A STOUT WOMAN with a brown parcel plumped herself in ront of Beatrice. A younger girl the other side of the stout woman hung from a white tile rung and when the train lurched Beatrice thought it must have wrenched her arm out. Once, as the stout woman juggled her parcel and knocked off Beatrice's the voung girl caught her eye smiled.

THE GIRL was tall and slim. She wore a perky hat that came to a neak. Her hair was rolled into a soft, brown curl at her neck. “Clean, ’ thought Beatrice. But the 8 fingers on the strap were grubby, No gloves. And when she wasn’t smiling, but sinking back into own thoughts, her red lips drooped. “She’s pretty,” Beatrice decided. She wondered what it must be - like, to be that girl, tired after a day in the office. What was she getting out of life,

this girl who wore a cheap imitation of a good coat—this girl who must love nice things or she wouldn't have bought that coat. What was she hoping for, and what did she do to make her hopes be realized? Was she happy? Happier than Beatrice? “Oh, yes” Beatrice murmured. “Much happier, Because I'm not happy at all.” -

JUST THEN, there was a flash of intense, white light outside the window. All the yellow bulbs in the subway car went out. Someone screamed. The train jerked to a sudden halt. Beatrice felt something hit her in the chest. All the breath was knocked out of her. It was the stout woman with the parcel. She had fallen, heavily, into Reatrice’s lap. A moment later, flickering pale emergency lights went on in the car. The stout woman picked herself up, muttering. Beatrice got up. “Please take my seat. If there's to be another jerk, I can stand it better than you can.” Beatrice was standing up beside the young girl, now. The girl was looking ‘at her with a wry little smile, “Sap!” she said. “Did anybody ever get up for you?” Suddenly, something burst with a crash like thunder. The roar rever-

Outside the car, Beatrice saw the feeble light of what could only be a lantern, swaying. “Now don’t get excited, folks!” a trainman shouted, holding his lantern aloft. “Just a little trouble down the line.” “We must be under the river!” {the girl told Beatrice. “Wasn't the |last station Whitehall? Yes, that’s where we are, all right. Under the river.” “As soon as the lights come on,” the trainman was announcing, “we’ll all file out and walk back to the station. No danger.
