STORIES in PASSING.

OF all the men on the road who. in the
early nineties, when the times were
good, made the western territory, young
Arthur Graham of Chicago. was the
most popular. He played a fair game Of
billiards. was an even hand at the whist
tables. and moreover having travelled
over nea. ~ all tie globe. was man
much sought after on long run across
the states. His taste in dress was ex-
cellent. In fact, he Was rather proud OF
his persons al appearance, but never in a
way that made him at all offensive. He
was one OF those mortals who had the
faculty, rare enough in man as every.
one knows Of looking perfectly cool and
comfortable either in extreme heat or ex-
treme Id. Never but once did ever
see him in the least ruffied or disturbed
in his appearance, and that once is the
theme OF this story.
1t was one scorcher OF day in July
when we were making little town down
in the hottest part of Kansas. The mer-
curry had gone gliding up the thermome'
Ter tube TO the blood heat mark and
was resting there preparatory to another
climb up the scale. The south wind
came through the car windows like the
blasts that are famed from the open
door Of a furnace. And the desert dust
of the prairie was formed in little gray
ridges over the windows and the cush
ions and all the car.
But in all that heat and dirt Graham
looked as cool as an iceberg, il you can
imagine it. He even wore his coat. His
tan shoes were highly polished, and his
straw hat, high collar aud light blue tie
were epotless, for it seemed as il the
cInders and particles of dust were re.
PEELED.
At LeGrand Junction farmer came
in and took seat opposite Graham. The
old gentleman pulled off his coat and
hung it upon the hat-rack overhead. He
settled his bundles and grips and began
hopping his wrinkled, sun. burnt face
with red bandana.
The old gentIeman's entrance brough,
round the eyes Of little yellow haired
girl in the seat in front. The child
ceased pulling at the stringy hair of hsl
mother and rubbed the sticky lips with
still more sticky fingers. Graham's gift
OF bag Of "all-day suckers" was the
cause of the child's appearance.
As the train left the station at LIE
Grand Junction, the old gentleman
turned to Graham.
"Goin' to Delmar?" he asked
mo" replied the young man, "this
train don't GO there. We are making
for Voca.'
"Voca? Thunder and mud. I'm
goin' to Delmar."
1t was the last car Of short stub
train" and the old gentleman seized his
coat and bundles and made q rush for
the rear door. Graham, always accom-
modatirg, jumped up to help the farmer
and hastily gathering up paper pack
age and valise from the aisle hurried
after him. He reached the platform in
time to see the old gentleman swir z
clear Of the train and plunge headlopg

then began calling after the train and
waving bis arms excitedly in the air.
But in the roar OF the train, Graham
could not understand and went back
smilingly into the car.

bit OF dust from his sleeve. ats a
wonder he didn't break his neck when
he took that jump. Went backwards.
Of course, turned over in the air once
and landed full on his head. Then
tossed the grip after him and that hit
him square in the back. He didn't seem
to like it for he got up and began yell

ing his fists"
The woman with the strirgy hair and
the sticky child leaned across the aisle

Yes. my valise'

why didn't you say SO before?"
Graham now understood the old mans
waving. He jerked the belle and
the train slowed down and the conduc-
tor came in. Graham explained the
situation and asked that the train be
run back.
Cant do that" said the conductor.

freight and the roads blocked. But

So Graham had to go after the valise.
He rolled up his trousers, tucked
handkerchief about his collar and went
back along the track. The sun beat
down until all the earth baked and
turned brown in it's glare. Along the
rails the white heat qu.vered uncertain
ly but unceasing. The wind struck
against his face until it produced that
peculiar effect of being stung by a
hundred red hot needles.
At the end of the half mile. he found
that the farmer had returned 10 tie sta
ton and taken the valise with him. and
Graham had to trudge on for another
half mile. He could feel little .rivulets
running down his back and breast, and
he was feeling mean and sticky and al.
together uncomfortable.
Down at the station he found the
valise-and big heavy one, too. as all
womens valises are-wIth shaw
strapped on ore side and shoe box OF
lunch on the other. After a drink at
the depot, he took off his coat and
placed it over one arm. and with his free
hand seized the valise. and started back
to the train. Every fifty feet he had to
change loads, and every ten feet he lost
his temper and swore at everything in
mind-the farmer, the railroad company
the woman with the stringy hair, and
himself
All the passengers were out to meet
him, as he came around the curve. They
were cross and angry at the wait but
Graham cared not for that. He pushed
lis way into the car and dropped the
valise beside the woman with the stringy
hair. breaking open the lock and strew

within $50 miles of Teslin lake.

THE SEALING AWARDS
MAKE THE RNGLISHMEN JUMP
FOR JOY
But Some Anxiety Is Felt Lest the
United States Refuses to
Pay the Money

NEW YORK, Dec. PA dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: Off,
cials at the Foreign Office do not con-
ceal their qualification over the result
Of the sealing award since the amount
Of the indemnity awards exceeds that
which Congress refused to pay. The
English press has constantly reproached
Americans for not paying their bill Of
damages after the general decision of
the Paris Tribunal had gone against
them. Inevitably the charge of bad
faith will be revived if Congress should
again refuse to sanction the agreement
reached by the sealing commissioners.
Neglect on the part Of Congress to
appropriate the money required for
settling the compensation for the seiz-
ure Of the Canadian sealers will natu-
rally increase the difficulty of adjusting
the Bering sea question and this is al
ready serious enough. The Foreign Of
flce, which Is now exposed to merciless
criticism at home and abroad for it's
position of isolation and helplessness in
dealing with the new and mysterious
Chinese question, would be glad to have
this chief source of contention with
America removed, but 1t cannot act
without the support of Canada, which is
not willing to agree to the suspension of
pelagic sealing and the preservation of
the seal herd unless series of other
contentious and questions are taken
up by the United States and disposed of.
What is to be apprehended is a dip
lomatic controversy with increased bit
terness between the two nations as re-
suit. Nevertheless the fact that two
sealing conferences have been had and
that British and Canadian representa-
tives have been compelled to recognize
the justice of the American contention
for the preservation of the fur seal herd,
can hardly fail to be helpful to Ameri-
cans in the negotiations next year for
the new modus vivendl under the Paris
award. The prompt settlement of the
bill of damages agreed upon by Judges
Putnam and King will promote the
chances of a reasonable adjustment of
the chief question at issue. Otherwise
the present regulations will remain in
force indefinitely under the Paris award,
after experience has shown them to be
Inadequate for the protection of the
seals.
NOTICE TO QUIT
WASHINGTON. Dec. 24.-Assistant
Secretary Powell has instructed the
collector of customs at San Francisco
and Port Townsend, WASH, to notify
ali persons in their respective districts
