A stranger enters and proceeds to make himself as comfortable as possible in anticipation of a long journey. The lady is deeply absorbed in a book and does not take any notice of her fellow passenger till he lights a cigarette, whereupon she becomes indignant and asks him if he will kindly refrain from smoking. He very gallantly extinguishes the fire and thinking that a good cigar might meet with her approval, tries that, but after a puff or two he is compelled to give this up also. Finally he takes out a pipe with a hope that it will be a little more agreeable to the young lady. By this time the young woman has lost all patience with the traveler, so seizes the pipe and throws it out of the window. For revenge he grabs her dog and docs the same with the poor inoffensive animal, while the woman looks on powerless to help, for the train is now going at a great rate of speed. The next picture shows us the dog as he lands on the track, picking up the pipe and starting in pursuit of the fast-moving train. He keeps up with it for a long distance, and finally when the train slows up it gives Mr. Doggie an opportunity to get past it. He reaches the station before the train and when the couple alight, there sits the animal with the pipe in his month. The man is so glad to get his pipe back that he jumps with joy and hastens away while the happy woman goes in the opposite direction with her pet. Written by
