some imaginary object and she looked up
at the conductor In blank, half-fright-

took her some time to find her voice to
tell this fact to the conductor. He was
polite enough, but to say that he was .
cold-blooded brute 10 putting Il rather

would have to get OF the car. She
almost burst out crying while she was
telling him II was absolutely necessary
for her to get TO some place In hurry.
A young man rose from his seat, and
- he politely bowed, said that 1t would
be pleasure for him to pay her fare.
This seemed To embarrass the young lady
more than the difficulty In which she
was placed. She stammered that Il really
would not be the proper thing to accept
money from stranger, but the young
man had by this time paid the conduct

said:

The young man offered to loan her

then did the thing she thought she

here his real gallantry displayed itself.

 Phoenix has made wonderful strides since the 4th day of April last, nine teen years ago. when I landed in town from the hurricane deck of a wagon in which I had journeyed with my mother from San Bernardino. My father, whom many of Tna Republican readers know. A. Mcdonald, and who is not responsible for my character. had been here year before We came out. At that time there were few bus mess houses in the town. The old city will spread and grow till it becomes one of the greatest cil,ies in the south west.
 Today have met many acquant- ances who remember We as the market hu1J.er of the past. Lew Collins was my only peer; superiors I had none in hunting geese, duck and quail. Lew is here yet and seems to be entirely re- covered from the attack of dyspepsia he took when I was cooking for him when he had his tnling outfit and was baling hay for the Salt River valley farmers. I also met J. P. Ivy. elect5d to the legislature by the de = Oalats of this county. WEen Jim was q boy he gave no promise of evlr being 2 law-maker.

PULLED THE PRINCE.

An amusing little story, said to be quite true, has just got out about the prince of Wales.
 He and Lord Darlington were driving in an ordinary hanson from a private party at Lady Bingham's house ill Portland place, for his royal highnes7 is well known not to be above hiring q hack or cab. They stopped at a cigar shop in Pail Mall.
 The prince, having no money in his pocket, borrowed the necessary half crown. from his companion. Jehu ac- cording to his wont, bit the coin and halloed out: Its bad!' and got down from his perch with the very evident intention of having what most cabbies enjoy--a good row.
 Lord Darlington explained who the fares were and handed over another half crown. but ''cabby" did not part with the counterfeit one. and drove off with broad grin on his face.-New York Herald
