When these cars were pulled through
a tunnel the passengers were left in

railway cars passing through tunnels

When Tom Arnold was about to re-
turn to college for his sophomore year
he was asked II he would escort q little

prevent conversation with him.
But If Miss Atwood was tongue tied
che was very pretty. There is nothing
more delicate, to a young man espe-

Lucy's complexion was as soft and
dOwny as a peach, and her lips were a
combination Of beautiful curves. Tom
couldn't keep his eyes off them. He
was young and a sophomore In college,
q combination that can occur but nee

go through it, and n car do a great

This was the basis of a plan Tom
formed. Before reaching the tunnel
he would go into another car, first
noting the exact position of his charge.
As soon as the train plunged into dark
ness he would re-enter, make his way
to where Lucy sat, take the kiss and
retire. Some time after the train had
emerged into the light he would 60

newspaper and begin to read as II

AT THE EMPIRE.

There is enough variety in the bill
that is being offered the first half of
the week at the Empire to hold the at
tention of the consistent vaudeville
patron. Reed brothers, one OF whom
is described on the program as The
Eccentric Waiter, the Nuttlest OF
Nuts" have an act of the acrobatlc
order that is made highly diverting by
the original methods introduced, the
member of the duo who chooses to be
known as a nut" being a whole show
in himself. Matte Choate & Co. have
one of those "begone william" shaky
music kind of sketches, where the
heroine tries to pull laughter and tears
from her audience in the same breath.
There are four people in the playlet.
It is called "Outclassed." Mother is
burlesque queen. She has daugh-
ter. Rich mans son courts daughter
and asks to marry her. Father appears
on scene and protests. Father, 1t de-
velops, once made love to the
burlesque queen under an as
sumed name After he got

cast her aside. Well, you can mag
