In a Sleeping (?) Car.

It was in a sb epng car, and they thought that every one was asleep. Probably every one had been, but they wose me. When I was enough awake to notice what was going on, I heard her: "Well, I don’t care. I think you’re real mean. All I want " “Yes,” broke in he, "all you wmt now is the last word, same as you always have, ain’t it?” “Yes, and I’ll have it, too!" spitefully. “You won t." “See if I don’t." “All right.” “All right it ia.” “Have to mock every word I say, don't you?" “Heavens, no. You never say anything worth repeatins. “Why do you echo me, then?" “I don’t!" “You do!" “I don’t!” “Shut up!” “I won’t!" “Ugh!" And there was a noise like a man tumbling into his berth. Then we beard, rather softly, as if talking to herself: “I said I’d have the last word, and I did. ‘Ugh’ don’t count, ’cause I don’t believe it is a word."— Harper’s Bazar.
