When a Boulevard horse car started on
fits return trip from the Thirty-fourtb
street ferry it bore happy family of four
children, with thin woman in command
One small boy Of the party carried with
great solicitude handkerchief, which was
apparently filed with sand. This burden
was laid on a seat and quickly forgotten IN
the Joy of looking out of the window.
The car filed rapidly, however, and at
length a benevolent old gentleman with
gold trimmed glasses and an ante-bellum
beaver climbed on board and sat unsus-
pectingly down on the handkerchief. A
few moments later the small boy proprietor
looked around in alarm.
MA"
"What is it, Mikie'"
"Have you got de crab:"
"No, darlin'."
An expression of alarm twined in and
out among the freckles on Mikes" face,
and he looked anxiously at his venerable
neighbor.

inquired the old gentleman kindly.

"Crab in de hank, and you're on it,"
Gracious me, you don't say So" said
the Mortified old man, and then he arose
quickly for a man of his years, gave one
glance at his sandy and crab colored coat
