says: while waiting for train at

two boys sitting in neighboTing seats.
One of the boys at last folded high
ly-colored magazine and as he was
placing it in his hip pocket / asked
him if l might look at it. This led
to discussion in which the boys seem
ed to be friendly. and. as one usually
finds boys, frank in answering ques-
tons when their suspicious are not
