early in the morning 1t was freight. with
a way car on the end for passengers and the
conductor We logged along about eight
or ten miles an hour, shunting cars at every
station. 1t was sultry day, and near noon,
when the engine was uncoupled and went
off notwithstanding all about us, it
seemed.
In the way car, lounging on the long seats
against the sides, were six lank fellows, ma
tives of the backwoods, dressed in home
spun and talking about timber and crops
Everyone of them was smoking natural leaf
in clay pipe, with long stem. Presently a
sad-eyed woman, wearing sunbonnet, labor
iously climbed in. She had a market bas-
ket full of garden truck. In far corner she
seated herself and glared round at the pla-
cidly smoking yeomen. They didn't bat an
eyelash: just went on filling that little car
so full of smoke that you might have handled
it with a scoop shovel In those days l was
a good deal of smoker myself; but that
lll-mannered crowd got on my nerves. Any
one could see the poor woman was vexed-I
noticed it the minute she sat down.
After waiting several minutes to see
whether some impulse of common decency
wouldn't awaken in my boorish fellow pas
sengers, | cleared my throat and spoke up
so that all could hear:
madam, do these gentlemen l came
down good and hard on the word, @offend
you by their srnoking?"
"'Fend mel she snapped. 4Say, Mister,
did you ever see such an unmannerly lot?
Not fellow in the crowd with enough gump-
ton to offer lady thimbleful of baccy to
wad her pipe!'

fshed out and joined her pipe and stem a
half-dozen twists were rendered her by
brawny hands, with profuse apologies for
