get back to ber own Pull
man: but before ebe could do more
than detacb herself, help came. An
other of the party, the oldest one of
the group, put a white llmp-seemlni
Irla glanced up, gratefully
band on the red-headed boy'a sboul

ness, and aald, "Hey, dick, old kid,
Georgia wants you I Back to the
mines!"
IRIS glanced up gratefully. He
1 smiled at her, aa If they two un
derstood poor Dicky's little ways.
He might have been aa old aa thirty
live. He waa tall and lanky and very
fair, with a pink flush Ilka a girl's
and a small light mustache that did
not hide a full mouth.
He might have seemed effeminate

Then the one called danrrla

a little gesture of smiling farewell,
made her war back to hmr aaai aha
hoped she'd carried It off modernly
and easily. At leaat Aunt Ella's
funny Old-fashioned Iralnlna an
gooa lor one thing: "Never show

had worked In this brief Interlude.
And then avervthlna waa awant

whisking them all over and begging

And presently the three of them
were walklne down tha niatrnrm

Probably the most costly dinner In
In the world's history waa the one en
Joyed one January day In 1860 by
Crown Solicitor Ourner of Australia.
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.

on an ash heap beside the Patapaco
river after narrowly missing a plunge
in the water but neither one of
them had anything to do with It be
cause each thought the other waa at
the controls. Lajotte, flying In the
Front cock-pit, waa at the controls at
the take-off. when the motor went
dead he called to Huklng in- the roar
cockpit to take over the controls
while he attempted to restart the mo
tor. Huklng did not hear him. The
ship, flying by Itself, circled over the
river, narrowly missing the mast of
a schooner and finally landed. The
ship nosed over In the rough lauding
and broke the propeller, but neither
Jajotte nor Huklng was hurt.
