THE OMAHA SUNDAY BITE: DECOIBEn 1, 1007." 0 CHIVALRY NOT ALL GONE Days of Knighthood live Even la Proi&io Street Cars. GANQLH7Q YOUTH 13 THE KEHO i . II Ilebake Illhnleas Mm Wkt iMtgha mt Yf Wenii YV Rita Dowi la Lit f Boy. Those prDslmlnti who mourn because they believe the days of chivalry are dead ahotild iave been on a Fa mum street car Saturday moraine to see a reflection of their lugubrious belief." There It waa proven that true chivalry can flourlah In a prosalo modern street car aa well as It ever did In a feudal caatle; that beauty In distress can be auccored by brave men In sock suits and soft hats ax well as It was by knights In- clanking armor and helmets. The knight of the present story . was a youth In a muoh soiled blue serge suit His long, thin legs seemed to shoot out from ills body Into the very center of the aisle,, where two pointed knees stood guard. From the collar' of hla blue flannel shirt Ms thin neck roue, a seemingly precarious support for Ms large bulbous head. Hla face was freckled and the expression upon It waa that of one who knows his rights and is jealously watching for someone to attempt to step upon them. ' At Fifteenth street a young woman tripped ltghtly-Bboard the oar. 8he was apparently Irish, her hair was a pretty shade of red and good humor fairly bub bled from her pretty, face.. She, wore a long coat of a plaid pattern, ' a red hat with white feathers and carried a, basket on her arm. Tho young woman "was walking up the a'.sle when the motorman started the car. Apparently he was making up time, for he started very suddenly. The young woman. In" accordance with the laws of gravity, 'pirouetted around, veered to the left and sat down In the lap of the long legged youth. All the passengers, In ac cordance with the laws of human nature, grinned, some girls giggled and a bibulous looking Individual sitting Just across the alsls slapped his thigh and went Into a Veritable paroxysm of amusement. Youaat Woma-a Slashes. The young woman blushed to the roots of her Titian hair, scrambled to her feet and murmured apologies to the youth. He, In deed, -was the coolest person In the car as Is proper with knights. His round face did not even crack a smile as he gracefully ao- cepted the young woman's apologies. He pulled up bis trousers, set his grip which was underneath his legs at a little differ ent angle and gazed nonchalantly out of the window. The young woman, took the only vacant seat In the car, which was next to the young man. Thus the Incident might have ended had not . the bibulous individual across the aisle continued his demonstrations of mirth. These demonstrations were for the most part silent. He seemed to be struggling manfully with himself, but his body shook with laughing. He pulled hla cap off of hla bald head, crumpled It into a ball and smote bis knee with it. Then he strove to replace It on his head, but seemed to need both hands to conceal his mirth. It waa sometime before he 'rusted himself to look up. He saw the young woman blushing vividly, but still good natured. The aspect of the gangling youth on the other hand was wrathful. He fixed the bibulous Individual with a scornful eye. Apparently he was striving to look like wrathful Zeus, but unfortunately his face did not lend Itself easily to this mould and he succeeeded only in starting the mirth of the bibulous individual afresh. This was too muoh for the youth. Leaning forward, he said meaningly: "What "re yeh laffln atf D. I. Just Blinks Hla Eye. . The B. I. opened a surprised and bleary eye and looked at his interrogator. Then he cloned it again and shook with renewed mirth. "fou're a fine gent, you are," continued the youth. The young woman had also taken on an aggrieved - expression which alternated with one of admiration whe ahe looked at her ohamplon. When the youth glanced at her and aaw this look it acted upon his wrath against the bibulous In dividual as oil added to Are. Hla face took on a still more awful expression and he was apparently about to do something very decisive. It is impossible to say what might have happened, but just then the conduotor ' opened the door and yelled, "Union -station." The bibulous Individual picked up a staohel and stumbled to the rear platform, where he fell on the neck of the conductor. "Funniesh shtng I ever shaw," he gurgled so that everyone in the car could hear. The young weman blushed again and smiled. But the round face of the long legged youth wae as dignified and lofty as it is Dosslble for such a face to be.
