swung himself down so that he could
still peer through the windows of the
car at the passing throng and watch
for his stopping place. 1t came along

THE MAN WHO GOT UP.
More Clutches Than the Woman Who
Got the Seat.

The car had been long time on its
way downtown, and many passengers
had come and gone, says the New
York Sun, each seat as it was elnptied
being eagerly taken BY one Of the per-
sons who were standing.
Tucked away in the corner seat by
the front door a sad-faced man of
middle age was sitting He had been
there long time. His boots were,
shiny, but his trousers were sadly
frayed. His collar was clean, but his
coat was turning green. HIS tie was
the hoOk-on variety, without pin,
and there was no sign of watch
guard about him. He had no paper
with him and spent his time looking
out of the car window
The car stopped at corner and a
woman carrying crutch climbed OF
the front step and came in by the door
next to the sad-faced man. She did
not seem to be lame exactly, as she
held the crutch in her hand while she
mounted the step unaided and pushed
her way inside, but she seemed tired
and was evidently vexed at finding the
the car full.
The sad-aced man looked at her for
moment and then he turned ques-
tioningly to his fellow passengers, but
no one offered the woman with the
crutch seat. After a moments hes
itation the sad-faced man touched her
on the elbow and reached for the strap
above his head as he stood up and
offered her his seat.
