THE OMAHA DAILY JlEEi 8ATUHDAY APRIL 11, 1003. 18 THE REST OF THE STORY. By A, J. DAWSON. (Copyright. !, by T. C. McClure ) ' Men st mjr club ssy Cirrw tu a beast, and that I how they dismiss the Morton Cerew bualnree. They don't know any thing about It. And that they thlok ao s luteljr the moat Impossible tort of thing Varew eer did may I doo"t ny It will crap him through a hers lomt of may be told to aland down when the laat reckou Ing cornea. I suppose his people and tba Mortons decided before Ialy Morton could walk that aha ahould marry Henry Carew, aad so unite the Hampshire propertlea. Harry left a vry fair record behind him at Eton, baring followed tha Una of leaat resistance thrre, and thua arolded lecturea and pun ishment. Ha meandered through hie time at Oxford. Titten he dawdled about tho continent for tlx montha, and returned home In time for Dalay'a "coming-out" ball on her nineteenth birthday. Tbcra were rery few men la England then who lOTed color aad beauty mora than did Harry Carew. Dal ay waa beautiful. A trine apolled by her people, perbapa, but dainty, charming, wlnaoma little queen. 'And nona of thoaa concerned bad been qulta foollah enough to let her suspect anything of the deputy-deattny btialneaa. Tha ltghta wera brilliant, tha decoratlona fceaotlful and the oocaaton Ineplrtng. Tba Mrroundlnga auajgested aentlment. The Suggestions of environment wera alwaya Drat cauaa and law abeoluta to Harry Carew. In a dimly-lighted, flower-scented eonaerTatory wlnaoma Daisy grew tender with her old playmate. The situation de manded lta curtain. Tha Una of leaat re- alatance waa tha man'a only couree. Ha threw back hie head to tha pleaatng In toslcatlon of It all, told Dalay ha loved her, and won her promise to be bla wife. "Well, ahe'a a dear little girl, anyhow! said Harry to himself a ha atood at bla bedroom window watching tha aun rlaa over the New Forest. Within tha next few days the vary un Decenary formality of aiklag for foment had been gona through. For varloui rea aona It waa decided that tha marriage ahould not taka place till after Dalay'a 20th birthday, and to this arrangement neither of tha contracting parties had any objection. Juat a month after tba engagement news reached old Mr. Caraw In Hampshire of certain compllcatlone connected with aome of hla extenalvs atation property In New South Wales. An absconding manager and a aerloua btsh Are . wera among tha diffi culties, and Mr. Caraw's Sydney aollcltora strongly advised a visit to tha south, and In tho peraonal setting to rights of things The delicate stats of bla wire's health and bla own duties as a member of parliament made leaving England at that time Im possible for Mr. Carew. In discussing tna matter with bis father Harry Carew. without for a moment think ing of his engagement, expressed bla read I neos to go to New South Wales, just s be might have offered to run up to London. The old gentleman very gladly accepted his son's offer. So Harry explained the situa tion to his fiancee and prepared to leave England for Brindlsl at once, promising that his trip should not occupy mors than three or four months at tha moat. Then It waa that Daisy Morton discov ered that she really loved the easy-going man aha had promised to marry. When aha had given ber promise aha had been -merely "fond" of Harry. Now she loved him, and experienced a feeling of dread In parting from blm. So there were (ears in her pretty eyea aa ahe said "Oood-by." But the time bad passed for any altera tion of plana, and after all, ahe told her self, the separation would only laat a few montha. Harry Carew stayed only three days In Sydney. Then, with the breath of things English atill fresh In hla nostrils, he atartad for the north, where his father's stations lay. What hs saw from the box of the "Cobb's Royal Mall" between Tibberena nd Meryula was his flint glimpse of the tush the great gray wlldcrnesa. Carew looked, and saw. a little; and waa Interested. It takes a goodlsh time to sea comprehendlngly, but there does come a period at which one haj a desire, on reach ing the bush from an outpost of civilisation, to bare one's head before lta naked, solitary i ' grandeur. Carew had, of course, not reached I this period when be dlamountad from Cobb'a Mall outside the Meryula store. At the little Iron and weatherboard ebanty which In Meryula la called "The Royal Hotel." he