CHIVALRY IN THE SUBWAY

Man Surrendered Seat to Soldier, on Ground Hie Lady Friend May Not Have Him Long. * Good manners on the subway at any time are at their lowest jbb, which megns that it requires the Unusual to get * Beat-warmer to relinquish his coveted My've The other day It must have been the unusual, reports a New York correspondent. She was a sweet, fluffy-haired creature, and she was ac-

companled by a tall, handsome officer in khaki. They had each reached, for a strap but it was only a second later when a man dragged himself out of a seat with a groan and offered It to the young girl. She thanked him prettily, and her soldier escort also acknowledge his gratitude. ThenTaff anemic looking little man, who might have been a clothing work* got out of his seat next the girl without warning, and waved the man In khaki Into the place. “Why, I can’t take your seat,” protested the officer,

with a nice, blush!ng expression. “Why should you do such a thing for me?" “ ’Taln’t for you,” the other said ungraciously ; “it’s for the lady. Maybe she won’t have so much time to talk to you. Maybe she don’t, like to waste a minute. Sit down.” and he reached for a strap with a sublime unconsciousness of Ms own chivalry.
