Show A BRIGHT GIRL. How She loaleU a Couple of Woulil-Bc Math. its. There were two of them and they entered en-tered a Si::::i avenue elevated train at Fourteenth stecet, Xew York. One w as was a dark young man with a drooping desperado mustache and a pair of irresistible irre-sistible eyes, which he knew how to use to advantage. The other was rather lank, pale, dressed in tan, w-ith low slices and blue and black checked hose. Bo.th ' were dressed in the top-notch style, says the Herald. They took a cross seat opposite a c unci; young woman and immo liaiely their united gaze was riv eted upon the fair vis-a-vis. They did not look at her now and then, casting inn uraerable surreptitious glances. They openly and uninterruptedly uninterrupt-edly stared. The you ug lady kept her eyes on her book, and the young men showered a volley of eomplim-'ntary- remarks upon her but her expre.vdon was blankness itself. At each station one asked: "Shall we get out here?" "Oh, tin, let's go to the next," answered the other, and these questions were repeated every time the train stopped. The young men kept on staring. The young woman kept on reading. Just before reaching Battery place the young lady closed her book, got a dime out of nor purse, replaeed that receptacle ia the pocket of her reefer, drew down her gauze veil, picked up her umbrella, sat up straight, east a sidelong glance r.p and down the aisle, as if questioning which way to go out, and waited for the train to stop. "We get out here," remarked the sallow sal-low youth, nonchalantly. The young woman rose, stepped back to allow the young men to pass with an apresvous expression on her face, and, seeing that she was about to follow, fol-low, the two irresistibles passed on out. The young lady took half a dozen steps forward, then resumed her seat and the gate was closed with a bang. The young men, realizing that they had been outwitted, simply stood on the platform and stared, and as the train passed by the young lady threw them a tantalizing smile. |
