kind of laughter.

sibility too, no doubt, for there was a
quiet self-conidence In her manner
which made her. quite unconsciously,
q personality among the nondescript
humanity that crowded the Car. Her
hair was light brown, and her eyes,
Collins perceived. when she lifted
them for q moment In his direction,
were his favorite color-at least, at
that moment-blue-gray.
On one side Of her sat q swarthy,
mean.visaged individual. Q common
Subway type. On the other sat a
p~uffyfaced gentleman, reading his
newspaper. Collins took all this in,
but his mind was busy with the pros
pective interview, and the thought
drove away the arrows of the busy
little god. Allison was the head Of an
important corporation, ana the whole
of Collins future hinged upon Allison's
definition Of a "c~lean-cut" man. Col
Inns had totally forgotten the girl by
the time the train stopped at Brooklyn
bridge.
Suddenly his attention was drawn
to her by hearing her exclaim in a
low, well-modulated voice, but express
sive of intense scorn:
"Will you kindly stop pressing my
arm, sir?"
His nerves were already tingling.
This slight incident completely upset
his equilibrium. He saw the puffy
faced man, who had begun to look
exceedingly uncomfortable, apparently
attempting to conceal himself behind
his newspaper. On the other side of
the girl the mean-faced individual was
snickering, evidently at her indigna-
ton. It was just a common Subway
incident: the puffy-faced man wal EVIL

lures who make a practice Of modest

and dragged the p~uffy-faced man from
his seat. Holding him by the collar
with one hanE' he delivered a clean
uppercut with the free fist, and had
the satisfaction of landing squarely
upon the puffy-faced mans optic.
Instantly the car was In an uproar.
Collins found himself the center Of q
mass of struggling humanity. a man
was clapping him on the shoulder and
shouting approvaugly. We'll done,
young fellow!" he exclaimed. that's
the way We Southerners would do.
Give him what he deserves!" Others
were straining 20 get at the puffy
