4 fierce looking woman got on the train
ABOUT ten miles ont the road to come Il
TINS city. The affable conductor saw no.
.hlng remarkable in this, for fierce look.
ing females frequently "get on trains, !,
put both women and men, whether fierce
looking or not, are expected to paw their
rare. Inc woman in question fatty re-
FUSED to comply with the usual demand,
Wnlle she expressed her ability to /" buy
the conductor and all the money he had
stolen from the company within the past
year. f'''
The conductor thought this was saving
q good deal, but with as few words as
possible conductors are men of few Words
ne demanded, for the third time" your
fare and then pulled the bell-repe to
putthe would-be dead-headoff. The train
stopped and the woman was conducted
out upon the platform, and from thence
doWnthe steps, out upon the track. When
the train essayed to proceed on its way
the woman got on board. Not wishing
to put. her off while the train was in mo.
lion, the conductor pulled the rope again,
and again she was deposited on terra
firma. When the train started she GOT
on board as before, and again the train
was stopped and the tenacious woman
handed gently down. This time a break
man remained outside to detain her, think
ing ne could gain the train under way in
advance of the determined passenger
i,lt he was mistaken. The woman made
the rear car almost as soon as the break
man, and clinging to the railing about
the platform, managed to climb I'D and
was passenger still in spite of their eff
forts. The train had now lost considera-
BILE time, and rather than lay himself liza
bic to the charge of brutally treating
woman, the conductor permitted this re-
markable passenger to gain her point and
retain her set to the end of her journey. /
When' strange to say, she paid her fare s
and marched off. We doubt whether a |
parallel to this instance of determination ,
IN woman was ever recorded. 0
