THE CLEVER GIRL.
How She VI, naged to Mortify Two
Rude Men.
(r-om the New Budset.)

A girl l know told me a little story
the other day. She is quite an ordinary
girl, well-behaved enough II people lie;
her alone and making 40 claim to equal
ity with any one except under extreme
aggravation. She Is a busy person and
therefore. when going home to dinner
only reached the station In time for the
exact train which would insure pune.
tuality. 1t was late and II was crowded
To waste time finding a seat would be
to be left behind, She got into the car
finding it full. stood quietly by the door
Two men on opposite sides Of the car
riage looked at her In wrath and one
said (you can imagine the air OF
se.f-praise): Il never give up my seat to
Neither do l." said the other. TITS
unreasonable that they should expect
They started sort Of duet on the sub
ject, enlarging by turns and In unison
on their firmness in keeping their seats,
the selfshness OF women in getting into
seats. why should they give them up
and much more to the same effect, all
directed with black looks at my friend
by the door.
She heard, unconcerned. The opinions
of the speakers did not interest her at
all. there was no reason why she should
trouble to answer them. All she wanted
was to be home In time for dinner.
at a station she took the seat vacated
and would have thought no more OF the
matter had not the two men still con-
tinued to talk at her with wearisome
Iteration. After few more stations were
passed another passenger got out. and a
woman. getting in, asked my friend a
quite unnecessary question. The two
men looked up; they could not help
being interested In anything the woman
they had been talking at so long might
say.
She smiled sadly and shook her head.
The question was repeated; OF course
three or four people In the carriage an
swered 1t at once but my friend shook
her head more sadly still and pointed to
her ears.
"Ah. deaf! Poor thing!" said the ques-
toner.
And the blank absurd faces Of those
two men were sight to see. My friend
said their humiliation would have made
her repent her little fraud had It not
been for the hearty and welcome deligh,
It afforded the rest of the passengers
The shout of laughter that rose at the
expense OF those two men was almost
enough to deafen any one In sobeI
earnest.
