Two young telegraph operators were seated in an overseas picture house, when a young lady entered and seated herself beside one of them, while her male escort had to tJip into the row behind. The one near her promptly began tapping his fingers in apparently a careless way on the arm of his chair. But his friend understood he was saying in the Morse code: "I say, old chap, here’s n little poach sitting beside me. Think I’ll kiss her when the lights do down again.” But his cheeks turned pale when the stalwart young man in the seat behind negligently tapped his pipe out on the heel of his-- boot. For the tap taps were saying: “Try it on. you bounder, and I’ll wring your neck.”
