Now what's the use of it? When
couple get married aud go off on bridal
tour who so misbehave themselves as to
be spotted" by every man, woman and
child on the train for fresh fish ?" How
silly the thing must appear to them when
they look back after period OF six
months Are we fools when in love,
aud are we idiots when we marry?
The couple have in mind had a seat
in the middle of the car. She was his'n
and he was her'n. All the tomfoolery of
courtship days was over. The preacher
had made them one, and her father
would no longer set the dog on him or
place torpedoes around the gate. She
didn't show the least disposition to jump
out of the car window, but all of sudden
he grabbed her by the paw. She grabbed
back. Then he leaned over at an angle
OF 45 degrees, and she fell toward him.
1t was very uncomfortable position, bnt
they maintained it with scarcely any
change Tor hours. Her hat got skewed
around almost hindside before, but she
would not release her clutch for fear he'd
90 through the roof His collar wilted
and his necktis worked around under uis
ear, but il he let 90 of her paw she'd
think he was mad.
Darling Y said he in bullfrog whis-
per, doesn't it seem funny ?"
II can't realize it. !" she answered, as
she raked one Of her back harpins across
his nose.
''All mine?"
eyes lovey."
"Never get mad!"
Never, sweety."
The man on the seat behind them fold
cd up the paper, picked up his grip and
changed to seat across the aisle. As
he sat down motherly- looking woman
inquired: "a
''Are they married I"
II think so. madam"
'"And can nothing be done to stop it :"
H"I think not"
For two or three minutes the newly
welded were silent:
Darling /" she suddenly sighed.
''What is it, my angel ?"
Darling !"
"What is itg If any base hyena has
dared to cause you moments unhapp-
ness I'll murder him Point out the ami
malp'
1T isn't that"
Then what?'
"Tm-I'm afraid you'll be--be mad"
.No, won't. How could l be mad at
you What is it, DolIy?"
"Why, wish you'd wipe the sweat
out OF that left ear. Now, you love me
just the same, don't your"
''Of course.
''Aud you amt mad ?"
"Why no. There, now--who cares
who's looking. It's nobody's business
anyhow"
There was another interval of silence,
during, which she tried to remember
whether they were engaged the week be-
fore her father gave Henry the boot, or
whether it was the next Sunday after.
"Henwy?"
"What. angel"
'.Are we weally married =
eyes, love" ss.ees no
"Ana you love me!'
with all my heart.
"And you amt mad I"
mo, dearest.
"Then I'm so happy. Henry, squeeze
my hand" :,
ale souoze. We held an indignation
meeting aud appointed commit'ee 70
see if something could not be done; ous
he sqnoze the harder.
Three or four women got together ana
passed a resolution to the effect that II
railroad company could not protect It's
passeu gers the legislature should be ap-
pealed to, but that couple had death
grip on each other and wouldn't let 60. !.
The bapgageman came in when sent
for, bat he said he was helpless. he
knew Just how we must feel, but the
road wasn't to blame. The conductor
came back to the car, aud asked us NOT
to lay it up against him. He was poo,
man. had been out of job several
months, and this was his first ran.
Well. the long and short OF the matter
