 ''Oh, must see the Chinese camps, Miss Hamilton cried. I've heard of them"
 They were Tn time to see the cooks serving from great cauldrons to each man his little keeler full of boiling water. There was also an array of big black pots simmering over camp fires, yet white and savory messes were within, announced by attractive odors.
 What do they do with those little tubs?' Miss Hamilton asked, as she saw the coolies disappear within tents or brush shacks.
 Each man takes hot sponge bath and dresses in clean clothes before he eats"
 'Is today any special occasion?'' she questioned, wonderingly.
 They do that every night in the year They never sup in their work ing clothes"
 What an example to Americans! {! My respect for the disciples of Con- fucius has risen to hundred"
 She wished to stay to see the vel low men in dinner dress" squatting with their little bowls and chopsticks, chattering over their ''licey;" but her uncle sent back a second hurrying summons that held a note of impa- tience; and Stella pushed ahead with sure steps, following her temporary es- cort. But Miss Hamilton, unused to rough going, and in spite of Alfred's watchfulness, turned her ankle and arrived at the road pale and weak with pain, leaning heavily on his arm. Yet her gay bravery deceived her uncle, though she clasped Stella's ex- tended hand sharply as the two men lifted her into the coach.
 It was quite dark when they drove up into the hotel brilliance. Stella alighted after the others; yet she heard Miss Hamilton's graceful thanks to Alfred, saw the lingering hand shake, the appeal in her eye, while she ISdieu upOu uSI uuClc dTIu.
 Sally B. came out to meet them ; and the lantern swinging in the even- ing breeze threw fantastic, dancing shadows on the group. Suddenly Stel- la felt out of it all, remote; for Alfred, lifting his hat impressively, backed away from the open door and did not see her standing in the shadow, alone.

Stella Anthony, daugh- ter of Anthony. keeper of station, is in troduced. Anthony has been killed Vincent is assigned his work in unearth- ing plans of enemies of railroad being built. Vincent visits town where railroad men are working on the road and receives token of esteem from Stella. The old stage driver decides to work close to town in order that he may be able to keep fatherly watch over the young woman: She is engaged as tutor Tor Viola Bernard, daughter of hotel land lady Vincent visits society circles of en, emies of the Central Pacific railroad and learns their secrets. He returns to Stella, each showing signs of love for the other. Phineas Cadwallader, pushing a railroad opposing Central Pacific, reaches mining town. She writes to Alfred Vincent his boast. Plying his attentions Cadwallader insults her and she is rescued by Gideon, her fathers servant. In turn he proposes marriage, is rejected, leaves her declaring he will return the sort of man she will love. Vincent shows up San Francisco and Washoe road and is praised by gov ernor and heads of Central Pacific. Be Ing known as agent of C. P. he decides to retire to position of a brakeman for a short time. Stella hears from her lover, Gideon, and of his phenomenal success. Finds letter of importance involving plans of opposition road Uncle Billy returns in terrible suffering from long mountain trip. Plot to destroy company's ship Flora is unearthed and discriminating evi- dence against Cadwallader on charge of wire tapping is also found the letters found by Stella being decphered by Brakeman Alfred Vincent, who arrives on scene.

splendiferous! she exclaimed as they came under the lamp.
 Don't she, mar" echoed Viola, heartily.
 Say, honey, them tiger lilies suits you: an I'd never "a thought 1t. They got colors in 'em like yo' hair an eyes, shores yore born. Then they're kinder secret an powerful lookin', like they could do things to all the other flowers"
 What an odd ideal" Stella said won- deringly.
 'Is it? We'll nobody won't git their secrets a-studyin' of their looks; no more will they your'n, Stella. Your face gifts secreter an eleganter every day" Sally B. never paused for a word. It might not be the right one, but her meaning carried, as the message of the master in spite of poor instrument and blundering fingers The band was playing as they en- tered
 Stella's quick eye noted with sudden aversion the three reserved chairs, and the absence of Alfred and Miss Hamilton. Let me sit on this side with you and Viola, won't you, Miss Sany?" she asked softly.
 But there's no seat on this side, chicken" Sally B.'s whisper was far audible.
 A gentleman rose at once and of- fered his arm which Stella accepted to save further confusion. She was rosy with embarrassment. though no other hint of it showed in her stately walk around the long table. And Sally B. watched delightedly the fol- lowing of admiring eyes.
 Stella was hardly seated when Miss Hamilton entered, leaning on Alfred S arm in the dependent style of the time.
 Miss Hamilton had timed her con- ing to that awkward instant common to banquets. when all await some in- comprehensible delay, and when any