hired a wiry little broken-ln brumby at about half the cost of the outright purchaae of a horae la the same locality and aald he would ride out to the Cootra homestead alone. He rode out quite a considerable dis tance in the direction indicated by Larry Foley of the hotel as the road to Cootra. And then he gradually realised that be had lost hla way, and himself. Though he did not realise the fact, bis losing tha track waa, up till that time, the cataatropha par excellence of bis life. In the Meryula country old handa hava died, mad and starved, buahed wlthjn five miles of a township. . The sun wss setting. Later on came a Utile moonlight; not much, but enough to make that weird Meryula country many times mora weird and bewildorlng than It bad been In the evening auallght. Carew spent the night In realising his position. ' Aud before daylight came he was very weary and gray, and a little hysterical In the very early morning sunlight Carew lifted up hla tired eyea and thauked bis Maker for the sound of a human voles, It wss a rich, untrained contralto, and tha trifling, joyoua worda that reached the man'a wondering ears were, "Up In the morning" and then a break. Terbapa there waa a stumble and a change of strlds la soma hollow Riding through wet grass, the buahman's on nia way; The bullock bells they ring along ths bill tide there, And- And then Csrew pushed bis brumby bur rtedly to one side to make way for a borae flying at full gallop down tha aide of the little ridge, at the foot of which he, Carew, bad been waiting and listening. "Hullol Who a there?" in turn or luur nun ua own leuam the galloping borae was reined on to its haunches, with a "Darkey I Wat Bteady steady 1" And Caraw saw that ths singer wss a girl, whose long, glossy hair streamed behind her, dew-spangled, and whoas face bad a warm, moist bloom upon It. Thla waa Aileea, ths 11-year-old daughter of James O'Malley, ths missing and ab sconding manager or ths Cootra. A new manager was installed now, with bla wife, at Cootra homesiead. Alices kept ber own ' room still, however. And In the meantime ahe had ber horae, Darkey, wild and un tamed aa herself; snd the Bush the Bush they both loved. So ahe bad stayed on at the homestead, waiting with naqutietlonlng faith for ber father's return. Now, In the course of ber customary morning's gallop ahe found Harry Carew loat la the bush, just thres sac a bslt miles from ths home paddock slip-rails of bla father's principal atation. ... . . . A neen interested larew, Because sns wss beautiful, and because aha seemed llri.-ly part of the atrange, great wilderness la which shs had found him. "It doea seem funny to think of your loe Ing your way, but I believe strangers do Cod Meryula country difficult. And I sup pose there's ao rush la Euglaadt" "Nuf' salt Caraw, a he rede by fcer aids. There's no bush la England. Then be sdded to himself, "And, by gad, there ars no bueh girls In England." Late that evening the Englishman rosa from a hammock chair on the veranda at Cootra, after a long talk over affairs of ths atation with Grantham, the new manger- By the way," said Grantham. "Regard ing the girl Miss O'Malley. Of course. If you think, Mr. Carew, that ahe ought not to remain here, I will arrange at once for" Well, I don't know." broke. In Carew, slowly. "She seems attached to the place, and Is evidently absolutely trusting aud innocent as far as her father la concerned. I think. If you can manege it, you had bet ter let ma pay Mrs. Grantham some allow ance, and" I seel Very well, Mr. Csrew. Of course we shall hare no objection In ths world to ber staying aa long as shs pleases." Then the two men par'.ed tor the nWht, snd for a long time while Harry Carew sat at bla open bedroom window, looking out across ths wide bsck veranda of Cootra, over tha moist, sweet-smelling grass, to wbers the Wydsn bills loomed, dark and billowy, against a fleecy sky, sepia-splashed by the moonlight, the fascinating loveli ness of It all, filtered Into his mind slowly. "It's very like that child. By Jove! Its very Ilka Alleen," he muttered, aa at last hs turned away from the little square frame through which be had Been this picture. Carew woke very early r-st morniug. when the sky over the Wrdaa hills was a misty rift of purple snd gray. The home stead waa still and silent and asleep wb.