rough looking men who iostled her in
the doorway of the car She was
oound Tor Michigan and the thieves
hadn't left her cent. Her ticket
had been drawn out with the purse.
but it fell TO the floor, and some ono
picked it up and gave it to the con
ductor. That individual had a fog
horn voice, II piercing eye. pnd alto
gether his general appearance was
uninviting and betokened little sym
pathy so the passengers thought, but
they were mistaken.
As soon rs he found the distressed
Lady of went his cap, and chipping in
= half-dollar himself he announced to
the passengers that the lady had been
robbed and he asked for contribu-
lions. Every one responded. and
when he came back and emptied the
contents into her lap there wasn't a
more pleased man in the ear than the
big. grulf conductor ms he listened TO
she jingle of the silver; and the woman
well, she had recovered good Dor

Quence OF Mr.. parnells speech at Duo
