Tho Polite Conductor.

1t was the slack time of day, and there
was only one passenger in the west
bound Jefferson avenue car. Ho was a
sad eyed man who looked as if he might
be a widower or desired to be one, and
he interested the conductor to such all
extent that he couldn't help but watch
him and at the same time pity him. A
couple Of minutes before the car reached
Woodward avenue he beckoned to the
conductor, and he hastened to him.
If, - he said, with an evident effort,
eff / want to go to the city hall, do
get off at the next street?
Eyes, SIR" replied the conductor,
more than usually polite.
THANK you, said the passenger and
rclapsed into his former state of sad
ness.
The conductor went back to his plaoo
on the platform, and when tho car
reached the far side Of the street ho
stopped it. The passenger, however
appeared to be oblivious of the fact.
Excuse me- said the conductor,
coming to him, "hcre is where you get
off to go to the city hall. :"
''Thank you,'' was all the passenger
said, without making a move.
"Ain't you going to get OFF," hest
tated the conductor.
"Oh, no. 1 merely asked if wanted
to go to the city hall was this the street
to get off at, but I don't want to go
there. I want to go to the railroad sta.
tion," and as the sad passenger smiled
wanly the conductor banged the go
ahead bell with vigor that frightened
the motorman. Free Press.

of what had or had not been discov-
cred, Pierre was examined in every de-
tail of his life and of his crime. He
dared not lie very much. for he had no
notion of what the witnesses whom
the judge had examined before he
called him had said, or what those
whom the judge would call after he
had gone would say. So he relied on
his tale that he had killed the student
in self-defense, and pointed to the self
inflicted marks on his throat to prove
how the student had tried to kill him.
He could see that his story had some
effect.
That night he was taken to the Ger
trail prison, after the judge had tod
him that he would be held for trial.
In the Central prison he was confined
three days. Toward the evening of
the third day Pierre was removed from
the Central prison to the Conciergerie.
The Conciergerie is gloomy old stone
pile. The older part of it dates from
long before the revolution, and played
a horribly important part in that terri
bic struggle. Now serious offenders
are taken there ten days before trial,

But the climb ended at last, and
Pierre was ushered into small room
wherein were ranged four rows of little
coops, somewhat similar to the one in
which he had been locked in the prison
van. But they were provided with
little seats. and were open without
doors in front. Once in one of them,
however, no one prisoner can see any
other prisoner, which is the purpose for
which they were designed. In every
corner of the room, in every open space,
were the horrible republican guards
Pierre was pushed into one of the little

three bolts had been slid on each Of
three doors, it led into gloomy stone
staircase winding in a small spiral up
a tall stone tower. This staircase,
dripping with dungeon damp, its stairs
highly polished and with corners worn
round by countless preceding criminal
feet, was an uncanny experience. So
short were the turnings that Pierre
could not see the guard who went be-
fore or the guard who followed. He
could only hear their resounding foot
steps and the clanking of their arms.
Visibly he was all alone In the gray
gloom Of the round tower. Audibly he
was between two men, each with
loaded musket. It was here that fear

nobody could see him, Pierre's hands
were at his own throat with terrible
