Newly married, the young couple
were starting on their honeymoon. Be
yond themselves they had no thoughts
for anything or anybody, and they sat,
oh, so close together in the railway car
riage.
By-and-by the train drew up at a

passed the open window Of the car
riage containing the honeymoon couple.
The young bridegroom, who had just
kissed his new found missus for the
six hundred and twenty first time, rose
in his wrath and thrust his head out
through the aperture of the window.
