Her Begging scheme.

= respectfully dressed old woman ap-
par.ntly in deep distress was noticed
standing at the foot of the steps of an
elevated railroad station the other day
just at the hour when the rush was at
its height. The woman had apparently
lost something of value. She searched
her pockets, shook out her skirts and
scanned the ground on every side. OF
course it was not long before her dis
tress attracted the notice of passersby.
Il have lost my ticket she said in an
Swer to the query of man who stop

train. Il don't know what to do, for

The man pulled a string of tickets
from his pocket. tore off one. handed it
to the woman and resumed his rush
without waiting for her thanks. But
the woman did not follow. She mere
ly moved across to the flight of steps
on the other side. Here she resumed
her search. with the result that a nickel
was transferred to her pocket by 4
passing woman. Next she crossed the
avenue and gathered some more nick
els and tickets from the passengers 60
ing in the opposite direction, finally
returning to her original stand, where
her plight attracted as much compass
sion as before. While the observer was
looking on, the woman made two
