The newsboys and bootblacks seeing an opportunity for sport, some began to coax, others to pelt him With slag. Neither moving him, oue crawled under the car and dragged him from his dangerous perch. Several times he returned to his seat. l being passenger on the same train was green enough to intercede for "tramp dog'' to have his ride. This gave me away. And do you know that when the train reached Fifteenth street-my stop ping place-so soon as alighted MT. Pup quietly and safely walked off that brake- bar, slunk over to the sidewalk and demurely took seat ca the odrbing.
