On the second day out Ebenezer was
snugly muffled up in his steamer rug idly

by the arrival on deck OF a young woman,
the like OF whose beauty Ballar dvale had
never seen, and her mother.

hopeless tangle; his heart had dropped two
beats.
But how was he to meet her? That was
the thing that bothered Ebenezer now
He had been told before sailing that all
iorInality was tossed to the winds aboard
steamships; that introductions among pas
sengers were entirely unnecessary. But
how could he know that she knew this
Perhaps II was her first trip over and no

He called his wisest mon together and
they planned to attack with 1900 warriors

These things will seem CRUEL to you, but
you must remember. that we were savages
and knew no better. We thought it right

ers In the vineyard, for while they hustled
and fastened he reclined upon a Turkish
dtvan. smoked a beautiful scented pipe,
and dreamed dreams for actresses to utilize
In getting their names into the newspapers.
But now his pipe had gone out, and in
utter disgust he dropped the 'worn-out
article upon the pavement beneath dis

no refuse should he thrown from the

one from China, specially imported for

Carefully he rolled the pill and applied
the match. Then he settled back on the
divan to enjoy the new pipe which had
been presented to him by popular prima
donna whom he had faithfully served.
There was knock at the door. RATHER

room.
"The telephone bell has been ringing half
an hour" she said. Hasten; perhaps 1t

Harold Dogstory, with a sharp cry Of
joy. sprang from the couch and left the
room. In few minutes he returned and
greeted his anxious wife with smile.

little Harold doesn't fall into the waste
basket. must smoke in silence for few
moments. and then to the hotel OF Violet

for me this night"
Soon naught could be heard in the quiet
apartment save the sound Of heavy breath

A few random circles Of vapor. purple and
exquisitely scented, arose from the pipe
clasped between his nerveless fingers.

DON'T FIGHT THE CONDUCTOR.
Court Of Appeals Lays Down tho Law for
AGIrieyed Passenger.

The Court OF Appeals recently decided .
case involving the rights Of railroad pas
senger in dispute with \ conductor. In
the course Of It's opinion the Court laid
down some rules which should DO Of inter-
est to that large class Of persons who are
ever ready to sauabble with railroad officials
over small matters.
The plaintiff, Charles n. Monnier. went to
the New York Central station at Oriskany
and tried TO buy a ticket for Utica. Tho
ticket agent was in another part Of the
station and did not return to the ticket Office
before the train arrived.
The fare from Oriskany to Utica when
a ticket is purchased is II cents; where
a passenger gets on the train without pur-
a statute permits the railroad company to
collect Ave cents extra: or, in other words.
the fare then would be 10 cents. The plain
tiff refused to pay the 10 cents and refused
to get off, The conductor, after demanding
the fare, and after the plaintiff refused to
get of, put him OF, using, however. no more
force than was necessary to accomplish
the purpose.
The case was originally tried before
Judge Merwin. A motion for non-suit
was denied and the jury found verdict
in favor of the plant III. An appeal was
taken to the Appellate Division, where the
Judgment Of the trial court was sustained
by a divided court. Justice Spring writing
for the majority and Justice Williams dis
senting.
The case at the time Of the aff1rmance
in the Appellate Division created some
interest about the State because Of the
tart opinion OF Justice Williams, who,
among other things said;
1T is uncomfortable that man 80 small
and mean as to create a sensation and render
il necessary for the conductor to eject
him from Che train and forcihly carry him
out and set him down upon the ground
should suffer any apprec!able injury to
his feelings by the transaction"
From the decision Of the Appellate Di-
vision the defendant appealed to the Court
of Appeals. which court in turn has reversed
the Judgment Of the Appellate Division
and sustained Justice Williams view in the
Appellate Division BY . divided court,
