"llnppy I may not cnll thee until I lenrn
that thy Ufa has been luipplly. ended."
Tims soliloquized young Mr. Henry
Ilcusliall us ho reclined, day dreaming,
against tho cushions of hli sent in tliu for
ward section of a Wagner car.
Tho New York Central train was speed
ing him on and on, to which fact ho was
utterly oblivious.
Ho had secured tho forward section to
escape, observation. Ho sat with his back
to tho passengers. Himself was compan
ionship enough. Ho desired only to think
and to dream.
Ho had but n fow days since put Colum
bia college, so to speak, among his stock
of reminiscences, with hor highest honors
In his trunk.
Ho had mentally given over his father's
great manufacturing interests, which In
vited him to take, immediate, possession
and give tho aged siro his desired retire
ment, to tho devil and tho deep blue. sea.
Ho loved his Ideal best, his art next, tho
devil takn what was hindmost. Tho ideal
was now Ids quest; art ho could achieve
between times. It was of her ho dreamed
-his ideal.
lie stared through the dim Nyht (it the
mirror.
As he sat there gazing at tho end of the
car, deep in the contemplation of this yet
unseen but ever clearly outlined celestial
ideal girl, with all tho glamour of youth,
the words of the great Solon to envious
Croesus would thrust themselves between
bis thoughts and seize him like some grim
specter, "Huppy I may not call theu until
I learn that thy lifo has been ha; plly
ended."
"Why need what old Solon or any ono
elso ever said concern mor" he mused.
"What difference does it mako what peo
plo say or who says Itf A fact is a fact,
and a theory a theory Ono mail's theory
is us good for his own purposes as another's
theory. Tho fact in my case is that I am
satisfied to paint, notwithstanding dad's
wrath ami the business ho would thrust on
me. Let dad earn tho money, or who will
I deslro only to spend it.
"So much for tho fact. My theory is,
and I prefer it to Solon's, that to marry my
ideal will bo the acmo of happiness and
will insure a happy ending to my lifo. If
I never find her more or less of 'my lifo will
bo miserable and will cud unhappily:"
The young man failed to seo that ho had
exactly conformed his theory to Solon's,
that ho had expressed the same theory pre
cisely with variations'in form only. Youth
is deluded and Ignore resemblances, those
trifles which mode. Darwin immortal. Ho
continued to mtiho:
"As an artist my preferences run to
browns. They aro my favorite colors, lo
cause to mo they aro most beautiful, most
quiet, most sinmro and thcleastsuggestivo
of either gaudincss or gloom. My ideal
unseen, unknown love Is a symphony in
browns brown hair, brown eyes and a
complexion tinted brown rather than white
or red.
"She is very small in stature, heuco sure
to bo superbly perfect In form. Her little
head is beautifully rounded and symmetri
cal, likewise her dimpled arm and her ,
sweet little hands. Her little feet aro in--cased
in child's boots, not larger than n
child's No. 12. Sho is"
Ho paused abruptly, startled, for ho saw
her. Ills eye had been wandering among
tho gorgeous tapestries of tho car, tho
beautifully wrought woodwork, tho superb
French plate glass panes in the windows,
tho oil painted ceilings anil tho blue and
gold woven velvets of the cushions.
At last it rested on a mirror In front and
above his head that slightly inclined from
tho top toward him Millicicutly to oxposo

Ing. He was leing slowly fascinated by a
.shadow as yet undefined, but momentarily
growing more startling, Ho stared through
the dim light nt tho mirror until his eyes
became accustomed to tho shadows above,
and tho picture among tho other images
gradually dcllnod Itself.
What he saw, thnt which wound round
and round him silken threads of fascina
tion, might have been rollected through a
dozen mirrors from .side to sldo and from
end to end of tho car.
Suddctdy ho turned and attempted to
discover tho original among tho passe n
gen. Fulling in this ho again sought tho
mirror, giving himself entirely to tho
study of ono dim outline.
