The st. Louis express, on the New York
Central Road, was crowded one evening
recently, whom at one of the way stations,
an elderly gentleman, accompanied by q
young lady, entered the oars and finally
| secured seat. AS the conductor ap-
preached tho pair, the young lady arose,
and in pleading voice said:

The conductor, accustomed though he
was to all phases of humanity, looked with
nstonishment at tho pair as did the
other passengers in their vicinity. A few
words from the father, however, sufiiced,
