It was the beginning of the end. They came into :he dining car the minute luncheon was served. They had evidently not long escaped from the he was a good-looking chap. Dis tinctly it must be understood that she was a beauty. Maybe I should write it that she Is beauty. because she happened three 0r four days ago. They were on the morning train bound for Omaha. He lives there: So does she now. Probably she will go on living there. Women are apt to live in the same towns where thelr husbands are. He is an Omaha business man. What is more. he has moEey enough to gratify his whims. His latest whim is his wife-the beauty I have mem tioned.
 The story is written to show that sometimes men dD make mistakes even in the gratlflcation of whims. when there is no earthly reason why they should.
 She ooked a regal sort of a creature at first glance. Maybe 1t was because he had bought s unning travelling gown that she looked so handsome. By some unknown method she had acquired carriage. The way she held her head and shoulders would have made any dress hang well. The hat upon ner head was made by good milliner-anvcne could tell that. The couple were one table ahead of me ana the next farher up.
 He was tall. but she was almost hs tall Her shoulders were wide for woInan's srculders-and her arms so well set Un them that there was no sGuareness at the upper part of her sleeve. She sa' facing me, that I could see the lights play in the depths of her block eyes. As I looked at her the woman Cio not seem out of place or out of harmony with the day or the time. Afterward-well, l have saiC that this is q story of how a man often makes a mistake
 Her hat was on her head precisely. She held her neal 50 that 1t could not easily get out of place Her natty silk travelling dress matched 1t almost ex- actly in color. Both were of q soft blue tint. If her cheeks had not betW as pink es blush roses. with her blacs eyes. the combin at'Un would not have been good. As it was she looked adora- ble.
 Now ftgins the tragedy. He thought Ahe looked adorable too. l could tell

 it by ne way he looked at her. He took dp the menu with a nlce assump- tion of ownership and looked it over critically She sat toying with her gloves. which she ha,y placed on the table ieside her plate. No matter how much man may talk of equality be- tween the sexes, I have yet to see the one who doesn't manifest an air of ownership when he is first married.
 What will you have. dear?" was what he said. When he said 1t he looked at the menu and it wasn't at all what he meant.
 The ownership that he felt should have been expressed in another way. T will order a luncheon that will be just what you want that was what he meant and he would have been glad to order the luncheon and trouble her no further about it. He put the menu on the table in front of her. She did not order. She handed the menu to him.
 Do you see anything you like. dear?" he questioned. He was cour- tesy itself. There was tenderness in his manner too.
 She held her chin a trihe higher. No" she said. there >rsn't much there" I couldn't help being a little surprised at the remark. It seemed to me that the list included about everything that a hungry individual could wish for
 His interest Jagged. I could see that. Also l could see a mild sur. prise in his face. What 1t was l could not make out, only that it was a surprise. He ordered the luncheon In a desultory manner
 "Is Chicago much larger than Oma- ha?" she asked him. There was baby hood in her eyes.
 Not much in one way" he replied. People can be happy there"
 He thought that he had said some thing which should please her. She did not look pleased. For myself. I was pleased just to look at him. He was no dolt, let me tell you that. Nor was he the kind of a man to make mistakes. That is the worst about these things. the people who make the mistakes are always the ones who should not.
 You are a beauty Nell" he said to her. It was as honest as anyone could say. He meant 1t, every word. She was a beauty, too. at that mo- ment. Color, life. form. were there. They are supposed to mean beauty.
 He saw it all and to him it was beauty. That was the mistake

There isn't much more to tell. It was only a luncheon in a dining-car They were only a couple that had just been married. You can see them any day almost In dining-cars at lunch con. After all. mayoe it is a stupid story. As ] said in the beginning. 1 would never have written it only that It shows that she wisest man some times make the biggest mistakes.
 He laid his napkin across his knees. She did the same. So far there was nothing to tell me that he had made a mistake. Then 'he soup came on the stage. I felt sorry for the soup. The man lifted his spoon and being smooth h-shaven drank it from the side of the spoon. He broke his bread tlp and ate it in pieces. By this time 1 was certain that he possessed store of good breeding as well as a tender ness for the beautiful woman
 The soup was the beginning of the tragedy.
 That may sound foolish. As I have before said in this very story. l am not excusing or blaming--I am only telling. The beautiful woman did not not drink her soup from the side of her spoon, but from the very end She drank it somewhat audibIy too My ears will vouch for that
 Some people had come In who did not do the drinking of soup SO They looked at the beautiful woinau. They looked at her twice when she broke a piece of bread in the plate of soup.
 No one can say that l. is d crime to break bread in a plate of soup. 1t ali depends on the time and the occasion, In a dining -car-well. l have said it was the beginning of the end. The man looked at her as she drank her soup from the end of her spoon. The beautiful woman looked at him-as he drank his soup from the end of his spoon.
 Where was the tragedy?
 Just here. He saw that she drank her soup from the end of her spoon, When you read it. please place the accent on the saw"
 This was the difference betu,oo, them, She did not see that he drank his soup from the end of the snoon She was beautiful woma n---he y.,as ana a manly chap. When looked at her her were not reflections of the ontsySs suniights~ but but just lights that are ip drinks his soup from the end of bis spoon. II IS not the soup but the idea that saddens me little. Poor chap!

Political a'''oe-.

From the latest eturns from the
different precincts il Nevada there
is little doubt but what Congr assman
Van Duzer has been elected to return
tc the National Congress-
The situation is conflicting because
of the fact that returns from Goldfield
are very unsatisfa Glory. Other out
side districts are also slow in report
ing and as the general result depends
upon their returns, the outcome will
probably not be defnately known I'M
til the latter part OF the week.
Despite the many conflicting reports
that have been received the Reno
Journal can safely state that Governor
John Sparks stands good chance to
be the next United States Senator.
There are three uncertainties in the
| Assembly contests, namely: INGALLS, il
Esmeralda. Sadler in Eureka and Pitt
in Humboldt County. Each candidate
is picking up in the returns and with