-n he looked out from his door down the wide, shadowy hall. So he closed the door again and stepped out through his bed room window onto the veranda. Juat then the Englishman noticed a horse standing, saddled and bridled, at the door of one of the homestesd's half dozen out houses. The animal looked round aa he approached, and at that moment Aileen appeared at the outhouse door holding a quince switch In her hand. "Oh, good morning, Miss O'Malley," said Csrew. The girl smiled brightly ss She passed one slim srm through Darkey's bridle. "Good morning!" ahe replied. "You shouldn't call me "Miss O'Malley,' though. No one ever does that." "I beg your pardon. Alleen la so Infi nitely prettier, that I I suppose I ahould have known, but for my English Ignor ance. I wish I could follow your example In the matter of the morning ride, but my first experlencs makes me rather shy of venturing out alone," "Well, why don't you catch Oolddust, there, and come with meT You could tako Mr. Grantham's saddle. He won't mind." Under the circumstances, Carew thought he might rlak Mr. Grantham's displeasure. Five minutes later be was cantering along by Darkey's sids toward ths lower slopes of the Wydah hills. That rids by the sids ot this strange, beautiful child of the bush, waa tha first, and perhaps to Caraw, tha pleasantest of long series of morning and evening wan derings about Cootra. To tba girl It was ths beginning of all things. And as ths beginning it was beautiful. Tba English man's companionship and attentions, shs accepted with perfectly unaffected enjoy ment, aa a new and splendid gift from the great Father of her belief, who gave ber accesa to the bush; and to all the glorious exhilaration of bush rMlng. Cares la hla inconsequent way bad left no instructions in Sydney for posts re- atanta letters to be forwarded to blm. And so It hsppened thst week after week slipped by In the uneventful Cootra life, without any communication from the outside world coming to remind the Englishman that he bad tlea and responsibilities in a placs where no bush wss. Then, one hazy summer's svenlng, when Carew was preparing for a ride with Aileen, came a station hand from Medyula with a batch of Hampshire and other let ters, forwarded from Sydney by the Cootra solicitors. Carew postponed his evening ride, and sat down with a dawning ot seri ousness In his eyes, to open and read his letters. He read them his father's snd his fiancee's and at every line his face grew a little more aerloua, and a little more foreign to the phase of nature worahip, and lotus eating In the bush, through which he bad been passing. As he laid aside the laat letter of the batch, he decided to return to Sydney at the end of that week. Meantime, Alleen. A new world bad be gun from that morning when ahe found Carew In the Nueh. And be was in ber new world, sun, moon and stara, land, sea aud atmosphere. And now be bad to go away for a time. He found himself abaolutely Incapable ot hurting her feelings, or producing a light ot pain in ber big eyes, by telling her that ha would not return; that their parting waa to be ae final as their meeting had been accidental. The line ot leaat resistance waa embodied In the words, "Autwleder- sebn." In any case, he told himself he hsd provided for her living always at the home stead, where she would be taken care of. Alleen rode with him to Meryula, and two bright tears trickled down from her black eyes when she said "Oood-by" before Carew mounted the coach. Oood-by, little girl I That Is au re voir, you know. And Not I shan't forget. Be as happy as you can till I coma again." And then tha coach lumbered off down tha dusty road and Alleen atood at Darkey's head shsdlng ber eyes with one little brown hand and gasing after her new world, till the coach became only a distant cloud of dust. Thst last look ot hers wrs not easy to forget. She hsd lost her new world for a time, snd ths old world wss forever cut off. Bo, for a little while she must sit In the grey ness ths no man's land between ths two, till her lover came back, bringing the world she loved. No doubt Carew did all that It wss nec eaaary for him to do In Sydney. But he did not apend more time over It than he could help, and aa soon ss waa conveniently poaaibls he set sail in the old Carthage for England, and the world he had left aome five or six months before. Hs lsnded at Plymouth and went straight to Hampshire Instead