RECLAIMED HIS SEAT

Street Car Episode In Which chIvaIry

1t happened In a crowded traction

ing labor at their desks. One of them,
a m%ildlooking man, so worn that he
positively looked i'll, had just sunk
gratefully into a seat with a sigh Of
relief when a woman, luxuriously over
dressed, entered with an air of i'm
p%ortance and stood by the Weary One.
He half arose, but sank back again,
resigned to be considered impolite.
The pompous woman shifted to the
other foot noisily and lurched against
him as the a made a curve.
Il don't see," she exclaimed vindic-
lively and %pointedly, gazing straight
at the poor Weary One, why they
don't run cars just for men and avoid
embarrassing them by the sight of a
woman hanging on to a strap!"
The Weary One gave up the ghost,
SO to speak, and got up, meekly Offer
ing his seat with a courteous:
please take my seat, madam"
The pompous, overdressed woman
flounced down into the seat without so
much as a-mumbled Thank. you'll" In
fact she did 1t spitefully and with an
air Of really comforting a favor upon
the Weary One by accepting his seat.
Several men snickered.
The Weary One grew red and green,
and then pale under the gills.
Suddenly his expression became de-
termined.
II beg your pardon, madam" he
said, quietly, "but you r sitting on
something that belongs to me. May
I trouble you to get up and let me"
'Humph!" snorted the pompous
woman, arising with an air of injured
dignity and utter disgust.
The mar bent over and pretended
to look for a lost article.
The woman stepped out into the
aisle, languidly.
The Weary One straightway sal
down in the seat, opened his evening
paper and began to read as placidly
as you please.
well, well!" gasped the pompous
woman, Il thought I was sitting OF
something that"
N"Yes, madam" the Weary One ex
planned, soothingly, "you were-my
