attained the age speci fed in the will and
made application for her share of the prop
erty. 1t was not forthcoming and she re-
tanned Attorney w. H. Waste to investi-

sented. Here the regular established fare
was rendered and accepted and the ticket
issued, which was the only ticket a passen-
ger from San Francisco to Alameda via
Oakland can obtain; the only ticket pro-
vided by the defendant
This being so the defendant cannot be
permitted to say that it was not the ticket
which the statute obliged it to provide and
issue, and this is more especially true in
view of the fact that it contained nothing
which in terms denied or assumed to cur