What ho saw was the hoad and bust of a
young girl. It so exactly conformed to the
ideal of which ho had dreamed so long that
he concluded the imago must bo n concets
tlou merely n psychological ghost, as it
were.
There was his dream face surely the
symphony In browns tho brown hair,
every thrca-i i-s delicate as tho dow catch
ing gauze of a spider; the largo brown
eyes, in which wiui the very soul of the
loftiest conceivable intellect, tho highest
genius cf music, perhaps the complexion
slightly tinted brown, but cut by the
sweetest red lips; the evidently small stat
ure and perfect form, the bountifully
rounded and symmetrical headland dint
pled am.
Ho only lacked ji glimpse of the feet to
complete the spell of fascination, except of
course the realization of his absorbing de
sire possession. He closed his ey an in
stant to more completely Imagine it alia
dream. Again he looked to revel Iti tho
picture, but madness it was gone.
Startled, tho young mail turned in dis
may, when, to his almost uncontrollable
joy, the girl in nil her ideal beauty slowly
approached him in tho aisle. His quick,
artistic eye enccmipassed her form in a
glance, completing tho picture. She had
exqulslto feet incased In little I mots not
larger than a child's No. 12.
Tho girl hesitated, looking at him shyly,
as If In doubt whether to proceed. Why,
ho could not for an instant imagine, blithe
afterward attributed it to tho fact that lie
actually devoured her, so far as ono can
dovour a girl with the eyes. Her hesitation
was but momentary, then she approached
n small sliver water tank in tho corner of
the lobby near him.
Ho was on his feet in an instant. Ho
sprang to the tank, Ids tall form bonding
until his eyes were on a level with her, and
ho gazed at her with that eagerness and in
tensity with which u starved nomad mlglit
look through a window on an epicure's
dinner nt Delmonico's.
"Permit mo to assist you," ho said gen
tly, with difficulty controlling n deslro to
grasp her hand.
"Thanks, you aro very kind," ventured
the maiden, wondering at his eagerness
and intensity of gaze.
Ho placed the silver goblet under tho
faucet, letting tho liquid ooze out as slowly
as possible while ho continued his gaze like
ono in a dream of delight.
"Tho water is oversowing tho goblet,"
suggested tho girl with an amused smile.
Tho man awoke confusedly, turned tho
water off and handed to her the cup.
"Couldn't you let it run over a little
while)'" ho asked half impatiently. "The
carpet will absorb It. I have boon looking
for you so long. I"
"Oh, certainly, if you wish," sho inter
rupted. "Hut then I am so thirsty, you
know."
"And so am I," tho man said wearily
"1 was never oo thirsty in my life."
"Then I advise you to take a drink," re
torted tho girl with a laugh, and sho ab
ruptly turuvd.aud left him.
"It is not for water I am craving," mur
mured the wretched man, but if sho heard
him she gave no sign of It.
Ho watched her move down tho aisle and
enter the drawing room nt tho other end
of tho car. Tho reason of his inability to
see her among tho passengers was now evi
dent. Hut how could her imago bo reflect
ed in the mirror in frout of him?
His eye caught a quick solution. Tho
transom over the door of tho drawing room
was open. Some mirror on tho inside re
flected the images of the people to some
mirror on tho outside and thence Into tho
ono over his head.
Hungry and dissatisfied ho seated him
self again to contemplate tho picture and
scheme to get acquainted.
Now ho recoguized other people In tho
drawing room also reflected in tho mirror.
There was an old man with a sober, dis
satisfied face who looked as if ho might bo
ft disciple of Henry Georgo deep in contem
plation of laud theories; a woman with a
just theu unreadable countenance, who
might lw tho ideal's instructress in music
or other studies, or her governess, perhaps;
lastly, tho face of a younger man, say of
35 years, that boro In it cunning, malice,
suavity and other characteristics which
denoted a shrewd schemer and perhaps a
villainous nature.
Was she traveling in security with an
aged, absorbed patent and trusted friends,
or was her father, If such ho bo, oblivious
to the machinations of a villain, who hail
an accomplice In tho supposed governess?
