taking off his hat and passing it over to
the Infatuated female
"Was ever such insolence knownW she

Of her parasol. your days on this car are

The conductor reached up and gave the
signal to start
The wrinkled face old man gave the bell
rope a savage yank and the car came to a
standstill.
"You try that again" said the conduc-

Now it was the old mans turn to bubble
and boil.

"Oh, let me get at him. He will never

at the bell rope, and the Car came to
standstill again. Then he helped the Grim
son faced woman to the street, and they
both went over and stood under gas lamp
until the next car came along.-Boston
