During a recent stay m Vienna, ft£. ■ Theodore de Wabjf.ff, direotor of the ® Siberian Railway, [. THE SIBERIAN gave some highly RAILWAY. interesting particu- lars of the present ! condition and future prospects of that ' enterprise to ft representative of the • Neves Wiener Journal, M. de Walu- jtfT, who expressed the opinion that the J. line would be largely used by foreigner^ i said that on its completion, m 1904, it - would be possible for a traveller to gd ' round the world m3O day?. i>y thafe I time, m spite of the enormous difficul- ties which. had to bo overconie, they were confident they could complete th«* line from Cheliabinsk to Vladivostok. The line was already practically com- plete-a9 far as Krasnoyarskoi, on the Yenisei River, a distance of some 2000 versts. A bridge of about 1000 metres m length, which was being built across the Yenisei, was not yet finished. In * the meantime, whole trains with build- ing material and labourers would be carried across the river m summer on two powerful steamers, and m winter the ice was so strong that it was capable of bearing the trains themselvas m safety. On the other side of the Yenisei some 650 versts of the lire were conr.plete, and by the end of August traffic would be opened up to I«kut&k, the largest town m Siberia. In accordance with a uk*se issued by the Emperor Alexander 111,, only Russian materials and native labourers had been employed on the work. With the sole exception of a huge ce-breaker for use on Lake Baikal, not a r ail had been employed on the line which had ! Bot been raanufactuted m Rus>ia. The line would also be utilised for the promotion of colonisation. In August, 200,000 pbasants, with their families, would be transported to Siberia, where each would receive 15 desatines of land. These peasants * ould a'so find employment on the railway, and w u'd be provided with agricultural imple- ments. The line wou'd re» dvr it possible to export the immens- tupi lit a of corn produced m the country, the rates being so fixed as to promote this c? d. Before he left the quantity of com ready for export waseo great that it w ould not be possible to forward it all before the end of August. At pre- sent they could only despatch 250 waggon loads a day, as the Ur«l Rail- way had only a single line of rails. Notwithstanding this circumstance, large quantities ef Siberian corn were even now being exported to Germany nnd Austria. The demand had greatly increased since the outbrenk of the Spanish American war. Referring to the strategic a*pect of the Siberian Railway, M. do Waluj Subserved that Russia's great interests m East Asia made it indispensable for her to have a line whereby she could, m case of need, send large massses of tro.

Guests at Camp Nineteen! ♦ (continued,) ing her •with a flippancy which her worn clothes and battered father would other- wise have incited. Directly across ihe table was Jack High at elhpws with a : black whiskered foreman or contractor named Aleck Wiams, whose part m the expedition was to provide workmen and conveyances for transporting and plant- ing the telegraph poles. Jack was loquacious and Wiams was reticent; so they were paired happily for supper conversation, because nearly all the speech was by one and the listening almost wholly by the other. From fur- ther down the long table, even from, where the merest manual laborers sat At the other end, came glances of curios- ity and the sounds of uncommon vivac- ity, all caused by the tattered girl,, to whom Will Brown could not have been more deferential if her gown had been silk. The eating was unprecedentedly hearty, m consequence of the zest im- parted to the general appetite, and it was twilight by the time the table was quitted. Almost immediately a full, un- clouded moon began to illumine the camp, and a breeze so faint as to hardly make the long shadows of the foliage waver m the grass earned away the heat which the sun had left behind. There was no chair m Camp Nineteen. But Will Brown politely conducted Deuce Low to a spot of grassy uphol- stery at the foot of a tree, where she might sit with her back comfortably against, the smooth bark. The moon beautified the face into which it shone. The sunburnt skin became alabaster, the hair showed its brown tints glossily, and the eyes glistened with reflected light. Whatever she thought of these advantages, or of the still more potent one of being the only girl her compan- ion had seen m weeks, the consciousness g was not divulged m her resting, careless attitude, nor m her childishly unalert manner. Will stretched himself on the grass before her, and by chance or choice '1 he lay m the shadow of the tree's trunk. 1 He fancied that from his comparative C obscurity he could gratify his admira- ~ tion of the illumined face without break- * ing etiquette's law against staring. They talked trivially of their immediate sur- roundings, then about each other a little and at length Will said: " j "By what name may I call you?" s "By what name may 1 call you?" "Oh, Deuce Low," she lightly replied. 6 "That's an insulting sort of nickname," C he protested. ~ "I don't think so," she answered. "Ii my tall dad was to be called Jack High j wasn't it well enough to name his short . daughter Deuce Low? I haven't always - found so much consideration as that since we started from Omaha for Okla- I homa." "And what makes you go to Oklaho- ma?" r "Well, we're alone m the world — dad j and I; and we're rovers — yes, adventur- ers. Dad thinks we may prosper m the j new territory. I've a voice to sing with, and feet to dance with" \ "And a face to bewitch with." I Instantly the glistening m the girl's eyes increased, as there was the sudden fc moisture of tears to reflect the moon- Bhine, and she was silent. The young man had spoken so honestly that he did 2 not perceive how his blunt compliment had pained her. He went on: "Your j father— while you're singing and danc- ing m some Oklahoma concert hall— s what will he be doing for an income?" \ She was resentful. Should he not ' have already found out by her improved language and her decorous manner to- , ward him that she was by education and experience better than the condition of wayfaring m which she had come to j . Camp Nineteen? Yet he could mention i her pretty face as directly as though she ■ had already reached Oklahoma and they { were chance acquaintances across a ,> table m a concert hall. Her desire to ; impress him favorably was gone, and . without a waver of gaze or voice she shortly answered: "My dad's a gambler, j and he's down on his Juck. If he's to play j for grubstakes he'll do three-card-monte c m the streets till I get an engagement. 1 If he strikes it rich enough he T ll deal < faro m a den of his own." "And you?" Will exclaimed, shocked I by what she had said and her way of ] saying it, but with no idea that she had < spoken otherwise ttian heedlessly; "what < does he intend to do with you?" { "Didn't you yourself say I had a face J to bewitch with?" and she held her visage gjgllforhiin to examine. "Oh, Dad 'll do very w.eU within© m Oklahoma." Meanwhile that reprehensible fathej was seated with Aleck Wiams teiirods distant. A flat etone was between them, and on its smooth surface were the carda and cash of a game of poker. The moon made light enough for the players, and they were engaged so earnestly that no Other talk than the play required was indulged m. When they spoke it was m very low voices, too, and it was mani- fest that they did not care to be dis- covered. Neither man could have told, if he had tried to, exactly how the game had been brought about, nor could either have recalled anything m his own case but eagerness for it. Jack High had airily remarked at the beginning, as he drew his only dollar from .a vest pocket, "There's plenty where that oaine from," and so there was if he meant the government mint; but Wiamg did not demand an insight of the pocket, Mjd so. the first bluff m this game oj *~* (To bo continued,)
