*‘No berths left in the sleeper, sir.”
“But I tell you 1 must have a berth I
can't sit up all night,” and Morris Holmes
shivered at the thought of such a hardship.
“A great many good people do, sir,”
said the conductor,
to sit up to-night.”
“But my man telegraphed for a sec-

“They were all taken then, sir.”
It was strange that at the first moment
that Morris Holmes started out to become
a hero, and learn the seamy side of life, he
should be reduced to actual suffering like
this. If he had been dressed in his usual
fashionable and elegant traveling attire
the conductor would have suspected that
he had unlimited wealth, and would have

Indeed, they are sacred, as the famous
