trouble and annoyance experienced by the
conductor in collecting the fares from such
an immense crowd, he, without any fuss or
noise. went quietly ahead of the official and
collected fares from a large number of pas

He then, with unexampIed modesty, forbore
mentioning the fact to the conductor, but

kindness. The frst-named callous individual

wishes were complied with, and the passen-
gers who were thus made to pay twice for the
same ride, sat still and wondered why some
men were so exacting.
