She Didn't Want to Pay Fare.

A few days ago a little girl, alone,
boarded a Third-avenue car at Eighty
eighth street. She seemed self-pos-
sessed, notwithstanding the fact that
she was several times tumbled into the
laps of passengers by the jolting of the
car After a scramble she landed safely
in a seat at the end of the car farthest
from the conductor. She swung her legs
to and fro as only a little girl can, and
locked about at her fellow passengers.
When the conductor came for her fare
the little tot looked up q him, seemingly
amazed at his presumption, and shook
her head in the negative. The conduct
o. persisted in holding out his hand.
The child's feet swung faster, her face
grew red, and in a stage whisper she in
formed him that her papa" had just
been made policeman by Mr. Roos-
terveN.'
There she stopped. thinking that in
formation was sufficient. But she was
mistaken.-New York Herald.
