way cable-car conductor. The car was
on a downtown trip, and had but few
passengers until it reached Fourteenth
street. There half a dozen people, five
women and one man, got aboard. Three
of the women and the man found seats
together, but the other two went to an
other part of the car, thereby leaving
it doubtful as to whether they were
members of the party or not. The man
with the three, instead of giving the ex-
act change, offered half-dollar in pay
ment of the fares, and the conductor
was as much in the dark as ever. To in
quire was plainly the only way to arrive
at the truth. With polite wave of
his hand toward the two women in the
further corner, he asked blandly: "Are
