The girl smiled at first, but she continued

Presently at a stop her young man got

up to greet him.

Then she whispered to him and pointed to
the young man in the seat ahead. Instantly
her escort with purple countenance yanked
the young man to his feet and administered
a wallop on the point of the jaw. The smit-
ten youth nursed his jaw with surprised
and panied expression.
