SUBDUING A BULLY.
How a Russian Lady Brought Rru.
tai Manchu Noble to Her
Feet.

The Siberian railroad traverSes the
greatest wilderness that steam has
ever been set to conquer. The tanning
of our western prairies and mountains
was small task compared to this sub
lection of the Siberian wastes. An ex
perience on train, related by writer,
in Vladivostok paper, reminds one
of the early stage coach days beyond
the Mississippi, and seems even more
violent because the participants in
the adventure were not rough plains
men and mountaineers, but lady and
a nobleman, says the Youths Com
panion.
When the train pulled upat Tsitsikar.
in Manchuria, a Manchu noble, who
had bullied all his fellow passengers,
alighted at the station restaurant, aft
er warning them that he would decapi-
tate any of them who took his seat.
During his absence a smartly dressed
young Russian lady entered the car
and, despite the alarmed expostula.

ated the seat.
When the noble returned he flew

After this she drove home to don
her simplest gown while the man was
putting up the high-swung trap and
the big English horse, and making
ready the pony and the phaeton.
She made long round in the
phaeton, driving herself. 1t began
on the manufacturing side of town,
house visitation in the quarter occu-
pied by the cottages of the iron
works men. She saw few of the men;
but she did better. She saw and
talked with the wives of the men.
What she said to the women, and
what her saying Of it was like to ac-
complish was set forth in brief con-
ference with Edward Raymer at the
iron works-office- conference with
which the morning of conferences
ended.
She found Raymer alone in the
Office, and was glad enough for that.
81 don't know what you will think
of me for meddling in this" she said
when she had told him what she had
been doing.
"You may say very justly that it
wasn't any of my business; but I saw,
or thought I saw, chance for a
woman to do what all you men could
MT seem to do. So did my part, and
now if you'll do yours, believe the
trouble will stop right where it is"
Raymer evaded the business part of
it, and gave praise where praise was
due, taking her hand and letting his
eyes say more than his words.
II think you are the bravest little
woman I ever heard Of" he said,
warmly. 81 haven't the least doubt
in the world as to the success of
your appeal, and no one but wom-
an-no one but yourself-could have
made it. You may be sure that Girls
void and I will do our part"
eff you will, I think we may con-
slider the strike settled" She rose
and made as if she would go, but that
was only because her courage threat
ened to fail her while yet the major
half of her errand was undone. She
fought brave little fight, and then
went back to sit down beside him.
There is something else" she be-
gan, nervously, ''and I don't know
just how to say it. May say any
thing l please?"
Certainly. The privilege would be
yours in any case, but you have just
earned it thousand times over"

with the bank, haven't you?"

and put in enough capital to pay us

She was twisting her handkerchief
around her fingers, and otherwise
displaying a degree of embarrass-
ment which was quite foreign to her,
or to iaymer's knowledge of her.
Would you mind telling me how
much it wasp
'sNot at all; it was $95.OoO''
$50 much as that? Somehow, I
have never thought of Mr.. Griswold
as IA capitalist. But it was a good

"It would have been if we had not
had this strike
She paused again, and again as
saulted as one who will not be daunt-
ed
"How much has the strike cost you,
Mr.. Raymer?"
"a great deal more than it would
at almost any other time. We had a
number of time contracts with for
FIXTURES, and they have lapsed, Of

lars wouldn't more than make us

$50 much as that! All of Mr.. Girls
wold's money, and more" So much
she said, and then she was silent I'M
til her nervousness began to be con-
tagious to Raymer. At length she
said: "You know Mr.. Griswold pref
ty well, and love him; and [ know
him pretty well, too, and-and like
him. Did he ever tell you how he
came to have so much money!"
why, no. In fact, I never thought
enough about it to be curious. From
the little he has told me about him
SELF have gathered that he inherit
ed something from his father, and
that accounted sufficiently for his
MEANS"
Now Griswo1d had been more con-
fidential with Margery than he had
ever been with his business partner,
so she knew the story of the slender
patrimony, and of it's spending. But
what has here been written down of
Margery Grierson has been ill-written
if it has not shown her to be far
more discreet than her sex or her
! age would hespeak. And because she
was wiser than her generation. she
went swiftly aside from Grixwold's
