SOMETHING COMING
1t Happened in the ParIOr Car On the
Limited.
Detroit Free Press

Among the passengers in the drawing
room car was a mother and her boy of 4,
and the mother read a novel most of the
time while the kid raced up and down and
looked out for himself Now and then
she called out "Arthur!'' to him in a
drawing voice, and he returned to her
seat, but two minutes later she had for
gotten his existence.
After an hour or SO man of about so,
having a seat in the middle of the car,
fell asleep. His silk hat reposed on the
seat beside him, and it was a query Gin
the minds of half dozen other passen-
gers as to whether the hat would be
shaken off on the floor or carried away by
the kid. That he wanted to possess it
was plain enough but he hesitated until
it finally rolled to the floor. Then he
seized it and carried it to his mother and
said:
MA! Ma! See my baby .chairl"
Eyes, darling" she replied.
MAY sit down on it, ma ?"
"Please don't bother me-"
But may I sit down on it?'
Eyes, sit down and be quiet. Mama
wants to read" r>s.
Mama was permitted to read. The
youngster placed the hat in the middle OF
the aisle and sat down on the crown. 1t
sustained his weight for a time, but at
length he gave himself a sort of hump and
the fabric was crushed as fat as a pan
cake. He 'chuckled over it for a minute
and then rose up and just as he lifted the
ruins in his hands the owner of the hat
awoke and looked around for it. His eyes
finally lighted upon it, and he stood up
and turned white and red and moistened
his lips with his tongue. Everybody be-
gan to chuckle, and the mother finally
looked up. She saw how things were after
little and her words were beautifully
drawled and her cheek sublime as she
finally said to the wondering kid:
arthur, you must beg the gentleman's
pardon and tell him you will send him one
of papas old hats
