but as yet that seat of ours held only
two. | moved eve TO the third place,
and | naturally expected that the
square-jawed uua to whom had
surrendered the outside seat would, in
her turn, move over and make room on
the outside for the old woman with
clutches. Did she? Well, not any more
than Helen Of Troy ever took in wash
irg or Cleopatra made a business Of
picking up carpet rags, did she. Worse
than that, she barely s%croonched in to
let the old woIlaa. with her clutches by.
There was, at that, a spiteful look on
her map ever the fact that the crippled
old woman had had the nerve 70 want
to get into the scat at all. Two corners

IN the old style, with high collar and
stock and all that, saw the vacant space

aged woman with q market basket
saw that there were only four in our
seat ard that all of the rest Of the
seats held five. She swung herself on
board with her basket held over her
arm. The on the outside slared
at her.

The latter regarded the mean wom-

a-one in your pighead. Cynthia-there's

minnit. and thatll he good enough for
me- and she deliberately pushed the
mean woman over and crushed herself
into the outside position-and never
felt so much like ~applauding out of a
theater as did right then.
Its easy to see what kind of train

who had been so effectively displaced.

of the woman with the market basket.