ot going round by London. Everyone knows what happened then. That la tha part of ths story known to ths men at my club; and on ths strength of which, regarding It as the whole atory, they dismissed the affair by calling Carew a beast. . i. There la no need for me to tell bow Harry Carew pressed foran early dsts for bis wedding. Queenly little Daisy wss very glsd to bsve her lover back again. and lost all bsr eaprlclousnesa In undis guised bapplneas and la ths snjoymeat ot her lite. Caraw hsd managed to arrange hla father's Australian affairs very satis factorily; and ths two Hampshire house holds wsre ss happy as any In England when ths week ot Daisy's wedding arrived On ths afternoon before the event the bridegroom wss la London, making certain final arrangements tor his honeymoon lour through southera Europs. I think hla feel ings must bsvs been a little mixed that day, or he would hsvs gons horns by ao early train. I met blm on the steps of Venol's restaurant st T o'clock and asked If hs mesnt to stay la town for dluaer Hs looked a good deal worried, and left mt rather hurriedly. He ssld bs would not dine la town, but bad one or two appoint meats to beep, and waa Juat going to hava seas tea wit a Crtsad.

It doea not matter now i snow ine rear of It. I do know It, and tnis is wnai nap. pened. At 10 o'clock that evening carew waa strolling through Soho, making, 1 fancy, for his club. As he turned a corner near Regent street, a girl, quite young and prettily dressed, stepped forward in ironi of him and laid her hand on hla arm. She was very pale and looked 1)1, but the man was thinking ot other things. Hs mur mured something commonplace and tried to push past the girl. Then sh. caught hold of his sleeve. "Ocd, hsvs you no pity? I am starvlngt" It startled Carew. He apologised, and hi. hand moved toward hla pocket. No ticing the movement the girl gave a little moan. But whether Carew was a Deaat or not, he was a gentleman. He raised his hand Instead and offered the girl hla arm. Then he took her to a restaurant everyone knowa the place and ordered dinner, or supper; a meal anyhow, for two. The girl was simply fainting for wsnt ot food. There was no possibility of mistake about that. Carew had ordered the meal out of consideration for the girl In a pri vate room. The man's most chivalrous part waa uppermost In him. She ate ravenously until her hunger wss sppeased. They 'hen began to talk. The girl's appearance gave the chapter headlnga of her life's story. A sad, bad story, old, snd containing no light to re lieve Its pathos, of a man's betrayal ot a woman's trust, and afterward of a dreary mist ot weaknesa In the land where one side sows and the other reaps wild csts. But she spoks as a woman speaks whoss early days have been good snd sweet; too good snd sweet for the memory of thorn to bsvs faded. Carew aat llatenlng. fitting parts of the story to his own life as most men might fit It to theirs. Hs shivered onos or twloe when the girl's wsakness mad. her lean back In her chair and pauss tor a minuts In the telling of ber story. At laat the atory was told and ths girl sighed, exhausted, and full ot gratitude to Carew. It rather stung him, ths grati tude. Then be began to talk. He had ascertained that the girl's mother wss a widow, and lived near Uverpool. There la a train which leaves Kuston at 11 o'clock every night for Liverpool. Harry Csrew helped the girl Into a nrst class carrlags. Tber. waa an "engaged" label on the window, and though the girl had no luggage, there waa In her aeat a soft rug. a bundle ot illustrated papers snd a little basket from the refreshment room. Qoodbyl" said Carew, as ths train b gan to move. He waa atanding on xne iooi board and holding the girl's hand In Ms. You'll tell your mother what I told youl "Tea, yea! May God In heaven bleaa oh! Qoodbyl" Everyone knows that Daisy Morton In atated on driving to the church at the ap pointed time next morning. Although two hours before Carew had not arrived st his people's plsce, yet Queea relay aald he would be at the church. Everybody was there, except the bridegroom snd tbs bride groom's father. The bridegroom did not come 'at all, and when the bridegroom's father cams be eat- lied In his hand a telegram, the wording of which filled two tlssus sheets. Then little Deli gave way, snd old Dr. Gordon stayed all night at the Mortons' pises