were permitting total strangers to
view preparations which have always
hitherto, been reserved for the most
intimate and legalized relations.
The porter was deity Transforming
the day-coach into narrow lane en-
tirely surrounded by draperies. Behind
most OF the portieres, fiuttering in the
lightest breeze, and perilously follow
ing the hasty passer-by, homely Of
fees were being enacted. The popu-
latioR OF this little town was going to
bed. The porter was putting them to
sleep as If they were children in q
nursery, and he a black nanny.
The. frail walls of little sanctums
were bullying with the bodies of peo-
pie disrobing in the aisle, with moth
ing between them and the beholder's
eye but a clinging curtain that ex-
planned what 1t did not reveal. From
apertures here and there disembodied
feet were protruding and mysterious
hands were removing shoes and other
things.
Women In risky attire were scoot-
Ing to one end OF the car, and men In
shirt sleeves, or less, were Fastening
to the other.
When Mallory returned to the
"Snowdrop," his ear was greeted by
the thud of dropping shoes. He found
Marjorie being rapidly immured, like
Poe's prisoner, In a Jail of closing
walls.
She was unspeakably Ill at ease,
and by the irony of custom, the one
person on whom she depended for pro-
lection was the one person whose
contiguity was most alarming-and
all for lack of brief trialogue. with
a clergyman, as the tertium quid.
When Mallory's careworn face APP
peared round the edge of the partition
now erected between her and the
abode of Dr. and Mrs. Temple, Mar
jorie shivered anew, and asked with
all anxiety:
did you find a minister"
Perhaps the Recording Angel over
looked Mallory's answer: mot a
damn minister"
When he dropped at MarJorie's side
she edged away from him, pleading:
oh, what shall we dor

HostilItIes Begin.

FIOStiittieS Begin.
During Mallory's absence, Marjorie
had met with little adventure OF
her own. Ira Lathrop finished his re-
encounter with Anne Cattle shortly
after Mallory set out stalking clergy
men. In the mingled confusion OF
finding his one romantic flame still
glowing on vestal altar, and OF
shocking her with an escape of pro-
family, he backed away from her pres
ence, and sank into his own berth
He realized that he was not alone.
Somebody was alongside. He turned
to find the great tear-spent eyes OF
Marjorie staring at him. He rose
with a recrudescence of his woman
hating wrath, and dashing up the
aisle, found the porter just returning
from the baggage car. He seized the
black factotum and growled:
Say, porter, there's a woman in
my BERTH"
The porter chuckled, incredulous:
Woman in yo' BERTH"
"Yes-get her out"
"Yassah," the porter nodded, and
advanced on Marjorie with gentle,
!" 'Scuse me, missus-yo' berth Is num-
ba one."
II don't care" snapped Marjorie.
Il won't take It,"
But this un belongs to that gentle
man."
'He can have mine-ours-Mr. NAL
lory's," cried Marjorie. pointing to
the white-ribboned tent in the farther
end of the car. Then she gripped the
arms of the seat, as IL defying evic-
ton. The porter stared at her in
helpless chagrin. Then he shuffied
back and murmured: Il reckon you'd
BETA put her out"
Lathrop withered the coward with
one contemptuous look, and strobe
down the aisle with determined
grimness. He took his ticket from
his pocket as a clinching proof OF his
title, and thrust It out at Marjorie.
She gave 1t one Indifferent glance, and
then har eyes and mouth puckered. as

or all the shocking institutions in
human history, the sleeping car is the
most shocking-or would be. II we
were not SO used to 1t. There can be
no doubt that we are the most moral
nation on earth, for we admit 1t our
selves. Perhaps we prove 1t, too, by
the Arcadian prosperity of these two
story hotels on wheels, where mis-
cellaneous travellers dwell in COM
plete promiscuity, and sleep almost
side by side, in apartments, or COM
partments. separated only by a plank
and curtain, and guarded only by

country whose inhabitants earned q

notions, once we are aboard train,

motives OF those who must have q

And, now, on this sleeping car, pref
tily named "Snowdrop." scenes were
enacting that would have thrown our
great-grandmothers into fits--scenes
which, II we found them in France, or
japan, We should view with alarm as
almost unmentionable evidence Of the
moral obliquity Of those nations.
But this was our own countryside

and roared:

an enormous smile:

floated down the aisle and met Mrs.
Little Jimmie Wellington just return
ing from the Women's Room, where
she had sought nepenthe in more than
one of her exquisite little cigars. The
familiar voice, Familiarity bibulous,
smote her ear with amazement. She

was dreaming already with her eyes

A CHURCH ORGAN ERUPTION

The Dcscrct News last night came
sallantly 10 the rescue of Colonel
Roosevelt, repudiatcd all its antago-
nisns against him: and exposed The
Tribunc's malignity against the Colo.
mel. All this is more curious than
cdifying, The Tribune, Of course, is
opposing Colonel Roosevelt, and is do
ing SO openly and abovoboard. The
News. opposing him for the benefit
Of the Federal bunch and in order
10 ''sustam > Apostle Smoot, has some
times under professions Of candor been
meaDer and moro malignant towards
Colonel Roosevelt than any other pa
per. But it has tried to carry water
on both shoulders SO AS to'spilI none
on either side.
Undoubtedly the presentation which
we made yesterday morning calling
upon Colonel Roosevelt to explain the
change Of attitude between himself and
Smoot is what stirred the News up
to its pitch of defending itself and
incidentally defending Colonel Roose-
welt. The Progressive convention In
Ogden yesterday ana the nomination
of President Nephi l.. Morris for
Governor undoubtedly puts the News
in close place, and it is extremely
anxious 10 "save its face In the
political whirligigs that appear likely
to oyerwhclm il in this campaign. The
News is the ycllOwest of yellow jour
nails. the most sneaklng, vindictlve, and
lntoleraut of newspapers. Its hatred
of and malignity towards The Salt
Lake Tribune is a matter Of common
public knowledge, and is something
that we would not change If we could,
for to be hated of the News Is TO be
creditabIc, and to receive it's mahS-
uant aspersions is crown Of honor.
In our article of Yesterday morning
our purpose was to get at the FACTS,
if possible, (Which causes the News 9
rcsen tment) Of the change Of attitude
Of Smoot toward Roosevelt and OF
Roosevelt toward Smoot. That was
the main purpose of it; and in doing
so we necessarily referred to the sneak
ing maligDity OF the Smoot and Fed
eral bunch organ and Of the News
which the latter has attempted to
cover up by occasional effort in the
way Of candor and fairness. But the
general trend of its. course is we'll
known in Utah, and that trend is as
inevitable as the sustaining OF one
authority by another here. For, the
News IS under stress of compulsion to
sustain Smoot in his political acts and
doings, just as. much as it is under
compulsion to sustain him as an apos-
tie, seer, and revelator,

reads. "Thomas +. Ryan, New York
millionaire, popularly supposed TO be
one of the richest men III tie nation,
made his return in the Virginia IN
come tax list, giving his income per
annum as $4,000.
This doubtless means that Mr.. Ryan
makes his return OF income tax for
Virginia on his property and income
in Virginia. So doing, he would no
doubt feel himself entirely justified, on
the basis that Virginia has nothing to
DO with the money he makes in. New
