on the side of his neck had been cut
and 1t was bleeding profusely and had
been doing so for some time before
he was called. Frank told the doctor
that he wanted to die, that he had no
use for this world any more. The doc

Frank would have had his wish, for
there was SO much blood on the stoop

Sorry for Him,

The young man on the elevated was
concealing lighted cigarette in his left
hand, to the obvious amusement Of the
young woman who was accompanying
him. Every once in a while he took
a surreptitious puff.
'Now, Frank" she protested, 'you
mustn't"
For answer he snatched her stickpin
with his other hand, and held it up
tantalizingly before her eyes.
Give that right back" she exclaim-
ed. Put it right in here"
She held out her open shopping bag.
The young man became a bit cor
fused, and dropped something into the
bag. 1t was not the pin. The girl
hastily closed the bag without noticing
the thin curl Of smoke issuing from it.
Several passengers rode three stations
beyond where they intended to get off
in the hope of further developments
but nothing happened.
'I'm sorry for that young man when
she finds out" murmured one man as
he departed regretfully.
