 Painfully obvious of course. But why? Not just because the gun is inert or brainless. Some men are both.

 Clementon Slatts sitting op- posite. took in the eituation with one glance of his hand some brown eyes. which blazed with honest indignation.
 The cad:' he Sptur1cd be tween his teeth.
 The young man with violet spats leaned towards Flora belle oglishly.
 'eNice weather we been ha.r- snx, Cutie" he remarked with 8, smile that showed both his dirnpies and his gold tooth
 Miss Yuban sniffed indig- nsntly and began to read the car ads with brcathless inter cst.
 Say, Cutie, you appeal to me something terrific" the young man with the violet spats breathed into her she'll like ear.
 It was too much for Clenen- ton Slatts, Leaving his seat. he strode over and raised his hat to Miss Yuban.
 ''I beg your pardon,' he said but if this man is annoy1n& you -
 And he looked the young man with violet spats straight in the eye and slowly began peeiing the glove from his right hand. With frightened gulp, the young man with vio- let spatS hastened from the car.
 "Oh, I thank you % much'" F'1orabelle Yuban said warmly. Its a real pleasure 70 find that there's at least one real man left in the world"
 Clementon Slatts regarded her meltishly.

 Stabbing him vicious1y with her vanity set, Florabelle fled out to the rear platform and rode with the conductor.
