The Naughty Little Girl on the Train
Hadn't q Friend.
From The Chicago Herald.

From the Chicago Herald.
She was just little girl. and her mother
sat down in a seat near the door of the car.
and put her parcels around where they
would lie without falling, and then loosened
the strings on her bonnet.
II don't want my bonnet off, said the
little girl, and all the passea gers heard her.
They had not yet left the depot ia the
great city, and most OF the people had chill
dren OF their own at home, so they did not
mind her.
II want drink Of water" said the little
girl moment later. The people could hear
her mother saying something in low tone,
and they all knew the water tank was at
the further end of the car, but that didn't
make any difference. az want a drink of
water" repeated the little girl, growing
louder and louder each time, till her mother
got up and led her down the long aisle, past
people who were just disposing their lug
gage, crowdlng around other people who
were just disposing themselves, and 50 on
to The tank. Whsn they came back a young
man had taken their seat and the mother
had to move up little way.
why don't he let US sit there2" demanded
the little girl, with an accent on the re ative
pronoun which became a general arraign-
ment of the cuiprit.
II doa't want to look out of the window.
she continued. There isn't anything to
see. Why don't the train go on!'
Her tones were 50 shril anl penetrating
that no one could forges her even for mo-
mont.
There is man with apples. 1 want an
apple"
They could hear the mother talking again
IN that same soft tone, but the little girl was
relentless, Il want some of his apples
She was so persistent about it that the
mother bought basket of fruit of the sta
tion boy who passed through tbs train Just
before it started, and sold at a crushing
price whatever he had to Offer
THE LITTLE DEAR WAS TIRED, THAT'S ALL.
When the train was under way they
hoped they had heard the last of her; but
all of sudden she declared her intention
OF sitting on the other side of the car.
There was no vacant Sc It there, but that
made no difference and she kept up the
complaining till q young man got up and
went forward, giving her the vacant seat
aud wishing she might fall out of the win
dow.
But even this surrender did not satisfy
her long. She wanted the blind down and
tae curtain up; she wanted her mother to
buy book when the train fiend came
around; she wanted more fruit from tae
basket, and she wanted another drink. She
was so constant that every one il the car
n6Ueu the very SOUND OF her voice, and said:
"Drat the young one. any way When she
went up for third drink of water she
stumbled and fell. 1t couldn't have hurt
her much, but she scresmed and cried, and
got up cropping her way back to the seat
her yellow hair tangled and her face ali
smeared with orange juice, and candy and
dust, her clothing rumpled and her pinafore
soiled, and her mouth wide open under the
streaming eyes.
And she hadn't friend in the car
But after that she went to sleep. The
| nervous woman at the front of the car
gasped her relief. and the heavy man who
had two seats grunted HE satisfaction and
glared around as if words were useless in
the face of such freedom from ANNOYANCE.
The young man who sat by the young
woman In the middle Of the car said "ThanS

wake up. Aad the poor tired mother
srnoothed the pillow and sat in the httlest
bit Of the end Of the seat. and tucked the
cloak about her darling, and kept very still
lest abe should be disturbed.
AWAKENED HERSHEY AND LOVE TO-
GETHER.
It was nearly two hours after when she
walked up, AT first no one knew her sleep
