between Dennison and Steubenville. Then he
was notified that lady passenger desired his

He found the lady evidently in some trouble
and embarrassment. To his affirmative response
to the qnery whether he was married, the lady
stated hat she was on her way from Cincinnati

crisis was impending, involving the appearance
of an additional passenger. This startled the

an elephant he set to work to make the lady
comfortable. Ali the passengers were hastily

istance as could be procured on the train was
brought into requisition. In brief time the
little stranger-a fine bouncing girl is the phrase
put in an appearance and the conductor con-
graduated himself on his escape from dilem-

| he arranged an impromptu wardrobe for the
| very young lady from his own underclothing.
