We were in n parlor car, on the Ca nadian Pacific, 40 niilcxont of Moose- Jaw, and woritwanl bound. I mot thrre clrli cufrinocrs, in tho employ of the company, at Winnipeg, and we were chutumiiiK It t o Vnticonver. \Nat bait bad' looking/' said Parkin undtnr hia breath. \Ocnced fine looking girl,'* Bald Qra- bnm, with an mArninog glance in the direction of tho atar pamfengcr. \Clean bnilt and well R roomed,\ mnttorod Clarke critically. \I wonder how she talka.\ I hod been regarding tho young wom an carefully. Hho yraa very pretty, bat that wan not alone vrbat caosed me to trMit&TcsB tbo rnlee of good breeding by \taring bnrd a t oar cbarmitig vIs-u-Tta. Was It fancy? A t any rate I con Id have sworn that, OH her eyes mot miuo over tho top of tho book, there woe an ex pression In thorn which nuid as plainly as words could liavo conveyed the idea, \ I deeiro to commnnicoto.\ It w .*m Ilko a flash, this gefltrxre of tho girl across tho way, and possibly 1 might have been mistaken. Could ahe have been aimply toasing back a stray lock of the golden sheen th&t enveloped her liandsomo head? Per ha pa—but then, that glance. \Lot's g o and smoke,\ said Parkin rising and making for the smoking com portment. \I'll join, yon In a moment,\ I said, and my<omponionM filed out. As they disappeared down to? aisle X cant a guarded glnnco in tho directiaaof tho young -n-oman. She had dropped the book to her kneoa and was leaning for ward silently. One whlto hand lay on the playli covered arm of the seat, tho other still separated the loaves of tho magozino. Her lnstrons eyes were gaz ing straight nt mo. Her lips, parted slightly, seemed about to addreas ma Sorely thcro conld bo no mistsking^ tho Hltaatfan.bat still, I reflected, It was well to be gnaxdod lu snch matters. Having filled my cigar enso from a box In my grip, preerrving meanwhile what I bavo always nattered myself was on sir of indifference, I mndo a move to re join ray companions. Then, With a quick motion of tho body, a nervous gesture of , (he hand, she spoke. \I beg your pardon,\ sho said. \I— er—that is—.will you grant me a mo ment's conversation?\ Ah, the voice woe not disappointing —quite the reverso I thought—well modulated, subdued* ladylike, in a word, but unmistakably American. \Iiholl bo profoundly honored,\ I answered, approaching the plash throne of my fascinating neighbor. \Pray sltdown—er— that fa—if I ant not detaining you,'' she went on, with the rwoet off tarn lie in the world, indicat ing et tho Knmo time a. seat opposite her own. \Coolcet cheek I ever encountered,\ was my silent reflection, but I sat down and awaited developments. \It Is so or unch a difficult mntter to approach, '* sho began In a queer aort of way. \I wlah we knew each other a little bettor, you know.\ \Heaven eend the opportunity,'' I spoke with all tho gallantry at my com- D)amL. \Lottt her parte—wants to bor row lbooey—father a minister in Moot- real, and all that aort of thing,\ I thought, and then kicked myself for harbariog such arTltfoe. \If I can bo of any pomible eervloe,\ I mid, \I shall be charmed.\ \Sir ahe replied, with an appealing gesture, \ytra arc able to render me ma Immense aorvlco—If yon Will Bnt stay, —of course yon consider my add renting yoa In this manner an anpardouahlalm- pertloenco. I am an AmericaB, yoa know,** ah* oantinned, with a q»aint Uttle pride in the. saying of it, \and (with a toaon of heraios) a Dcunseas woman.\ .\Pardon me,**\I ventured. \A lady can address a> geotleman under almost any conceivable. oircnnmtanrea. * * \Will you, then, accept my card,\ the proceeded, offering a tiny slip of cardboard. I took it and read the in scription. .^Margaret Stanford, Special Correspondent. '* In the lower left hand corner waa printed In larger type the Suae of a well known,San.IVaadaoo paper. \Ah I have heard of you,\ I remark ed. I sever had, but then it Sa the proper thinf to say to a newspaper woman. She likea yon all the better for It, although aatisfied that you havo lied. Hlas Stavafard, Smllod graciously. \That waa nice of you,\ ahe said quiet ly, aod then, without mere ado, went at the heart of her dilemma. \Do yoa know the- crown prince of Anstriar\ ahe began. \No—I left Vienna when only 4 and\— \Oh pleaae don't frivol,\ cried, my little fries*! from frisco. \It' s too aeri- \What? Knowing the prinoe or not knowing himr'* \Both ahe replied, with an air of oasperation. \Bnt listen. The Crown rrinoa Tcrdlnacd of Austria is on this araim. His oar-is a special in the rear of ours, and ho la tuuring tho Rockies. I hove been sent to obtain an interview with him, but royenrd bos been rcfam ed twice by Connt Somebotly-or-other, who Is one of the suite. To all intents and parpcees tbo prinoe has refuted to see me.\ \Tho Idiot,\ I ejaculated—\cr—I— mean—tie man most ho insane.\ \Ho said Miss Stanford, Ignoring my remark, \he'a been talked to death, that 's alL 1 overheard your conversa tion and discovered your prof anion. Yon are a newspaper man. ** \Troo I said, \but If tho prince will not receive you he certainly will not llBtcn lo my request.