Ho resolved to probe this mystery to tho
bottom, If he hud to travel around tho
earth to do it if ho had to employ detect
ives, hall to squander ins wnoic tort line.
Poor maul Ho little knew how much of
his contemplation was to bo re.ill7.eil in his
future nixistenee.
Alarmed by the workings of his brain ho
suddenly resolved to paint the group as
they appeared tu the mirror.
He raised tho curtain near him to In
crease the effect of tho scene In tho mirror,
but It iiuy dulled out the picture and ho
drew It down.
From his vallso ho took a palette, his
paints and brushes and a small square "f
canvas with ii heavy pasteboard back de
signed for use. in. tho absenco of an easel.
Ho began sketching on his ideal. It was
a Joyous taHk, so much so that his whole
soul liecnmu concentrated In the work, and
tho lines In which he drew tho lovely face
rapidly grow into a fao-slmllo of life.
Of course the best he could do during
the remainder of tho day was to prepare
studies for more finished paintings later.
Still he lingered long and lovingly on
the face of his Ideal until the study, under
tho intensity of his love and longing, be
came not a bad picture
The day gradually lengthened until ho
recognized that he must turn his attention
to the others of tho group or miss theiii by
nightfall.
They might get oil at some destination
north of New York. Ho .must hu'.ten.
With feverish anxiety, intensified by tho
thought of her possible escape from him
ho put away tho paints and took to his
pencil.
lly nightfall he bad sketched the group,
so that all Its characters might lw recog
nized by the detectives whom ho already
ptirHscd putting on tlto case If ho should
miss them.
Mr. Jleushnll concluded that in the din
dig car at dinner he should have tho pleas
uro of sitting at tho table next to the
group. To his utter disappointment din
ner win nerved to the party In the seclu
slon of the drawing room.
He entered the dining car on tho last
call and resorted to stimulants to urge his
brain Into some suggestion for his relief.
Ho returned to his section and called the
conductor, having evolved no other
schema
"Can you tell me tho names of tho paity
in the drawing room and their destina
tion V ho queried anxiously.
"I do not know their names," replied the
ofllcial, "as the room was merely marked
off to a party of four. However, I know
that their destination is Now York, and
that they have transfer tickets either for
some steamer or railroad. In case of the
latter they should bo bound southward; if
abroad, their courso is but a wild con.
jaituro."
"Find out for mo where they aro going
and I will pay you $10."
"Very well, sir." Uut that was tho last
ho saw of tho conductor.
When darkness set in tho brilliant elec
tric lights of the Wagner palace increased
tho Intensity of the picture In tho mirror.
At last Henshall observed hoiuo move
ment in tho drawing room.
The girl took a violin, ami tuned it to
suit her practised little ear. Soon thero
began to float through tho car the ravish
ing arias of Chopin, Schumann and other
masters.
If she was exquisitely beautiful to him
btfere, what could describe her when
pouring her very soul Into muslcf It was
then that tho beautiful brown eyes vindi
cated his sense of tho artistic mid his love
of their color.
In the mystic spell of that entrancing
music ho could seo clearly through tho per
fection of her fingering, bowing, technique,
llnish and grace into her very soul, which
was mirrored in her eyes.
Ho had listened to OloDull in times
past, to Sembrich and even to Christine
Nilssou when sho had chosen to seize a
violin and charm her friends; but in love
as ho was the music of the maiden for
whom he was hungering seemed to pale
tho efforts of those great artists.
The very motion of tho car was in har
mony with her- time. Passengers throw
away their novels and listened. Tho old
man in the drawing room closed his eyes
as if in rapturous sleep. The villainous
looking mau, ns If fascinated, thrust his
face as near to hers as ho could without
disturbing tho player, and his looks
showed passion, longing, und a malicious
intent which maddened Henshall.
As suddenly as the music commenced it
ceased. Tho girl arose and put away her
violin so'tly nud with a caress. Evidently
sho was tired and wished to seek her
couch.
