sat down by young woman. He
touched her foot with his and she
drew her foot away. Then he let his
hand fall in her lap. and she changed
her seat to the other side of the car. The
man followed. Mr.. Kellette addressed
the young woman, with the observa-
ton, IF that man is annoying you:
and you require assistance say so.
He is annoying me-" replied the young
woman. What have you to do with
it," asked the well dressed ruffian. For
reply, Mr.. Kellette stopped the car. and
pointed to the door. The man under
took to hold his ground. Mr. Kellette
seized his collar, dragged him to the
rear of the car and threw him off. The
man undertook to draw a weapon. Mr..
Kellette sprang for him. knocked him
down in the street. and then jumping
on his car resumed his trip as though
nothing had happened.
