gentleman drew himself up in front Of the
imperous dame, and silently pleaded for
the vacant spot. She famed herself
leisurely, lolled in the seat, and evident
ly thought things very comfortable, az
they were. 'Is that seat occupied, mad
am? ?" Eyes, it is, was the snappish reply
The man walked on. In half an hour
the door opened, and in walked tall,
rough fellow, coarse as a Polar bear His
huge beard was uncombed and stained
with tobacco Juice His clothes were i'll
put on, and smelt Of the stable. He was
ungloved and brawny, and weighed full
two hundred. He ran his eye along the
car, and caught the seat on which our
lady was sitting. He made for it. With
great deliberation he seized bundle, band
box and bag, put them plump into the
lap of the lady, and sat down in the va
can't spot like one who intended to stay.
If looks could have annihilated man,
there would have been a corpse in that
car about that time. The man seemed
very much at home. He whistled; he
spit; he stroked his beard; he threw round
his huge arms, and chuckled inwardly at
the evident rage of the woman. She left
the cars at New Haven, and had hardly
gone before the gentleman who was re-
fused the seat re-appeared. To sOmegen-
tleman who seemed to take great inter
est in the proceedings, he said, Did you
see how that woman treated Inc !" eyes. :
''Did you see how she was come up WITH
eyes" s'Well, that man is a horse
doctor that sat down beside her. He
belongs to Bulls Head. 1 gave him SIC
to ride with that woman as far as she
went" The car roared.
