20 QUIRINA THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, APRIL 14, 1894-TWENTY PAGES. Two apartments hold thos. «< Queen Mar- garita. A groom, wearing a Scotch cap, who shows visitors through the stables, says that nearly all of the queen's horses are of English breed. Four of them are kept solely for night service. They are ex- ceedingly gentle, and carry her majesty safely back and forth to the theater and opera. The groom pats his charges affec- tionately as he passes. In a doorway are the charts and lists of servants for the day. Everything runs by clock-work. There are several box stalls for the favorite horses of the king and queen, which are used for phaetons or for riding. Another section con- tains horses for the use of the Prince of Na- ples,the Dukes of Turin and Aosta,when they are in Rome, and still another room holds those animals, all of them of Italian pedi- gree, which are driven by the ladies and at- tendants at the palace. In the carriage house are sixty-four ve- hicles of different styles. Seven of them are for state occasions, for royal guests, the opening of parliament or royal funerals. Four are used by King Humbert, and are gorgeously draped in scarlet and gold. The other three the queen rides in, and her col- ors are blue and red, trimmed with silver. They are all lined with white satin, and are hung by straps, and are very comfortable, having no springs at all. Several barouches are kept purposely for the king and queen, as well as dog carts, phaetons and a num- ber of ordinary carriages. The harness room holds fully a hundred very handsome sets of harness, elaborately mounted with gold and silver, and ornamented with the royal eagle. The Heir Apparent. King Humbert is a fine-looking man, with a soldierly bearing. He rarely drives with the queen, except on state occasions, but may be seen almost every pleasant day, in a plain carrlage, with coachman and foot- man dressed in dark livery, with silver trimmings. He does not give a military sa- lute, as does the Emperor of Germany,whén driving, but lifts his hat, carrying it quite far to one side. He is usually attired in eivilian’s dress.

The State Dining Room. At the end of the long suite is the state dining room, rich in goid and crystal. The long table seats a hundred guests, and in its enter, opposite each other, are the chairs for the king and queen. The sideboards in the state dining room are literally boards between the broad windows, covered with crimson cloth and decorated with gilt. An elevated gallery is provided for musicians, as most of the court balis are given in this or four balls are given by sties in the course of the year, and, as the ball room is not large enough, the guests dance in the dining room and turn the ball room into a buffet. Next to the state banqueting hall is the private dining room of the family. ‘The kitchens are in the basement, and the food is brought up in elevator: ‘The throne room, where the king holds audiences, and the room wher2 he receives bassaders, are furnished in the regula- tion style, and in them are portraits, life size, of Emperor William I of Germany, Victor Emmanuel I, and King Humbert, as he is today. In another salon hangs a beautiful painting of Queen Macvgarita, as she looked when she ascended the throne. Queen Margarita is a lovely woman,golden- blue-eyed, medium height, she looks every inch the queen.

While dancing with the young princess, then only seventeen years old, he caught his spur in her tress, tear- ing out a large piece of the satin. Calling for scissors, he knelt down on the waxed floor, and carefully cut off the piece, that it should not trip her royal highness. The Italian newspapers made much of the in- cident, say ng that it typified “strength at the feet of beauty.” The Emperor Fred- erick was a profound admirer of Margarita, and she was godmother to one of his daugh- Visits have frequently been e: { between the royal families of Italy at er complished cousin to share his future throne, as had his father before him, and will probably have to go out of the kingdom to get a bride. When the prince first went to Naples he was invited to a lawn-tennis party and ap- peared in full uniform, with spurs, to the great disgust of the ladies who were chos- en to play with him. They deputed one of their number to remonstrate with his royal highness, and the next time he left the spurs at home. Taken as a whole, the royal family is very popular, but in the present state of unrest in Italy they cannot help feeling a littie anxiety as to the future.