and a good part of ths next day. Tbs telegram, though It did occuny te sheets, said only that Harry Caraw was sorry, snd then sgaln that hs was sorry- very sorry, He would never be seen In Hampshire sgaln; and ones mors hs wss sorry. It wss then the men at my club pronounced him a beaat. I know that shortly after noon on the day fixed tor bla wedding Carew landed In Plymouth by the express from Waterloo. Ia the luggage van were a couple ot new, regulation tin trunks, snd tbelr labels ware addreasad tfiua: -U. K Carew, K. U. S. aiassUla, riy- tnouth." Underneath was written "Passen ger to Sydney." T t also know that two months after leav ing England Carew married Alleen O'Mal ley In the little tin church ot Tlbberma. He has been living with her aomewbere under the Southern Cross ever since. I do not say that ths men at my club are not light In what they ssy about him, but they might as well know ths whole story.

For sal by Kuhn A Co, HARRIMAN ANDKEENE ROW Way tha RsaifSi la that athra Pa cific) Cams) la Carrie aa la Keataeky. Ths contest between the Keen, and the Harrlman Interests over the control of the Southern Psclflo railroad and th. filing by the former on March 12, at Louisville, Ky., of ths bill of complaint and application tor an Injunction, brings Into prominence the fact that though not owning a foot of prop erty In Kentucky, th. Southera Pacific company still has its legal home In the state which gave It corporate existence. Out to the south of Louisville near Jacob park lies ths little suburb of Beechmont, a place of soma 200 Inhabitants, and there, in the residence of J. B. Weaver, assistant secretary of the ' Southern Psclflo com pany, Is tha headquarter, ot on. Of th. greatest railroad corporations In ths country. Mr. Weaver's house Is a plesssnt snd substantial frame structure, surrounded with trees, and located near th. line ot the Louisville Railway company, which runs a car every half hour to Beechmont. One would hardly think to aee the place that behind It waa a background of finance and business which means $200,- 000,000 of capital, steamship lines on both oceans, t.Ols mllis of track with 1,200 loco motives, 1,800 passenger cars and 28,000 freight cars. Tet tha pleasant, quiet Weaver home In Beechmont ia the head and front ot every legal transaction or fight In which the great corporation engages snd standa for more money. In law, than any other building in th. stats of Kentucky. When the Southern Psclflo railroad ob tained Its charter In Kentucky It estab lished nominal offices In Louisville. The assistant secretary ot those days waa Mr. D. S. Kreba. at that tlm. auditor of the Chesapeske, Ohio ft Southwestern. Hla offices were at Seventh street snd the river, and there hung an ostentatious Southern Pacific sign. After ths Illinois Central road purchased the Chesapeake, Ohio ft Southwestern road, about five years sgo, J. B. Wesver, treasurer ot the latter road, became the assistant secretory ot the Southern Psclflo and at once transferred the hesdquarters to Beechmont, his placs of reeldenre. Mr. Wesver Is an attoraey of Louisville, but keeps ths business of tha Southern Psclflo entirety separated in loca tlon from hla practice of law. Whether or no' hla railroad bualness at times seems to his neighbors to bs of a nominal type, he Is a neceselty, snd no better demon stration ot this tact can be had than the events uf the past month, when the grest railroad cams home to have us wrongs righted. Kentucky bees me the headquarters ot the Southern Pacific railroad In 1884. The leg lalature granted a charter on March 14 ot that year. The late C. P. Huntington waa the practical owner of all the roada, which, combined, formed the Southern Pacific ays. tern. At that time, says the Courier-Journal, great corporations ot all kinds came to ! Kentucky for tbelr charters. Just ss they now go to New Jersey or to Delaware. Kentucky legislatures had gained ths repu tation of giving the corporations every thing that waa aaked for. Huntington at that time owned the Chesapeake ft Ohio aad Ua .14 Chesapeake, Obi A Seuta- v-estern, and wss a power In the politics of not only Kentucky, but. other ststes. Therefore when his representatives asked for a charter for a great railroad system, not one mile ot which ran tbrourh the state, the request was freely grsnted. It took less than one month's work on the part of