Couldn't Bluff Her.

Bystanders at the Great Northern
passenger depot witnessed an anus
ing tete-a-tete this morning between
man and woman. 1t seems that
son of the lady in question, who, by
the way, was about to leave the city,
was indebted to the man, and the lat
ter was endeavoring to hold her bag
gage with the proper persuaders. The
woman had enough of the legal in
stinct about her to know that the pros
ecutor had not the right to interfere
with her passage. She therefore eXer-
cised her womaniy prerogative-
speech-and the way she dug into"
her sons creditor was caution. She
later told her troubles to the police
man.
