He offered Her His Seat and She Finally
Accepted 1t.
"Take this seat, madam" said a
young man, rising and politely raising
bis hat.
The "madam," says the Free
Lance. was a lady of uncertain age,
who. after boarding the car and cast
ing a searching glance from one end
of the seat to the other and then
down the opposite side, had failed to
find an interstice between the sit
tiers sufficient to afford even SO thin a
person as herself a resting place.
She had then seized a strap with
each hand and a determined look, and
was holding on firmly when the young
gentleman aforesaid vacated his seat
for her.
"Before 1 accept your seat, young
man." remarked the woman, II must
ask you what prompted you to offer it
to mel"
The donor was not prepared for
such a query. He had been in the
habit of relinquishing his seat to
standing ladies unqestionably, and
having the seat accepted in a similar
unquestioning manner. So he was
at a loss how to reply and STAN
mered:
"W-w-whY madam, -"
Eyes, I want to know why" inter.
rupted the lady in a severe tone.
"Did you offer me that seat because
you thought I was too old and feeble
to stand?"
"Oh, no. indeed!" protested the
young man with unnecessarily forcible
protestations.
"Because, If you did I shall insist
upon refusing it. I'dhave you know,
sir, that I'm not an old woman. I'm
quite young, in fact. and IL you've
got the impression that Pm old and
feeble and that I can't stand in a
street car for nine blocks l must dis
abuse your mind of chat idea. Was
that your thought in Offering ME your
seat: Now, confess! I want to know
the truth, the whole truth, and moth.
ing but the truth"
The young man by this. time was
very red in the face. He thought it
was very hard to be subjected to such

should be made 10 the United states by

amount of the losses Of the United states