the late Henry McHcnry of Hartford to engineer the charter through th. legislature. Mr. McHenry was assisted In the work of securing the charter by Colonel Tbomaa Bullitt of Louisville. Ac cording to Colonel Bullitt, the task of se curing the charter was not a difficult one, for, he says, "Huntington got anything he wanted from the legislature In those days." At the time the charter waa granted It was given out that It waa desired to unify a number of smaller systems be tween New Orleans and Portland, Ore. To his friends Huntington said that It waa the first step toward tbs completion of a vast transcontinental railroad from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The Chesapeake and Ohio was to be used from Newport News to Louisville; the Chesapeake and Ohio Southwestern and smaller lines con trolled by Huntington were to run the line to New Orleans. Prom there on the South ern Pactflo systom was to be used to the western coast. The death of Huntington prevented the carrying out ot this plan, and ths system which he had labored all hla life to bring together tell apart in a tew months. FINE STABLES OF THE WEALTHY Every Convenience aad Comfort Pro vided for the Horses of New York's Aristocracy. A glimpse Into th. Interior of on. of th. many handsome buildings In New York set spart for lodging and feeding horaes would delight all lovers of the Intelligent equine. The total cost of atablea which embody up-to-date scientific fittings, sani tary flooring, perfect ventilation, and cor rect style, varies from 250,000 to 2150,000. Instead of wooden flooring or earth, which 1. very lnjurloua to the animals' feet, small bricks are' now used, making a standing place that la easily cleaned, and Insures perfect sanitation. The stalls are massive and handsome, the aides being of tenkwood with a two-Inch dado; the wood extends upwsrd about four feet, or aa high as a horse might bo expected to kick under ordinary circumstance. The oat and water mangers are on opposite sides which Is sn sdvantage, aa the animal doea nqt slop bis dry food; the bay ia put in a divlaion ot the manger with a wire screen over It, ao that It can be got at easily, while undue waate does not result, ss in the daya when It waa placed in a rack over the horse's head. where It could be pulled down snd trodden under foot. The doors of the stall are fitted with In genious devices w'blch necessitate the In sertion ef th. finger and ahumh to open, and the tricky horse is thus debarred from opening the door and going for a stroll without aa much as "by your leave." There Is a profusion of racka, with burnished brass fittings, for Interchangeable name letters, brooms, shovels and forks, and tel escopic suspensory racks to hold harness at any desirable height for cleaning pur poses. There are also adjustable harness cleaning tables with drawers to hold pol ish, chamois, and everything needed to keep things bright and shining. The New York millionaire takes as much pride In bis stable as in any of the prin cipal rooms In his own dwelling house. When sny new specialty it put on ths mar ket whereby the stable can be Improved or made more ornate he hastens to test Us adequacy. He is as particular about hir ing a stable groom as he would be In en gaging a secretary, and the men he picks out to car. for his antmala must be dili gent, untiring, progressive, and Intelligent. There are at least fifty stables between West Flfty-elgth and One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street which are marvels of comfort and convenience. On entering any of these the visitor la struck by the neat ness, order and even elegance which per vade the place. Plenty of light, fresh air with no trace of the fumes usually asso ciated with stables, lofty ceilings, and ani mals whoas coats shine with satiny lustr. are found In profusion. ' In a magnificent stable on West Fifty eight street th. equipment and modern accessories ar. almost bewildering In their variety. Ths brick floor Is as clean and sweet aa water and brush could make It, and on. can readily believe that the groom who says he could eat his breskfast off It la not exaggerating. Polished brass, mar bis, and carved wood make It beautiful, and lta lofty, spacious appearance movsd a llttls boy visitor who lives In a Harlem flat to say wlstfullyi "I wish I was a horse, 'cause then I could stay Iter, always."
