of prepossessing appearance and fash
ionable attire, swinging a light cane,
entered the Union station as a train
rolled in. He was expecting a friend
who did not come. But some one else
came, who proceeded to disarrange the
precision Of Mr.. Young's neckwear and
otherwise ruffle his equanimity. A
young lady, plainly but neatly dressed,
descended from a car, and, her glance
! lighting on the gentleman In question,
she rushed toward him, threw her arms
about his neck and covered his face
with kisses.
Now, while young men are not usual
! ly averse to being kissed, they don't
like to be taken by surprise. Mr..
Young made an effort to disengage
himself from the embrace, at least SO
far as to get look at the kisser. This
surprised the girl, and she, too, drew
| away. Then color rose to her cheek,
} and, covering her face with both hands,
she turned and ran away as fast as she
could. The first thing Mr.. Young did
after her departure was to rearrange
his disordered neckwear. Then he
missed a scarfpin with a handsome
pearl Get in II that had been there be-
fore the sudden attack. Rushing after
the girl, he caught her just as she was
leaving the station.
"IH trouble you for my scarfpin,"
, he said.
She looked up. marks Of distress and
| confusion still on her face. II mis-
| took you for my brother" she said.

or will call policeman"
The girls manner changed In a twin
king. Her eyes flashed ominously.

'I'm used to such games" he re-
torted.
You certainly must be. Such peo-
pie being your associates, you would
not be expected to know q true lady
when you see one"
| At that moment Young saw his pin
hanging head down from a bit Of lin.
gerie under the lady's throat. He
snatched II away from her and put Il
in his scarf. She appeared to be very
much astonished, too much astonished
in fact to speak. When she did she
said:
"It must have got caught in the lace
when r.
Rugged me-"
She stamped her foot and flashed at
him like q tigress. Then, obeying a
sudden thought, she opened her pocket
book and, taking out card, handed 10
to him. When he had read 1t the as
constituent was transferred from the
girl to him.

"He was my chum at college"

hand went up to his hat, and he un.

handkerchief and wiped the perspira-

"None whatever. One who mistakes

With this she turned contemporary
and strobe away. Young followed her

THAT would be no hardship. You
