How lie Broke silence.

1t was a real hardship for Judge
Brown to have 10 keep silent for any
length of time Even when travelling
he usually found some one who would
at least listen while he talked But
on one occasion he found himself IN =
railway coach with only one other oc-
cupant--a stiff. denified old lady, who
did not deign even TO look at him when
he raised his hat upon entering the
coach.
The Judge grew restless after they
had Travelled several miles. He
drummed on the window, coughed sew
eral times, then finally, in desperation,
cleared his throat and asked in stem
torlan tone
Madam. did 1t ever occur TO you to
wonder whether It had ever rainod any
before the time of the Floods"
The unusual question startled the old
lady out of her dignified silence and
the two old people were soon engaged
in animated conversation
