Not SO very long ago, Conducto,

and called by his friends "Jim," was pro-
NOTED from a way freight to a passenger
run between Freeport and Milwaukee,
and very proud was he of his new suit,
brass buttons and gold laced cap. He
had just left Milwaukee and the train was
well filed with passengers and Jim was
| feeling very much elated over the new
run" moreso from the fact that the sup
erintendent was also on his train, and Of
course would see how well he done his
duty. He had got about half way
through the ladies' car when two or three
seats ahead of and facing him sat hand
some and bewitchingly lovely young lady
| of perhaps eighteen summers, with brown
eyes, whose glance fairly turned Jim's
heart upside down, but beside her was a
little white wolly dog. whose black saucy
eyes shone as he sat beside her Now
the rules of the road did not allow dogs in
the passenger cars, and his heart dropped
as he glanced around and saw the super
inendent was also onto the dog, so in his
most winning manner he said as he took
her ticket, very sorry Madam, but we
are not allowed to carry dogs in the pas
senger cars
"Oh. my is that so? What shall l do
with him% and the brown eyes looked up
so beseechingly,

take the dog over to the baggage car and
be very careful OF il.
Lew picked it up as tenderly as baby,
and started for the baggage car. but a
strange expression of mingled astonish-
ment and surprise came into his eyes as he
picked it up; and staggering toward Jim,
remarked, Here. hold it minute; they

door, and for the next hour or so was to
be seen hanging around in the other

had no sooner taken the dog. than he,
too, staggered, and in voice that was over
century old. looked with face white as

Jim dropped the dog in the seat, CROP