A patient was to be transferred from the operating room, at the top of the building, to one of the wards on a lower floor. The stretcher was placed on the car used for the purpose and taken to the elevator by the two men who usually performed this duty. One of them opened the door, and then turned and helped uls companion to push the stretcher, with the helpless patient on it, into the empty shaft, where he met his death—by falling to the bottom of the building. “The carclessness which caused this accid nt," concluded the doctor, “was no less inan criminal. Both men insisted positively that they had seen the elevator in the shart, but of course they shoved poor of without even look- ing.” “You are wrong, doctor,” said Mr. Argen- tine, who had been an interested listener to the doctor’s narration. “Although I never saw the men and know nothing of them, 1 am ready to sWear that they saw that elevator. Its ghost was there. This startling announcement calls for an expla- nation,” continued Mr, Argentine, “and if you would like to hear it, I will tell you a story bearing on the subject.” There was a murmur of encouragement from the guests, and drawing his cigar to a@ fresh light, the narrator began: I am, as you all knew, a mining engineer; and in my life under ground I have seen and heard many queer things; and one of them is the fact that elevators have ghosts. In most mines, where vertical shafts are used, the cage, or skip, 1s constructed just like an ordinary freight elevator. The mines are worked from a series of tunncls or levels, one above the other, which run in both directions from the shaft, 1 the hallways of a house. The ore is brought to the shaft in tron buckets, holding a couple of tons, which are transported on flat cars by “tram men,” or “muckers” as we call them. The car tracks run to the edge of the shaft on both sides, and on the plat- form of the “cage” there is a section of track so arranged as to be continuous with that of the “level.” In this way a be pushed upon the “cage and hoisted, or run across the shaft and out on the track at the other side. In early days it was customary to give the “mucker” no othe light than the lamp which, like all miners he wore in his hat; but the men were for- ever thinking’ they saw the cage in posi- tion, and running their cars off into the shaft, where gravity made a disposition cf them not altogether to the liking of (heir owners.

I went calling I found that cne name sure to come up in the course of convers: tion, and although aiw: way that left no doubt been a welcome guest, I never met the owner of the name. It was always one of the ladies who asked the news of Arthur Cinnabar, and whoever the gentleman of whom she asked he was sure to have seen Arthur within a day or two and to say something about his work. The thing rather mystified me. Who was this man? If he is so well known and near at hand that the gentlemen saw him so often why did I never meet him? And since he was evidently a friend of all of them, why did he never call on any of the ladies, who secmed to take so flatter- ing an_inter in his fortune and his work? Moreover, why were they so par- ticular to speak of him “Arthur and never simply as Mr. Cinnabar? My idle curiosity on the subject was fanned by every mention of the man, and grew with every day that failed to bring him forth. One evening, by a stroke of unusual good fortune, I found the belle of the town without her usual circle of admirers, and, in great peace of mind, I seated myself to enjoy my first tete-a-tete with her. After the usual greeting had passed almost her first words were, “How is Arthur Cinna- bar I replied that I had never met Mr. Cinnabar, and could not give her any in- formation. “Oh, yes,” said she, “you came since—" then suddenly checking herself she branched off on another subject in a way that made it very apparent that I was not to be further enlightened.

Was this fellow who sneaked and suiked in some corner to win every girl in the place and even to rival me in the affections of my best friends? “Well,” said I, “he must be worth meeting. When am I to have the pleasure?” “I don't know,” replied he. “We have been talking it over together and all the boys think you ought to know him, but, of course, we will have to get his permis- sion before we can take you up. I will go tonight and ask him.” That evening 1 remained at the mine writing letters and working over the maps until quite late, and was just closing up the office when my friend came in and said: “Old man, bring your pipe and come out and walk in the moonlight, I have some- thing to tell you.” I followed him out onto the path that ran.from the offices to the machine shop. The moon was bright as day and under its soft light the scene was inexpressibly begutiful. On the hill slope below stood the machine shops and shaft houses looming dark in shadow, then came the waste of valley, the pale gray of the sage brush looking misty and unreal, and ir We Had Seen the Cage. the far distant mountains, capped with snow and skirted by the black pine forest, seemed almost to be floating above a mist-envel- oped lake. We seated ourselves on a pro jecting boulder, and I heard the story of Arthur Cinnabar, Two brothers had come to the town, about three years before my advent, as officers cf the mine at which I was now working. The elder, Charles, had been a great social light and had immediately assumed the position of a Beau Brummel, His friendship was prized as an honor, and no hostess whose invitations he did not accept felt her posi tion quite assured. Arthur, on the other hand, was a jolly, good-iempered, hoyis?: young fellow, a general favorite in every circle, but quite eclipsed by the radia: ot the brighter planet. He joked about “King Charles," as he called him, but in secret was immensely proud of the triumphs and standing of the brother whom he almost + arles was engineer of the mine, and Arthur, who had just gradaated from Harvard, was the secretary.