Had the young man heard what was
said within, his anxiety would have been
increased to a fever heat, but ho had not
that privilege, much to his later disad
vantage. Soon the lights within Che drawing room
went out; tho group had retired.
Long in contemplation the young man
sat. At lost, merely to rellovo tho porter,
all the remaining passengers being In bed,
ho betook himself to his couch. It vis
hours lx.'foro his tired brain would rest,
and it was broad daylight before ho awoke
to violently spring to tho floor and dress
himself. Tho car was standing in the
yards of tho Grand Central depot The
berths were all made u,. and the open doors
of the drawing room showed that his bird
had flown. He sought tho porterln a rage.
"Where have they gone the people In
tho drawing room?" ho almost shouted.
"Don't know, sab. Don't know nothlii'
'tall about It. Train got heah at 4 o'clock
dls inawnln'. Do pus.senges get tip when
da pleases. 'Spec do folks got up when da
pleased."
Mr. Henshall sat down a moment to clear
his brain. He was stunned.
Most of the night ho had tossed in bed,
hoping for an nc-idunt, a crash, a flre.nny
thing, that ho might spring to.her rescue.
Nothing of the kind had happened. In
stead ho had gone to sleep llko a stone
and let her escape.
It was now 10 o'clock. Six hours had
elapsed, sulllclent for tho party to huvo
escaped by Kuropeaii steamer or to the
south, or worse, perhaps to tiieir homo In

Dr. 1). I-. Palue, tho Prohibition candi
date for governor of Nebraska, was born
In Ohio In Itol. He graduated from the
Ohio Medical col
lege In IH7.1, and
from Hahnemann
college of Phila
delphia In 1877.
After a brief prac
tice In his native
state he went west
and located in Ne
braska. Ho was
then a poor man.
Twelve years In
the capital of this
state have proven
successful years, ,Iti (l- u pjjjk,
professionally and
lluaucially. During tho four years of the
medical department of the state university
Dr. Paino was dean of the homeopathic
faculty. For several years ho was tho
leader of the Y. M. O. A. forces in Lincoln.
He has always ls'eu an active church
worker. Business associates quote the
doctor as being worth from $r,000 to
100,000, largely invested in real estate. Ho
hits lectured in several western states dur
ing the past live years, principally on re
ligious and moral topics. He wil make n
brief canvass, and will devote his speeches
mainly to the advocacy of the Prohibitory
amendment.
What Is it that N accountable for that
nervous energy so characteristic of the foolal
life of this port of "the west!" Persons, who
in their eastern homes, were demure and emi
nently, even painfully, "proper," soon fall
victims to tho prevailing Infection once thoy
pitch their lenU on tho western prairies and
mountain rnnges. Men who loved to Idle
away their time, to spend the fleeting hours
In the delightful task of doing absolutely
nothing, change, perhajts, involuntarily, their
manner of life when they settle down In this
new empire. Women who lived only In tho
seclusion of their homes on tho other hM nt
. Chicago and the Inlay, enter Into the more
exciting social plensuios, ns n matter of
course, when they migrate to western towns
and cities of greater altitude. Ther Is a gen
eral air of restlessness, of peculiar activity.
Feoplo feel as though thoy must do soiac

that surpassh g vitality In our commercial
life, acts also ipon the social life. It stirs us
up. It iiiitkr us fly around, this way and
that, until we Is-eomo almost ubiquitous. It
infuses a new zet Into all the ple-isures and
pastimes of society. If we were active in our
eastern homes, weare doubly active In our
new Held. We are forever going somewhere

In the above sketch Itcdferu has used plush
of a deep bronze-brown for the back and
sleeve Kjrtlous, while the scurf front, girdled
at the waist by a broad baud of gold metallic
ribbon, is of terra eotta corded silk, slightly
braided Just below the collar with gold braid.
This collar Is of the flaring MedlcU iIiiimj and

are puffed very high. The tiny toque Is of
the same plush as the cus, and Its bird
matches the silk lu tint.

The toque is of the cloth to match, with loops
of black velvet and a short, curled ostilcli tip
of the same sable hue.
