shrugged his shoulders. The panto-
mime had taken but a few seconds,
then the express drew slowly away
from the local, and the man in gray
had slipped behind, out of sight.
Gordon Craig, of Texas, rubbed his
forehead in perpleXity, glancing
about him. The car was full of
stOdgy, self Centered people, for at
this hour even the local trains are
crowded. Most of the passengers
were absorbed in their newspapers
or were staring vacuously at moth
ing. Craig could see no reason why
a pretty girl in another train should
be startled into making a violent
gesture to him, a complete stranger
to her. He glanced down at his
we'll fitting clothes, took of his hat
and looked at it swiftly, then dropped
his eyes to his polished boots. He
could, however, see nothing amisS,
and gave it up. New York was a
funny place. But that was certainly
a pretty girl. The swarthy little man
who had been crowded close to him
now began to fight his way to the
door, and Craig made space for him
to pass and for the passengers who
had alighted from the express at Sew
enty- second Street to enter.
A hand was laid lightly on his arm
as the train started again. Turning,
he saw the girl at whom he had
smiled in the express. She spoke be

rectly, that you have lost your wal

Everything Wrong.

me express started again with a
sudden jerk, and she was flung again
against the man behind her. This
time she heard only too plainly what
he said, but she pretended not to hear.
She was too tired to feel resentment.
Even in the high, well-ventiiated
schoolroom the atmosphere had been
humid.
This was surely one of those days
in which everything goes wrong,
unused the girl. Twice she had been
reprimanded for inattention. She had
botched q recitation in mathematics,
usually her easiest subject She was
worn and irritable, and remembered
with a sinking heart that there would
be no respite for her tomorrow
Monthly examinations were due and
these meant examining far into the
night. Once more she sighed and
shifted her load Of books from one
arm to the other. Nothing in the
world seemed cheering or encourag-
ing. She was unhappy and half sick.
The express, roaring along between
stations, was gradually overtaking a
local train. The slower cars were,
for a minute, even with the express,
and Mary gazed absent mindedly
through the windows of the car
speeding along scarcely four feet
away. A young, h-faced man in
a gray suit and SLOUGH hat stood in
the aisle of the local. His eyes met
the girls eyes, and he smiled in frank
amusement at the encounter. The
girl was suddenly aware of the look,
but she did not smile in return, yet
she forgot for a second that she was
intentionally warm and that her
books were heavy.
Suddenly she started and leaned
closer toward the window through
which she was gazing at the local
passengers The man caught her eye
again, and smiled Cheerfully, then his
look changed to one of bewilderment
as the girl in the express made a
warning, frightened gesture. She
was a queer creature, he decided,
and, although he still smiled, he

TARY DANIFORTH sighed in

the crowded subway car
came to a standstiu with a violent
jolt and jar. The man next to her ut
tered an unintelligible exclamation
and glanced at her angrily. The girl
knew that she had trodden on his foot,
but she did not venture an apology.
She released her hold on the strap
long enough to take a handkerchief
from her handbag and wipe her
damp face. The train was disagree
ably warm. 1t was the afternoon
rush hour and the car was packed to

she carried.

WANTS "MOVIES" LICENSED
Lindsay Asks to Serve Them as
Regular Theatres.
Ply Telegraph 20 The Tribune.

Albany. March at the request of
John .. Lindsay. president Of the New
York Society for the Prevention Of Cru
city TO Children. Assemblyman Cuvillier
introduced a bill to-day providing that
moving picture theatres in New York
CITY shall be licensed the same as regular
theatres. and taking the licensing power
away from the Board OF Aldermen. Mr..
Lindsay. in letter to the introducer,
sajd he could see no reason why the
moving picture shows should not be sub
ject 10 the same building and police reg
ulations as apply 70 first class theatres.
But" said Mr. Lindsay ut isn't so
much the physical as the moral dangers
Of the placer that bring them constantly
10 the attention OF the society. If the
present law excluding unaccompanied
children under sixteen years of age were
enforced there would be comparatively
little cause for complaint. You. Of course
doubtless know, that the society's records
are filed with instances Of children whose
lives have been ruined through associa-
tons formed in these places.
eft Is true that this bill might result n
wiping out some OF the smaller places
but there is no more excuse for the little
moving picture resort than for the smaller
theatre The same law should apply 10
both"
