Stop and Think!
THE PARTY IN THE UPPER BERTH

THE PARTY IN THE UPPER BERTH
The party in the upper berth turned
over in his sleep. Then he c0mmenc-
ed to snore. His .snore was not Of the
canary bird variety 1t was loud, long
and melodious: a cross between a
young calliOpe and q very cid bagpipe.
It rose and fell like the ocean tide;
once in long intervals it stopped short,
as if the owner was choking to death,
but the cessation was only for a sec
ond,' for after apparently recovering its
breath it started again with such force
and volume that one felt sure it was
going on and on forever to the day Of
eternal, like Lord Tennyson's brook
let.
At first the snore found no resist
ance. II pierced the silence OF the car
disturbing no one, for all slept soundly
save myself, who, being Of wakeful
nature, sat upright in the smoking de-
partment, amusing and entertaining an
aching tooth. The snore from the up
per berth at the other end Of the car
was waited TO me first like summer
breeze across a meadow, then with the
dull. mOnotonOus, gearing of a moving
machine, and finally settling down to
the steady business of the boiler works.
The car was crowded, otherwise the
party in the upper berth would prob
ably have occupied a lower. People
who were in dreamland when the snor-
inc had it's berth now began to return,
one at q time, TO earth again. The ell
Derby maiden, in No. !, lower berth,
turned over and gToaned. The travel
ing man in upper 10, next door to the
snorer, rubbed his eyes and reached
for his liquor flask. The Pullman con-
ductor, who was figuring how to rob
the company, in the wash room, and the
porter, who only robbed the passen-
gers, both came trotting through the
aisle to locate the party with the Won
drous snore. One Of the passengers
arose in his wrath and night shirt and
Joined me in the smoking room. The
matter was discussed between us and
action soon decided upon.
We formed in procession eight strong
with our right resting on the side Of
the noisy upper berth. First was the
conductor with teeth set, then the pOr-
ter smiling but determined, then the
man with the wrath and the night
shirt. both of which he clutched firmly,
and myself armed with my pipe and
the toothache. We approached the up
per berth first on tiptoe, then with
stately tread. AS we drew near we
stopped and formed a mob. The con-
ductor pulled aside the heavy curtain
and with fendish glances we gazed up
ward at the monster.
That we were surprised stands to rea-
son. but that we should have turned
coward at this critical moment no one
would have thought The conductor
and porter with bowed heads passed to
the other end of the car, while the rest
C. us stole softly to the smoking room.
We had gazed upon a thing of beauty
the sweetest, fairest, most rayishingly
beautiful little woman in seven States.
And yet she snored.-Judge.
