Now, what's the use of it, When couple get
married and go off on a bridal tour. why so mis-
behave themselves as to be spotted by every
man, woman and child on the train for fresh
ish"g How silly the thing must appear to them
whom they look back after a period of six
monthsl Are we fools when in love- and are We
idiots when we marry2
The couple have in mind had seat In the
middle of the car. She was his'n, and he was
hers. 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,
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 45o, and she fell to-
ward him. 1t was very uncomfortable posi-
ton. but they maintained it with scarcely any
change for hours. Her hat got skewed around
almost hlndside before. but she would not re-
lease her clutch for fear he'd go through the
roof His collar wilted and his necktie worked
aroand under his ear. but If he let 60 of her
paw she'd think ne was mad.
"Darlingp' said he's in a bulIfrog whisper,
doesn't it seem funnyP
II can't realize it" she answered as she raked
one of her back hairpins across his nose
"All mine2"
eyes, lovey,"
"Never get madW
"Never, sweety.D
The man on the seat behind them folded up
the paper, picked up his grip, and changed to a
seat across the aisle AS he sat down moth
erly looking woman inquired;
"Are they marriedP
II think so. madam"
.And can nothing be done to stop itl'
II think not"
For two or three minutes the newly welded
were silent.
"Darlingl" she suddenly sighed.
What is it, my angelo
"Darling"
''What is it2 If any base hyena has dared to
cause you moments unhappiness, I'll murder
him! Point out the ANIMAL"
sit isn't that"
''Then whatl"
'1'm-Im afraid you'll be-be mad"
'No, / won't How could I be mad at you?
What is it, DollyP
why, wish you'd wipe the sweat out of that
left ear. Now, you love me just the same, don't
your
''Of course"
land you amt madq'
why, no. There, now-who cares who's
looking9 It's nobody's business, anyhow"
There was another interval of silence, during
engaged the week beforo her father gave Henry
the boot or whether it was the next Sunday
after.
'Henwyg

eyes, love-"
"And you love me?"
with all my heart"
"And you amt madf'
mo. dearest"
"Then I'm SO happyi Henry. squeeze my
hand"
He squoze. We held an indignation meeting
and appointed a committee to see il Something
could not be done; but he squoze the harder.
Three or four women got together and passed
a resolution to the effect that if railroad com
pany cotad not protect it's passengers the Legis-
lature should be appealed TO, but that couple
had death grip on each other and wouldn't let
GO
The baggage man came In when sent for, but
he said he was helpless. He knew just how we
must feel, bat the road wasn't to blame. The
conductor came back to the car and asked us not
to lay IL up against him. He was poor man,
and had been out of job several months, and
this was his first run.
Well, the long and short of the matter was
that eighteen or twenty of US rode $50 miles with
that panorama, but such thing will never hap
pen again--never! We shook hands on that,
and agreed we'd walk first.
