unon or inquiry Of any kind the man WIS
proceeding to hand his bride up the steps
OF the Pullman sleeper when the con
ductor demanded his tickets.

replied the tourist. Il know where | am

cts to YOU
Il am very sorry at having TO incon-
venienCe you, replied the conductor af-
fably, but my instructions are not to

duCtOr, Courteously, but my instructions

let these other passengers in the car"

man. Il haven't got to, and. now that
my ire is aroused over this thing. / don't

"Thcre is our superintendent of car
service-yOu may speak to him about this
matter said the conductor, as he saw
his superior officer approach If he
says you can board the car without show
ing your ticket, why. it will be all right. 80
what IS the trouble here" asked the
car superintendent as he came up to see
what the alteration was about.

him my ticket before board the car, =" re
piled the man. II say | haven't got to,
and do not mean to. ! know where | am
going and am able to look after myself. ="
Have YOU got your tickets" asked the
superintendent

right. / know what ! am doing.

doing, | tell you"
"Oh, well! Let the man on the car. -
said the superintendent. IF he has his
tickets as he says he has it is not worth
while contending with him over the mat
ter and delaying the other passengers.
The conductor stepped aside ana let
the couple pass, calling the porter to take
the saChel as he did So Presently the
train pulled out of the depot aud was
speeding across the prairies at a rapid
rate when the conductor began to collect
the tickets in the sleeping car AS he
did so he noticed that all the seats in
section seven were occupied and he inn
mediately surmised that there was a
peg out of place somewhere, and there
would be more fun with the obstreperous
passenger. He kept his counsel to him
self, however, and went on with his col
leCtiOns. When he reached section seven
he took the tickets Of the two parties oc-
cupyinG the seats, opposite his bridal
friends. saw that they wore for that sec
tiOn-for the upper and lower berths re.
spectively-and his surmise was thereby
developed into certainty. Without
passed through all the other sleeping
cars on the train, took up all the tickets
and found that every berth was occupied
without leaving any for his friends
Returning to the car where they sat he
found the regular train conductor entel.

reached the seat which the couple aeon
pied.

On reaching the door Of the car the
man turned, and. in tone OF voice loud
enough to be heard by every one in the
car, said
