A COMEDY OF ERRORS.

IN homeward-bound Bay View car, thu
other evening, sat four passengers contigu-
Gus to each other--two middle-aged ladies',
gentleman of about the same stages Of life,
and young girl They were evidently all
strangers. Now, it happened as curious
coincidence that the three aforementioned
passengers were the rossessors OF bundle
each, in size and appearance almost exactly
alike and, somehow or other, these pack
ages had all got together One of the
Indies alighted, forgetting in her haste her
parcel but was soon reminded of the fact
by the accommodating young lady, who
handed parcel to her, with which she
hurried of thankfully. When the car had
trayerscd couple of blocks. the other lady
made the hoirifying discovery that her
bundle was the one which tho first had
taken. The car was stopped in short order,
and, with a whitening look at her young
fellow-passenger, she seized what she sup
posed was the first lady's parcel and started
N pursuit of her own. The car ratified on
another block, when the gentleman, who
had been smiling sweetly to himself at the
incident just transpired, suddenly dropped
his smile, for he had discovered that his
bundle had been appropriated by the sec
ond lady. There was another passenger the
less on that car, and another addition to the
mixed up collection of people and bundles
but as the car or its passengers did not stop
70 learn particulars, the sequel to this in
adent is not known. Boston Traceler.
