and when she boarded q car and handed
the conductor a dollar, with i~nstruc-
lions to be sure that he made the right
change, he knew that she was not q
woman to be fooled with. Following
the usual custom of conductors who are
short of change, he pocketed the note
and returned to the platform, intending
to give her the 95 cents when he had
taken in more fares. The passenger
followed his every movement with
suspicion until the car stopped at Wash
ington avenue, when the conductor ran
ahead to see that the railroad tracks
were clear. Quick as a flash the wom-
an jumped from the car, pursued the
a~stonished conductor, overlook him.
