There Is an article written by James
Cassidy in st. Nicholas on the "Girlhood
Days of England's Queen. Mr.. Cassidy
says:
There were in the life Of the princess
days when she longed for companions Of
her own age. Her mother, guessing this
longing, was very tender and gentle with
her, and considered often how bess to make
up for this lack. Once the du6iiess, 1t is
said, thinking to please her daughter,
"sent for noted child performer of the
day called Lgra, that she might amuse
'Drina with some remarkable perform
ances on the harp. On one occasion,
writes the biographer, while the young
musician was playing one of her favorite
airs, the duchess, perceiving how deeply
her daughters attention was engrossed
with the music, left the room for few
minutes When she returned, she found
the harp deserted. The heiress of England
had beguiled the Juvenile minstrel from
her instrument by the display of some of
her costly toys, and the children were dis
covered, seated side by side on the hearth
rug in state of high enjoyment, sur
rounded by the princess playthings. from
which she was making the most liberal
selections for the acceptance Of poor little
Lyra."

But They Didn't Give Him a Fair
Chance.
1t was on South Boston car. and the
car was crowded. The conductor had rung
one circuit of the dial and was on the Sec
ond lap when he came TO a slightly ele-
waited Individual who was standing with
one foot on the step Of the car and cling
ing to the bar with one hand.

sharply
Fare? can't pay any fare. "
"Come, comet Give up your fare" in
sisted the conductor.
"How m l to pay any fare when can't
get my hand in my pocket"
"Ain't you going to pay your farel" de
manded the conductor, grasping the bell
rope with threatening gesture.
I'm willing to pay, but Ican't get my
hand in my pocket"
And SO they argued. The conductor
threatened, but the elevated individual
simply replied that he could not get his
hand in his pocket. This was true to a
certain extent, because if he released his
hold On the bar he would have tumbled
into the street. But the conductor WASH +
a diplomat. just below the Albany station
he stopped the car and tried to hunt up
policeman.
His car blocked the way of Is other cars.
The passengers stamped and whistled and
shouted, but still the conductor hunted
for an officer.
Finally he returned, but still he would
not start the car until he could get an
officer. #S
"Are you going to pay your fares" he
finally demanded Of the obstinate one.
Cert nly," replied the latter, who had
descended 70 the ground during the wait
Of the car and explored his pocket "I've
Just got my hand In my pocket Here's
your money"
And the conductor was 30 mad that he
rang In two fares for the starting bell. -

but nothing save this one experience could
be urged against him should he apply for

story began, "for days sport, and one Of
