A CONDUCTORS TALE.

How He Onoe Brought . Dishonest Old
Woman to Time.
Ihave often been asked how I remember
the faces Of all the passengers on q long
train, and tell whether they get OF at the
right station or try to cheat the company by
riding farther that their ticket designated.
It does require q great deal Of experience to
handle Q long tram Of heavily loaded
coaches end not allow q deadhead to alp
through. The most difficult passengers are
ladies. By taking OF q shawl and hat and
domingo different garh they change their
appearance completely. And, then, ladies
who are riding q short distance, and there
fore do not change their headgear, always
wear hats that look alike. Women follow
styles closer than men. Their dresses will
be out in the same style, and they even
carry similar styles Of paresols and travel
ing bags. In these cases I remember q lady
sometimes by any peculiar feature Of dress
such as q feather in her hat, o fiashy
brooch, or ribbon trimmings, say. And you
would be surprised to know the number Of
women who consider it only a pious fraud
to cheat q railroad company out of the fare
for q ride. There is a small town on
my run where several women get
aboard every day to 60 to q
county seat a few miles away to
do shopping. About the time that I open
the door to collect fare some Of these wom-
en- are suddenly absorbed in viewing the
landscape from a car window, II the
country were entirely new to them and they
were admiring its beauty for the first time.
lsuppose they think they will impress me
that they have been on The train for some
time and had lever seen the country before
and that I would pass them by and they
would soon arrive at the county seat and
alight. Some Of them become so ~enraptured
with the beauties of the landscape that ]
have to tap them on the shoulder several
times and cry: s'Tickets, pleaseP' before
he magic spell Is broken and they re-
luctantly open their purses. One day an
old lady from this little town got aboard and
she looked intently through the window and
was apparently oblivious to my presence.
! passed on through the coach and said
nothing to her. made several trips through
the coach on purpose to see how she would
act. The moment I opened the door she
would suddenly be attracted by some sight
through the window. Finally ! walked uT
and, tapping her on the shoulder, said;
"Madam, that's q fine farm put there and ]
would like to own it; but fare. please
don't wish t. slight anybody" She "feii
cheap" to use q Hoosier phrase, and eve,
after that time she il always ready to paJ
her fare when h rides IN my train.-St
