just as the car was starting a black dog
with immense whiskers, which stuck out like
an Elizabethian rufie around his head,
jumped on the platform unlimited and
slipped under the seat. The dog was mon
grel, apparently, and a waif Of the streets
The only person who took an interest in the
animals movements was the conductor. Re
spectfully and firmly the conductor asked the
canine intruder 10 come out. The dog didn't
show any disrespect particularly unless it
was involved in his persistent refusal to
leave his refuge under the seat
When the conductor went to the forward
end Of the car and clapped his hands and
cried: ''Sh-sh-get outl" tho dog calmly
ran down 70 the other end Of tho car, care
fully Seeping under the seat all the way.
The process was repeated without change,
with the positions OF dog and conductor re-
versed-that is, the conductor stood at the
entrance Of the car ana the dog ran up to the
forward end.
After a session Of this sort for about ten
minutes the conductor quit, although the dog
showed no signs Of fatigue. 1t was very
amusing to watch the dog, whenever any one
got out and left him exposed TO view, fly into
ambush again behind the neither limbs Of
some other passenger.
The dog rode to the terminus Of the line