diversion is welcome. The two walked slowly down the long room, Miss Ham, ilton's step and movements so per fectly artful that they seemed artless young women were so trained then.
 A hum of admiration went round. Stella had not before seen Alfred in evening dress. The night he wore Romeo's velvet and laces he was more splendid; but this conventional dress, finely displaying his slim figure, belonged to a world she knew not. She noticed proudly that he wore his clothes with an accustomed ease, saw also that he was the only man in the room who could fitly escort the dainty woman who fioated by his side, a sum- mer cloud in her ilmy white draper ies.
 Miss Hamilton seated herself de- | murely and exchanged salutations with the gentleman at her right Alfred seized that moment for word with Stella.
 Why didn't you wait for us? I haven't your permission to mention our engagement, but I wish Miss Anna bel to suspect it. Yet you make it i'm possible. Stella
 She thought of herself entering be- side that perfect pair and was deeply grateful to the chance that prevented it. She noticed Alfred's use of Miss Hamilton's given name, and the omis- sion of his usual endearment to her. sen. and because she was hurt she dared not be serious. Do let her think the coast clear: it will be such fine test of your constancy," she said with a fiippancy astonishing to him.
 He was too thoroughly masculine to fathom the art woman uses to hide her wound. Neither could he reply. for Miss Hamilton turned to him with some laughing remark.
 The insistent band, undaunted by two partitions. blared the popular airs of the day; sentiment, frolic, pathos: When This Cruel War Is Over," Ever of Thee" "The Maidens Prayer" Champagne Charley" Last Ditch Polka" the last two accompanied by soft tapping all along under the table.
 Sally B. sat opposite Stella, her eyes seemingly on all the walters at once. yet she found time for the guests and their conversation.
 A slight commotion at the door ar rested the attention of the guests. There came . gust of subdued yet

Why don't you buy abroad?"

Why don't you buy abroad?"
 Our franchise forbids that: and American foundries cant make it fast enough. What we do buy is so long getting here! Twenty thousand miles That's sail for you. And the gales, aud wrecks! By George! l wish it was quicker and safer"
 As they neared the camps their conversation changed from railroad to other subjects-the latest book; the newest dance; the poem or picture most in the public eye. From topic to topic they fitted, up and down the polite world of their day.
 To Stella, striving to lose no word 1t was new, intoxicating That's my world, too" she thought. "f could say things like those. l know a little of mythology and history" She won dered why she had rever used such language with Alfred. why he had not talked with her as he did now with Miss Hamilton.
 Stella lifted her head in a spirit of rebellion quite 0ew to her. She could never acquire this subtle manner: and she should not stand in Alfred's way. He would succeed. From serving he would soon advance to ordering. He would need wife like Miss Hamilton.
 MT. Crocker called Alfred for some questioning, and in his absence Miss Hamilton turned to Stella. I'm afraid I'm monopolizing this oppor- tunity. Miss Anthony. It's my first visit, you know"
 Tt Is my first visit here, also" Stel- Ia replied.
 Your first?" Miss Hamilton's eyes opened wide with not too civil ques- tion. "Oh," she laughed, If you live here and don't care enough to come and see these wonderful things I shan't let my conscience sit up nights over my monopoly of MT. Vincent and the conversation" She turned to smile at Alfred reappearing, and Stel- Ia was without opportunity to explain that, despite enthusiasm and apprecia- tion, the railroad grade was not a proper promenade for a girl alone.

AGREED WITH LATE EMPLOYER
For Time, at Least, Boy Would No,
 Smoke Twist"

MT. J. M. Barrie. the popular nov. elist and playwright, has glorified to- bacco more than once. but on a cer- tain occasion he tried to induce . smoker to desist. It happened thus:
 Mir. Barrie returned to his rooms one day and discovered his page boy puffing hard at dirty clay pipe.
 My boy" said the novelist. it is very bad for you to smoke that coarse black twist You will make yourself old before your time"
 And so he went on till he had deliv- cred a long and what he believed to be telling lecture. A day or two later the youth left without giving mo- tice, and shortly afterward Mir. Bar rie brought some friends to his fiat. Promising them special treat, he went to cabinet where he kept a store of very choice cigars. You can imagine his chagrin when he discov. cred that the cigars had vanished, and in their place was the page boys clay pipe and the following note:
 Dear Sir: I agree with you that it is bad for a boy to smoke twist. will not smoke any moro twist tin have finished your oigars."
