They reached the prize together, both pretending Ig norance of the other, and, flopping themselves down, succeeded in squees. ———— ing breathlessly and miserably In There they sat then, each scowling and staring at the rudeness of her re spective neighbor, each wriggling and squirming as much as possible in or der to crowd that neighbor still further, Finally the situation became acute, and one of the women spoke with fine sarcasm: “1 beg your par don, but do you need the whole seat?” “I beg yours,” the answer came, “but I never talk to strangers” Just then a third pretty woman the two at once: “Why, tn think of find ing you two here together!

I will take him over wo General Gross, our brigade comman. der.” “Niver mind, me boy,” replied Fat. “1 left a million back over ‘he hill there.
