II generally have some one in mind for
every character draw, and elaborate
or modify peculiarities as the occasion
demands Is this man OF a woman?,
"A woman-noble, patient, self-sacri-

The writer studied the FIRE more in

Yes, I've tried to portray several"
But find certain little traits in some
of the characters that remind me one of
the other, and l thought perhaps one
was really continuation of the other. !"

A NEWSBOY'S MISTAKE.

the Conductor Knew Better.

He Thought He Was Riding Free, But
the Conductor Knew Better.
A little ragged boy slipped into
crowded cross-town car few nights
ago, and, working his way well up to-
fraction of seat Then he squirmed
for full possession. An old-young man
sat next to him and looked a protest
against the jostling
Let me get back" pleaded the boy,

paid me fare"
The face of the old-young man took
on an amused expression at this honest
avowal of purpose, and he made room
for the urchin. But he made matters
straight with his conscience by a short
lecture.
You wouldn't cheat the company
would you?"
The boy nodded and laughed "You
bet would" said he. Then he became
more anxious Has he took up the
fares yet?" he asked.
NO" said the old-young man
"Wottle do?" asked the boy. "rn
tell him paid once"
Then the conductor came elbowing
his way along, collecting the fares
Hes got his eye on me-" whispered
the boy, in a frightened way 81 seen
him lookin'. better slip off, hadn't I?'
NO Keep still. He won't see YOU"
The old-young man became suddenly
conscious that his attitude was not in
the strict line of probity he had thought
to impress on the boy.
Don't lie whatever you do" he
added.
Then the conductor held out his hand
and the old-young man dropped dime
into it Two" he said. But the boy
never heard him. He was too intent on
the conductors next act. And as the
official passed him he turned to his
neighbor with an atrocious wink.
