the conductor, started around to collect fares, and
take up tickets About the middle OF the car he
came across heayy-ooking parsonage in a wool bat

the sleepers shoulder, and said. " ticket. The
sleeper stirred not nterntted his regular snore

terrific. As a last resort Vim pulled him back ana
forth in the seat until he fell between the seats Wheh
he awoke, and looking up Win grin, Nau.eu W
