THE MISTAKE SHE MADE.
Railroad Travellers Who at Last Under
stood Each Other.


She sat By the car window, gazing
OFT upon the unrolling scenery and pos
si5ly dreaming Of homo and things like
that.
About six feet away from her, across
the aisle, was an empty seat, which at
the next station was filed by man
with sample case. He was 80 years of
age or thereabout and was quite as dap
per looking as if he were 80 and still
the knight to please every fair dame
who set her soft eyes urcn him.
The lady was you'll, and pretty, with
perhaps shade too much display III her
makeup, but still one could hardly say
that, for all is not gold that giitters in
such cases-or words to that effect.
When the man had sat down in the
vacant seat and composed himself for
the journey before him, he began to look
about to familiarize himself with his
environments, and in the course of his
visual wanderings his eyes fell upon the
young lady. He gave slight start, as
people do when they think they see
somebody they know, and looked again.
The lady wasn't looking, of course.
But she wasn't asleep
Not in the slightest
After a minute or two or three or
four of hesitating investigation the tray
cling man, for it was he, arose and very
politely and deferentially approached
the young lady.
1t was done as if he had been practic-
ing that sort of thing ever since he had
picked up the first sample case. Either
that or he was to the manner born.
II beg your pardon" he said as she
turned from the window to meet him
with a half startled, fawnlike move
ment not altogether unusual on such
occasions, "aren't you Miss Morton of
Philadelphia"
She gave him a CLASSY stare with a
raw edge on it.
"You don't look like man." she re.
piled with an insolent air, "who would
try to work as old racket as that on
me. Do look so green as that:'
1t was now his turn to gaze at her in
startled wonder.
"Oh, that's all right" she laughed,
moving over to make room beside her,
"and I'll forgive you. You know am
not Miss Morton of Philadelphia or any
where else, and SO do I know it. But
sit down. I'm lonesome, and I'd just as
soon have a pleasant little talk with you
as not. I'm to meet mamma at the sta
tion where we take dinner"
II beg your PARDON" said the travel
ing man, backing away. 81 am sure if
you are not Miss Morton have no de-
sire whatever to talk with you"
Then he went back to his place, and
the flip young woman was rather in
clined to the opinion that there was at
least one man on the road who could be
mistaken honestly.
All of which occurred between Wash
ington and New York within the last
two weeks. Washington Star.

Addition to Yellowstone Park,

Captain Anderson, superintendent of
the Yellowstone National park, says
that an effort is being made to secure
legislation from congress which would
add the Jackson's Hole country to the
park. The area which it was proposed
to take in is about so miles square and
contains Jackson's lake and the Three
luton mountain peaks. It is rich in
natural scenery and would, in the opin-
ion Of the captain, add materially TO
the parks attraotiveneas. Senator Car
ter of Montana has drafted bill for
that purpose, which has the indorse-
ment Of the senators from Montana and
Idaho, but the Wyoming senators have
not yet been won over.-Omaha Fee.

Or, 'There Are Moments When One Wants
to Be Alone"
A middle sized man, with gray
mustache and red tie hitched up on
his collar, walked through the restau-
rant, nodding to acquaintance here and
there. As he stopped at the cashiers
desk man who was seated at a table
noticed him, and, leaning across to his
vis-a-vis, said, Captain S., United
States postal inspector and grand official

"Yes?" with interest from the man
across the table.
"Sure. have always regarded him
with peculiar affection. He came very
near making me rich man once--in
fact, almost made wealthy citizen of
me-so we'll to do that I would never
have had to work again"
"How was that?" with a shade of
incredulity.
''This way: About a year ago the
captain superintendent grand haul Of
green goods men. The firm which he
raided was the largest, perhaps, in the
country and had unlimited capital.
They had packages of good money to

amounting to over 100000, was cap

And the narrator sighed deeply.
"Well," said his friend, 81 don't see
how that was anything like making You
rich man"
"You don't? Well, let me tell you
this: If the captain had turned his back
for just six seconds would have been
a rich man Immediately. But he never
turned, and I had to so away again as
poor as when came"
And with another bitter, heartronding
sigh he watched the inspector stroll out
into the street Chicago News.

Kill.
He Was Clio ely Pressed By Otto
Fsudner, Who Came in Second
A Division of Cash.

The second days shooting OF the State
live bird tournament, under the auspices
of the Olympic Gun Club, came off yester-
day according to the programme, and it
was marked by some remarkable work.
The attendance was fairly large. The
principal event, the second on the list,
was the contest for the Gold Dust trophy,
which was won bv James Rice OF Visala.
1t was twenty.pird race. Rice shot in
good form and killed his twenty straight.
He had a close rival in Otto Feudner, who
also brought Els twenty down in good
shape. The two high guns shot off on
five birds, and again they made another
straight score. Another five birds were
trapped, and once more the man from vi
salia killed all of his clean. Feudner was
so unlucky as to lose the first, but he
killed the remaining four; so the prize
went TO Rice.
The fortunate man will hold the medal
until the next tournament, when he will
return il for future petition, but he
will take all the entrance money in the
next match in which the medal is con-
tested for, which may amount to con-
siderable sum. Feudner, however, drew
the second prize, SIS, and the third, $40,
was divided among Clarence Haighi.
Frank Maskey, G. Nauman and f. Merrill
of Stockton, who killed nineteen birds
each.
Nauman lost his fourth, Hsight his
twelfth Masky his ninth, and Merrill his
eighteenth. In the side pool on that event

who were arrested yesterday afternoon,
charged with smuggling Cinnamon into
the United States. are still in Jail, unable
to secure bail.
Asmussen was called mp in United
States Com missioner Knole's court to-day
to tell what he knew of the affair. He
stated that about three months ago he
entered the employ of Wright to GO with
him on cruise down the Mexican coast
after abalone shells and meat. They put
in at Santa Tomas with the schooner
Nereid, which Wright had leased from
Joseph Sexton of this city. Leaving the
sailor in charge of the vessel Wright went
inland, returning tie next day with eight
Cinnamon whom he transferred to the
schooner.
After taking on cargo OF shells the
Nereid sailed northward, putting in on
May at Mussel Cove, fifty-tive miles
north of this city. There they landed the
Cinnamon and returned TO this port, dis
charged their cargo and sailed southwark
again.
Upon arriving at Santa Tomas Wright
&C ed as though he expected some one,
but there was evidently hitch, for he
told Asmussen to return alone with the
schooner to San Diego. This the latter
did. Upon his arrival he went straight to
Virgilio Bruschi, a well-known Italian
merchant, who, Asmussen claims, knew
all about the MWssel Cove incident, and
asked him if the coast were clear for
Wright TO return to the city. Bruschi
said erything was all right, and Asmus-
sen sailed southwark. He returned yes
terday with Wright, and upon their ar
rival both were arrested by the customs
officers. The schooner, which is valued at
5000 and belongs to Jose II. Sexton, was
seized, and to-day a Chinese merchant,
See Chung, was arrested as an accompiice
OF Wright, and released on $500 bail.
Bruschi denies all completely in the
affair and claims he was simply provision
ing the schooner for legitimate trade. He
has not yet been arrested, but warrants
are out for the cap aims of Two other little
trading schooners which are believed to be
engaged in smuggling. Upon their ar
rival here they will be seized.