He would enter a neighboring dance hall, wait till the men followed, slip out, run to Keno's, out again, by the back door, get his horse and,revolver in hand, make a dash for the mines, With as careless and convivial an air as he could muster, he walked into Indian Bell's and, slipping behird a brawny la- borer near the door, waited for results. Sure enough, in came two of his pursuers and stood looking for him in the crowd. A half-clad girl on the stage was singing a popular song and the audience joined in the chorus with much stamping of feet and clinking of glasses. Aided by the noise and confusion he slipped out, almost run- ning into the third villain, who had been lett on guard, and crossed the street at thé top of his speed. The watcher uttered a shrill whistle, which Arthur hoped was drowned by the noise of the roisterers, and followed without the least attempt at con- cealment, In Keno's huge bar room were several card tables and two roulette wheel: around which was seated a group of pla: ers, and back of them stood a pack of in-| | terested spectators, | As Arthur elbowed his way through them, jhe heard the “roller” in the keno room | call a number. “Twelve!” said the voice.

It was Charlie. | The fact that Charlie was gambling and was not quite hin.self did not impress Arthur. It was enough that he had found the big brother whom he had always look- ed upon as a being of a superior race, and was to have his help in guarding the treas- ure, the loss of which would have meant his dishonor. He told his story in a whis- per, and being now relieved of the nervous strain of his fear, was surprised to see how terribly the news seemed to excite his listener, The men, as soon as they had witnessed the meeting, had slunk away and the two brothers reached the stable un- molested. Here Charlie severely lectured Arthur on the danger he had incurred and | insisted on taking the money belt himself. Only too glad to be rid of the cause of his | anxiety, the younger brother made the | change, and the two, pistol in hand, rode rapidly to the mine. When they reached the mine stable the man on watch handed Charlie a note. It was from the under- ground foreman, asking directions for rome work in the neighboring mine; and Charlie said he must go at once to the captain of the night shift, which was then at work on the second level. The two walked to the | shaf: house together, and Arthur, who had on his working clothes, provided his brother with a bit of candle which he found in his ggg and exchanged coats and hats with im. “The candle is rather short, Charlie,” sali Arthur. “Oh, I guess it will last,” replied Charlie. “Wait here till I come up.” ‘These were the last words exchanged between the brothers.

A fruitless search was kept up till day- light, although as soon as the story of the money belt was known no one but Arthur expected to find the missing man. The mine had a water tunnel opening on the mountain side and communicated with several abandoned workings, all of which had exits, and it would have been an easy thing for Charles, who knew every inch of the workings, to have walked off with the snug little fortune in his belt. It was found that he had been gambling for a long time and losing heavily, and that not only had he dissipated his fortune, which had been considerable, but that he had incurred heavy debts among his friends. This latter circumstance Arthur never knew. The owner and manager of the mine, a pig-headed Dutchman, was the only person Who suspected Arthur of complicity in his brother's crime, and he at once dismissed him, The two boys were orphans and each had inherited a considerable sum of money. Arthur at once came forwa h his entire prop- erty and paid it to the mine, at the same time offering te work for his board and let his salary be withheld until he had made up the full amount, of which some hun- dreds of dollars were still lacking. He was refused any position in the office and then offered himself as a common laborer to the underground foreman. He had now been at work for nearly a year, holding drills for the hammer men, shoveling rock and pushing the cars. Every month he reserved barely enough out of his ages for necessary expenses; all the rest he pail back to his employer, and at the time of which I write had aimost completed his self-imposed task of restitution. The pathos of his faith in Charles was touching. Al the damaging facts in his brother's lat- | ter history were surprises to him, but aid | not in the least degree serve to convince him that the populat theory was the correct one, Often he had been urged to leave his | mental position and take a situation im the | office of another mine, but his answer was | ways this: “Charlie told