A Gallant Conductor.

Milford Index: The Oregon Short
Line has at least one gallant conduc-
tor. He runs between Juab and Fris-
co. So gallant is he that more than
one of the southern women VIII ride
on no other mans train and their chill
dren are held over to travel on the
gallant mans coaches No lone wo-
man ever has to board this train
alone and no multitude Of feminine
questions worry the gallant heart Of
this conductor. The other night a
middle aged woman travelling with a
very large roll of shHwls and bedding
on seat in front of her had more
than the ordinary volume of questions
to ask in reference to the speed the
train was making, the chances for a
wreck Of the train, how many It
would probably kill In case OF an ac-
cideut and how 1t was possible for
conductor to keep his equilibrium I'M
der the strain Of fire like he usually
got while on duty. Our ever gallant
conductor took the situation in at
once and concluded the best thing to
do was to give his full attention to
her Immediately and then proceed with
view he halted near the lady, who was
not bad looking by whole lot, and
began to answer the questions one by
one and hungered for more. Finally
he became legweary and leaned over
against and sat down on the roll OF
blankets and shawls on the seat in
front. when there was squeal and n
cry and q disturbance OF no small
caliber. Upon investigation. our gal
liant conductor found he had dis
covered l6-yeur-old passenger hid
den In the bundle. and what has taken
some Of the gallantry out of the happy
man is the fact that It was a female
passenger he sat down on.
