She Had Her Ticket.

A very pretty country maidtn was just in the act of boarding a train at the union station, says the Pittsburg Press, when a Pennsylvania railroad brakeman stretched forth his strong right arm and said: * ' '> “Please let me see your ticket” The lady turned red in the face, and with an innocent smile answered: “I don’t like to—but—but—-I have, a ticket, sir.” “Well, well; you must let me see your ticket, and don’t keep other passengers waiting,” replied the brakeman, a little impatiently. The young lady placed her foot on the step of the car and drew out from one of her black hose a coupon ticket almost a half yard long. “There it is, sir,” she said, with faltering voice. The brakeman gave the ticket a hasty glance, assisted the ”oung woman to the car platform, raised his hat in a polite bow, and was left to blush alone, While the other railroad boys laughed at his expense. “I was a brute,” he said.
