two, in the corner, where Little jim
ME Wellington's nose still played a
bagpipe monody, and one other berth,
which he recognized as Marjorie's.
His belated sleep and hers had
spared them both the stares and
laughing chatter of the passengers.
But this bridal couples two berths,
standing like towers among the seats,
had provided conversation for every
body, had already united the casual
group of strangers into an organized
gossip-bee.
Mallory got into his shoes and as
much of his clothes as was necessary
for the dash to the Mushroom, and
took on his arm the rest OF his ward
robe. Just as he issued from his
lonely chamber, Marjorie appeared
from hers, much disheveled and
heavy-eyed. The bride and groom ex-
changed glances of mutual terror, and
hurried in opposite directions.
The spickest and spannest Of lieu
tenants soon realized that he was re-

intolerable. A brave man can endure
heartbreaks, loss of love, honor and
place, but a neat man cannot abide
the traces of time in his toilet. Lieu
tenant Mallory had seen rough serv-
ice in camp and on long hikes, when
he gloried in mud and disorder, and
he was to see campaigns in the Phil
ippines, when he should not take on
his shoes or his uniform for three
days at a time. But that was the
field, and this car was a drawing
room.
In this crisis in his affairs, Little
Jimmie Wellington waddled into the
mems room, foundering about with
every lurch of the train, like cannon
loose in the hold of ship. He FUN
bled with the handles on basin, and
made a crazy toilet trying to find

creak of timbers, and the frog-like
chorus of a few well-trained snorers.
AS the porter was turning down the
last Of the lights, rumpled pate was
thrust from the stateroom, and the
luscious-eyed man whispered:
Porter, what time did you say We
crossed the Iowa state line?"
Two fifty-fve a. m"
From within the stateroom came q
deep sigh, then with a dismal groan:
Call me at two tifty-tive a. H." the
door was closed.
Poor Mallory, pyjamaless and night
shirtless, lay prCpped up on his pill
lows, staring out of the window at the
swiftly shifting night scene. The state
of Illinois was being pulled out from
under the train like dark rug.
Farmhouses cleaned or dreamed
lampless. The moonlight rippled on
endless seas of wheat and Indian
corn. Little towns slid up and away.
Large towns rolled forward, and were
left behind. Ponds, marshes, brooks,
pastures, thickets and great gloomy
groves flowed past as on a river. But
the same stars and the moon seemed
to accompany the train. If the flying
witness had been less heavy of heart,
he would have found the Keeling scene
full of grace and night beauty. But
he could not see any charm in all the
world, except his tantaliZing other
self, from whom a great chasm
seemed to divide him, though she was
only two windows away.
He had not yet fallen asleep, and
he was still bordering how to attain
his unmarried, unmarriable bride,
when the train rolled out in air above
a great wide river, very noble under
the stars. He knew Il for the Mis-
sissippi He heard a faint knocking
on door at the other end Of the car.
He heard sounds as of kisses, and
then somebody tiptOed along the aisle
stealthily. He did not know that an
other bridegroom was being separated
from his bride because they were too
much married.
Somewhere in Iowa he fell asleep.

CHAPTER XVII.
Last Call for Breakfast.

1t was still Iowa when Mallory
awoke. Into his last moments of heavy
sleep intruded a voice like town
criers voice, crying:
Lass call for breakfuss in the Rim
ing Rar," and then, again louder,
Lass call for breakfuss in Rinin-
rar," and, finally and family, Lass
call breakfuss ri'rar."
Mallory pushed up his window
shade. The day was broad on rolling
prairies like pillows established in the
green soil. He peeked through his
curtains. Most of the other passen-
gers were up and about, their beds
hidden and beddings slowed away be-
hind the bellying veneer of the upper
works of the car. All the berths were

IRvING,S STAGE EFFECTS.
SilSneS. Light and just One Other Es-
santial Produced Them.

Wendell Phillips Dodge relates in the
London Strand Magazine an incident
growing out Of the first meeting Of
Robert Aantell with Sir Henry Irving
back in 1882. when both were playing
Romeo n London. There were re-
viewers who found Irving too old for
the youthful Romeo, and one advised
that he should make way for 'the
young fellow over at the Olympic"
Irving prepared a special afternoon
performance in the Lyceum. to which
all the players in London were invited.
After it was over Mantell went back
Of the stage. and Irving asked him how
be liked the performance. 1t has been

do you do it? How do you manage ef-

does not mind the people"
Sure enough. on reaching the bank
the first thing saw was a huge croco-
dile basking at full length and with
his mouth wide open on a rock not
more than twenty yards away. He
was not in the least disturbed by the
chatterlng of the women and children.
and there was no question Of stalking
him. 1t was only necessary to SIT
leisurely down on the bank and put
bullet through his shoulder, when.
after shutting and opening his mouth

RUssIHs RED STAIRCASE.
lee Steps the Scene Of Many FatOfsl
and Historic Incidents.

aHa tNANtANnhAe
The red staircase is very ancient and
very memorable in the history Of Rus
sia From the Church of the Assump-
ton, where all the czars are crowned.
1t led to the old palace Of the Kremlin,
as now 1t leads to the new. This mar
bic structure was built on the site of
the former church by the Emperor
Nicholas but he left the historic stair.
case undisturbed.
1t was on the red staircase that Ivan
". known as the Terrible" stood
when he received the celebrated letter
from Kurbski. his traitor general. who
from a safe place Of refuge sent a mes
sage Of defiance by his servant. This
naughty cZar is said to have nailed
the foot OF the messenger to the red
staircase with his famous iron stan
while the letter was being read to him.
This same iron staff In the hands Of
the angry czaF afterward killed his
son and heir. Great and fierce was
the sorrow OF Ivan over this horrible
tragedy. and as he stood on the red
staircase one night mourning for his
son he saw the comet which. he be-
lleved. foretold his own death.
Another historic scene on the red
staircase began with the ringing Of the
400 bells OF Moscow. relates the. New
York Herald Regiments of soldiers,
numbering thousands. followed by a
great crowd of people dragging cannon,
were marching to the Kremlin. They
had been reused into fury by a false
report that brother OF Natalia. widow
Of the Gear Alexis. had seized the crown
and that ivan. the heir OF the Russian
throne, had been murdered
Reaching the palace, they clamOred
for vengeance. Suddenly the tumult
was quelled as Natalia appeared on the
platform Of the red staircase with her
two children beside her-Ivan, her fee |
BILE, imbecile stepsOn, and Peter. her
own bright. handsome boy.
Natalia trembled as she faced the
angry crowd. who had placed ladders
against the rails and climbed up to the
platform. but the young prince. Peter,
afterward Peter the Great, stood and
looked at them without showing q sign
Of fear.
On July i. 1882. the same young boys,
Ivan and Peter. appeared on the red
staircase surrounded by bOyars and
mobiles. but under very different cir
cumstances. Peter looked on the
crowd with the same calm gaze as
when he stood holding the trembling
hand Of his mother before q mob In
sane with rage The people new greet
ed him with joy and the great process
sion that preceded and followed the
two brothers passed slowly down the
red staircase on its way 10 the Cathe-
dral of the Assumption. wNre. amid
the pomp. magnificence and ceremonial
Of the Russian church, Ivan and Peter
were crowned czars by the patriarch.
The steps Of the red staircase have
been ascended by cOnquerOT and con-
quered. Napoleon ascended these steps
When he took possession of Moscow.
and perhaps he felt forebOdings Of bis
destiny when he passed over them for
the last time.
