All the seats in the car were occu-
pied, says the New York Sun, when
she boarded the train at the Thirty
third street station of the Sixth avenue
elevated road She had wavy chestnut
hair and dark eyes. She was neatly
dressed and probably 20.
In her right hand she held a novel;
the other was buried in amuff. She
strolled through the car and then took
position near the door.
Some of the men passengers stared
at her. but none of them gave her a
seat. She opened the novel and began
TO read In four seats near her were
four Italian laborers carrying shovels.
A young man. whose face was partly
concealed by newspaper. looked up
from his seat. His eyes and the girls
met and he smiled. She gazed at him
in a vacant sort of way.
He smiled again. A frown passed
over her countenance and she stepped
d little closer to him. He evidently
thought that she was willing TO f1irt,
and muttered something. She said
nothing but it was evident from her
demeanor that she was annoyed.
One of the italian laborers arose and
proffered her his seat. The young man
smiled again. but his face became
clouded when she said
mo, signor, you are tired. I will
stand. Grazie, signor!'
The Italian kept his seat and began
to converse with his companions. The
young man folded up his newspaper
and thrust it into an outside pocket
of his overcoat. Then he smiled again
and ogled the young woman.
Then the young woman acted. Bend
ing over the young man she swung her
right hand and slapped his face. The
blow was hard. The young mans head
lurched against the window and his
hat was sent skimming to the floor.
The other passengers were aroused
and glanced from the woman to the
young man. She was as cool and un-
disturbed as if nothing had happened.
Finally she said something to one of
the lahorers in Italian. The Italian
was surprised to be addressed in his
own language and quickly arose and
DOTTED his hat. She took his seat and
unconcernedly resumed reading.
The young man evidently thought the
incident closed. But he was mistaken.
