An hour later the y0akf man, who
also had berth in the sIef - car, en-
tered and was appalled, u 81 bat some
enc was snoring with tra.a aions vie-

BIS beloved should be disturbed BIZ this
rude and wicked snorer. He soon
found that his Indignation was shared
by nearly all the other passengers.
They found it impossible to sleep, and
the language in which they expressed
their views was fOrcible and sometimes
extremely ingenious.
The young man was unwilling TO con-
tent himself with mere words, and, re-
solving that the object of his affections
should know that he was watching over
her slumbers, announced in loud tone
that be would wake the snorer up with
out further delay. Accordingly lac ap-
preached the berth where the wretch
was lying, drew aside the curtain, and,
without trying in the dim light TO per-
ceive the snorer's features, shook him
violently by the shoulder, and, in loud
voice, told him that he ought 10 be
ashamed of himself. The miscreant
made a sleepy and inarticulate reply,
but ceased to snore, and the young man,
feeling that he had accomplished great
work, sought his own berth and COM
posed himself to sleep.
The calm was deceptive. In a few
minutes the snoringrecommenced louder
than ever. Soon a general call was
made by the passengers upon the young
man who had already shown his desire
to protect them. They begged him to
get up and kill the wretch, to throw a
bucket of cold water over him, or at
least 10 drag him out on the floor. Be-
IievIng that bis beloved was awake and
waiting for bis response, he sprang up,
determined to earn her gratitude and the
admiration of the passengers. With
great boldness he caught hold of the
snorer's ankles and abruptly dragged
