so in a manner never known to the gen.
uine politician. In fact, they were quite
tender towards each other.
THE THIRD PARTY.
Sitting on the arm of the seat facing De-
'eInber and June, was a rather handsome
i:iin Il some forty years. He was the most
Interested Of all the crowd and would eve
Gu>sie with those soft glances which
seemed to say, 'you little darling, how I'd
like to get hold II YOU"
And Gussie was mashed on him, if signs
mean anything, for she returned his
slanees with the most melting ones, and
now AMI then smile her sweetest on him.
The Peanut" came along and the old
man bought Gussie all the oranges she
wanted; lie took a banana, and after he
had peeled II he whispered something 10
her and they both laughed as ii il was aw-
fnl funny, she putting her hands TO her
lace as II To hide her bushes. The reader
can surmise what he said.
THREE TOGETHER.
Disgusted at the brazen display. the re-
porter did not long gaze upon the couple.
but kept them in mint, feeling certain that
a tirst-ciaSs item would certainly grow on.
OF the matter, as he had been informed
that Gussie was nothing but a common
prostitute who had lett ST Louis for Dem
yer.
The next time the reporter looked in on
them the man VINO had been sitting on the
arm OF the seat had got into the seat With
Gnssie and her first companion, and there
the three we're crowded together in most
loving CO intact.
SHE 81 EEPS.
After the train got this side of Otter
vile, Gu>sie grew sleepy and, of course,
made pillow out of the manly shoulde:
next to her on which TO rest her pretty
little head. And thus the three were
borne into Sedalia.
In the meantime their conduct had be-
come known to manv of the passengers,
and had excited that interest which be-
longs exclusively to a scandal, for such
this evidently was. though the ex- legislator
may not have known the character of his
companion when he sat down by her. BIT
he could not long have remained ignorant
OF il, for she gave herself away" very
soon after, by
PUTTING HER LEG OVER HIS,
so a passenger asserted. Be this true or
not, She was seen by many with her head
on his shoulder
A CHANGE OF FRONT.
From Jefferson City to Sedalia the two
had been riding backward, but when the
latter point was reached change OF front
was made.
The seat they had occupied was at the
front of the coach, on the north side. II

the way the train was going. The ex-leg-
islator and Gussie occupied this seat, while
the Platte county man SGT On the one rum
ming at right angles to this seat.
THEY BILL AND COO.
While the train stood at the Garrison
House depot, the masher from
Platte and Gushing Gussie had rich
time. She would put up her face TO his
face, lean over close, very close, to him,
and act Just like real lovers when the light
is turned way down and the old FOLKS are
in bed
Gussie knew that she had caught a suck
er, and she was playing him for all that be
was worth. He thought he was secure
from prying eyes and detection N his illicit
love-making. But not only did the BAZoo
reporter notice them, MANY others did. and
they were the subject OF much adverse
comment and criticism. That two men.
both past the meridian Of lie, should thus
allow themselves to be ensnared, is one Of
those things which go to prove that fas-
cinating woman can get the best of even
the most staid and settled of men. unless
they grit their teeth and set their faces
like flint against her.
When the train pulled ont the MASKING
trio were having a jolly time and Gu>sie
looked too cute for anything.
She was heard to say to St. Louis de-
tective, as she boarded the train:
Good bye, Des.; you'll never pull me
again"
And that's the kind of darling Gussie
is
