Every seat in the North State street car
was taken, and four or five persons were
standing. One of the latter was young
woman, who stood near the middle of the
car. A tall young man, rather too slim for
his height from an athletic point of view
rose from his seat near the rear door and
stepped forward to inform the young wo
man, who was looking the other way, that
there was a seat for her. As he did SO a man
dropped into it.
81 beg your pardon" said the young man.
81 didn't get up to give you a seat"
"But got it, said the man.
81 intended it for the lady" said the young
fellow.
"But got it," retorted the other with a
sneer.
He was the bigger man, but the young fel.
lows hands descended on his shoulders and
he was on his feet and on the platform be-
fore he knew it,
"Conductorl conductori' he cried, but the
conductor had far away look in his eyes
and was interested in something going on
down the street. The man was in the street
before he had time to call out again.
The hero-for he was hero in the eyes of
all the passengers by this time-re-entered
the car, and, lifting his hat, politely said:
Madame, there's seat for you"
And the passengers were so tickled that
they actually began to clap their hands. The
young man simply smiled and said:
college athletics are of some value now
and then"
Then he leaned up against the front door
and became absorbed in a paper while the
young woman watched him admiringly.-
