{, The Price of His aallantr-v.

Once in while man gets caught
in an exceedingly embarrassing situa-
tion and his wits are taxed to the ut
most for graceful way of release from
his dilemma. Last Saturday night q
young man living far out on the west
side attended little party with this
wife. At late hour it was found hat
a young lady present was without an
escort, and the gallant married man
kindly volunteered, with his wife's con-
sent, to take her home. His wife was
to await his return, and he made ready
to 60. But he could not find his over
coat. His host urged him to take his
and 60 saying that in his absence they
would look up the missing garment.
Well he started of gayly and boarded
the car. To his horror he realized that
all the change he had was in the mis-
sing coat and that he had not even a
nickel in his Sunday clothes he wore.
What to do he could not imagine, hut
he finally excused himself to the lady
and went out on the rear platform. To
the conductor, benevolent-looking
person, he unfolded his sad tale, and
then said: my friend, if you will trust
me for these two fares. I'll watch on the
corner for you in the morning and pay
you." The conductor langhingly said
it was all right and the young man was
happy again. He took the young lady
home and then tramped all the way
back after his wife and the missing
coat. Both were found, and the next
morning he waited ON the corner two
hours to pay the kind conductor and re-
ward him with a cigar.-Chicago Her.