me to wait here | | | ‘The Figure of a M: tN he came back, and I must stay.” At} first Arthur had shunned all society, but | the men soon made him understand that they believed in him, and made a weak pre- tense of faith in the lost king, and by this means won him back from’ his gloomy broodings over his brother’s fate and the cloud of dishonor that shadowed his name. First, out of charity, and afterward, out of pure enjoyment of his society, the men made the oid log cabin where he lived a rendeavous, and no fair and gentle maiden in the town was the object of as much at- tention, nor half as much genuine, hearty admiration, as the brave boy fighting so nobly for his honor. With these friends he | forgot his luck of life and was his own hap- | py self again, but of women he had a mor- bid dread. “When a man’s down they're |not ike men, you know,” was all he ever ‘said of them, and, perhaps, all he ever (thought. I was the first stranger whom he | had consented to meet, and before he would }let Louis bring me, he had manfully insisted that he should tell me the whole story. The evening after hearing this history was taken to the cabin and duly ‘installed | as a member In good standing of the frater- | nity who frequented the place. Arthur met me without the least embarrassment and | played the host with a manly heartiness that enlisted me at once as his friend. He | was a splendid specimen of the college athlete, tall and handsome as an Apollo, end | | through his coarse laborer’s clothing the | gentleman showed as clearly as in amy of his trig and dapper guests, clad as they were in the height of fashion. There were | two chairs, a table and two rough beds if} the one room which the cabin boasted, ard | as these were entirely inadequate to the number of guests who gathered there, the furniture had been eked out by the addition of a dozen soap boxes. I had expected to find Arthur a sad-eyed, broken-spirited wreck and to see his friends gathered in stiff and mournful sympathy about him; and | the merry gathering and ‘he jolly evening we passed were a great surprise to me. At intervals a twinge of inward pain would dull the twinkle of his eye and sober the merry frankness of the handsome face, cn which a look of strained expectation would settle, for an instant, if the sound of horse’s hoofs was heard on the road. Save for these slight and momentary changes, he was the merriest of us all, and one would have be- Neved his life had been one long and careless holiday. I was charmed with my visit and my host, and from that time forward let | scarcely a night pass without spending a | | few minutes with him. | Several weeks went by and we were near- | ing the Christmas holidays. The next pay- Arthur completely to j | | | ' | | | | | ] | ™y most intimate friend aside and abruptly ‘it opened and he was confronted by the| ment would |Cleveland possesses a souvenir of He refund the missing money, and we had arranged to give a grand ‘celebration the cabin in honor of the event. On the day of the intended fete it happened that Louis and 1 were both at work in tie Moyer mine. We were sinking the shaft and at the same time “stoping ore” out of the second level. where Charles had held his last intercourse with living men. It was in the level that my work lay (I had taken Charles’ place of engineer), and I stepped off the ladders I found Art Who was “tramming” the ore, on his knees beside the shaft brushing the edge with his hands. “What are you doing, Arthur ’’ said I. “Louis and twelve men are at work in the bottom of the shaft 600 feet below,” replied he, “and I am clearing the stones away from the edge, for fear some one should kick one down. Even a pebble fall- ing that far would be a serious thing.” I went on to my work, and in about an hour returned to the shaft to go up. There stood the cage waiting, and I was just about to step aboard when I heard the rumble of the car coming, and waited to be hoisted with it. As he neared the shaft Arthur hung back to check the car, glanced over the top, but seeing the “cage” in po- sition, and that all was right, put his shoul- der to the ponderous machine. Had my hands been empty I would have helped him, but I had the transit. With a dull | rumble the car moved over the few remain- jing feet of tunnel, then, to our horror, , Slipped in silence through the phantom platform, and shot down the shaft with a |sound like rushing wings. We had “seen the cage!” My first thought was for the men below. Dropping the transit, I sprang to the lad- ders and went down faster than I have ever done before or since. From beneath me rose the echoes of crashing timber and rending iron, and a faint, far-off shout, and from above came Arthur's horrified cry, “I