upon the face of the lady and con-
tinued TO stare at her with such per-

lady soon became conscious OF the
stare. and was evidently confused and
embarrassed at its continuance 1t is
true that the middle-aged man did not
make any sign or offer any advances
or betray any OF those attempts at ia
miliarity that are practiced by oglers
He simply looked and kept looking
not turning his face away once and
making but brief answers to remarks
by young man who was with him.
Meanwhile the husband OF the lady
had been gradually worked up to a
pitch OF great indignation at the
action of the understandable starer
The lady spoke TO him quietly. and
was evidently DESTROYS of avoiding u
scene. and made little start 10 re-

The husband. however. was now in
furiated. for, in spite OF the lady's dis
comfture and the husbands ire. the
cold unimpassioned but persistent
stare was continued. The passengers
became interested, and 1t was obvious
that something exciting would soon

evident trepidation. and it was evident
that for her sake, IL not for the sake
OF decency, the young husband would
have plenty OF help should he need IL

was sudden and indeed dramatic re-
