Many thanks ore duo certain milk
man In this city for an act of kindness
shown a despairing young woman few
mornings ago. 1t was Sunday morning
and young lady from Auburn inten ded
10 leave Providence on an early train. 1t
did not occur TO her that there were no
early Auburn electric cars until she dis
covered the fact on Sunday morning. 1t
was getting late and the only possible
hore OF getting the train was TO walk
down To Earl street and take an Elmwood
car she was Durrying along ht "A tre-
mendous pace when tho milkman came
along headed tho right way. He gladly
took her In at her request ana rs they
nearec Earl street car was seen turning
out from the barn. The young lady
jumped from the wagon, uttered yell of
desnair, and the conductor thinking
something serious had bappened, stopped
his car In her excitement the young
lady had forgotten To thank the milk
man, but sbe caught the car anu her
train.