have killed them!” By wonderful good tuck it happened that the party were just In the act of firing a blast when the accident oc- curred and so escaped being crushed be- neath the fearful weight of falling rock ana iron, They tell me that when I found them safe.I laughed and cried like an hysterical girl and hugged and kissed the great beard- ed men in the frenzy of my relief. ‘As soon as we were calm enough to think we went in search of Arthur. He was gone. On a set of timbers near the shaft hung his coat and dinner pail, showing that in his horror at the dreadful accident he had fied, not daring to hear how many he had crush- ed to death in the dark caverns of the lower mine. On the day which was to have seen nis emancipation from the burden under which he had been struggling, and when he was to have thrown off the dark shadow of his brother's guilt and taken once more his rightful place among his fellows, he was wandering like a rabid beast over the moun- tain passes, or among the deserted tunnels, haunted and half crazed by @ horror worse than guilt. A crushed and shuddering mass that had been his friend and the torn and mangled bodies of the laborers whom he had killed were ever before his eyes, and his reason was tottering under this last, un- merited stroke of fate. This we knew, and each one of us vied with every other to find him and be the bearer of the news of the marvelous chance which had saved him from a lifelong nightmare of remorse. We separated into two one to search the mine, and the other to mount and ride out on the trails that wour! up the snow-capped mountains and away across the lonely passes to the wild regions of the valley mining camps. I took charge of the underground party, end after searching every nook and cranny of the new mine, led the men into the deserted workings that opened from it. Nothing can be more ghas' ly than such a place, The walls were cav- ing and crushing the rotting timbers, from which hung long hair-like growths and great balloon-shaped fungi white and moldy, the wood glowed, faintly phosphorescent, and a damp, tomb-like chill pervaded the gutted stopes. Being unfamiliar with the place I had had the maps brought down and with these guides e ferreted out every corner of the loathsome place. Final- there remained only one spot unvisited, a “winze,” or short shaft, which had been sunk from the old level and communicated with a winding tunnel about a hundred feet below, which had no other outlet. The lad- ders had long ago rotted out, so I procured a rope and had the men lower me into the black pit. The moment that my feet touch- ed the bottom I was conscious of a feeling of dread that required all my will power to overcome. AS I looked about me I saw by the dim light of my miner's lamp that T was not alone; close against the wall, di- rectiy beneath the winze, sat the figure of a man. As I approached the light to him I nearly screamed with horror. From un- der the broad tarpaulin hat a skull grinned at me. His coat and hat were such as an engineer would wear, the rest of his gur- ments were a gentlemai full dress, and around his pelvis hung a thickly padded money-belt. In one shriveled hand was @ ball of hardened clay in which @ candle had burned out. Beyond a doubt it was Charles Cinnabar. His licht had gone out before he had reached the shaft on the fatal night, and lost in the darkness he had wandered here and fallen, and bruised and dazed, he had crawled beneath the winze and perish- ea, his cries lost in the blind workings above. Tenderly we carried up the poor remains of the wronged gentleman and laid them to rest in the bleak cemetery beneath the hil. The belt and its contents we and placed in the keeping of the bank. Meanwhile, the other searching party had discovered Arthur and convinced him that his error had caused no loss of life, and at night they brought him back looking aged and broken by the suffering he had been through. We feared the effect of the news of our @iscovery in the mine upon his strained nerves, but knew that he would hear the rumors regarding it that filled the town, and so decided to tell him at once. Charlie's death affected him deeply, but the a = name removed the keen- ness of the rf. A few days later Arthur bade us sood- | bye, and with his recovered fortune left forever the scene which his struggle wtih fate had made intolerable bo him. x . ° . After Mr. Argentine ceased speaking we smoked in silence for a few minutes, and as the guests ore by one quietly withdrew, it was evident that the strange story they had Ustened to and the sincerity of the narrator had roused unusual speculation in their minds.—From the Cosmopolitan —_— ee The Passing of Hector, From the Oneida Union, March 31.