\ \IlDrn is n plan,\ went on my joux- nnlltitio f rip ml. \ I ninst see the prince. It's abtulureJy uecosmry to my fulcra I am detenoiucd to talk to him. Tbeto is no one else in this part of the car but Durfelves. Soppoao yon forced on unwel come attention on me—what should I bo most likely to do?\ ' \You'd run a way, wouldn't yoa?\ I hazarded. \Ron where?\ she gasped. \Where should I run tol\ \Into tho next car, by Jove,\ I an swered, catching the daring Idea. \That's It.\ And tho girl from Frisco literally danced iu her seat with delight \Ocn't you understand—tha priuco is young, bo Is chivalrous—eT^n hot bead ed, they say. If you will pnrsno mo in to tho next car I will be your friend for life. Will yon do It?\ She sat thcro with both hands oxtend- ed toward me In an attitude of suppli cation. I saw Parkin coming down the aislo from the smoker iu the rear end, and witnocacd the astonishmcut on bis face. Ho ducked out again as silently as a ghost It was risky business this charing women into prince's caravans, bat still It was business. Lord, if I could only get that roydl Austrian to punch my head, that and the story leading up to it would tell liko a now Yankee toy in the Strand. It was a good enough thing ta take a chaste on. •*AU right,\ I said. \Goon. \ Like lightning she waa off down lbs aisle, past the smoking Rompartment, where my Winnipeg friends were await ing my arrival, and Into tho rear coach. Three piercing shrieks uttered as she disappeared brought a crowd of foreign notables to her lescoe, and X was encer- emaniously bustled off tho platform by one of tbo biggest of the lot. The next instant I was Etruggllng desperately in the arms of thow three engineers from Winnipeg, who swnro I had suddenly gone fniwno and wanted to telegraph my lrlends. It took mo half an hoar to ex plain matters to them and to tho con ductor, whofe Indignation passed all understanding. Then Miss Stanford emerged, leaning on the arm of a stiff backed dignitary of the Anstrinn court, who bowed her Into our car with pro* found ceremony. \Shake hands,\ sho cried, bar face flashed with excitement and satlrffuc' tian, \jhnkc both hands, Idas mo if you want to, I've got it— tho boat story that ever was printed.\ Somehow I always thought that Mln Stanford forgot to print the beat port of the story. And this Is tho whole truth about that interview with Ferdinand.— Arthur Jonies Peglar in SL Louis He* public, Karlr Ca« of Gaepowrfer.

Soaaa Anecdote* of Humphrey afarahalt. Soldier and Cooareaamaa. Edward J. ATcDermott, In on article entitled \Fun on tho Stump\ In Tho Century, relates tho following: J net befuro tho war Humphrey Mar shall was a great debater in congress. During tho war ho was a Confederate general. He was very large and stout— a veritable Falstoff. At tho breaking out of tho war ho wrote to on officer of the north and warned him not to Invado the sacred soil of Kentucky, for If he did bo would have to pass over tho dead body of Humphrey Marshall. The north ern officer replied: \Deargeneral we won't p.w over your dead body. Wo prefer to tnnnal through.\ After tho war tho general had a good practice, but he was extravagant and often In need of monoy. Once ho was dogged by it collector who had been put off dozens of rimes. At lastthecollcctor Bald: \General you havo sold to me time after timo: ' I cannot pay you this week. Cotuo next.' Now, I can't afford to bo coining here all tho time. Yoa maftt fix the day. When will you bo able to pay ma?*' \D—n it, sir,\ said tho general, \da yon think la m a prophet?\ When tho general was running for congress against Mr. Blank, after tho war, ho tried ta draw out Mr. Blank's exact opinions by a close debate cn the stump. In snch an Intollcotunl conflict fow men could compete with Humphrey Marshall. Mr. Blank parried and fenced as well as bo conld. Finally Marshall said ono evening in his ponderous tones and Impressive manner: \Fellow citizens, I have tried to pin Mr. Blank down and mako him give me a fair statement of his opinions and principles, lint he flits about so nimbly that it Is Impossible to follow him in an argument. In dodging a debate he re minds mo of a bobolink flitting along a zigzag worm fence, bopping or flying, first an ono side of the fence and then on tho other, until tho mind is bewil dered, and It is impossible to tell an which sfdo ho is at any moment,\ Father Dmeer.

One Frtjadlce Tor Another, The projudice of tbe divine right of parliaments was rubstituted for tho proj udice of the divino right of kings. Now parliaments, in accordance with the laws of collectivo psychology, liko all hnman assemblages, are liable to sudden and unexpected impulses—im pulses such as may at times movn a crowd to commit crimes, as waa tho cose in tho French revolution, or to practice soma generous act, as happened during tho Italian ritmrglrienta That such was possible had been recognized already by Napoleon U IH Great nro tho modern Italian ponitivlst school of phi losophy had reduced experience to a for mula, far when Inditing his studios on thoconvention tbo emperor wrote, \Col lective- crimes implicate no one.\ A deed or word may change the judg ment of all by tho contagious emotion of n moment.
