SHE MARRIED

BY ARTHUR w. BREWSTER

A number OF ia1Ses drinking after
noon tea were narraing experiences
In their first meeting with their hus-
bands. Some could not remember this
beginning of their marital affairs and
some meetings were commonplace.
One experience was quite thrilling.
The lady told 1t as follows;

travelling abroad. There are today
many and were then n few American
girls who thought nothing of travelling
In Europe alone. | was one of these.

But the door had been locked by the

to step back on to the platform of the
station when man inside called out
to me to hold on and he would lift me
in. This decided me to remain where

There are no bell cords on European
trains as there are In America, and
those who saw me were unable to.stop
the train.
I was wondering how long ! could
! hold on when / saw a man getting out
| of window Of the coach next ahead
of me. He gained the footboard and
worked his way to the rear end Of his
! coach.
No, he was not my husband either.
| He did not dare to attempt to pass the
space between the two coaches. He
looked at it lugubriously, then at me.
! then made his way back to his conn
partment and climbed in at the win
dow, leaving me to my fate.
| / turned about in order to face the
wind instead of having it on my back,
and saw man coming toward me from
| the first coach after the engine. When
he reached the end of his car he did
not look at the interval between it and
the next but grasped what was lrequir-
ed for the feat and swung himself to-
ward the next car. For few moments
he hung in midair, not being able to
get his feet on the footboard of the
coach he was striving to reach. Then
he succeeded, and breathed again.
He sided along easily till he reach
ed the next interval looking at me
as much as to say: Hold on; I'll be
with you In moment" But when
he strove TO cross the next interval
between coaches he was not as fresh
as he had been and found the passage
more difficult But he succeeded. and
had but one more interval to cross.
Meanwhile my own strength was
rapidly waning. At any moment a
lurch might come that would shake me
Off the foot board and at the rate the
train was going / would probably have
been dashed TO pieces. Pausing for an
instant to wave a hand to me en-
couragingly, my would be rescuer
started for the last gap. He hung be-
tween the cars, as he had done at the
first crossing. and 1t seemed to me that
this time it would be impossible for
him to secure a footing. But he sue

more his arm was around my waist.
There was a danger of my fainting.

Ing above the surface Of a river far
below.
But more than this was in store for
us. After crossing the river we
plunged into the side of mountain.
The darkness, the dirt, the smoke and
gases emitted from the engine were
appalling. Never in the world would
| have got over the bridge or through
the tunnel had it not been for the
strong arm and iron will of the man
who held me. But as soon as we
came to daylight again the strain was
over We pulled up at station.

Is, 20 and 2l. The Judge made the fine

the aisles were packed with spectators.

ARGUMENTS BEGUN
 AT THE ETTOR TRIAL
Case of Strike Leaders to Reach Jury
 by Thursday.

Salem. Mass, Nov. 19-Closing ar guments to the jury began here today, bringing toward conclusion the trial of Joseph J. Ettor of the Industrial Workers of the World; Arturo Giovan- nitti, an Italian socialist writer, and Joseph Caruso, wool mill worker, for the murder of Anna LopizZo during the textile strike at Lawrence last winter.
 Arguments were begun after Judge Quinn had overruled motions made by defendants counsel to take the case from the jury so far as Ettor and Gio-' vannitti were concerned. These two were charged as accessories to the killing before the fact, it being al- legged that through incendary utter ances they melted the strikers to riot ing that resulted in the woman's death. It was urged upon the court that insufficient evidence had been presented to justify submitting the case of these men to the jury. For Caruso, who is charged with having stabbed Officer Benoit and with hav- ing actually participated in the fatal riot, no motion was made to close the case.
 When court adjourned for the day, James H. Sisk, counsel for Caruso, had nearly ended his plea for his cli- ent He will be followed tomorrow by J. P. s. Mahoney on behalf of Et- tor, and w. Scott Peters for Giovan- nitti. Henry c. Attwill, district at- torney for Essex county, will close on Thursday for the commonwealth when the jury will retire to deliberate on the verdict
