The former spoke not a word to his companion, who was the only other occupant of the compartment., "and it only when the train was crossing Runcorn Bridge that the American said: *• Excuse me. sir, j but your tie is riding up over the back of your collar.” " well, what if It is?” was the curt reply. " Your coat pocket has been on fire this last five minutes, and 1 haven't bothered you.”
